Novel approach for the determination of azithromycin in pharmaceutical formulations by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in film-through transm…
2013
Abstract This work reports the development of a new method for the determination of azithromycin in pharmaceutical formulations employing Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) technique. The measurements were performed using a novel approach based on a film-through transmission mode. Several variables that could influence the analytical performance of the method were evaluated (solvent, nominal resolution, number of scans, mode of measurement and spectral region selected for measurement). Acetonitrile was the best solvent for the determination of azithromycin, employing the absorption band of the C O group at 1729 cm− 1. The extraction of azithromycin from the formulations was made by mechanica…
Addressing subphthalocyanines and subnaphthalocyanines features relevant to fluorescence imaging
2018
International audience; A series of new synthetic subphthalocyanines bear structural features aimed at allowing either fluorescence activation or a bathochromic shift of the absorption band towards the near-infrared window, relevant to optical imaging. X-ray diffraction studies of four subphthalocyanines are reported. Spectrofluorimetric studies on subnaphthalocyanines and activatable subphthalocyanine pro-fluorophores are reported.
<title>Coumarin fluorescent probes by electro-optical and laser spectrofluorimetry methods</title>
1997
Modified electro-optical absorption and emission methods were used to measure the dipole moments of six coumarin fluorescent probes (CU1, CU4, CU7, CU30, CU120, CU334) in the equilibrated ground, excited Franck-Condon and equilibrated excited states. The measurements were performed in cyclohexane and dioxane at room temperature. The equilibrated ground and excited states dipole measured by electro-optical methods are compared with those derived from other measurements techniques and from semiempirical calculations. Experiments and calculations performed in this work reveal a set of anomalous and interesting properties of CU7 and CU30 in solutions. The spectral dependence of some electro-opt…
Elongated push–pull diphenylpolyenes for nonlinear optics: molecular engineering of quadratic and cubic optical nonlinearities via tuning of intramol…
1999
Abstract Push–pull polyenes are of particular interest for nonlinear optics (NLO) as well as model compounds for long-distance intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). In order to tune the ICT phenomenon and control the linear and nonlinear optical properties, we have synthesized and investigated several series of soluble push–pull diphenylpolyenes of increasing length and having various donor (D) and acceptor (A) end groups. Their linear and NLO properties have been studied by performing electro-optical absorption measurements (EOAM) and third-harmonic generation (THG) experiments in solution. Each push–pull molecule exhibits an intense ICT absorption band in the visible characterized by an i…

Neutron irradiation defects in gallium sulfide: Optical absorption measurements
1997
Gallium sulfide single crystals have been irradiated with different thermal neutron doses. Defects introduced by neutron irradiation turn out to be optically active, giving rise to absorption bands with energies ranging from 1.2 to 3.2 eV. Bands lying in the band-gap exhibit Gaussian shape. Their energies and widths are independent of the irradiation dose, but their intensities are proportional to it. Thermal annealing is completed in two stages, ending at around 500 and 720 K, respectively. Centers responsible for the absorption bands are proposed to be gallium-vacancy-galliuminterstitial complexes in which the distance between the vacancy (acceptor) and the interstitial (donor) determines…
Transient and near‐edge absorption in YVO 4 crystals
2007
The process of near-edge absorption annealing in air was studied up to 1500C in YVO4. In this annealing process, two stages with activation energies of 0.16 eV and 0.38 eV were obtained. (Should combine to make this one paragraph)In addition to the annealing study, the transient absorption induced by pulsed electron beam excitation (270 keV, 8 ns) was completed on a set of YVO4 samples with different near-edge absorption levels in the spectral region 3.2-3.5 eV. The spectral range from ∼1.25 eV up to 3.0 eV is covered by strong transient absorption. Transient absorption spectra show at least three broad overlapping bands (∼1.3 eV, ∼2.0 eV and ∼3.0 eV). The 3 eV peak position is close to the…
Brown and green LAI mapping through spectral indices
2015
Abstract When crops senescence, leaves remain until they fall off or are harvested. Hence, leaf area index (LAI) stays high even when chlorophyll content degrades to zero. Current LAI approaches from remote sensing techniques are not optimized for estimating LAI of senescent vegetation. In this paper a two-step approach has been proposed to realize simultaneous LAI mapping over green and senescent croplands. The first step separates green from brown LAI by means of a newly proposed index, ‘Green Brown Vegetation Index (GBVI)’. This index exploits two shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectral bands centred at 2100 and 2000 nm, which fall right in the dry matter absorption regions, thereby providing…
Local dynamic properties of the heme pocket in native and solvent-induced molten-globule-like states of cytochrome c
2002
We report the Soret absorption band, down to cryogenic temperature, of native and molten-globule-like state of horse heart cytochrome c. The band profile is analyzed in terms of vibronic coupling of the heme normal modes to the electronic transition in the framework of the Franck-Condon approximation. From the temperature dependence of the Gaussian broadening and of the peak position, we obtain information on the 'bath' of low frequency harmonic motions of the heme group within the heme pocket. The reported data indicate that, compared to the native state, the less rigid tertiary structure of the molten globule is reflected in a higher flexibility of the heme pocket and in greater conformat…
Hole burning and pressure phenomena in chromoproteins
1993
Abstract We investigated the behavior of spectral holes under pressure at various frequencies within the inhomogeneous band for two proteins, namely myoglobin and horseradish peroxidase. In order to achieve narrow bandwidth hole burning, the heme chromophore was replaced by protoporphyrin IX and mesoporphyrin IX, respectively. In myoglobin, we found that the pressure induced shift of the holes varied in a strongly non-linear fashion, when the burn-frequency was tuned across the absorption band. In horseradish peroxidase the pressure shift was linear with burn-frequency but changed in a dramatic fashion upon complex formation with a substrate molecule. These observations are interpreted with…
