Optimization of holography recording in photopolymers was studied from the point of view of a quite general process, that is, the photogeneration of radicals. On the basis of a dye/coinitiator photoinitiating system, the effect of primary events and their relative efficiency was investigated with respect to the final overall properties, such as the diffraction efficiency. Quenching of the dye excited states by the borate salts coinitiators exhibits important differences depending on the dye used (Rose Bengal or Safranine O). Keeping in mind that both singlet and triplet states of the dyes can react, and taking into account the viscosity of the matrix, a method to evaluate the overall quantum yield of radicals released is proposed. It is found that this quantum yield well correlates with the maximum rate of photopolymerization. More interestingly, the dose required to obtain a given diffraction efficiency was found to be also governed by the radical quantum yield, showing that the final property is directly governed by primary events. This shed some light on the efficiency of photochemical pathway to generate radicals for use in organic or polymer areas.

A series of 2-pyridone[α]-fused BOPHYs - were prepared via a two-step procedure involving the preparation of enamine, followed by an intramolecular heterocyclization reaction. In addition to being fully conjugated with the BOPHY core pyridone fragment, BOPHYs and have a pyridine group connected to the BOPHY core via one- or two -CH- groups. New BOPHYs were characterized by spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction.

Metal halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls) possess ultra-narrow photoluminescence (PL) bands tunable over the entire visible spectral range, which makes them promising for utilization in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with spectrally pure emission colors. This calls for development of synthetic methods toward perovskite NPls with a high degree of control over both their thickness and lateral dimensions. A general strategy is developed to obtain such monodisperse CsPbI NPls through the control over the halide-to-lead ratio during heating-up reaction.

Since photosynthesis is highly sensitive to salinity stress, remote sensing of photosynthetic status is useful for detecting salinity stress during the selection and breeding of salinity-tolerant plants. To do so, photochemical reflectance index (PRI) is a potential measure to detect conversion of the xanthophyll cycle in photosystem II. Raphanus sativus var.

Plant infiltration techniques, particularly agroinfiltration, have transformed plant science and biotechnology by enabling transient gene expression for genetic engineering of plants or genomic studies. Recently, the use of infiltration has expanded to introduce nanomaterials and polymers in plants to enable nonnative functionalities. Despite its wide use, the impact of the infiltration process on plant physiology needs to be better understood.

Three new analogues of Tb-UiO-66 with various functional groups (-F, -Br, -NH) on the terephthalic acid linker of the metal-organic framework (MOF) are synthesized and characterized. The photoluminescent properties of these analogues, as well as Tb-UiO-66 and Tb-UiO-66-(OH), are studied and correlated to the calculated energies for the triplet (T) states of each linker. The results show that the addition of electron withdrawing groups, such as -F and -Br, lead to higher T energies, resulting in quantum yields in the range of 6-31%.
