In recent years, our lab has been engaged in understanding the photophysics of small diacetylene bridged fluorophores and found the diynes as a promising class of π-conjugated fluorophores. Building on this understanding, recently we have focused on the photophysics of a less explored class of cross-conjugated Y-shaped enediynes (one double and two triple bonds). Here we present the photophysical properties of such enediynes which show interesting photophysical properties that include dual emissions from locally excited (LE) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states and ring size dependent aggregate fluorescence in non-aqueous media. The dyes also show prominent aggregate fluorescence in mixed-aqueous solvents and solid powder form. We further show that the solid state fluorescence can be reversibly switched multiple of cycles by external stimuli, highlighting their potential applications in solid states. The enediynes with push-pull electronic substituents/moieties exhibit high contrast fluorescence color switching upon continuous photon illumination. The intriguing photophysical outcomes of the enediynyl fluorophores are judiciously exploited to generate single-component white light emission in binary solvent mixtures and sense polar aprotic vapor in polymer film matrices. The photophysical behavior of the dyes is further successfully utilized to monitor the microenvironment changes of biologically relevant anisotropic media such as bile salts. In summary, the newly introduced cross-conjugated enediynes enrich the toolbox of organic fluorophores and vouch to display versatile applications. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=aggregation%20in%20solution%20and%20solid%20state" title="aggregation in solution and solid state">aggregation in solution and solid state</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=enediynes" title=" enediynes"> enediynes</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=physical%20photochemistry%20and%20photophysics" title=" physical photochemistry and photophysics"> physical photochemistry and photophysics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=vapor%20sensing%20and%20white%20light%20emission" title=" vapor sensing and white light emission"> vapor sensing and white light emission</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/110063/photophysics-and-photochemistry-of-cross-conjugated-y-shaped-enediyne-fluorophores" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/110063.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">480</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">5</span> Application of Magnetic-Nano Photocatalyst for Removal of Xenobiotic Compounds</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Prashant%20K.%20Sharma">Prashant K.

In the current era where large quantities of various xenobiotic compounds are released in the environment some of which are highly toxic are being used routinely by industries and consumers. Extensive use of these chemicals provides greater risk to plants, animals and human population which has been reviewed from time to time. Apart from the biological degradation, photochemical removal holds considerable promise for the abatement of these pesticides in wastewaters. This paper reviews the photochemical removal of xenobiotic compounds. It is evident from the review that removal depends on several factors such as pH of the solution, catalysts loading, initial concentration, light intensity and so on and so forth. Since the xenobiotics are ubiquitously present in the wastewaters, photochemical technology seems imperative to alleviate the pollution problems associated with the xenobiotics. However, commercial application of this technology has to be clearly assessed. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=magnetic" title="magnetic">magnetic</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=nanoparticles" title=" nanoparticles"> nanoparticles</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=photocatalayst" title=" photocatalayst"> photocatalayst</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=xenobiotic%20compounds" title=" xenobiotic compounds"> xenobiotic compounds</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/83188/application-of-magnetic-nano-photocatalyst-for-removal-of-xenobiotic-compounds" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/83188.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">376</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">4</span> Elucidation of the Photoreactivity of 2-Hydroxychalcones and the Effect of Continuous Photoflow Method on the Photoreactivity</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Sobiya%20George">Sobiya George</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Anna%20Dora%20Gudmundsdottir"> Anna Dora Gudmundsdottir</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> The 2-hydroxychalcones form an important group of organic compounds not only because of their pharmacological properties but also because they are intermediates in the biosynthesis of flavanones. We studied the photoreactivity of 2-hydroxychalcone derivatives in aprotic solvent acetonitrile and found that their photochemistry is concentration-dependent. Irradiation of 2-hydroxychalcone derivatives with 365 nm light emitting diode (LED) in dilute concentration selectively forms flavanones, whereas, at higher concentrations, an additional photoproduct is observed. However, the application of the continuous photo-flow method resulted in the selective formation of flavanones even at higher concentrations. To understand the reaction mechanism and explain the concentration-dependent photoreactivity of 2-hydroxychalcones, we preformed trapping studies with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane, nanosecond laser flash photolysis, and time dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=flavanones" title="flavanones">flavanones</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=hydroxychalcones" title=" hydroxychalcones"> hydroxychalcones</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=laser%20flash%20photolysis" title=" laser flash photolysis"> laser flash photolysis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=TD-DFT%20calculations" title=" TD-DFT calculations"> TD-DFT calculations</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/125039/elucidation-of-the-photoreactivity-of-2-hydroxychalcones-and-the-effect-of-continuous-photoflow-method-on-the-photoreactivity" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/125039.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">149</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">3</span> Elaboration of Sustainable Luminescence Material Based on Rare Earth Complexes for Solar Energy Conversion</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Othmane%20Essahili">Othmane Essahili</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Mohamed%20Ilsouk"> Mohamed Ilsouk</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Carine%20Duhayon"> Carine Duhayon</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Omar%20Moudam"> Omar Moudam</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Due to their excellent and promising properties, a great deal of attention has recently been devoted to luminescent materials, particularly those utilizing rare earth elements. These materials play an essential role in low-cost energy conversion technology applications, such as luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). They also have potential applications in Agri-PV systems and smart building windows. Luminescent materials based on europium (III) complexes are known for their high luminescence efficiency, long fluorescence lifetimes, and sharp emission bands. However, they present certain drawbacks related to their limited absorption capacity due to the forbidden 4f-4f electronic transitions. To address these drawbacks, using β-diketonate ligands as sensitizers appears as a promising solution to enhance luminescence intensity through the antenna effect, where the ligand's excited energy is transferred to the europium ions. In this study, we synthesized β-diketonate-based europium complexes with phenanthroline derivatives, modified with various methyl groups, to examine their effects on the complexes' stability in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films. Our findings reveal that these complexes exhibit remarkable red emission and high photoluminescence quantum yield. Stability tests under different conditions for 1200 hours showed that complexes with a higher number of methyl substitutions offer improved photoluminescent stability and resistance to degradation, particularly in outdoor settings. This research underscores the potential of chemically tuned phenanthroline ligands in developing stable, efficient luminescent materials for future optoelectronic devices, including efficient and durable LSCs. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=luminescent%20materials" title="luminescent materials">luminescent materials</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=photochemistry" title=" photochemistry"> photochemistry</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=luminescent%20solar%20concentrators" title=" luminescent solar concentrators"> luminescent solar concentrators</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=%CE%B2-diketonate-based%20europium%20complexes" title=" β-diketonate-based europium complexes"> β-diketonate-based europium complexes</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/183297/elaboration-of-sustainable-luminescence-material-based-on-rare-earth-complexes-for-solar-energy-conversion" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/183297.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">63</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">2</span> 2,7-Diazaindole as a Photophysical Probe for Excited State Hydrogen/Proton Transfer</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Simran%20Baweja">Simran Baweja</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Bhavika%20Kalal"> Bhavika Kalal</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Surajit%20Maity"> Surajit Maity</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Photoinduced tautomerization reactions have been the centre of attention among the scientific community over the past several decades because of their significance in various biological systems. 7-azaindole (7AI) is considered a model system for DNA base pairing and to understand the role of such tautomerization reactions in mutations. To the best of our knowledge, extensive studies have been carried out on 7-azaindole and its solvent clusters exhibiting proton/ hydrogen transfer in both solution as well as gas phases. Derivatives of the above molecule, like 2,7- and 2,6-diazaindoles are proposed to have even better photophysical properties due to the presence of -aza group on the 2nd position. However, there are studies in the solution phase that suggest the relevance of these molecules, but there are no experimental studies reported in the gas phase yet. In our current investigation, we present the first gas phase spectroscopic data of 2,7-diazaindole (2,7-DAI) and its solvent cluster (2,7-DAI-H2O). In this, we have employed state-of-the-art laser spectroscopic methods such as fluorescence excitation (LIF), dispersed fluorescence (DF), resonant two-photon ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (2C-R2PI), photoionization efficiency spectroscopy (PIE), IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy, i.e., fluorescence-dip infrared spectroscopy (FDIR) and resonant ion-dip infrared spectroscopy (IDIR) to understand the electronic structure of the molecule. The origin band corresponding to the S1 ← S0 transition of the bare 2,7-DAI is found to be positioned at 33910 cm-1, whereas the origin band corresponding to S1 ← S0 transition of the 2,7-DAI-H2O is positioned at 33074 cm-1. The red-shifted transition in the case of solvent cluster suggests the enhanced feasibility of excited state hydrogen/ proton transfer. The ionization potential for the 2,7-DAI molecule is found to be 8.92 eV which is significantly higher than the previously reported 7AI (8.11 eV) molecule, making it a comparatively complex molecule to study. The ionization potential is reduced by 0.14 eV in the case of 2,7-DAI-H2O (8.78 eV) cluster compared to that of 2,7-DAI. Moreover, on comparison with the available literature values of 7AI, we found the origin band of 2,7-DAI and 2,7-DAI-H2O to be red-shifted by -729 and -280 cm-1 respectively. The ground and excited state N-H stretching frequencies of the 27DAI molecule were determined using fluorescence-dip infrared spectra (FDIR) and resonant ion dip infrared spectroscopy (IDIR), obtained at 3523 and 3467 cm-1, respectively. The lower value of vNH in the electronically excited state of 27DAI implies the higher acidity of the group compared to the ground state. Moreover, we have done extensive computational analysis, which suggests that the energy barrier in the excited state reduces significantly as we increase the number of catalytic solvent molecules (S= H2O, NH3) as well as the polarity of solvent molecules. We found that the ammonia molecule is a better candidate for hydrogen transfer compared to water because of its higher gas-phase basicity. Further studies are underway to understand the excited state dynamics and photochemistry of such N-rich chromophores. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=excited%20state%20hydrogen%20transfer" title="excited state hydrogen transfer">excited state hydrogen transfer</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=supersonic%20expansion" title=" supersonic expansion"> supersonic expansion</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=gas%20phase%20spectroscopy" title=" gas phase spectroscopy"> gas phase spectroscopy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=IR-UV%20double%20resonance%20spectroscopy" title=" IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy"> IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=laser%20induced%20fluorescence" title=" laser induced fluorescence"> laser induced fluorescence</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=photoionization%20efficiency%20spectroscopy" title=" photoionization efficiency spectroscopy"> photoionization efficiency spectroscopy</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/171374/27-diazaindole-as-a-photophysical-probe-for-excited-state-hydrogenproton-transfer" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/171374.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">75</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">1</span> 2,7-diazaindole as a Potential Photophysical Probe for Excited State Deactivation Processes</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Simran%20Baweja">Simran Baweja</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Bhavika%20Kalal"> Bhavika Kalal</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Surajit%20Maity"> Surajit Maity</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Photoinduced tautomerization reactions have been the centre of attention among scientific community over past several decades because of their significance in various biological systems. 7-azaindole (7AI) is considered as a model system for DNA base pairing and to understand the role of such tautomerization reactions in mutations.
