UV/vis and electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra provide tools to study the concentration and solvent dependence of this interaction. The aggregation spectra of the dye are dominated by a strongly blue-shifted, sharp and single visible band, which appears at concentrations much below the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of Aerosol-OT. Above the cmc, the spectra in pure aqueous solution indicate disso- ciation into monomer and dimer species, and the system becomes completely empty of chirality. Two different CD spectra with a distinct isosbestic point are observed for complexes with different surfactant to dye ratios. Both the addi- tion of ethanol (more than 7.5%) and increasing the temperature retards the metachromatic process between the dye and Aerosol-OT. By using the peakFit program, the two overlapping excitonic absorption bands together with the optically inactive absorption band for one spectrum (the most optimal one) at a specific Aerosol-OT concentration were sepa- rated.展开更多

Particularly, pinacyanol chloride and its charge transfer (CT) complexes with chloranil, DDQ, TCNQ and TCNE as organic acceptors are studied in details. The CT complexes are having neither two absorption edges like ternary complex having one donor and two acceptors nor binary type with Lorentzian or Gaussian envelopes. The forbidden gap is direct band gap except chloranil complex due to increase in molecular distance and CT interaction. There is imperfect nesting and partial screening determining the mid-IR envelope, which is qualitatively different from the envelopes in binary systems. There is inverted parabola in some range below this envelope. It is explained how infrared absorption is related with the applications of such organic photoconductors in optoelectronic devices.展开更多

Extensive hypochromism, appreciable peak shifts, isosbestic points and new peaks of the product of binding to nucleic acids in the spectra were observed. They showed that the interaction between PC and nucleic acids occurred. The results from absorption spectra of DNA, DNA melting, electrophoresis and fluorescence polarization studies have indicated that PC binds to DNA in nonintercalative way. Consistent with the nonintercalation, the studies of fluorescence titration and absorption titration specified that the binding of PC to nucleic acids occurred by an outside stacking binding, in which nucleic acids served for acting templates. The fact that the new absorption peaks of bound PC at ca. 485 nm are just close to the absorption bands of H aggregate of PC at high concentrations without DNA further supports the outside stacking binding mode. In addition, other evidence indicated that the interaction between PC and nucleic acids is not purely electrostatic.展开更多
