We carried out the melt copolymerization reactions of 1,2-bis(diethylamino)tetramethyldisilane with several aryldiols such as, 4,4'-biphenol, 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, 9H-fluoren-9,9-dimethanol, and 4,4'-(9-fluorenylidene) bis(2-phenoxyethanol) to afford poly[oxy(arylene)oxy(tetramethyldisilylene)]s containing fluorescent aromatic chromophore groups in the polymer main chain: poly[oxy(4,4'-biphenylene)oxy(tetramethyldisilylene)], poly[oxy{(4,4'-isopropylidene) diphenylene}oxy(tetramethyldisilylene)], poly[oxy(9H-fluorene-9,9-dimethylene) oxy(tetramethyldisilylene)], and poly[oxy{4,4'-(9-fluorenylidene)bis(2-phenoxyethylene)}oxy(tetramethyldisilnylene)]. These prepared materials are soluble in common organic solvents such as $CHCl_3$ and THF. The obtained polymers were characterized by several spectroscopic methods such as $^1H$, $^{13}C$, and $^{29}Si$ NMR. Further, FTIR spectra of all the polymers exhibited characteristic Si-O stretching frequencies at 1014-1087 $cm^{-1}$. These polymeric materials in THF showed strong maximum absorption peaks at 268-281 nm, strong maximum excitation peaks at 263-291 nm, and strong maximum fluorescence emission bands at 314-362 nm due to the presence of tetramethyldisilylene and several arylene chromophores in the polymer main chain. TGA thermograms indicated that most of the polymers were stable up to $200^{\circ}C$ with a weight loss of 3-16% in nitrogen.

Melt copolymerization reactions of bis(diethylamino)tetramethyldisiloxane with several aryldiols were carried out to afford poly(carbotetramethyldisiloxane)s containing fluorescent aromatic chromophore groups in the polymer main chain: poly{oxy(4,4'-biphenylene)oxytetramethyldisiloxane}, poly{oxy(1,4-phenylene)oxytetramethyldisiloxane}, poly[oxy{(4,4'-isopropylidene)diphenylene}oxytetramethyldisiloxane], poly[oxy{(4,4'-hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenylene}oxytetramethyldisiloxane], poly{oxy(2,6-naphthalene)oxytetramethyldisiloxane}, poly[oxy{4,4'-(9-fluorenylidene)diphenylene}oxytetramethyldisiloxane], poly{oxy(fluorene-9,9-dimethylene)oxytetramethyldisiloxane}, and poly[oxy{4,4'-(9-fluorenylidene)bis(2-phenoxyethylene)}oxytetramethyldisiloxane]. These materials are soluble in common organic solvents such as $CHCl_3$ and THF. The FTIR spectra of all the polymers exhibit the characteristic Si-O-C stretching frequencies at 1021-1082 $cm^{-1}$. In the THF solution, the polymeric materials show strong maximum absorption peaks at 215-311 nm, with strong maximum excitation peaks at 250-310 nm, and strong maximum fluorescence emission bands at 310-360 nm. TGA thermograms indicate that most of the polymers are stable up to $200^{\circ}C$ with a weight loss of less than 10% in nitrogen.

Succinic semialdehyde reductase, one of key enzyme of GABA shunt in CNS, is inactivated by o-phthalaldehyde, The inactivation followed pseudo first-order kinetics, and the second-order rate constant for the inactivation process was 28 M$\^$-1/s$\^$-1/ at pH 7.4 and 25$^{\circ}C$. The absorption spectrum(λ$\_$max/=377nm), fluorescence exitation(λ$\_$max/=340nm) and fluorescence emission spectra (λ$\_$max/=409nm) were consistent with the formation of an isoindole derivative in the catalytic site between a cysteine and a lysine residues about 3${\AA}$ apart. The substrate, succinic semialdehyde, did not protect the enzymatic activity against inactivation, whereas the coenzyme, NADPH, protected against o-phthalaldehyde induced inactivation of the enzyme. About 1 isoindole group per moi of the enzyme was formed following complete loss of the enzymatic activity. These results suggest that the amino acid residues of the enzyme participating in reaction with o-phthalaldehyde more likely residues at or near the coenzyme binding site.

Melt copolymerization reactions of several bis(diethylamino)silane derivatives, bis(diethylamino)methylphenylsilane, bis(diethylamino)methyloctylsilane, 1,2-bis(diethylamino)tetramethyldisilane, and 1,3-bis(diethylamino) tetramethyldisiloxane, with 2,7-dihydroxyfluoren-9-one were carried out to yield poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren- 9-onenylene)oxy(diorganosilylene)]s bearing the fluoren-9-one fluorescent aromatic group in the polymer main chain: poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene)oxy(methylphenylsilylene)], poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene) oxy(methyloctylsilylene)], poly[oxy(2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene)oxy(tetramethyldisilylene)], and poly[oxy- (2,7-fluoren-9-onenylene)oxy(tetramethyldisiloxanylene)]. These polymeric materials are soluble in common organic solvents such as $CHCl_3$ and THF. FTIR spectra of all the materials reveal characteristic Si-O-C stretching frequencies at 1012-1018 $cm^{-1}$. In the THF solution, the prepared materials show strong maximum absorption peaks at 258-270 nm, strong maximum excitation peaks at 260-280 nm, and strong maximum fluorescence emission bands at 310-420 nm. TGA thermograms suggest that most of the polymers are essentially stable to $200^{\circ}C$ without any weight loss and up to $300^{\circ}C$ with only a weight loss of less than 5% in nitrogen.

An olive-green mutant was generated in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 by inactivation of the sll0396 gene. Whole-cell absorption spectra of the mutant revealed the missing of phycocyanin peak. An investigation of the low-temperature fluorescence emission spectra revealed that the $sll0396{\Omega}$ mutant has a reduced amount of phycocyanin. Western blot analysis showed that the mutant contained less phycocyanin ${\beta}$- and ${\alpha}$-subunits and lacked the 30- and 32-kDa linker polypeptides, and northern blot analysis revealed that the transcription of the 1.4-kb cpcBA gene encoding the phycocyanin ${\beta}$- and ${\alpha}$-subunits was lower in the mutant. The Sll0396 protein has a DNA-binding motif and shares homology with known response regulators. Our results indicate that Sll0396 plays a regulatory role in the transcription of the phycocyanin genes during phycobilisome synthesis.

This study examined the photoemission behaviors of isolated chains of poly[2-methoxy, 5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene](MEH-PPV) dispersed in various solvents including dichloromethane, chloroform and tetrahydrofuran(THF). A change in polymer-solvent interactions in these solutions caused the MEH-PPV chains to adopt different local conformations, which in turn affected their radiative de-excitation pathways. For the polymer in dichloromethane and chloroform, in which the conjugated chains are relatively extended, photoemission occurs mostly at the long chromophores with lowest HOMO-LUMO energy gap. Their emission spectra showed a main peak at ${\sim}560\;nm$. Dual photoemission of high- and low-energy chromophores was observed when the conjugated chains were forced to partially collapse in a poor solvent THF. Novel high-energy peaks and a typical low-energy peak were detected at ${\sim}414\;nm$ and ${\sim}554\;nm$, respectively. The observation of the high-energy peaks indicates significant suppression of the intrachain energy transfer process, which was attributed to the increase in conformational disorder in the partially collapsed coils. An analysis of the excitation spectra suggests that the high-energy peaks belong to short chromophores constituting of one or two repeat units. This study systematically investigated the effects of polymer concentration, temperature and single bond defects along the backbone on the photoemission of the high-energy chromophores.

We report fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of the CHBr molecule generated via pyrolysis of $CH_3Br$ in a molecular beam experiment. The 193 nm attenuation cross sections were estimated from the reduction of the CHBr signal as a function of the excimer laser fluence. The derived 193 nm absorption cross section for CHBr [$(3.24{\pm}0.59){\times}10^{-17}\;cm^2$] is slightly higher than the absorption cross section previously determined for CHCl [$(2.6{\pm}0.8){\times}10^{-17}\;cm^2$], but the difference is within the estimated uncertainties in the measured cross section.

Temperature effects on the fluorescence emission spectra of 0.01 M Eu(III) ion with ClO$_4$, Cl$^-$, NO$_3$ were studied. Relative intensity change of hypersensitive band ($^5D0\; {\to}\;^7F_2$) and nonhypersensitive band ($^5D0 \;{\to}\;^7F_1$) was quite remarkable with temperature and ligand. The relative intensity change was interpreted as the change of formation constant and used to calculation the enthalpy change of $Eu(H_2O)_X^{3+}$+ to EuL(H$_2O)_{X-1}^{2+}$ complex. $\Delta{H}$ of $Eu(H_2O)_X^{3+}$ to EuCl(H$_2O)_{X-1}^{2+}$ was roughly 15 kJ/mol and temperature independent, but $\Delta{H}$ of EuNO$_3(H_2O)_{X-1}^{2+}$ was changed with temperature; -11 kJ/mol at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 47 kJ/mol at 250$^{\circ}C$.

Ca_1-xZrO₃:xPr phosphor with perovskite structure was successfully synthesized by using skull melting method. The crystal structure, morphology and optical properties of synthesized phosphor were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet fluorescence reaction and photoluminescence. The XRD results indicated that single crystals of CaZrO₃:Pr³⁺ belongs to orthorhombic perovskite system. The synthesized phosphor could be excited by UV light (254 nm) and the emission spectra results indicated that green luminescence of CaZrO₃:Pr³⁺ due to charge transfer transition ³P₀ → ³H₄, ³P₁ → ³H₅ and ³P₀ → ³H₅ at 506, 536 and 548 nm was dominant.

Phosphor with phosphorus doped with rare earth ions was investigated by searching Sr and Eu phosphors suitable for substitution of Eu ions with similar ionic radius to polyphosphate host. The $NaSr(PO_3)_3$ phosphor was synthesized by the solid state method and the $NaSr(PO_3)_3:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor was prepared by the carbon thermal reduction method. Both of the phosphors were identified by X - ray diffraction. The excitation and emission spectra of $NaSr(PO_3)_3:Eu^{3+}$ increased fluorescence intensity and intensity quenching with increasing $Eu^{3+}$ concentration. The higher the $Eu^{3+}$ concentration in the emission spectrum, the higher the local symmetry of $Eu^{3+}$ environment. The mechanism of concentration quenching, in which fluorescence decreases due to the energy transfer between $Eu^{2+}$ ions with the closest critical distance between $Eu^{2+}$ ions with increasing $Eu^{2+}$ ion concentration, was confirmed in the emission spectrum of $NaSr(PO_3)_3:Eu^{2+}$ concentration. It is possible to change the fluorescent region through the post-processing of single rare earth ion added phosphors, and it is possible to change the fluorescence by applying the energy transfer and concentration quenching mechanism according to the local symmetry of $Eu^{3+}$ will be used for high phosphor development.
