Study Notes
Fluorescence Spectroscopy: Key Concepts and Principles
- Fluorophores exist in two ionization states with different absorption and emission spectra
- Kasha’s Rule states that molecules emit from the S2 level
- Symmetry of absorbance and emission spectra results from the same transitions and similar vibrational energy levels
- Quantum yield measures emitted photons relative to absorbed photons, while lifetime determines interaction time
- Fluorescence quenching decreases intensity, with collisional quenching occurring upon contact with other molecules
- Stern-Volmer equation calculates quenching constants and unquenched lifetime based on quencher concentration
- Common quenchers include O2, halogens, amines, and electron-deficient molecules
- Static quenching occurs when fluorophores form nonfluorescent complexes with quenchers
- Quenching provides insight into the role of excited-state lifetime in detecting dynamic processes
- Franck-Condon principle explains rapid absorption and longer emission timescales
- Fluorescence anisotropy is the directional dependence of fluorescence properties
- Anisotropy contrasts with isotropy, which indicates homogeneity in all directions
