Abstract

In this paper, a new class of two component white light emitting systems viz, JaB (java plum + beetroot) {I}, and CaB (carrot + beetroot) {II} were developed through resonance energy transfer (RET) phenomenon by using a fruit (java plum) and two vegetable (carrot and beetroot) extracts. In these white light emitting systems, java plum and carrot are the donors while beetroot is the acceptor. The primary fluorescent pigments present in the natural extracts (i.e., anthocyanin in java plum, β-carotene in carrot, and betanin in beetroot) were responsible for the white light emission. The CIE (Commission Internationale d’Eclairage) coordinates for I and II were {0.32, 0.34} and {0.33, 0.33}, respectively, in solution phase. Interestingly, the white light emission (WLE) was also achieved in agar-agar gel medium. In gel medium, the CIE values were {0.31, 0.34} and {0.33, 0.32} for I and II, respectively. The donor-acceptor distance (r) for I and II were found to be 0.5 and 0.4 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the rate of energy transfer was also quantified with the values of 2.78 × 109 s−1 for JaB (I) and 1.02 × 108 s−1 for CaB (II) systems. The mechanistic investigation of the two white light systems was further supported by DFT studies. Graphical Abstract: (Figure presented.)
