For correct assignment of the vibrational modes, the experimental results were compared with calculated frequencies (B3LYP/6-31G*). CH vibrations were identified by their characteristic isotopic shifts in the spectra of deuterated triangular [4]phenylenes. Two CC stretching modes, at 100 cm(-1) and 1176 cm(-1), suitable as probes for bond strength changes in the excited state, were identified. The isotope effect on the internal conversion rates of triangular [4] phenylene was evaluated from measurements of temperature dependent lifetime. Isotope dependency and the magnitude of the internal conversion rates indicate that internal conversion in triangular [4] phenylene is most likely induced by CH vibrations. The results obtained by LESS and lifetime measurements were compared with PM3 PECI calculations of the excited state structure. The theoretical results and the relation between ground and excited state vibration energies of the 1176 cm(-1) probe vibration indicate a reduction of bond alternation of the central cyclohexatriene ring in the excited state}, language = {en} } @article{KammerMuellerGrunwaldetal.2006, author = {Kammer, Stefan and M{\"u}ller, Holger and Grunwald, Nicolas and Bellin, Anja and Kelling, Alexandra and Schilde, Uwe and Mickler, Wulfhard and Dosche, Carsten and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Supramolecular assemblies with honeycomb structures by pi-pi stacking of octahedral metal complexes of 1,12- diazaperylene}, issn = {1343-1948}, doi = {10.1002/ejic.200600092}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Homoleptic Ni-II and Fe-II complexes of the "large-surface" phenanthroline-type ligand 1,12-diazaperylene (dap), [Ni(dap)(3)](BF4)(2) (1) and [Fe(dap)(3)](PF6)(2) (2), respectively, were synthesized.

The Dexter-type triplet energy transfer is found to be thermally activated down to a transition temperature T- T, below which the transfer rate is only weakly temperature dependent. We show that above the transition temperature, Dexter energy transfer can be described within the framework of Marcus theory. We suggest that below T-T, the nature of the transfer changes from phonon-assisted hopping to quantum-mechanical tunneling.

In particular, cyanine dyes with excitation wavelengths lambda(ex) > 600 nm are often used in biological applications. However, aggregation behavior and matrix effects on cyanine fluorescence are not fully understood yet and interfere with the data interpretation. In this study, we analyzed the spectroscopic characteristics of a model system consisting of the biotinylated cyanine dyes DY-635 and DY-647 and their streptavidin conjugates. On the basis of the spectroscopic data, the interaction processes between cyanine dye molecules and proteins are discussed. Binding to streptavidin had a significant influence on both fluorescence and anisotropy decays of the cyanine dyes investigated. In particular, the fluorescence anisotropy was significantly altered, making it a promising detection parameter for bioanalytical applications in connection with the cyanine dyes used in the present study. In order to evaluate the time-resolved anisotropy, the introduction of a sophisticated kinetic model was required to describe the contributions from different fluorescing species properly. The rotational motion of streptavidin-bound dyes was analyzed using the associated anisotropy model, which allowed discrimination between contributions from different microenvironments.

Two-photon microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging reveal stimulus-induced intracellular Na+ and Cl- changes in cockroach salivary acinar cells. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 300: C1323-C1336, 2011. First published February 23, 2011; doi: 10.1152/ajpcell.00320.2010.-The intracellular ion homeostasis in cockroach salivary acinar cells during salivation is not satisfactorily understood. This is mainly due to technical problems regarding strong tissue autofluorescence and ineffective ion concentration quantification. For minimizing these problems, we describe the successful application of two-photon (2P) microscopy partly in combination with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) to record intracellular Na+ and Cl- concentrations ([Na+](i), [Cl-](i)) in cockroach salivary acinar cells. Quantitative 2P-FLIM Cl- measurements with the dye N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-6-methoxy-quinolinium bromide indicate that the resting [Cl-](i) is 1.6 times above the Cl- electrochemical equilibrium but is not influenced by pharmacological inhibition of the Na+-K+-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) and anion exchanger using bumetanide and 4,4'-diisothiocyanatodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid disodium salt. In contrast, rapid Cl- reuptake after extracellular Cl- removal is almost totally NKCC mediated both in the absence and presence of dopamine. However, in physiological saline [Cl-](i) does not change during dopamine stimulation although dopamine stimulates fluid secretion in these glands. On the other hand, dopamine causes a decrease in the sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate tetra-ammonium salt (SBFI) fluorescence and an increase in the Sodium Green fluorescence after 2P excitation. This opposite behavior of both dyes suggests a dopamine-induced [Na+](i) rise in the acinar cells, which is supported by the determined 2P-action cross sections of SBFI. The [Na+](i) rise is Cl- dependent and inhibited by bumetanide. The Ca2+-ionophore ionomycin also causes a bumetanide-sensitive [Na+](i) rise. We propose that a Ca2+-mediated NKCC activity in acinar peripheral cells attributable to dopamine stimulation serves for basolateral Na+ uptake during saliva secretion and that the concomitantly transported Cl- is recycled back to the bath.}, language = {en} }
