Direct observation of ultrafast long-range charge separation at polymer-fullerene heterojunctions
(2014)In polymeric semiconductors, charge carriers are polarons, which means that the excess charge deforms the molecular structure of the polymer chain that hosts it. This results in distinctive signatures in the vibrational ...

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in chlorine dioxide photochemistry: A time-resolved resonance Raman study
(2001)The geminate-recombination and vibrational-relaxation dynamics of chlorine dioxide (OClO) dissolved in ethanol and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) are investigated using time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. Stokes ...

Article
Modulating unimolecular charge transfer by exciting bridge vibrations
(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) ...

New antimony(III) halide complexes with dithiocarbamate ligands derived from thiuram degradation: The effect of the molecule's close contacts on in vitro cytotoxic activity
(2016)Antimony(III) halide complexes of the formulae {[SbBr(Me2DTC)2]n} (1), {[SbI(Me2DTC)2]n} (2) and {[(Me2DTC)2Sb(μ2-I)Sb(Me2DTC)2]+.I3-} (3) (Me2DTC = dimethyldithiocarbomate) were synthesized from SbX3, (X = Br or I) and ...

The origin of the Fe IV = O intermediates in cytochrome aa 3 oxidase
(2012)The dioxygen reduction mechanism in cytochrome oxidases relies on proton control of the electron transfer events that drive the process. Proton delivery and proton channels in the protein that are relevant to substrate ...

Probing nitrite coordination in horseradish peroxidase by resonance Raman spectroscopy: Detection of two binding sites
(2017)Nitrite is a powerful oxidant that affects the activity of peroxidases towards various substrates and leads to heme macrocycle modifications in members of the peroxidase family, such as the horseradish peroxidase (HRP). ...

Resonance Raman detection of the Fe2+-C-N modes in heme-copper oxidases: A probe of the active site
(2004)Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been employed to investigate the reduced cyano complexes of cytochrome aa3 from bovine heart and Rhodobacter sphaeroides and of cytochrome bo3 from E. coli. In the aa 3-type oxidases, the ...

Singlet hydrocarbon carbenes with high barriers toward isomerization: A computational investigation
(2003)A prerequisite for a stable singlet hydrocarbon carbene is the existence of high barriers toward isomerization. Four derivatives of cyclopentylidene (1-4) with rigid and varying carbon cages are examined computationally ...

Vibrational control of electron-transfer reactions: A feasibility study for the fast coherent transfer regime
(2015)Molecular vibrations and electron-vibrational interactions are central to the control of biomolecular electron and energy-transfer rates. The vibrational control of molecular electron-transfer reactions by infrared pulses ...
