The solvatochromic, spectral, and geometrical properties of nifenazone (NIF), a pyrazole-nicotinamide drug, were experimentally and computationally investigated in several neat solvents and in hydro-organic binary systems such as water-acetonitrile and water-dioxane systems. The bathochromic spectral shift observed in NIF absorption spectra when reducing the polarity of the solvent was correlat...

A series of substituted 8-arylazo 7-hydroxy 4-methyl coumarin (4a-4g) were synthesized and in-vitro evaluation for their preliminary antibacterial activities against E.coli, Staphylococcus aurous, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeroginosa were carried out by agar-well diffusion method. Initially, the diazotized primary aryl amines, 3a-3g were synthesized and followed by coupling with 7-hydro...

Three xanthene dyes with different anchoring groups, eosin Y (EY), dicarboxy-eosin Y (CEY) and sulfonated eosin Y (SEY) were employed to electrodeposit ZnO/dye hybrid thin films to study the effect of anchoring groups on the electrochemical self-assembly (ESA) of hybrid thin films. The adsorption stabilities of the dyes in oxidized form were in the order, CEY >> EY > SEY, as evaluated by Langmu...

Vital dyes have advanced diagnosis and surgical technique in various specialties, including oncology, gastroenterology, and ophthalmology. In ocular surgery vital dyes are widely used in cataract and vitreoretinal surgery. Worldwide, intra-operative use of trypan blue during cataract surgery has enhanced visualization of the anterior capsule during capsulorrhexis, and patent blue has been recen...

Fluorescent organic dyes photobleach under intense light. Graphene has been shown to improve the photo-stability of organic dyes. In this paper, we investigated the Raman spectroscopy and photo-bleaching kinetics of dyes in the absence/presence of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene. We show that graphene enhances the Raman signal of a wide range of dyes. The photo-bleaching of the d...

this study demonstrates the spectral data for two triarylmethane dyes, malachite green (mg) and crystal violet (cv) at room temperature. effects of micellar environment, and crown ether addition on the spectral behaviour of the dyes were studied using absorption spectroscopic method. the dye-anionic surfactant interactions in micellar media were investigated. the chosen surfactants with differe...

Luminescent cyclometalated complex [Pt(L)py]+ (1) immobilised in Nafion film exhibits a solvatochromic shift in emission maximum from 530 to 650 nm upon immersion in ethanol but no effect is detected with aprotic organic solvents, whereas the emission of the [Pt(L)]+ luminophore anchored in silica materials shows a blue shift from approximately 665 to 550 nm upon exposure to pentane vapour but ...
