Determination of ground state and excited state dipole moments of a highly fluorescent laser dye molecule ADS740WS and comparison of excited state dipole moment by Lippert, Bakhashiev, Kawski–Chamma–Viallet, McRae, Suppan, and solvent polarity methods. Kamlet–Abboud–Taft and Katritzky multilinear analysis for characterizing the solvent contribution into spectral features of the dye has also been studied. Correlation analysis of spectroscopic data with multiple polarity parameters was carried out by multiple linear regression analysis. Optical absorption and fluorescence of ADS740WS in alcohol and other solvents with attachment of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) shows quenching of absorption and fluorescence intensities. This is due to size, shape, and coupling between the AgNPs and the dye, and energy transfer between the dye and the AgNPs. Fluorescence quenching of ADS740WS leads to many applications notably for advancement in biomolecular labeling and fluorescence patterning and chemotherapy in cancer treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
