Abstract
Viscosity is closely associated with physiological and pathological processes, as well as food quality. Herein, a novel fluorescent molecular rotor, BMCY-V, was presented and applied for detection of viscosity. BMCY-V contained a benzoindole unit as electron donor and a malononitrile group as acceptor. In low-viscous solvents, the rotor can freely rotate, leading to dissipation of excited-state energy. In high-viscous media, however, the free rotation of the rotor is severely restricted, thus reducing non-radiative transition and resulting in significantly enhanced fluorescence intensity. BMCY-V is extremely sensitive to viscosity, showing about 3968 times increase of fluorescence intensity at 728 nm from water to 95 % glycerol. Due to the excellent photophysical property such as near-infrared emission, BMCY-V was successfully used to visualize viscosity in live cells and in liver tissues. In addition, BMCY-V can also evaluate the thickening effect of various thickeners and visualize the changes of viscosity during deterioration of fluid drinks.

Abstract
Three new α-tocopherol thiophene derivatives were efficiently synthesized, characterized and used for the first time as chain-breaking antioxidants for the inhibition of the autoxidation of reference oxidizable substrates. The rate constant of the reaction with alkylperoxyl (ROO˙) radicals and the stoichiometry of radical trapping (n) for the thiophene-tocopherol compounds were determined by measuring the oxygen consumption during the autoxidation of styrene or isopropylbenzene, using a differential pressure transducer. The measurement of the reaction with ROO˙ radicals in an apolar solvent at 30 °C showed inhibition rate constants (kinh) in the order of 104 M-1 s-1. To rationalise the kinetic results, the effect of the thiophene ring on the H-atom donation by O-H groups of the functionalized tocopherols was investigated by theoretical calculations. The importance of noncovalent interactions (including an unusual O˙⋯S bond) for the stability of the conformers has been shown, and the O-H bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE(OH)) of these derivatives was determined. Finally, the photophysical properties of these new compounds were investigated to understand if the addition of thiophene groups changes the absorption or emission spectra of the tocopherol skeleton for their possible application as luminescent molecular probes.

Abstract
α-Tocopherol oxalate (TO), a tocopherol ester derivative, was investigated for its effect on the structural changes of fully hydrated 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) liposomes, as a function of concentration and temperature, by applying differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and DPH fluorescence anisotropy methods. The DSC and DPH anisotropy data indicated that TO embedded into DPPC membrane lowered the enthalpy (ΔHm) and temperature (Tm) of the main phase transition as well its cooperativity. Fluidization of the membrane at a lowered temperature was accompanied by formation of mixed structures of tocopherol-enriched domains. SAXS studies showed the formation of various ordered structures in DPPC gel-phase during incorporation of TO into the bilayer, as evidenced by the existence of lamellar phases with repeat distances (d) of 6.13 and 6.87 nm, assigned to TO-enriched domains and a lamellar, liquid-ordered DPPC phase with d = 8.45 nm at increasing TO concentrations with lowering and broadening of the Bragg peaks, and diffuse scattering, characteristic of a fluid Lα phase, were observed. In DPPC fluid-phase, the increasing presence of TO at low concentrations resulted in the appearance of a liquid-ordered phase with repeat d = 6.9 nm coexistent with a lamellar structure with d = 9.2 nm, assigned to liquid-disordered structures. An increasing repeat distance observed with raising the TO amount in the DPPC bilayer evolved from an increasing interlamellar water layer of increasing thickness. Presence of TO facilitated penetration of water molecules into the acyl chain region which decreased van der Waals interactions in the bilayer. The DSC, SAXS, and fluorescence anisotropy data established that TO exhibited pronounced disruptive activity in DPPC membranes compared to α-tocopherol. The driving force of the observed action was attributed to electrostatic and dipole interactions of the acidic moiety with the polar head group of phospholipids in the interface region of the bilayer.

Abstract
α-Tocopherol (Toc) is known to degrade to the tocopheroxyl radicals (Toc) by exposure to UV light irradiation. In the present study, the stability of Toc ester derivatives exposed to UV light was investigated and compared with Toc in organic solution and in phospholipid vesicles. To follow the depletion of Toc and its esters the absorbance and fluorescence methods were applied whereas degradation products were detected using LC-MS method. The irradiation with UVB light of air-equilibrated solutions of di-α-Tocopheryl malonate (DTMO), α-Tocopheryl malonate (TMO) and α-Tocopheryl succinate (TS) strongly modifies their absorption and fluorescence spectra. Upon UVB irradiation, absorption band at 279/285nm becomes less pronounced indicating the photodegradation of esters. During irradiation, the fluorescence maximum of esters at 305nm shifts to 326nm, a maximum characteristic for Toc. Photorecovery of Toc from its esters derivatives was finally confirmed by LC-MS method. Among studied esters, only α-tocopheryl nicotinate (TN) did not undergo depletion and appeared resistant to UVB radiation. Kinetic studies indicated that photoinduced transformation occurs through the first order consecutive reaction chain mechanism. The photodissociation of Toc esters in the liposomes occurred with one order of magnitude slower than in organic solvents. Using MS/MS method it was found that final stable product of irradiation was α-tocopheryl quinone (TQ), an animal and plant metabolite of Toc.

Abstract
Changes of the photoluminescent properties of QD in the presence of oxidized catechin (CQ) were investigated by absorption, steady-state fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime and dynamic light scattering measurements. Photoluminescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime was decreasing with increasing CQ concentration. Dynamic light scattering technique found the hydrodynamic diameter of QD suspension in water is in range of 45 nm, whereas in presence of CQ increased to mean values of 67 nm. Calculated from absorption peak position of excition band indicated on average QD size of 3.2 nm. Emission spectroscopy and time-resolved emission studies confirmed preservation of electronic band structure in QD-CQ aggregates. On basis of the presented results, the elucidated mechanism of QD fluorescence quenching is a result of the interaction between QD and CQ due to electron transfer and electrostatic attraction. The results of fluorescence quenching of water-soluble CdTe quantum dot (QD) capped with thiocarboxylic acid were used to implement a simple and fast method to determine the presence of native antioxidant quinones in aqueous solutions. Feasibility studies on this method carried out with oxidized catechin showed a linear relation between the QD emission and quencher concentration, in range from 1 up to 200 μM. The wide linear range of concentration dependence makes it possible to apply this method for the fast and sensitive detection of quinones in solutions.

Abstract
Time-resolved emission measurements in subpicosecond time domain have been carried out for 1-nitropyrene in different solvents to understand the mechanism for the observed ultrafast decay of its first excited singlet state. Excited-state dynamics of 1-nitropyrene is found to be independent of the solvent viscosity. This result contradicts the proposition in the literature (J. Phys. Chem. A 2007, 111, 552) that the ultrafast decay in 1-nitropyrene is due to the large amplitude torsional motion of the nitro group around the pyrene moiety. Excited-state dynamics of 1-nitropyrene in solvents with different dielectric constants shows that excited-state lifetime suddenly increases after a certain value of the dielectric constant. Detailed quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to understand the process that is responsible for the observed effect of the dielectric constant on the excited-state dynamics of 1-nitropyrene. It is seen that the excited-state lifetime and the singlet-triplet energy gap follow similar variation with the dielectric constant of the medium. Such a correlation between the excited-state lifetime and the singlet-triplet energy gap supports the fact that the observed ultrafast decay for 1-nitropyrene is due to an efficient intersystem crossing rather than to the torsional motion of the nitro group as proposed in the literature.

Abstract
An ultrafast intramolecular bond twisting process is known to be the responsible mechanism for the sensing activity of the extensively used amyloid fibril sensor thioflavin T (ThT). However, it is not yet known which one of the two possible single bonds in ThT is actually involved in the twisting process. To resolve this fundamental issue, two derivatives of ThT have been designed and synthesized and subsequently their photophysical properties have been studied in different solvents. It is understood from the present study that the rotation around the central C-C single bond, and not that around the C-N single bond, is primarily responsible for the sensor activity of ThT. Detailed viscosity-dependent fluorescence studies revealed that the ThT derivative with restricted C-N bond rotation acts as a better sensor than the derivative with free C-N bond rotation. The better sensory activity is directly correlated with a shorter excited-state lifetime. Results obtained from the photophysical studies of the ThT derivatives have also been supported by the results obtained from quantum chemical calculations.
