The Interaction Of Homodimer Styrylcyanine Dyes With Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate And Triton X-100.

Solubilization of the styrylcyanine dye Sbt ((E)-2-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide) and its homodimers Dbt-5 and Dbt-10 in aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate and Triton X-100 has been studied by steady state and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. At low concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate in solution, between Sbt, Dbt-5 dyes molecules and surfactant ion pairs are formed followed by the formation non-luminescent H-aggregates. The nature of the interaction between molecules of dyes and surfactants has been revealed.

Electronic nature and structure of aggregates of riboflavin molecules.

Aggregation process of riboflavin molecules in binary mixtures: water - dioxane, water - DMSO, and ethanol - isobutanol, were investigated using spectroscopic methods and quantum-chemical calculation. It was shown that at a constant concentration of riboflavin and different ratios of binary mixtures, a deformation of the electronic absorption spectra with a hypochromic effect is observed. The observed changes are caused by the formation of a hydrogen bond and dipole-dipole interaction between riboflavin molecules, which is accompanied by a shift and resonance splitting of excited electronic levels.

Spectral-luminescent and photochemical characteristics of homodimers of the styrylcyanine dye Sbt in solutions.

The influence of concentration, solvent nature on the intermolecular interaction and its spectroscopic manifestations in solutions of styrylcyanine dye Sbt ((E)-2-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide) and its homodimers, i.e. dyes with two interconnected chromophores, was studied.

Spectroscopic study of the interaction of styrylcyanine dyes Sbo, Sil and their derivatives with bovine serum albumin.

The spectral-luminescent characteristics of newly synthesized styrylcyanine dyes on the base of dyes Sbo ((E)-2-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-3-methylbenzo[d]oxazol-3-ium iodide) and Sil ((E)-2-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium perchlorate) in aqueous solutions without and in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied. It was established that the absorption spectra of dyes Tol-6, Dbo-10 and Dil-10 with increasing amount of BSA appear new bands with λ(max)=505 nm, λ(max)=512 nm and λ(max)=566 nm, respectively, whose intensity increases in proportion to the amount of albumin. The intensity of the glow of the main band of fluorescence in the presence of BSA sharply increases.

[Fluorescence of acridine orange in the composition of blood and tissues].

The interaction of acridine orange with blood albumins and tissue cells from different organs of white mouse has been studied by the spectral luminescence method. It was shown that acridine orange, by penetrating cells or orangelles, is able to intercalate between base pairs in the DNA molecule. It was found that the application of acridine orange as a fluorescent probe can influence the metabolic activity of organs.
