Light and chemical oscillations: review and perspectives
Publication date: Available online 10 November 2019Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry ReviewsAuthor(s): Pier Luigi Gentili, Jean-Claude MicheauAbstractWhen UV-visible radiation interacts with matter, it can play as either a pump, or a developer, or a signal. In this paper, we show that when UV-visible radiation interacts with very-far-from-equilibrium systems, it can exert its threefold role. It can originate oscillations when it works as a pump. It can track the hydrodynamics of fluids by inducing fluorescence or colour formation of specific probes when it works as a developer. Finally, i...

Inner Filter Effect in Fluorescence Spectroscopy: As a Problem and as a Solution
This article discusses three aspects of inner filter effect (IFE) in fluorescence spectroscopy. (i) First, IFE as undesirable in fluorescence measurements: IFE results in non-linear fluorescence response of the analyte under study and it has been verified that IFE cannot be eliminated; it can either be minimized or corrected for intensity loss. Over the years, researchers have proposed many intensity correction methods to avoid IFE related issues. Often analysts using fluorescence spectroscopy, knowingly or unknowingly, ignore IFE or use an inappropriate intensity correction method. Herein, we have highlighted the basis an...
