A series of perylene diimide (PDI) derivatives have been investigated at the CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d) and the TD-B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) levels to design solar cell acceptors with high performance in areas such as suitable frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energies to match oligo(thienylenevinylene) derivatives and improved charge transfer properties. The calculated results reveal that the substituents slig...

Alkali-labile lesion to DNA photosensitized, via an electron transfer mechanism, by three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ketoprofen, tiaprofenic acid and naproxen and their photoproducts during drug photolysis, was investigated using (32)P-end labelled synthetic oligonucleotide. These photooxidative damages were correlated with the photophysical and electrochemical properties o...

We explore solvent dynamics effects in interfacial bond breaking electron transfer in terms of a multimode approach and make an attempt to interpret challenging recent experimental results (the nonmonotonous behavior of the rate constant of electroreduction of S2O8(2-) from mixed water-EG solutions when increasing the EG fraction; see Zagrebin, P.A. et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2010, 114, 311). The ...

the complex formed as a consequence of the interaction between the electron-acceptor p-chloranilic acid and an electron donor tamoxifen citrate was employed in the assay of the drug in pure powder and tablets. chloranilic acid was found to form a charge-transfer complex in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, with tamoxifen citrate. the wavelength of maximum absorption for the complex was found to be 55...

this paper presents a systematic study of the surface chemistry, porous texture and adsorptive characteristics of prepared new activated carbon using persian mesquite grain. several techniques and methodologies such as, proximate analysis, n2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscope (sem), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray photoe...

In this study, the effects of fluorine treatment on surface properties, surface free energies, and dielectric constants of polyimide thin films were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angles, and dielectric characteristics, respectively. The glass transition temperature of fluorinated polyimide film gradually decreases with increasing fluorine pressure. The surface free ene...
