The potential of E–Z photoisomerization in molecular organic light-to-thermal conversion and storage in an E–styryl merocyanine system was studied in a polar acidic medium. A photoswitchable styryl merocyanine dye (E)-2-(2-(2-hydroxynapht...

Benzophenones (BPs) frequently occur in water environments, and they are able to both screen UV light and to sensitize reactive intermediate (RI) production. However, BPs have largely been overlooked as a background water component when studying phot...

We have reported tetradentate ligands (salophen) coordinated with N and O atoms that led to the Cu (II) complexes. These Cu (II) complexes (C-1 and C-2) were firstly established by using elemental analysis and confirmed by mass spectra. At the same t...

In this tutorial review, we intend to provide the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the photophysical properties of organic compounds with a specific focus on anthracene and its derivatives. Anthracene-based building blocks have attracted t...

Acridine orange (AO) is a metachromatic fluorescent dye that stains various cellular compartments, specifically accumulating in acidic vacuoles (AVOs). AO is frequently used for cell and tissue staining (in vivo and in vitro), mainly because it marks...

Ultraviolet-induced photodissociation and photo-isomerization of the three most stable conformers (SSC, GAC, and AAT) of glycolic acid are investigated in a low-temperature solid argon matrix using FTIR spectroscopy and employing laser radiation with...
