The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the dynamic characteristics of the laser fragmentation/laser-induced fluorescence (LF/LIF) effects in nitrobenzene vapors under the separate initiation of processes of photofragmentation and fluorescence of fragments by nanosecond laser pulses. It is shown that, due to the inertia of the dissociation mechanism of nitrobenzene molecules, the process of the fragments' formation continues even after letup of excitation. The highest concentration of fragments is reached in a time several times greater than the standard fragmentation pulse duration of 10 ns. A kinetic model is presented that allows one to trace the temporal dynamics of the LF/LIF process of nitrobenzene vapors under separate excitation. A good agreement between the experimental data and the results of calculation indicates the adequacy of application of the developed kinetic model for describing the LF/LIF process. The information obtained in the experiment made it possible to clarify the values of the rate constants of the nitrobenzene dissociation.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to develop and optimize a wound dressing film loaded with chloramphenicol (CAM) and ibuprofen (IBU) using a Quality by Design (QbD) approach.

Significance: The two drugs have been combined in the same dressing as they address two critical aspects of the wound healing process, namely prevention of bacterial infection and reduction of inflammation and pain related to injury.

Methods: Three critical formulation variables were identified, namely the ratios of Kollicoat SR 30D, polyethylene glycol 400 and polyvinyl alcohol.

Article Synopsis
  • - A new isophthalamide-based sensor called IPA has been developed that exhibits strong aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, emitting light at 438 nm, making it sensitive and selective in detecting nitrobenzene (NB) in various states (solid, solution, vapor).
  • - The interaction between IPA and nitrobenzene has been characterized through various spectroscopic methods, revealing significant fluorescence quenching and allowing NB detection down to levels of 60 nM, along with additional studies confirming the type of interaction.
  • - Advanced computational methods, including DFT calculations and NBO analysis, were employed to explore the thermodynamic stability and charge transfer interactions of IPA with nitrobenzene, demonstrating its potential for practical

Article Synopsis
  • Macrocyclic arenes can adapt their shape to form complexes with specific guest molecules, but tend to have poor light emission in solid form due to self-absorption issues.* -
  • New derivatives of pillar[6]arene were synthesized, featuring a structure that alternates between methylene and nitrogen bridges, enhancing their light-emission properties by improving charge transfer dynamics.* -
  • One of these new nitrogen-containing pillar[6]arenes exhibits a high photoluminescence quantum yield and can detect nitrobenzene vapor through a fluorescence quenching effect, forming non-emissive complexes upon exposure.*

A Metal-Free Triazacoronene-Based Bimodal VOC Sensor.

ACS Sens

January 2024

Developing suitable sensors for selective and sensitive detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is crucial for monitoring indoor and outdoor air quality. VOCs are very harmful to our health upon inhalation or contact. Bimodal sensor materials with more than one transduction capability (optical and electrical) offer the ability to extract complementary information from the individual analyte, thus improving detection accuracy and performance.
