Tracking Chirality during Molecular Motor Photoisomerization via Simulated Time-Resolved Circular Dichroism
Leonardo Biancorosso, Ali Hassanali, Mauro Stener +3
Ultrafast spectroscopic techniques are widely used to investigate photoinduced processes, yet they remain largely blind to molecular chirality. Here we introduce a framework for si…
Investigating the Role of pH and Counterions in the Intrinsic Fluorescence of Solid-State L-Lysine
Marta Monti, Luca Cimmino, Gonzalo DÃaz Mirón +6
There is currently a growing interest in understanding the origins of intrinsic fluorescence as a way to design non-invasive probes for biophysical processes. In this regard, under…
Deconstructing the Origins of Interfacial Catalysis: Why Electric Fields are Inseparable from Solvation
Solana Di Pino, Debarshi Banerjee, Marta Monti +3
In the last decade, there has been a surge of experiments showing that certain chemical reactions undergo an enormous boost when taken from bulk aqueous conditions to microdroplet…
Defects at Play: Shaping the Photophysics and Photochemistry of Ice
Marta Monti, Yu Jin, Gonzalo DÃaz Mirón +4
The mechanisms by which light interacts with ice and the impact of photo-induced reactions are central to our understanding of environmental, atmospheric and astrophysical processe…
Turning on the Light: Polymorphism-Induced Photoluminescence in Cysteine Crystals
Debarshi Banerjee, Sonika Chibh, Om Shanker Tiwari +8
Photoluminescence of non-aromatic supramolecular chemical assemblies has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its potential for use in molecular sensing and imag…
