Briggs, Edward A. and Besley, Nicholas A. (2015) A density functional theory based analysis of photoinduced electron transfer in a triazacryptand

The electronic structure and photoinduced electron transfer processes in a K+ fluorescent sensor that comprises a 4-amino-naphthalimide derived fluorophore with a triazacryptand ligand is investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in order to rationalise the function of the sensor. The absorption and emission energies of the intense e...

(EOL), has now become available online. The project, coordinated by a secretariat at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC, plans to create pages containing the estimated 1.8 million known species of organism on the planet, when completed. The plan is to include data on distribution, behaviours and endangered status, to further help researchers. The mass of data is being drawn from a varie...

be traced back to My Family and Other Animals. “That book and his subsequent books bred a whole generation of zoologists,” says Lee Durrell. And although captive breeding has its critics, there is no doubt for some species it has been crucial. A report last month from BirdLife International described the existence of 31 bird species in conservation efforts, including captive breeding. Californi...
