      Modulating unimolecular charge transfer by exciting bridge vibrations 

      Lin, Z.; Lawrence, C. M.; Xiao, D.; Kireev, V. V.; Skourtis, Spiros S.; Sessler, J. L.; Beratan, David N.; Rubtsov, I. V. (2009)
      (Figure Presented) Ultrafast UV-vibrational spectroscopy was used to investigate how vibrational excitation of the bridge changes photoinduced electron transfer between donor (dimethylaniline) and acceptor (anthracene) ...

      Steering electrons on moving pathways. 

      Beratan, David N.; Skourtis, Spiros S.; Balabin, I. A.; Balaeff, A.; Keinan, S.; Venkatramani, R.; Xiao, D. (2009)
      Electron transfer (ET) reactions provide a nexus among chemistry, biochemistry, and physics. These reactions underpin the "power plants" and "power grids" of bioenergetics, and they challenge us to understand how evolution ...

      Turning charge transfer on and off in a molecular interferometer with vibronic pathways 

      Xiao, D.; Skourtis, Spiros S.; Rubtsov, I. V.; Beratan, David N. (2009)
      Inelastic electron-transfer kinetics in molecules with electron donor and acceptor units connected by a bridge is expected to be sensitive to bridge-localized vibronic interactions. Here, we show how inelastic electron ...
