Fig. 3: Fluorescence and absorption spectra.

Absorption (dashed) and photoluminescence (solid) spectra of Np-P4VB in a cyclohexane, b pure DMF, c DMF with 500 mM Zn(NO3)2, d DMF saturated (~100 mM) with Hg(NO3)2, and e DMF with 500 mM HCl. The concentration of the chromophore for absorption measurements was 0.1 mM, while that for PL measurements was 2 mM (0.7 mM for cyclohexane). The insets show photographs of the luminescence corresponding to the spectrum for each panel
