The optical properties and quantum chemical calculations of thienyl and furyl derivatives of pyrene.

A detailed electrochemical, photophysical and theoretical study is presented for various new thienyl and furyl derivatives of pyrene. Their optical properties are described based on UV-VIS absorption and both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. DFT and TDDFT calculations are also presented to support experimental data.

Absorption, fluorescence and second harmonic generation in Cr³⁺-doped BiB₃O₆ glasses.

Synthesis, spectral properties and photoinduced nonlinear optical effects of chromium-doped BiB3O6 glass are studied in the present paper. Absorption, excitation and time resolved luminescence spectra are presented and luminescence decay behavior is discussed. Detailed analysis of the obtained spectra (assignment of the most prominent spectral features in terms of the corresponding Cr(3+) energy levels, crystal field strength Dq, Racah parameters B and C) was performed.

Dicyanobenzene and dicyanopyrazine derived X-shaped charge-transfer chromophores: comparative and structure-property relationship study.

A series of novel X-shaped push-pull compounds based on benzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile has been designed, synthesized and further investigated by X-ray analysis, electrochemistry, absorption and emission spectra, SHG experiment and quantum-chemical calculations. The obtained data were compared with those for isolobal 5,6-disubstituted pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles. Structure-property relationships were elucidated.

Spectral kinetics of fluorescence spectra of fluoroderivatives of pyrazoloquinoline in different polymer matrices.

Three fluoro-substituted pyrazoloquinoline derivatives have been placed in polymer matrices: polycarbonate, poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene. Absorption, excitation and time-resolved fluorescence spectra have been recorded and luminescence lifetime of the optically active composites has been determined. Influence of the dielectric environment the optical properties of the chromophores are discussed.

IR laser induced spectra in novel crystals CdTe-CuInTe2.

The novel crystalline alloys CdTe-CuInTe2 were synthesized. The photoinduced spectral changes of the anharmonic phonon modes were explored by cw CO2 laser at power about 2 kW in the vicinity of the 1650 cm(-1) mode. The changes of the intensities for principal phonon modes were found.
