Size effect of silver nano particles on the photophysical properties of 2,3-bis(chloromethyl)anthracene-1,4,9,10-tetraone (BCMAT) have been investigated using optical absorption and fluorescence emission techniques. Silver NPs of different sizes have been prepared by two different methods. Quenching of fluorescence of BCMAT has been found to increase with decrease in the size of the silver NPs. Stern-Volmer quenching constants have also been calculated.
The vibrational assignments of the observed wavenumbers have been made by analyzing the infrared and Raman spectra of L-valinium picrate in the crystalline state at room temperature. L-Valinium acts as the cation of the crystal and the carbonyl C O group exists in the protonated form in it. Asymmetric deformation and symmetric deformation modes of the isopropyl group have been identified, indicating that the two CH 3 groups are in different environments. The stretching and bending modes of the various functional groups have been shifted owing to the extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the crystal. The symmetry of the picrate anion has not been modified in the crystal by the hydrogen bonding with the cation. Fermi resonance is also observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
