Therefore, it is important to measure in cosmetics for quality assessment. Very recently, an HPLC-fluorescence method for determination of RK in a fragrance mist by pre-column derivatization with 4-hydrazino-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole hydrazine was established. However, the derivatization conditions (80°C, 20 min) were severe. In this study, an improved pre-column derivatization with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-(N-chloro-formylmethyl-N-methylamino)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-COCl) is presented by HPLC-fluorescence method for determination of RK. The DBD-CO-RK derivative was eluted from a reversed-phase ODS column, and detected with excitation at 440 nm and emission at 543 nm. Derivatization was performed at room temperature for 3 min. The retention time of DBD-CO-RK derivative was 16.8 min. The standard curve was linear in the range of 0.05 to 2.5 μg/mL, with a correlation coefficient (r2) value of 0.9988. The lower limit of detection was 0.01 μg/mL (absolute amount of 0.3 pmol). The coefficients of variation were less than 10.0%. The content of RK in fragrance mist (1.00 mL) was 1.20 ± 0.08 mg (range, 1.10 to 1.31 mg, n = 5). Recovery tests were satisfactory (91.8 ± 5.4%;range, 84.2 to 98.2%, n = 5).展开更多

In SDMAS, the electron acceptor is linked to the phenyl ring via a sulfur atom at the para-position of the electron donor. It was found that SDMAS emits dual fluorescence only in highly polar solvent water but not in organic solvents such as formamide, methanol and acetonitrile. In organic solvents only a single-band emission atca.360 nm was observed in the short wavelength region. The dual fluorescence of SDMAS in water was found at 365 and 475 nm, respectively. Introduction of organic solvent such as ethanol, acetonitrile, and 1,4-dioxane into aqueous solution of SDMAS leads to blue-shift and quenching of the long-wavelength emission. Measurements of steady-state and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence indicate that the long wavelength fluorescence is emitted from a charge transfer (CT) state that is populated from the locally excited (LE) state, with the latter giving off the short wavelength fluorescence. The fact that a highly polar solvent is required to bring out the dual fluorescence suggests that the CT process of SDMAS has a high activation energy (E a). In supporting this assumption the timeresolved fluorescence measurements give anE a of 15.35 kJ·mol-1. It was assumed that the participation of the sulfur atom d-orbital in the conjugation of sulfonate group with phenyl ring and the strong twisting and inverting of the dimethylamino plane relative to the phenyl ring could be the reasons for the high activation energy. A molecular configuration change upon charge transfer in water was suggested for SDMAS based on the thermodynamic data. SDMAS reported here represents the example of the dual fluorescent amine substituted aromatic sulfonate.展开更多
Organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs） composed of a novel fluorene derivative of 2,3-bis（9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren- 2-yl）-6,7-difluoroquinoxaline （F2Py） were fabricated, and exciplex emission was observed in the de...Organic light-emitting diodes （OLEDs） composed of a novel fluorene derivative of 2,3-bis（9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren- 2-yl）-6,7-difluoroquinoxaline （F2Py） were fabricated, and exciplex emission was observed in the device. To depress the exciplex in an OLED for pure colour light emission, 4, 4＇-N,N＇-dicarbazole-biphenyl （CBP） was inserted as a separator at the donor/acceptor interface. It was found that the device without the CBP layer emitted a green light peaking at 542 nm from the exciplex and a shoulder peak about 430 nm from F2Py. In contrast, the OLED with CBP layer emitted only a blue light peak at about 432 nm from F2Py. Device efficiencies were calculated by a simulative mode in an injection controlled type mechanism, and the results showed that exciplexes yield much lower quantum efficiency than excitons. The device with CBP has a higher power efficiency as no exciplex was present.展开更多
