Rhodamine B, fluorescence

Equation (5) predicts that the appearance of the fluorescence from state 2 should not be instantaneous. When methylene chloride is used as a solvent the fluorescence does have a finite rise time. To show that the state 2 indeed has a finite rise time slower than the apparatus resolution rhodamine b fluorescence is compared to that from the pyrochlorophyll a dimer in carbon tetrachloride in Fig. 30. A finite rise time would not occur from different ground-state molecules in equilibrium. Thus this is additional evidence against two distinct ground-state molecules giving rise to observed phenomena.

Replace the diiliiser plate by the triangular cuvette of rhodamlne. The incident face should be opposite to the entrance slit of EmM. In this way the only light incident on EmM will be rhodamine B fluorescence. Reflected light is directed in the opposite direction,...

Fluorescent Dyestuffs. Very few dyes are of use in making daylight-fluorescent products. Of the dyes discovered up to 1920, only the brilliant ted and salmon dyes of the rhodamine and rosamine classes ate used in fluorescent materials in the 1990s. The first of these, Rhodamine B, was discovered in 1877. Fluorescence excited by both uv and visible light components in daylight was formally recognized as a notable property of certain dyed fabrics by the 1920s (1). 

Xanthene Dyes. This class is best represented by Rhodamine B. It has high fluorescent brilliance but poor light and heat stabihty it may be used in phenohcs. Sulfo Rhodamine is stable and is useflil in nylon-6,6. Other xanthenes used in acryhcs, polystyrene, and rigid poly(vinyl chloride) are Solvent Green 4, Acid Red 52, Basic Red 1, and Solvent Orange 63 (see Xanthene dyes). 

Quantum Yields of Fluorescence. Table III lists the relative quantum yields of fluorescence of 24 3-substituted 2(lH)-pyridones. Pyridone I has the highest yield measured, which is set at 1.00. An attempt was made to measure the absolute quantum yield of I relative to rhodamine B using ferrloxalate actinometry. A Vpj value of 0.98 0.02 was obtained. However, the determination of absolute ... 

Quimtua Yields of Fluorescence Measurements. All of the quantum yields of fluorescence were measured by the relative fluorescence measurement technique of Parker and Rees (24). This method compares the fluorescence of the compound of interest to the fluorescence of some known compound. All of the fluorescence quantum yields were measured using I as a reference. Compound I had previously been measured by this same method using rhodamine B as a standard.

Rotational dynamics of a fluorescent dye adsorbed at the interface provides useful information concerning the rigidity of the microenvironment of liquid-liquid interfaee in terms of the interfacial viscosity. The rotational relaxation time of the rhodamine B dye was studied by time-resolved total internal reflection fluorescent anisotropy. In-plane... 

The rhodamine B-bound complex of Ir1 (387) shows only minor alterations in the absorption spectrum of bound rhodamine B as opposed to free dye however, its fluorescence is strongly quenched.626 Fluorescence is intense when the rhodamine dye is attached to an Ir111 center. The authors conclude that the excited-state quenching mechanism is via electron transfer. 

Fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra corrected for the instrumental sensitivity were measured with a spectrometer described previously (()). Corrected excitation spectra were obtained with constant excitation intensity controlled by a rhodamine B quantum counter. For phosphorescence polarization measurements the apparatus was set up in an "In Line" arrangement (j ) and equipped with a Glan-Thomson polarizer and a sheet polarizer (analyser) (10). 

Rhodamine B 67 is frequently used in the quantitative determination of DNA or RNA and fluorescent labeling for DNA [190-192]. This dye was assembled onto the surface of a quartz substrate by electrostatic interaction between the fluorescence reagent RB and y-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APES), and the Quartz/ APES/RB film was constructed (Fig. 1) [193].

Lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl hydrazine is soluble in DMF. The reagent may be dissolved in this solvent as a concentrated stock solution before adding a small aliquot to an aqueous reaction medium. The compound itself and all solutions made with it should be protected from light to avoid decomposition of its fluorescent properties. 

Texas Red hydrazide is a derivative of Texas Red sulfonyl chloride made by reaction with hydrazine (Invitrogen). The result is a sulfonyl hydrazine group on the No. 5 carbon position of the lower-ring structure of sulforhodamine 101. The intense Texas Red fluorophore has a QY that is inherently higher than either the tetramethylrhodamine or Lissamine rhodamine B derivatives of the basic rhodamine molecule. Texas Red s luminescence is shifted maximally into the red region of the spectrum, and its emission peak only minimally overlaps with that of fluorescein. This makes derivatives of this fluorescent probe among the best choices of labels for use in double-staining techniques. 

Similar results were obtained with the diperoxides 5 (R phenyl) and 5 a (R />-chlorophenyl) and dibenzanthrone or other fluorescers (perylene, rhodamine B, 9.10-diphenylanthracene, anthracene, fluorescein), with quantum yields of the respective chemiluminescence in the range 3.29 X 10 8.... 5.26 X 10 6. 

Leung et al. [ 104] and Kim and Zeitlin [105] described a method for the separation and determination of uranium in seawater. Thoric hydroxide (Th(OH)4) was used as a collector. The final uranium concentration was measured via the fluorescence (at 575 nm) of its Rhodamine B complex. The detection limit was about 200 jLg/l.
