Molecular rotors are useful as reporters of their microenvironment, because their fluorescence emission allows to probe TICT formation and solvent interaction. Measurements are possible through steady-state spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy. Three primary effects were identified in Sect. 2, namely, the solvent-dependent reorientation rate, the solvent-dependent quantum yield (which directly links to the reorientation rate), and the solvatochromic shift. Most commonly, molecular rotors exhibit a change in quantum yield as a consequence of nonradia-tive relaxation. Therefore, the fluorophore s quantum yield needs to be determined as accurately as possible. In steady-state spectroscopy, emission intensity can be calibrated with quantum yield standards. Alternatively, relative changes in emission intensity can be used, because the ratio of two intensities is identical to the ratio of the corresponding quantum yields if the fluid optical properties remain constant. For molecular rotors with nonradiative relaxation, the calibrated measurement of the quantum yield allows to approximately compute the rotational relaxation rate kor from the measured quantum yield [Pg.284]

Optical properties of dendrimers bearing eight chromophores have been examined by single molecule spectroscopy techniques. It is especially exciting that variations in the spectra are recorded if one of these dendrimers is observed for a period of time under continuous irradiation.1481 The fluorescence intensity of the dendrimer nanoparticle also jumps between discrete emissive levels. All these findings suggest the existence of strong electronic interactions between several perylene imide chromophores within one dendrimer and provide new... 

SnC>2 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method using ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and ether as solvents. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) have been used to study the crystallographic and morphological properties of synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles, while their optical properties have been studied by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. UV-Vis absorption spectra shows a weak quantum confinement in all the synthesized SnCL samples. The photo-catalytic activity of as-synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles under UV irradiation has been evaluated using Methylene Blue (MB) dye as a test contaminant in water. The results showed that solvents played a key role to control the morphology and photo-catalytic activity of SnCE nanoparticles. 

This volume of the Handbook illustrates the rich variety of topics covered by rare earth science. Three chapters are devoted to the description of solid state compounds skutteru-dites (Chapter 211), rare earth-antimony systems (Chapter 212), and rare earth-manganese perovskites (Chapter 214). Two other reviews deal with solid state properties one contribution includes information on existing thermodynamic data of lanthanide trihalides (Chapter 213) while the other one describes optical properties of rare earth compounds under pressure (Chapter 217). Finally, two chapters focus on solution chemistry. The state of the art in unraveling solution structure of lanthanide-containing coordination compounds by paramagnetic nuclear magnetic resonance is outlined in Chapter 215. The potential of time-resolved, laser-induced emission spectroscopy for the analysis of lanthanide and actinide solutions is presented and critically discussed in Chapter 216. 

An additional system prepared by colloidal chemistry which continues to attract considerable interest is that of QRs that exhibit electronic and optical properties that differ from those of QDs. For example, due to their cylindrical symmetry, QRs have a linearly polarized emission, as demonstrated by fluorescence measurements on single rods [41], leading to polarized lasing [14]. The powerful combination of optical and turmeling spectroscopy discussed here was also applied to investigations of the length- and diameter-dependence of the electronic level stmcture of CdSe QRs [40].
