Photon harvesting by excimer-forming multichromophores.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A light-harvesting system based on a DNA-organized oligopyrene-cyanine complex is described. Energy transfer from the pyrene units to the cyanine dye was found to proceed via FRET from locally confined excimers to the acceptor.

Single-shot autocorrelator for KrF subpicosecond pulses based on two-photon fluorescence of cadmium vapor at lambda = 508 nm.
By excitation of cadmium vapor with a high-peak-power KrF excimer laser pulse, fluorescence of an atomic transition at lambda = 508 nm is induced by a two-photon ionization process followed by fast recombination. The nonlinear response of the medium is used to develop a simple single-shot autocorrelator for subpicosecond KrF excimer laser pulses operating down to intensities of less than 10(9)W...
متن کاملExcimer formation in cofacial and slip-stacked perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) dimers on a redox-inactive triptycene scaffold.
Excitation energy transfer in perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI) aggregates is of interest for light-harvesting applications of this strongly absorbing and π-π stacking chromophore. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of two PDI dimers in which the chromophores are covalently linked by a redox-inactive triptycene bridge in orientations that are cofacial (1) and slip-stacke...
متن کاملExcimer fluorescence of pyrene-maleimide-labeled tubulin.
Excimer-forming cysteines in tubulin are detected by the presence of excimer fluorescence in N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide-labeled tubulin. The ratio of excimer/monomer fluorescence of labeled protein remained unchanged upon its dilution. These results indicating that both partner of each pair(s) of cysteine are located in the same subunit. The excimer fluorescence is insensitive to prior treatment of...
متن کاملOptimization of excimer-forming two-probe nucleic acid hybridization method with pyrene as a fluorophore.
A previously presented homogeneous assay method, named the excimer-forming two-probe nucleic acid hybridization (ETPH) method, is based on specific excimer formation between two pyrenes attached at the neighboring terminals of two sequential probe oligonucleotides complementary to a single target. In this study, we investigated assay conditions and optimal molecular design of probes for intense...
متن کاملWavelength dependence of UV-laser induced emission of neutral and ionic species from single crystal NaNO3
We report time-resolved, quadrupole mass-selected measurements of neutral and ion emission from single crystal sodium nitrate exposed to ns pulse excimer laser radiation at 157 nm (F2 excimer, 7.9 eV photons), 193 nm (ArF excimer, 6.4 eV photons) and 248 nm (KrF excimer, 5.0 eV photons). Neutral emissions, including NO, O2, N2, and Na are observed at all three wavelengths. At 193 nm, intense at...
