Charge transfer in DNA*
In the past few decades, charge transfer in DNA has attracted considerable attention from researchers in a wide variety of fields ranging from bioscience and physical chemistry to nanotechnology. Charge transfer in DNA has been investigated using various techniques. Among them, time-resolved spectroscopic methods have provided information on chargetransfer dynamics in DNA, an important basis fo...
متن کاملSolvent effects on the ultrafast dynamics and spectroscopy of the charge-transfer-to-solvent reaction of sodide
In ‘‘outer sphere’’ electron transfer reactions, motions of the solvent molecules surrounding the donor and acceptor govern the dynamics of charge flow. Are the relevant solvent motions determined simply by bulk solvent properties such as dielectric constant or viscosity? Or are molecular details, such as the local solvent structure around the donor and acceptor, necessary to understand how sol...
متن کاملCharge transfer and transport in DNA.
We explore charge migration in DNA, advancing two distinct mechanisms of charge separation in a donor (d)-bridge ([Bj])-acceptor (a) system, where [Bj] = B1,B2, . , BN are the N-specific adjacent bases of B-DNA: (i) two-center unistep superexchange induced charge transfer, d*[Bj]a --> d[Bj]a+/-, and (ii) multistep charge transport involves charge injection from d* (or d+) to [Bj], charge hoppin...
متن کاملSolvent Dependence of Lateral Charge Transfer in a Porphyrin Monolayer
Lateral charge transport in a redox-active monolayer can be utilized for solar energy harvesting. A model porphyrin system was chosen to study the influence of the solvent on lateral hole hopping, which plays a crucial role in the charge-transfer kinetics. We examined the influence of water, acetonitrile, and propylene carbonate as solvents. Hole-hopping lifetimes varied by nearly 3 orders of m...
متن کاملCharge effects on oxygen atom transfer.
The rhenium(V) complex [(HCpz3)ReOCl2]+ ([1]+), the tris(pyrazolyl)methane analogue of the known tris(pyrazolyl)borate complex (HBpz3)ReOCl2 (2), has been prepared. The two complexes are strikingly similar, as are the phosphine oxide adducts [(HCpz3)ReCl2(OPPh3)]Cl ([3]Cl) and (HBpz3)ReCl2(OPPh3) (4), which have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Comparison of the bimolecular reductio...
