Four 8-acyl-1-pyrrolidinylnaphalenes are prepared where the acyl group is pivaloyl (6), benzoyl (7), benzyloxycarbonyl (8), and ethyloxycarbonyl (9). Crystal structures for 6–8 show that both the carbonyl and pyrrolidinyl groups are nearly perp...

Organic peroxy (ROO•) and hydroperoxy (•QOOH) radicals are key reactive intermediates that are formed via the oxidation of volatile organic compounds during combustion or in the Earth’s atmosphere. Their primary fate is continued unim...

In this study, we investigated environmentally responsive photoluminescence color changes in water using an amphiphilic flavin derivative (1a) functionalized with an alkylsulfonate group. At low concentrations and room temperature, 1a exhibited a gre...

We determine the efficiency of generating singlet oxygen molecules through Raman excitation in distilled water. Focused nanosecond light pulses in the spectral blue region induce a Raman transition toward the singlet oxygen state, generating a Stokes...

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens are materials that exhibit enhanced light emission in the aggregated state, primarily due to the restriction of intramolecular motions, which reduces energy loss through non-radiative pathways. Tetrapheny...

Accurate detection of water in organic solvents is essential for various industrial and analytical applications. In this study, we present a simple, rapid, and sensitive fluorescence-based method for water quantification using 1,5-diaminonaphthalene...

This study details how 3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (3NPEO) behaves in terms of photophysics when exposed to different solvents. The solvatochromic effect study reveals significant polarity shifts in the excited states of the 3NPEO com...

Photosynthesis in plants and the electron transport chain in mitochondria are examples of life-sustaining electron transfer processes. The benzoquinones plastoquinone and ubiquinone are key components of these pathways that cycle through their oxidiz...

Cyanotypes, known as photographs and architectural plans made by photo-reproduction from the 19th and 20th centuries, are subjects for conservation. Wet cleaning for conservation treatment has been reported to be unsuitable for cyanotypes because Pru...

Quinolones and fluoroquinolones are heterocyclic compounds with important antibacterial properties, and they have been extensively used in medicinal chemistry to treat diverse bacterial infections. However, their clinical applications have been limit...
