In the paper results are presented of investigation of protochlorophyll (PChl) and chlorophyll (Chl) mixed associations and of interaction between them within the polymer molecular complex, which forms in mixture of water-dioxane (1 : 4). The initial PChl concentration in all solutions was constant (CPChl = 1 . 10(-5) m/l), and Chl concentration varied from 1.10(-8) m/l up to 2.10(-5) m/l. It is shown that with the rise of Chl proportion in the mixed aggregate the rearrangement of both donor (PChl) and acceptor (Chl) components of complex takes place. The luminescence quenching of PChl and the sensitization of Chl emission in mixed pigment associates were investigated of different Chl levels and the evaluation of efficiency of intracomplex electronic excitation energy transfer, determined from quenching and sensibilization, was performed. Similar dependence of energy transfer effectiveness on Chl concentration, determined by the two above-mentioned methods shows that the excitation migration in an associate takes place without losses. An analysis of results permits to conclude that a small trapping efficiency of PChl excitation by the acceptor part of the complex may be connected with the existence of the prerelaxation reverse energy transfer from Chl to PChl in mixed pigment associates. On the basis of the obtained data a mechanism of energy transfer from protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide in etiolated leaves and homogenates is discussed.

A lanthanide ion-based metal-organic framework (Eu-TATAB nanorods) was designed and synthesized as an effective tri-mode nanoprobe for sensitive and portable detection of ethanol content in a water-ethanol mixture. The assay was based on the responsive properties of Eu-TATAB nanorods to ethanol stimulus and their adaptive encapsulation capability towards optically active lanthanides. With the addition of ethanol to the Eu-TATAB nanorods, the structure was destroyed, resulting in a decrease in luminescence, electrochemiluminescence, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometric signals by perturbing energy transfer in the Eu-TATAB nanorods.

Metal halides are widely applied in solid-state lighting (SSL), optoelectronic devices, information encryption, and near-infrared (NIR) detection due to their superior photoelectric properties and tunable emission. However, single-component phosphors that can be efficiently excited by light-emitting diode (LED) chips and cover both the visible (VIS) and NIR emission regions are still very rare. To address this issue, (TPA)ZnBr:Sn/Mn (TPA = [(CHCHCH)N]) phosphors were synthesized by using the solvent evaporation method.

Lanthanide-doped upconversion luminescent nanoparticles (UCNPs) have garnered extensive attention due to their notable anti-Stokes shifts and superior photostability. Notably, Ho-based UCNPs present a complex energy level configuration, which poses challenges in augmenting their luminescence efficiency. Herein, a rational design strategy was used to enhance the upconversion luminescence intensity of Ho ions by improving the photon absorption ability and energy utilization efficiency.

This study examines heat transfer and nanofluid-enhanced blood flow behaviour in stenotic arteries under inflammatory conditions, addressing critical challenges in cardiovascular health. The blood, treated as a Newtonian fluid, is augmented with gold nanoparticles to improve thermal conductivity and support drug delivery applications. A hybrid methodology combining finite element method (FEM) for numerical modelling and artificial neural networks (ANN) for stability prediction provides a robust analytical framework.

In two-dimensional (2D) chiral metal-halide perovskites (MHPs), chiral organic spacers induce structural chirality and chiroptical properties in the metal-halide sublattice. This structural chirality enables reversible crystalline-glass phase transitions in (-NEA)PbBr, a prototypical chiral 2D MHP where NEA represents 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium. Here, we investigate two distinct spherulite states of (-NEA)PbBr, exhibiting either radial-like or stripe-like banded patterns depending on the annealing conditions of the amorphous film.
