In the present work, results of investigations into the transient absorption of some organic compounds by the method of pulsed flash photolysis are given. Experimental investigations were carried out using an original setup of pulsed flash photolysis with an exciting pulse of XeCl-laser radiation of nanosecond duration and sensing by broadband laser-transient fluorescent radiation of a mixture of organic fluorophors called "white light" excited by the same source in the wavelength range 330-750 nm. The setup registers the short-living (singlet-singlet) and long-living (triplet-triplet) absorptions. The transient absorption spectra of already investigated para-terphenyl, naphthalene, and 1-phenyl-2(2-naphthyl)-ethylene molecules are presented; the spectra of the transient absorption and its nature are in good agreement with the experimental and calculated data published in the literature. We first investigated the transient absorption of LOC1 (S 1 -S n at 580 nm and T 1 -T n at 500 nm) and phenalemine 512 (S 1 -S n at 395 nm). It is demonstrated that the experimentally observed induced absorption of phenalemine 512 and PD 789 is the S 1 -S n absorption, which is in good agreement with the results of quantum-chemical calculations.
New zinc and magnesium complexes of N-(2-carboxyphenyl)salicylidenimine) were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and X-ray single-crystal analysis. These complexes exhibit tuneable luminescence in the solid state from blue to green by varying by metal ion and composition. Moreover, the quantum yields range from 0.11 to 0.41, while lifetimes were determined to be in the nanosecond timescale. Thermal analysis shows that these complexes exhibit good thermal stability and can therefore well be used as electroluminescent materials.
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.
