The photophysical properties of Ir(III) corroles differ from those of phosphorescent porphyrin complexes, cyclometalated and polyimine Ir(III) compounds, and other luminescent metallocorroles. Ir(III) corrole phosphorescence is observed at ambient temperature at wavelengths much longer (>800 nm) than those of most Ir(III) phosphors. The solvatochromic behavior of Ir(III)-corrole Soret and Q abs...

In this article we derive expressions for Casimir-like pressures induced by nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations in liquid mixtures. The results are then applied to liquid mixtures in which the concentration gradient results from a temperature gradient through the Soret effect. A comparison is made between the pressures induced by nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations in liquid mixture...

We present the thermodiffusion, molecular diffusion and Soret coefficients of several binary and ternary mixtures of DCMIX project. All measurements were carried out at 25oC and two experimental techniques have been used such as the thermogravitational column technique (TGC) and the Sliding symmetric Tubes technique (SST). In addition the thermophysical properties of analysed mixtures have been...

Whole-cell catalysts for non-natural chemical reactions will open new routes to sustainable production of chemicals. We designed a cytochrome 'P411' with unique serine-heme ligation that catalyzes efficient and selective olefin cyclopropanation in intact Escherichia coli cells. The mutation C400S in cytochrome P450(BM3) gives a signature ferrous CO Soret peak at 411 nm, abolishes monooxygenatio...

Direct visualization of microvasculature provides significant insights in microcirculation and critically impacts the diagnosis and treatment of microcirculatory diseases. Recently, we discovered that the high-energy Soret fluorescence of hemoglobin peaked at 438 nm with an extremely short lifetime becomes strongly visible under two-photon excitation. Based on the distinct spectral and temporal...
