Nanomagnetic control of intersystem crossing.
نویسنده
چکیده
A theory is presented for how magnetic nanostructures can catalyze intersystem crossing in molecular radical pairs. Magnetic field gradients near physically realistic nanostructures are strong enough to induce a relative reorientation of two electronic spins in <1 ns, overwhelming nuclear hyperfine coupling as a driver of intersystem crossing. Nanomagnetic control of intersystem crossing represents a form of heterogeneous catalysis that does not require molecular contact, but only short-range magnetic coupling.

A DFT and multi-configurational perturbation theory study on O2 binding to a model heme compound via the spin-change barrier.
Dioxygen binding to a model heme compound via intersystem crossing (ISC) was investigated with a multi-state multi-configurational self-consistent field method with second-order perturbation theory (MS-CASPT2) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In elongated Fe-O distances, the energy levels of the S0 and T1 states are separated, which decreases the probability of intersystem cros...
متن کاملThe Role of Intersystem Crossing Steps in Singlet Oxygen Chemistry and Photo-oxidations
Atict-Singlet oxygen chemistry and photo-oxidation reactions, in general, often require one or more critical reaction steps that involve an intersystem crossing from a singlet state to a triplet state or vice versa. This paper considers two important intersystem crossing mechanisms, electron spin+lectron orbit (spinorbit) coupling and electron spin-nuclear spin (spin-spin) coupling, and how the...
متن کاملDirect observation of intersystem crossing in a thermally activated delayed fluorescence copper complex in the solid state
Intersystem crossing in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials is an important process that controls the rate at which singlet states convert to triplets; however, measuring this directly in TADF materials is difficult. TADF is a significant emerging technology that enables the harvesting of triplets as well as singlet excited states for emission in organic light emitting dio...
متن کاملNanosecond Intersystem Crossing Times in Fullerene Acceptors: Implications for Organic Photovoltaic Diodes
Triplet-exciton formation through intersystem crossing of photogenerated singlet excitons in fullerene acceptors can compete with charge generation in organic photovoltaic diodes. This article reports the intersystem crossing timescale (τISC ) of the most commonly used fullerene acceptors, PC60 BM and PC70 BM, in solutions and in spin-coated films. These times are on the nanosecond timescale, a...
متن کاملPicosecond Laser Studies on the Effect of Structure and Environment on Intersystem Crossing in Aromatic Carbenes
A large solvent polarity effect on the rate of singlet to triplet intersystem crossing (ksT) has been observed in the carbenes, diphenylcarbene (DPC) and dicycloheptadienylidene (DCHD)it is found that both ksT and the energy splitting (A&T) separtaing the singlet and triplet states decrease as the solvent polarity increases for the aromatic carbenes. This “inverse” gap effect, i.e. the time for...
