Rhodamine metal complexes

Since the same dye molecules can serve as both donors and acceptors and the transfer efficiency depends on the spectral overlap between the emission spectrum of the donor and the absorption spectrum of the acceptor, this efficiency also depends on the Stokes shift [53]. Involvement of these effects depends strongly on the properties of the dye. Fluoresceins and rhodamines exhibit high homo-FRET efficiency and self-quenching pyrene and perylene derivatives, high homo-FRET but little self-quenching and luminescent metal complexes may not exhibit homo-FRET at all because of their very strong Stokes shifts. 

Fluorometric methods have been developed for determining the concentrations of more than 50 elements in the periodic table. These methods depend on the measurement of changes in the fluorescence intensity of a fluorescent dye on interaction with the species to be analysed. The concentration of the substance being analysed is proportional to the fluorescence intensity, determined from calibration curves. The interactions can take the form of ionic associates between a dye cation and a metal complex anion, e.g. AgBrj with a rhodamine cation, or alternatively with a fluorescent dye anion, e.g. fluorescein and a complex cation. In another method, the changes... 

Third, reaction products of acid azo dyes acid 1 1 metal-complex azo dyes, or 1 2 metal complex azo dyes without acid groups with organic bases or cationic dyes. Cyclohexylamine, dodecylamine, and sulfonium or phosphonium compounds serve as bases, and derivatives of the xanthene range (rhodamines) are mainly used as cationic dyes. Example C.I. Solvent Red 109 [53802-03-2] is composed of Solvent Yellow 19, 13900 1 [10343-55-2] (3) and Solvent Red 49, 45170 1 [81-88-9] (4). These dyes are saltlike compounds of a metal-complex azo dye acid and a base. 

Hall [61] as far back as 1937 first proposed intercellular diffusion. It has recently been clearly demonstrated by Feeder et al. [62] for metal complex dyes. Feeder has shown that a large cationic dye, rhodamine B (479Da) triphenyl pyrazine, a neutral molecule (311 Da) and the high-molecular-weight anionic oligomeric Synthappret BAP (>3,000Da) all penetrate hair through the intercellular route.

Figure 5 shows two typical core-shell structures (a) contains a metal core and a dye doped silica shell [30, 32, 33, 78-85] and (b) has a dye doped silica core and a metal shell [31, 34]. There is a spacer between the core and the shell to maintain the distance between the fluorophores and the metal to avoid fluorescence quenching [30, 32, 33, 78-80, 83]. Usually, the spacer is a silica layer in this type of nanostructures. Various Ag and Au nanomaterials in different shapes have been used for fluorescence enhancement. Occasionally, Pt and Au-Ag alloys are selected as the metal. A few fluorophores have been studied in these two core-shell structures including Cy3 [30], cascade yellow [78], carboxyfluorescein [78], Ru(bpy)32+ [31, 34], R6G [34], fluorescein isothiocyanate [79], Rhodamine 800 [32, 33], Alexa Fluor 647 [32], NIR 797 [82], dansylamide [84], oxazin 725 [85], and Eu3+ complexes [33, 83]. 

Sensors based on the fluorescence quenching ofrhodamine 6G in resins by iodide ions(43) and in Nafion polymer by metal ions in solution 44,45) have been demonstrated. However, complex fluorescence decay mechanisms often hinder interpretation in lifetime-based sensing and much progress is still to be made in this area before the true potential of lifetime-based sensing becomes a reality. For example, rhodamine 6G in...

Visible light sensitization of platinized Ti02 photocatalyst by surface-coated polymers derivatized with ruthenium tris(bipyridyl) complex has also been attempted [232,233]. Because the singlet excited state of these dyes is short lived it becomes essential to adsorb them on the semiconductor surface with...

Rare earth complexes have some advantages over organic fluorescent probes such as fluorescein, rhodamines, umbelliferones such as... 

It has been reported that y3-CD could improve the selectivity of the color reactions of various metal ions with triphenylmethane, xanthene acid dyes and some other coloring reagents. The effect of fi-CD on the association compound system of metal (Mo, Zn, Co)-thiocyanate basic dyes such as malachite green, crystal violet, rhodamine B, rhodamine 6G and butyhhodamine B, has been investigated and the result shows that /3-CD could contribute to a more sensitive and stable system which improve the solubility of the basic dyes and produce a favorable microenviromnent for the color reactions [63]. /3-CD could be employed to solubilize the 1,2-amino anthraquinone in water due to the formation of inclusion complex which acts as a ligand for metal ions could be used for the determination of palladium at trace levels by spectrophotometry. In the spectrophotometric determination of microamounts of Zn based on the Zn-dithizone color reaction, -CD could increase the apparent molar absorptivity at 538 nm by 8.37 times. In the presence of cr-CD, the determination sensitivity of copper in leaves based on the color reaction of Cu(II) and mesotetrakis (4-methoxy-3-sulfophenyl) porphyrin was enhanced by 50% in the spectrophotometric analysis [64,65].
