Symmetry and Rigidity for Boosting Erbium-Based Molecular Light-Upconversion in Solution

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Alexandre Fürstenberg

Previously limited to highly symmetrical homoleptic triple-helical complexes [Er(Lk)3]3+, where Lk are polyaromatic tridentate ligands, single-center molecular-based upconversion using linear optics and exploiting the excited-state absorption mechanism (ES ...

DNA-Liposome Hybrid Carriers for Triggered Cargo Release

Diana Kornelia Morzy

The design of simple and versatile synthetic routes to accomplish triggered-release properties in carriers is of particular interest for drug delivery purposes. In this context, the programmability and adaptability of DNA nanoarchitectures in combination w ...

Thiazole Boron Difluoride Dyes with Large Stokes Shift, Solid State Emission and Room-Temperature Phosphorescence

Jieping Zhu, Wei Wang, Shuo Tong

The small Stokes shift and weak emission in the solid state are two main shortcomings associated with the boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) family of dyes. This study presents the design, synthesis and luminescent properties of boron difluoro complexes of 2-ar ...

Block Copolymer Stabilized Liquid Nanodroplets Facilitate Efficient Triplet Fusion-Based Photon Upconversion in Solid Polymer Matrices

Felipe Andres Saenz Padilla

Sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon upconversion is a photo-physical process that affords anti-Stokes-shifted emission after annihilation of two metastable triplet excitons of an emitter dye and the formation of a fluorescent singlet state ...

Detection and Quantification of Nonlabeled Polystyrene Nanoparticles Using a Fluorescent Molecular Rotor

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Angélique Emmanuelle Moraz

Plastic pollution has reached alarming levels in recent years. While macro- and microplastic pollution are attested and studied since the 1970s, much less is known about the associated nanoscopic fragments. Due to their ability to cross biological barriers ...

Critical role of H-aggregation for high-efficiency photoinduced charge generation in pristine pentamethine cyanine salts

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Frank Nüesch, George Cameron Fish, Juan Manuel Moreno Naranjo

The mechanism of photoinduced symmetry-breaking charge separation in solid cyanine salts at the base of organic photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices is still debated. Here, we employ femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) to monitor the cha ...

Optical properties and photochemical production of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen after ozonation of dissolved organic matter

Urs von Gunten, Frank Jonathan Leresche

This study focuses on the effects of ozonation on the optical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in light absorption properties of DOM was observed concomitantly with a large increase in singlet oxyge ...

Simplified Instrument Calibration forWide-FieldFluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) Measured by the Sensitized Emission Method

Forster (or fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a quantifiable energy transfer in which a donor fluorophore nonradiatively transfers its excitation energy to an acceptor fluorophore. A change in FRET efficiency indicates a change of proximity ...

Ultrafast Photoelectron and Optical Spectroscopies of Photoinduced Processes in Molecular Systems in Solution

Luca Longetti

Investigating molecular excitations with femtosecond time resolution is of pivotal importance to understand the out-of-equilibrium processes taking place in molecular systems upon light absorption. The photochemistry of solvated species is heavily determin ...
