The lanthanide complexes have been anticipated to exhibit high efficiency along with a narrow emission spectrum. Photoluminescence for the lanthanide complex is characterized by a high efficiency since both singlet and triplet excitons are involve d in the luminescence process. However, the maximum external electroluminescence quantum efficiencies have exhibited values around 1% due to triplet-triplet annihilation at high current. Here, we proposed a new energy transfer mechanism to overcome triplet-triplet annihilation by the Eu complex doped into phosphorescent materials with triplet levels that were higher than singlet levels of the Eu complex. In order to show the feasibility of the proposed energy transfer mechanism and to obtain the optimal ligands and host material, we have calculated the effect depending on ligands as a factor that controls emission intensity in lanthanide complexes. The calculation shows that triplet state as well as singlet state of anion ligand affects on absorption efficiency indirectly.

다결정성 $La_{1/3}Sr_{2/3}FeO_{2.96}$에서의 전하불균형(charge disproportionation, CD) 전이의 근원에 대해 x선 회절법과 외부장 $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ 분광법을 이용하여 알아보았다. 전이온도 이상에서 외부 자기장에 의한 효과를 알아보기 위해 시료의 온도를 225K로 유지한 상태에서 6 T이하의 외부 자기장을 감마선의 진행방향에 대해 각각 수직과 수평으로 걸어주었다. 외부장이 없을 경우 평균원자가 $Fe^{3.6+}$에 기인하는 상자성 단일 흡수선이 나타났다. 자기장이 감마선의 방향과 평행할 경우, 면적비가 3:0:1:1:0:3인 자기적 Zeeman 스펙트럼이 중앙의 단일선(singlet)에 중첩되어 나타났다. 하지만 자기장이 감마선의 방향에 수직일 경우엔 중앙의 단일선은 사라지고 면적비 3:4:1:1:4:3인 6-선 스펙트럼만 나타나서 큰 이방성을 보였다. 외부장 하에서 단일 흡수선의 존재는 Fe 이온간의 전자의 재빠른 도약 현상으로 설명하였다. 외부장 하에서도 단일흡수선이 존재해, 자기장이 전자의 도약에 의한 전도메커니즘에 큰 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

목적: 대물부의 구성이 더블렛+메니스커스 렌즈를 가지는 3X 스코프 개발에 관한 것이다. 방법: 더블렛(doublet) + 단일렌즈(singlet)의 구성을 가지는 대물부를 초기조건으로 하여 대물부의 유한광선 수차와 스코프 전체 광학계의 유한광선 수차를 최소화하도록 스코프 광학계를 최적화하여 새로운 형태의 3X 스코프를 개발하였다. 결과: 대물부의 구성을 더블렛+단일렌즈로 두고 유한광선 수차를 최소화하도록 스코프 광학계를 최적화를 하였을 때 우리는 단일렌즈는 더블렛 방향으로 오목한 메니스커스 형태의 렌즈가 되며, 더블렛과 메니스커스 렌즈 사이의 거리가 멀수록 유한광선 수차는 더욱 최소화됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 우리는 3X 스코프의 대물부를 더블렛+메니스커스 렌즈 방식의 3매의 렌즈를 채택함으로서 기존의 스코프보다 유한광선 수차를 약 1/14로 줄일 수 있는 새로운 형태의 3X 스코프를 개발할 수 있었다. 이러한 수차량의 감소는 기존 스코프 보다 유효 구경을 크게 할 수 있으며 광학계의 길이를 짧게 할 수 있는 수단이 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Sugar-linked porphyrin and chlorin compounds have been synthesized. Phototoxicity of these compounds against the HeLa cell line was also examined. For the porphyrin derivatives, the higher activity was observed for a derivative having four OH-protected sugar moieties. For the chlorin derivatives, OH-unprotected free-base derivatives were generally effective. Singlet oxygen producing ability were examined to evaluate the activity on photodynamic therapy of the compounds.

We review work performed by our group and collaborators in the area of exciton formation. There are three components: (i) measurement of singlet fractions, (ii) analysis of magnetic resonance measurements, and (iii) models of exciton formation. We find that the fraction of singlet excitons is a controllable quantity, pointing the way to a new generation of all-fluorescent organic light emitting devices.

A thioamide, N-5-trifluoromethyl-6-methoxy-1-thionaphthoyl-N-m ethylglycine, undergoes trans${\rightleftharpoons}$cis photoisomerization around C-N bound in solution. Azulene quenching studies showed the photoisomerization to proceed via both singlet and triplet excited states.The total quantum yield of the trans${\rightarrow}$cis photoisomerization is about 0.26, 0.14 from the singlet excited state and 0.12 from the triplet excited state. Intersystem crossing and internal conversion quantum yields were calculated from sensitized photostationary state and a plausible mechanism is proposed.

The photophysical properties and the singlet oxygen generation efficiencies of meso-tetraphenyl-trithiasapphyrin $(S_3TPS)$ and meso-tetmkis(p-methoxy phenyl)-trithiasapphy rin ((p-MeO)-$S_3TPS$) have been investigated, utilizing steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods to elucidate the possibility of their use as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The observed photophysical properties were compared with those of other porphyrin-like photosensitizers in geometrical and electronic structural aspects, such as extended ${\pi}$ conjugation, structural distortion, and internal heavy atoms. The steady-state electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra were both red-shifted due to the extended ${\pi}$-conjugation. The fluorescence quantum yields were measured as very small. Even though intersystem crossing rates were expected to increase due to the increment of spin orbital coupling, the triplet quantum yields were measured as less than 0.15. Such characteristics can be ascribed to the more enhanced internal conversion rates compared with the intersystem crossing rates. Furthermore, the triplet state lifetimes were shortened to -1.0 ${\mu}s$ as expected. Therefore, the singlet oxygen quantum yields were estimated to be near zero due to the fast triplet state decay rates and the inefficient energy transfer to the oxygen molecule as well as the low triplet quantum yields. The low efficiencies of energy transfer to the oxygen molecule can be attributed to the lower oxidation potential and/or the energetically low lying triplet state. Such photophysical factors should be carefully evaluated as potential photosensitizers that have extended ${\pi}$-conjugation and heavy core atoms synthesized for red-shifted absorption and high triplet state quantum yields.

Constituents of several .representative seaweeds, such as wakame Undaria pinnatifida; hijikia Hizikia fusifome; and kombu Laminaria japonica, were found to have fairly large reaction rates determined by quenching experiments of emission spectra in the near-infrared region (1max: 1270 nm) from singlet oxygen (102). Emission spectra of singlet oxygen generated from an aqueous solution of Rose Bengal under irradiation with a green laser (330 nm) were measured by a near-infrared (NIR) emission spectrometer constructed in our laboratory. The quenching experiments were as follows: Intensities of emission spectra were measured in the absence (I0) and in the presence of the seaweed constituents (I): Ratios of I0/I were plotted against every concentration of the quenchers (Stern-Volmer plots) which gives a straight line. The slope of each line gives a kqt value which gives a quenching constant kq value (an antioxidative constant against singlet oxygen) when the t value (half-life time of singlet oxygen in the solvent used) was given. The determined reaction rates are between 103-105 (g/l)-ls-1; the larger ones are as large as that of ascorbic acid, 8.4 ${\times}$ 104 (g/1)-ls-1. Most of these seaweed constituents also showed antioxidative activity against auto-oxidation and superoxide as well as their immunological enhancing activity. These results suggest a possibility that dietary fibers which are supposed to prevent the large-intestine cancer by their physical properties may prevent the cancer, at least in parts, by their chemical, antioxidative activity.

In order to determine the specific active oxygen species directly related to chlorophyll bleaching in the leaf-burning disease, we investigated the effects of singlet oxygen (1O2), superoxide radical (O2-), and hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) on isolated chloroplast suspension and leaf discs from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. When the singlet oxygen was added to the chloroplast suspension, the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were decreased by more than 809), similar to treatment with high light intensity (100 KLux). We assumed that the conversion of dioxygen (O2) produced either in photolysis or in breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to singlet oxygen resulted from photorespiration. On the basis of these experiments , :he inhibitory effects of active oxygen scavengers propylgallic acid (PGA), 2,5-ditetrabutyl hydroquinon (DBH), sodium pyrosulfate (SPS), and ascorbic acid (ABS) were examined. In chloroplast suspension all four scavengers inhibited chlorophyll bleaching by more than 75fl , and in the leaf discs the inhibition rates of SPS, PGA and ABS were 46%, 51%, and 96% respectively.

With -$OCH_2CO$- as a linker, a non ${\beta}$-substituted cationic bisporphyrin (4a) and a ${\beta}$-substituted cationic bisporphyrin (4b) were prepared through methylation of the intermediate which was obtained from ${\beta}$-amino-5,10,15,20-tetra (4-cyanophenyl) porphyrin or 5-hydroxylphenyl-10,15,20-tris(4-cyanophenyl) reacting with 5-hydroxy-10,15,20-trispyridinylporphyrin. Their structures were confirmed by $^1H$ NMR, IR, UV-vis, MS and elemental analysis. DNA photocleavage ability and the singlet oxygen ability of those cationic bisporphyrins were investigated. DNA photocleavage activity of ${\beta}$-substituted cationic bisporphyrin was significantly weaker than that of $H_2TMPyP$, but similar to that of non ${\beta}$-substituted cationic bisporphyrin. While 4a and 4b showed substantial photocleavage activities toward DNA, with 68% and 66% observed at 10 ${\mu}M$. The assessment of indirectly measured $^1O_2$ production rates against $H_2TMPyP$ were described and the relative singlet oxygen production yields were: free cationic bisporphyrins > $H_2TMPyP$. The results showed the cationic bisporphyrins with ${\beta}$-substitution and non ${\beta}$-substitution could be developed as potential photodynamic agents.
