Abstract
Perylenediimide (PDI) compounds are widely used as the active units of thin-film organic lasers. Lately, PDIs bearing two sterically hindering diphenylphenoxy groups at the 1,7-bay positions have received attention because they provide a way to red-shift the emission with respect to bay-unsubstituted PDIs, while maintaining a good amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) performance at high doping rates. Here, we report the synthesis of a series of six PDI derivatives with different aryloxy groups (PDI 6 to PDI 10) or ethoxy groups (PDI 11) at the 1,7 positions of the PDI core, together with a complete characterization of their optical properties, including absorption, photoluminescence, and ASE. We aim to stablish structure-property relationships that help designing compounds with optimized ASE performance. Film experiments were accomplished at low PDI concentrations in the film, to resemble the isolated molecule behaviour, and at a range of increasing doping rates, to investigate concentration quenching effects. Compounds PDI 10 and PDI 7, bearing substituents in the 2' positions of the benzene ring (the one contiguous to the linking oxygen atom) attached to the 1,7 positions of the PDI core, have shown a better threshold performance, which is attributed to conformational (steric) effects. Films containing PDI 11 show dual ASE.

Abstract
Furocoumarins are the useful derivatives of coumarin, and they act as skin photosensitizing material due to their exciting exciplex states. Dendrimers also form exciplexes when they contain coumarin as core and used for light harvesting. A number of ingredients in human nutrition contain coumarins. The apiaceae family is the most common example of this class that contains carrots, celery and parsley etc. Rutaceae family is also an important food source that contains coumarins and provides citrus food. Besides fruits and vegetables, beverages like coffee, wine, black and green tea also incorporates coumarin derivatives. Few coumarin dyes show absorption and one emission peak but it can show a double amplified spontaneous emission band due to the generation of super exciplexes in coumarins. Exciplex formation of different coumarin derivatives including 7-methoxy coumarin, 7-hydroxy coumarin show wide application in synthesis of various other derivatives and they can be used as dye due to their prominent fluorescence properties. Exciplexes and excimers of coumarin are widely used in lasers. Both singlet and triplet state exciplexes are considered. Thus a comprehensive review of excited state complexes of coumarin derivatives is discussed here with emphases on the interaction and overlap of the energy levels.

Abstract
Chemically synthesized zigzag-edged nanographenes (NG) have recently demonstrated great success as the active laser units in solution-processed organic distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. Here, we report the first observation of dual amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from a large-size NG derivative (with 12 benzenoid rings) dispersed in a polystyrene film. ASE is observed simultaneously at the 685 and 739 nm wavelengths, which correspond to different transitions of the photoluminescence spectrum. Ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy has been used to ascertain the underlying photophysical processes taking place in the films. DFB lasers, based on these materials and top-layer nanostructured polymeric resonators (i.e., one or two-dimensional surface relief gratings), have been fabricated and characterized. Lasers emitting close to either one of the two possible ASE wavelengths, or simultaneously at both of them, have been prepared by proper selection of the resonator parameters.

Abstract
Many intracellular reactions are dependent on the dielectric ("polarity") and viscosity properties of their milieu. Fluorescence imaging offers a convenient strategy to report on such environmental properties. Yet, concomitant and independent monitoring of polarity and viscosity in cells at submicron scale is currently hampered by the lack of fluorescence probes characterized by unmixed responses to both parameters. Here, the peculiar photophysics of a green fluorescent protein chromophore analog is exploited for quantifying and imaging polarity and viscosity independently in living cells. We show that the polarity and viscosity profile around a novel hybrid drug-delivery peptide changes dramatically upon cell internalization via endosomes, shedding light on the spatiotemporal features of the release mechanism. Accordingly, our fluorescent probe opens the way to monitor the environmental effects on several processes relevant to cell biochemistry and nanomedicine.

Abstract
The absorption and fluorescence spectra of highly fluorescent industrially useful medium sized Red Mega 480 dye have been studied in various solvents at 298 K. The solute photophysical behavior depends strongly on the solute-solvent interactions. In order to understand the effect of inter molecular interactions on spectral behaviors of the dye in different solvents extent of this behavior can be analyzed by linear solvation energy relationships. In addition, ground and excited state dipole moments were evaluated by various methods. It is observed that excited state dipole moment (μe) is larger than the ground state (μg), absorption spectra show a bathochromic shift with increasing polarity indicating that transition involved is π→π(∗) and Onsager cavity radius is determined by atomic increment method.

Abstract
In this report the dual amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) characteristics of coumarin 138 (C(138)) had been studied, under different solvent environments. The results obtained were compared with coumarin 461 (C(461)) and coumarin 450 (C(450)), which have closely related structure. The results showed that all these dyes could produce ASE from superexciplex - a new molecular species - formed only under high inversion densities, obtainable by pulsed laser excitation. We have strong indication that a superexciplex with TICT conformation is capable of producing strong ASE.

Abstract
The 3-carboxy-5,6-benzocoumarinic acid (BzCum) presents important emission properties that could make it suitable to be used as a fluorescence marker for proteins. Since the guest-cyclodextrin interaction can be used as a model for the ligand-protein interaction, the host-guest complexes of BzCum with alpha-, beta-, gamma-, 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (2-HP-beta-CD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin (2-HP-gamma-CD) were investigated by means of steady-state fluorescence measurements. As the guest may exist either in anionic or in neutral form, the experiments were performed at two different pH values, 9.48 and 2.11. The association constants and the stoichiometry of the complexes were estimated by non-linear regression analysis. A theoretical study of the complexes was made using molecular mechanics (MM) calculation methods. The electrostatic and van der Waals contributions to the energy were estimated and a discussion was made on this basis.

Abstract
Fluorescent molecular rotors belong to a group of twisted intramolecular charge transfer complexes (TICT) whose photophysical characteristics depend on their environment. In this study, the influence of solvent polarity and viscosity on several representative TICT compounds (three Coumarin derivatives, 4,4-dimethylaminobenzonitrile DMABN, 9-(dicyanovinyl)-julolidine DCVJ), was examined. While solvent polarity caused a bathochromic shift of peak emission in all compounds, this shift was lowest in the case of molecular rotors. Peak intensity was influenced strongly by solvent viscosity in DMABN and the molecular rotors, but polarity and viscosity influences cannot be separated with DMABN. Coumarins, on the other hand, did not show viscosity sensitivity. This study shows the unique suitability of molecular rotors as fluorescent viscosity sensors.

Abstract
In this paper, we show that a few coumarin dye solutions exhibit dual amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectra under pulsed laser excitation, though all these solutions exhibit only one fluorescence band under steady-state conditions. The anomalous band, appearing only in ASE spectra, had been attributed to the superexciplex--a new molecular species. This is made of two excited molecules and is obtainable only under pulsed laser excitation. This complex is different from the well known excimer or exciplex, wherein only one atom or molecule is in the excited state. The superexciplex is possible with the two polar excited molecules coming together to form an excited state association, with the solvent acting as some sort of bridge. With very polar dye molecules, such an association is possible even with the inert benzene acting as a bridge; otherwise solvents like ethyl acetate, with an oxygen atom, is necessary for the linkage.
