Article Abstract

The H + HeH→ He + H reaction has been studied by means of a combination of theoretical approaches: a statistical quantum method (SQM), ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD), and the quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) method. Cross sections and rate constants have been calculated in an attempt to investigate the dynamics of the process. The comparison with previous calculations and experimental results reveals that despite the fact that statistical predictions seem to reproduce some of the overall observed features, the analysis at a more detailed state-to-state level shows noticeable deviations from a complex-forming dynamics. We find some differences in cross sections and rate constants obtained in the QCT calculation with a Gaussian binning procedure with respect to previous works in which the standard histogram binning was employed.

The one-photon KV X-ray photoelectron spectra of Na and its hydrated clusters [Na(HO)] ( = 1-6) are dominated by the unusual 1s → 1s3s transition. KV spectroscopy also reveals a pronounced redistribution of the 1s → 1s3p transition cross sections, directly correlated with hydration number and molecular arrangement. Its intrinsic two-step nature, involving simultaneous core ionization and core excitation, enables detailed investigation of solvation-induced electronic structure changes, including dipole-forbidden excitations, core-valence charge transfer, and subtle 1s → V energy shifts.

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Unsymmetric Aromatically π-Extended BODIPY.

A series of unsymmetrically substituted BODIPY dyes featuring fused benzo- or naphtho-fragments on one pyrrolic unit were synthesized from the corresponding pyrrolic precursors. The synthetic route was optimized using a modular approach based on the condensation of formylpyrroles with alkylpyrroles, enabling the identification of precursor combinations that minimize byproduct formation and improve preparative yields. The resulting benzo- and naphtho-fused BODIPYs display intense fluorescence in the red region, with emission maxima spanning 590-680 nm and fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 0.

Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM) is a technique that combines specific immunolabeling with high-resolution electron microscopic imaging to achieve precise spatial localization of biomolecules at the subcellular scale (< 10 nm) by using high-electron-density markers such as colloidal gold and quantum dots. As a core tool for analyzing the distribution of proteins, organelle interactions, and localization of disease pathology markers, it has irreplaceable value, especially in synapse research, pathogen-host interaction mechanism, and tumor microenvironment analysis. According to the differences in labeling sequence and sample processing, the IEM technology system can be divided into two categories: the first is pre-embedding labeling, which optimizes the labeling efficiency through the pre-exposure of antigenic epitopes and is especially suitable for the detection of low-abundance and sensitive antigens; the second is post-embedding labeling, which relies on the low-temperature resin embedding (e.
