The self-assembly of one novel organic complex based on chlorogenic acid (HCA) and 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) has been synthesized and characterized. The complex achieved by hydrogen-bonding interactions, adopted a 1:1 stoichiometry in a solid state. The proton transfer occurred from the carboxyl oxygen to the aromatic nitrogen atom to form salts CA${\cdot}$(2,2'-Hbipy), the 2,2'-Hbipy molecule individually occupies the pseudo-tetragonum that is formed with CA. In this paper, the interactions of CA${\cdot}$(2,2'-Hbipy) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by fluorescence spectrometry. For CA${\cdot}$(2,2'-Hbipy), HCA and 2,2'-bipy, the average quenching constants for BSA were $2.4384{\times}10^4$, $4.653{\times}10^3$, and $3.059{\times}10^3\;L{\cdot}mol^{-1}$, respectively. The mechanism for protein fluorescence quenching is apparently governed by a static quenching process. The Stern-Volmer quenching constants and corresponding thermodynamic parameters ${\Delta}$H, ${\Delta}$G and ${\Delta}$S were calculated. The binding constants and the number of binding sites were also investigated. The conformational changes of BSA were observed from synchronous fluorescence spectra.

We demonstrate that high-resolution (~60 nm) near-field fluorescence images of fluorescent nanospheres can be obtained by utilizing the tip-induced fluorescence quenching process. A time-stamped photon counting (TSPC) technique employed enables us to efficiently measure the degree of fluorescence quenching caused by the dielectric or metallic atomic force microscopy tip. We find that the degree of quenching is not only determined by the tip-material but also by the local morphology of the tip. The fringe patterns around individual nanospheres observed are explained in terms of the interference between the excitation field that is directly induced by the laser source, and the scattered excitation field from the tip.

여러 가지 용매에서 N,N-dimethylaniline에 의한 coumarin 153과 coumarin 481분자의 형광소광효과를 조사하였다. 소광속도상수와 분자의 확산속도상수간의 관계로부터 소광과정이 분자의 확산과 어느정도 상호연관성을 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다. slip boundary조건 보다stick boundary 조건을 적용하였을 때 분자확산 속도상수와 실험적인 소광속도상수와의 차이가 작게 나타났다. cyclohexane 과 같은 비극성용매에서의 소광속도 상수는 이론적인 확산속도상수 값과 오차범위 내에서 거의 일치하였으나 acetonitrile과 같은 극성용매에서는 소광속도상수는 확산속도상수보다 일관되게 작게 나타났다. 이것은 coumarin 분자의 형광소광이 분자간 확산에 의한 충돌 뿐만 아니라 분자내 전하분리와 같은 과정에 의해서도 진행되는 것으로 해석할 수 있다.

Quorum quenching (QQ) with a microbial vessel has recently been reported as an economically feasible biofouling control platform in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) for wastewater treatment. In this study, a quorum quenching MBR with a ceramic microbial vessel (CMV) was designed to overcome the extremely low F/M ratio inside a microbial vessel. The CMV was prepared with a monolithic ceramic microporous membrane and AHL-degrading QQ bacteria, Pseudomonas sp. 1A1. The "inner flow feeding mode" was introduced, under which fresh feed was supplied to the MBR only through the center lumen in the CMV. The inner flow feeding mode facilitated nutrient transport to QQ bacteria in the CMV and thus enabled relatively long-term maintenance of cell viability. The quorum quenching effect of the CMV on controlling membrane biofouling in the MBR was more pronounced with the inner flow feeding mode, which was identified by the slower increase in the transmembrane pressure as well as by the visual observation of a biocake that formed on the used membrane surface. In the QQ MBR with the CMV, the concentrations of extracellular polymeric substances were substantially decreased in the biocake on the membrane surface compared with those in the conventional MBR. The CMV also showed its potential with effective biofouling control over long-term operation of the QQ MBR.

Emission quenching of photoexcited tris(${\alpha},{\alpha} '$-diimine)-ruthenium(II) complex cations, $RuL_3^{2+}$ (L: 2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine; 4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine; 1,10-phenanthroline; 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline; 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline or 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) by $Cu^{2+}$, dimethylviologen $(MV^{2+})$, nitrobenzene (NB), and oxygen was studied in aqueous homogeneous and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solutions. The apparent bimolecular quenching rate constants $k_q$ were determined from the quenching data and life-times of $^{\ast}RuL_3^{2+}$. In homogeneous media, the quenching rate was considerably slower than that for the diffusion-controlled reaction. The decreasing order of quenching activity of quenchers was $NB>O_2>MV^{2+}>Cu^{2+}$. The rate with $Cu^{2+}$ was faster as the reducing power of $^{\ast}RuL_3^{2+}$ is greater. On the other hand, the rates with NB and $O_2$ were faster as the ligand is more hydrophobic. This was attributed to the stabilization of encounter pair by van der Waals force. The presence of SDS enhanced the rate of quenching reactions with $Cu^{2+}$ and $MV^{2+}$, whereas it attenuated the quenching activity of NB and $O_2$ toward $RuL_3^{2+}$. The binding affinity of quenchers to SDS micelle and binding sites of the quenchers and $RuL_3^{2+}$ in micelle appear to be important factors controlling the micellar effect on the quenching reactions.

Effects of light intensity on the steady-state fluorescence quenching kinetics are examined for general cases where the bimolecular quenching can occur via long-range energy transfer processes and the potential of mean force between the energy donor and acceptor molecules is not negligible. Approximate analytic expressions are derived for the steady-state quenching rate constant and for the ratio of the steady-state intensity of unquenched to quenched fluorescence. The analytic results are compared with the exact results obtained from numerical analysis and the results of conventional theories.

Luminescence quenching reactions of photoexcited tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium (Ⅱ) complex cation, $Ru(bpy)_3\;^{2+}$, by dialkylviologens (dimethyl, dioctyl, dibenzyl, methyloctyl, methyldodecyl, and methylbenzyl) were studied in sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS), and poly(vinylsulfonate) (PVS) solutions. The relative quenching rate varies widely with the microheterogeneous media employed: the highest quenching rate is observed for methyldodecylviologen in homogeneous aqueous medium, dibenzylviologen in SDS and PVS solutions, and dimethylviologen in PSS solution; the lowest rate is found for dimethylviologen in homogeneous medium and SDS solution, methyldodecylviologen in PSS and PVS solutions. These results were interpreted in terms of reduction potential of viologens, affinity of $Ru(bpy)_3\;^{2+}$ and viologens to the microparticles, and the structures of the viologen-colloid complexes.

The effect of pH and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle on the quenching of Ru(bpy)32+ luminescence by N-alkyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ions (RBPY+: R=methyl, octyl, dodecyl, benzyl) were investigated. In the absence of SDS, the quenching rate at pH 2 is similar to that of the corresponding methylalkyl viologens and much greater than that in pH 8 solution due to greater reducibility of the protonated form of RBPY+ (HRBPY2+). The quenching rate at pH 2 is strongly enhanced by the presence of SDS, while that at basic pH is greatly retarded. These observations are explained by deep embedment of RBPY+ into the hydrophobic hydrocarbon region of the micelle, whereas Ru(bpy)32+ and HRBPY2+ locate in the Stern layer of the micelle.
