We have evaluated the strength of aromatic donor-acceptor interactions between dialkyl naphthalenediimide and dialkoxynaphthalene in non-polar environments. (1)H NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry were used to characterise this interaction. We concluded that the strength of donor-acceptor interactions in heptane is sufficient to drive supramolecular assemblies in this...

the solvatochromism of fluoresceine and its derivatives was studied in solvents of different hydrogen bond donor (hbd), hydrogen bond acceptor (hba), donor number (dn) and acceptor number (an) by their uv-vis spectra. results showed that position, intensity and shape of absorption bands change with type of solvent. these changes can be rationalized by solvatochromic parameters such as α, β, et ...

The rate of nonadiabatic long-distance electron transfer ~ET! is derived for the direct and superexchange electronic coupling between the donor and acceptor. The model takes into account a non-Condon thermal modulation of the electronic coupling through the interaction of the system transition dipoles with the polarization fluctuations of the solvent. Going from a linear donor– bridge–acceptor ...

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a technique used for the study of functional interactions between molecules. The intimate vicinity between two fluorescent molecules (FRET-pair; donor and acceptor) allows for an energy transfer, which can be directly calculated as the so called FRET efficiency. This technique is used in fixed as well as living cells. Here we show first, measured...

To investigation non-bonded interaction of the [CuF4]2- complex inside nanoring, we focus on the single wall boron-nitride B18N18 nanoring. Thus, the geometry of B18N18 nanoring has been optimized by B3LYP method with EPR-II basis set and geometry of the [CuF4]2- complex has been optimized at B3LYP method with Def2-TZVP basis set and Stuttgart RSC 1997 Effective Core Potential. Also electronic ...

A large effort is being made to develop nanosorbents with tunable surface chemistry for enhanced adsorption affinity and selectivity toward target organic contaminants. Heteroatom N-doped multiwall carbon nanotubes (N-MCNT) were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition of pyridine and were further investigated for the adsorptive removal of several aromatic chemicals varying in electronic donor ...

We previously proposed that HIV-1 minus strand transfer occurs by an acceptor invasion-initiated multi-step mechanism. During synthesis of minus strong stop DNA, reverse transcriptase (RT) transiently pauses at the base of TAR before continuing synthesis. Pausing promotes RT-RNase H cleavage of the donor RNA, exposing regions of the cDNA. The acceptor RNA then invades at these locations to inte...
