โœฆ Synopsis


Energy transfer in nucleic acids or polynucleotides at room temperature can be studied by using the fluorescence of complexed terbium (111) as a tool. Complexing the heavy atom thallium (I) enhances energy transfer from poly(G) to terbium (1111. Thallium has no effect on transfer from GMP to terbium and a small negative effect on the transfer from single-stranded DNA to terbium. Use of the Medinger-Wilkinson model to analyze the poly(G) results provides an estimate of the room-temperature intersystem crossing constant.

The kinetics and pathway for the energy transfer from acetylacetonate (acac) to Tb3+ encapsulated in the macrocyclic cage of a cryptand in aqueous solution is established by time-resolved picosecond laser spectroscopy. The direct energy transfer from the 'XII\* state of acac to the Tb3+ ion has been
