Abstract

2-(2 -hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT) is a typical compound with excited--state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effect. The mechanism of the influence of the solvent polarity on the ESIPT effect of HBT was investigated by means of absorption and fluorescence spectra in different polar solvents. The absorption spectra of HBT molecule in all solvents have the similar configuration and are mainly situated in the UV region from 260 to 370 nm. The absorption peaks are located at 287 and 335 nm and have the decline trend with the increase in the solvent polarity. In addition, there is a very weak absorption band at 400 nm and it is attributable to the absorption from the keto form of HBT. Under UV excitation at 335 nm, the fluorescence spectra in all the solvents were obtained. All the fluorescence spectra exhibit dual fluorescence peaks, which are located at 385 and 512 nm respectively. The former is attributed to the emission from the HBT enol forms, named the normal fluorescence, and the latter the emission from the keto tautomer emission, named ESIPT fluorescence. The fluorescence spectra of HBT show that the intensity of the normal fluorescence is obviously increased and the intensity of the ESIPT fluorescence is decrea...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
