Photodecarbonylation of Diphenylcyclopropenone – a Direct Pathway to Electronically Excited Diphenylacetylene?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comparison of combined IR and UV/Vis pump-probe measurements of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) and diphenylacetylene (DPA) provides clear evidence that the photodecarbonylation of DPCP following excitation to its S2-state proceeds non-adiabatically to the electronic ground state of DPA. It is shown that transient absorption of electronically excited DPA is caused exclusively by photoexcitation of ground state DPA generated by preceding DPCP photodecarbonylation.

Transport properties of binary mixtures of carbon dioxide and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate studied by transient grating spectroscopy.
Transient grating spectroscopy was applied to measurements of sound velocity and thermal diffusivity in binary mixture solutions of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIm][PF(6)]) along the saturated line of CO(2) at 40 degrees C up to 20.0 MPa. The sound velocity decreased more than 10% by increasing the pressure to 10 MPa, and the pressure effect was...

Excited-state vibrational coherence of solution-phase polyatomic molecules was studied by two different timedomain spectroscopic methods. Raman-active low-frequency vibrations in the excited state of trans-stilbene were observed by transient impulsive stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy. In transient absorption spectroscopy with a 40-fs resolution, a different vibrational mode of the same ...
متن کاملNeutrophil Leukocyte: Combustive Microbicidal Action and Chemiluminescence
Neutrophil leukocytes protect against a varied and complex array of microbes by providing microbicidal action that is simple, potent, and focused. Neutrophils provide such action via redox reactions that change the frontier orbitals of oxygen (O2) facilitating combustion. The spin conservation rules define the symmetry barrier that prevents direct reaction of diradical O2 with nonradical molecu...
متن کاملPersistent order due to transiently enhanced nesting in an electronically excited charge density wave.
Non-equilibrium conditions may lead to novel properties of materials with broken symmetry ground states not accessible in equilibrium as vividly demonstrated by non-linearly driven mid-infrared active phonon excitation. Potential energy surfaces of electronically excited states also allow to direct nuclear motion, but relaxation of the excess energy typically excites fluctuations leading to a r...

Enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT (6,5) and SWCNT (7,6)) and HiPco nanotubes were covalently functionalized with either zinc phthalocyanine or silicon phthalocyanine as electron donors. The synthetic strategy resulted in edge-on and face-on geometries with respect to the phthalocyanine geometry, with both phthalocyanines held by an electronically conducting diphenyla...
