A combined theoretical and experimental study on molecular photonics

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

A detailed account of quantum chemical procedures for estimating the rate constants of the photophysical processes at work in polyatomic organic molecules is given. The results obtained from combined experimental and theoretical research into the spectral-luminescent properties of acridine, 9-aminoacridine, 2,7-dimethyl-9-diphenylaminoacridine, and of their protonated forms are reported. The electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of acridine have been investigated at room temperature in ethanol solution of varying pH and in other solvents of different chemical nature and polarity. The energy of excited states, the rate constants of the deactivation of the excited states, and the dipole moments obtained by quantum chemical methods for the examined compounds are presented. The findings of the investigations are discussed.
