Stilbene-labeled

Studies of solvent polar effects on the fluorescence spectrum of immobilized stilbenes indicated that the maximum wavelength of the fluorescence emission is not very sensitive to solvent polarity. The apparent local polarity of the medium in the vicinity of the stilbene label was estimated. The trans-cis photoisomerization kinetics of the stilbene derivatives in the immobilized and free state in a medium with different viscosity was monitored by fluorescence technique at constant illumination conditions. Investigation of the microviscosity effect on the photoisomerization of the immobilized and free stilbene label was carried out by changing the relative concentration of glycerin in a glycerin-water mixture used as a solvent. With an appropriate calibration, the microviscosity in the vicinity of the stilbene label was estimated. The apparent photoisomerization rate constant of the process was found to be 3-4 times less for the immobilized label than in a free state. 

A fiuorescent-photochrome method of quantifying the orientation of solid-phase antibodies immobilized on a silica plate was proposed [9]. The method is based on the measurement of fiuorescence quenching by a quencher in solution, rates of trans-cis photoisomerization and photodestruction of a stilbene-labeled hapten in an antibody binding site. These experimental parameters enable a quantitative description of the order of binding sites of antibodies immobilized on a surface and can be used to characterize the micro viscosity and steric hindrance in the vicinity of the binding site. Furthermore, a theoretical method for the determination of the depth of immersion of the fiuorescent label in a two-phase system was developed [9].

The excited-state behavior of 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethene (TPE) has been studied by means of picosecond fluorescence, absorption, and Raman spectroscopies and picosecond optical calorimetry. It has been shown that, like stilbene, TPE derivatives substituted with minimally perturbing stereochemical labels such as methyl groups undergo efficient photoisomerization. However, unlike stilbene, strong spectroscopic evidence exists for the direct detection of the twisted excited singlet state, 5ip herein but traditionally designated as of TPE. 

Immunochemical methods that utilize radioisotopic labeling can detect the use of anabolic sex hormones that increase the growth in meat animals. Stilbene [588-59-0], C14H12, trenbolone [10161-33-8], and zeranol [55331-29-8], C18H2605, can be successfully monitored by these immunoassay techniques (45). In order to prevent veterinary dmgs from being transported to the human food chain, radioisotopic immunoassays were developed to monitor veterinary antibiotics such as penicillin and chloramphenicol [56-75-7], C H CyX C, in meat, milk, and eggs (qv) (see Antibiotics Meat products Milk AND MILKPRODUCTS). 

The stilbene was labelled with tritium since its low concentrations and chemical similarity with styrene precluded normal chemical or physical analysis. From this study it was concluded that head to head structures are not weak links.

An additional step in the cascade reaction scheme is the quenching of the sensitizer triplet state with relatively low-concentration radicals (Fig. 1.5) (Papper et al 1999, 2000 Papper and Likhtenshtein, 2001). The entire investigated reaction that is shown in Fig. 1.5 is the sequence of the four kinetic processes and serves as a basis for the spin-triplet-photochrome labeling technique. This technique combines the three types of biophysical probes stilbene photochrome probe, triplet probe and stable nitroxide-radical spin probe, which depresses the sensitiser exited triplet state. 

The photochemical reactions of some a-arylvinyl bromides (31), in acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate and tetraethylammonium bromide (labeled with 8zBr) give nucleophilic substitution, reductive debromination, cis-stilbene photocyclization, and oxidation as the primary pathways to product... 

Deuterium labelling studies have also been used to investigate the reaction of stilbenes and related compounds with amines (Lewis, 1979). It is known that tertiary amines form fluorescent exciplexes with stilbenes in nonpolar solvents and that polar solvents are necessary for chemical reaction to occur (Lewis and Ho, 1977). This suggests that radical ions are involved in product formation. When secondary amines are used, reaction occurs in solvents of widely differing polarity and this is presumably due to the acidity of the secondary N—H bond. N-deuteriated diethylamine reacts with 1,2-diphenyl-cyclobutene in benzene to give products [65], [66] and [67] incorporating deuterium (Scheme 6). For the reaction with unsymmetrically substituted...
