Article Abstract
In MLCT chromophores, internal conversion (IC) in the form of hole reconfiguration pathways (HR) is a major source of dissipation of the absorbed photon energy. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize their impact in energy conversion schemes by slowing them down. According to previous findings on {Ru(bpy)} chromophores, donor-acceptor interactions between the Ru ion and the ligand scaffold might allow to control HR/IC rates. Here, a series of [Ru(tpm)(bpy)(R-py)] chromophores, where tpm is tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane, bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine and R-py is a 4-substituted pyridine, were prepared and fully characterized employing electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, steady-state absorption/emission spectroscopy and electronic structure computations based on DFT/TD-DFT. Their excited-state decay was monitored using nanosecond and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. HR/IC lifetimes as slow as 568 ps were obtained in DMSO at room temperature, twice as slow as in the reference species [Ru(tpm)(bpy)(NCS)].

The structure of the 1:1 cocrystal formed between 1-bromo-3,5-di-nitro-benzene and ,-di-methyl-pyridin-4-amine that features a C-Br⋯N halogen bond is reported. The cocrystal, CHBrNO·CHN, crystalizes in the monoclinic space group 2/ with = 4. Hirshfeld surface analysis and inter-molecular inter-action energies within the cocrystal structure are reported.

However, current non-covalent RNA dyes are poorly selective for RNA over DNA, interact weakly with their target, and can show limited utility in cellular RNA staining due to poor selectivity and high background signals. Here we report a fluorogenic covalent labeling approach based on acylimidazole-mediated reaction of donor-acceptor fluorophores with 2'-hydroxyl (2'-OH) groups of RNA, providing a wavelength-tunable, sequence-independent strategy for selective labeling of the biopolymer.

Accurate and efficient simulation of photoinduced dynamics in materials remains a significant challenge due to the computational cost of excited-state electronic structure calculations and the necessity to account for excitonic effects. In this work, we present a machine learning (ML)-accelerated approach to nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations that incorporates excitonic effects by predicting excited-state wave functions via configuration interaction coefficients and excitation energies using a graph neural network (GNN) architecture. The GNN model leverages molecular orbital information from ground-state calculations to construct input graphs, enabling efficient and accurate prediction of relevant excited-state wave functions and energies required for ab initio-based fewest-switches surface hopping simulations.

Charge and energy transport within living systems are fundamental processes that enable the autonomous function of excitable cells and tissues. To date, localized control of these transport processes has been enabled by genetic modification approaches to render light sensitivity to cells. Here, we present peptidic nanoassemblies as constituents of a cardiac biomaterial platform that leverages complementary sequence interactions to direct photoinduced energy transport at the cellular interface.

Development of novel photocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide (HO) production from water and oxygen is gathering great attention, but still suffers from inefficient photogenerated charge mobility. Reticular chemistry in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provides a promising platform to enhance the charge-transfer kinetics by assembling a donor-acceptor (D-A) system. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of D-A type MOFs (UiO-67-NB, UiO-67-PE/BB, and UiO-67-PE/NB) via regulating the interaction mode of donor and acceptor.
