Oil-related products have provided many benefits to humanity, but are significant contributors to environmental pollution. As per the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements, in the future, all ships must be equipped with filtering equipment and 5ppm bilge alarms that can help remove or reduce oil products during wastewater treatment. In this study, a UV fluorescence measurement system that can detect the oil components in wastewater containing both water and oil was developed. When an excitation wavelength of 254nm was used to irradiate the wastewater, the amount of UV at a divergent wavelength of 360nm was measured to measure the contamination. Based on the measurement, it was concluded that this system is suitable for use as the 5ppm bilge alarm proposed by IMO.

The analysis of trace herbicides using the on-line SPE-HPLC system and a photochemical reaction was studied. 18 compounds of herbicides including eight triazines, six phenoxy acids and esters, and four other herbicides were examined. The on-line SPE-HPLC system developed for selection of eluting solvent improved chromatographic efficiency. The recoveries of herbicides were higher than 77%. With 100 mL tap water samples, the detection limits for all analytes were in the 0.1-2.3×10-10 M range. Detection was done by a UV or fluorescence spectrometer after photochemical reaction at the end of the column with 2W or 450W mercury lamp. Without a photochemical reaction, all compounds responded to 230 nm UV detector, but phenoxy acids and esters were weakly detected. However, with a photochemical reaction, these compounds were selectively detected at 320 nm wavelength of UV absorption and 400 nm emission of the fluorescence detectors. This method can be used for the analysis of environmental water containing herbicides at trace levels.

Benzene solution of trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene and electron deficient olefin, tetracyanoethylene, as a ${\pi}$-acceptor gave 1,2-bispyrazyl-3,3,4,4-tetracyanocyclobutane, a 2${\pi}$ + 2${\pi}$ cycloaddition product, on irradiation with 350 nm UV light. Fluorescence studies revealed the reaction to proceed through a singlet exciplex. The fluorescence of trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene was quenched very efficiently by tetracyanoethylene with the quenching constant of 1.6 ${\times}$ 10$^{10}$M$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ while electron rich olefin, tetramethylethylene, did not quench the fluorescence of bispyrazylethylene.

Detection method was developed using a simply designed photochemical reactor made of teflon coil and low pressure mercury lamp. This method of UV photolysis of analytes followed by UV, fluorescence and electrochemical detection was found to be useful for four thiocarbamates. Analytes eluting from the column are irradiated with a high flux of 254 nm UV light, so that they change to either fluorescent active forms or highly electrochemically sensitive products. Appling this technique to the UV detection, thiocarbamates were converted into long wavelength absorbing products upon UV irradiation. In fluorescence detector four thiocarbamates are not detected at nonirradiated condition but fluorescence signals of MPTC, CPTC photolysates are appeared after irradiation with UV light. The electrochemical detection for the determination of thiocarbamates was enhanced up to 5∼20 fold signal after UV irradiation, compared to that of the nonirradiated. The detection limit of thiocarbamates on electrochemical detector was 13.3∼0.02 ng under pH 7.0, ionic strength $0.5{\times}10^{-2}$ M, phosphate buffer solution. Adducts produced by reaction of photolysates and OPA-MERC in the reaction coil were monitored at 425 nm with fluorescence detector, and one of the photolysates was primary amine.

A polymeric photobase generator containing oxime-urethane groups is applied to a fluorescence micropatterning material. Polymer bearing oxime-urethane groups was prepared by copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with methacryloyloxyethyl benzophenoneoxime urethane (MBU). The reaction of amino groups in the irradiated copolymer film with dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) was monitored by using UV absorption, IR absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectrum of the Dns-Cl-treated irradiated copolymer film shows a strong fluorescence with a fluorescence maximum wavelength at 510 nm. A blue fluorescent micropattern with a line width of $2{\sim}3{\mu}m$ was obtained. Treatment of the irradiated copolymer film with Dns-Cl and rhodamine B mixture led to the formation of green, red, and orange-colored fluorescence micropatterns. Thus, various colored micropatterns on a single polymer film can be obtained by selective excitation of each dye molecules.

The opto-functional materials have been developed as a promising research topic toward the end uses for optical materials and applications. The attractive area in this part was the design of sensor molecules for detecting harmful environmental factors. These harmful factors impart undesired effects on wide range of chemical and biological phenomenon. In this context, many researchers have studied luminescence chemosensor materials. These sensor molecules showed optical signals such as color or fluorescence change by detecting harmful environmental factors. In this study, the novel fluorescence chemosensor 1 has been designed and synthesized through reaction of rhodamine 6g hydrazide and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde. The chemosensor 1 had been analyzed by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometer. We found that this chemosensor 1 has 'off-on' and dual type sensing properties toward $Cu^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$.

ZnS is well-known direct band gap II-VI semiconductor, and it attracts intense interest due to its excellent properties of luminescence which enable ZnS to have promising materials for optical, photonic and electronic devices. Especially, the emission wavelength of ZnS falls in the UV absorption band of most organic compoundsand biomolecules, thus it is envisaged that ZnS based devices may find applications in increasingly important fluorescence sensing. We have developed a facile and effective one-step process for the fabrication of single-crystalline and pure-wurtzite ZnS nanostructures possessing sharp band-edge emission at room-temperature having diverse length-to-width ratios. Each of nanostructures was composed of chemically pure, structurally uniform, single-crystalline, and defect-free ZnS. These features not only suppress trap or surface states emission centered at 420 nm, but also enhance UV band-edge emission centered at 327 nm, which give as-synthesized our ZnS nanostructures possible sharp UV emission at room temperature. The reaction medium consisting of mixed solvents such as hydrazine, ethylenediamine, and water as well as proper reaction time and temperature have played an important role in the crystallinity and optical properties of ZnS nanostructures. As-synthesized our ZnS nanostructures possessing sharp UV emission guarantee high potential for both fundamental research and technological applications.

Rhodamine dyes belong to xanthene family has excellent photostability and photophysical properties. In rhodamine dyes, Rhodamine 6G and its precursors also have xanthene chromophore and it shows high fluorescent quantum yield. Rhodamine 6G derivates are simple to synthesis and its high sensitivity and water solubility are suitable as good chemosensor. In this regard, Rhodamine 6G derivates which have selectivity to specific metal cation can used to detect various heavy metal ions. In this study, rhodamine 6G derivatives were synthesized by reaction of rhodamine 6G hydrazide and glyoxal and 4-phenyl thiosemicarbazide and it showed colorimetric and fluorescence sensing toward $Hg^{2+}$ ion. This novel chemosensor was analyzed and measured on UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometer. HOMO/LUMO values were also calculated by computational calculation.

Photoionization processes of TMPD in $H_2O$ and $D_2O$ were studied, by measuring steady-state absorption, emission, fluorescence excitation spectra, and fluorescence lifetimes on picosecond time scale. The steady-state absorption spectra showed that there exists a cation-ion pair (Wurster's Blue) in $H_2O$ and in $D_2O$ in the electronic ground state. Temperature and excitation wavelength dependence were also studied and the results show that the photoionization reaction in water is an activated process and the fluorescence lifetime is independent of the vibrational excess energy in the uv excitation range of 283-310 nm.
