Conventional photoredox catalytic additions of alcohols to olefins require additives, like thiophenol, promote back electron transfer. The concept “photozymes” assumes that forward and backward transfer steps in a cycle are controllable by substrate binding photocatalytically active peptides. Accordingly, we synthesized short tripeptide modified with 1,7-dicyano-perylene-3,4 : 9,10-tetracarboxy...

We find that survey evidence on faculty pay-cycle choice strongly contradicts the neoclassical theory of consumer behavior. It is more favorable to the behavioral life-cycle theory of Shefrin and Thaler (1988). JEL: D12

Abstract The aim was to explore potential differences on ghrelin plasm concentrations between efficient and inefficient lambs within a transient surge of secretion just before scheduled meal feeding. Six high- (256±19 g) six low-RFI (-242±19 Hampshire entire male (Age=168±2 d BW=63±5 kg) were taken out 25 individuals in 56-d GrowSafe SystemsÒ feeding trial. After 10-d adaptation once-daily ad-l...

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are emitted from a variety of sources and can accumulate on and within surface soil layers. To investigate the level of potential risk posed by surface contaminated soils, vertical soil column experiments were conducted to assess the mobility, when leached with simulated rainwater, of six selected PAHs (naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(e)py...

A perylene ligand, N,N-bis-(1-aminopropyl-3-propylimidazol salt)-3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid diimide ligand (PDI), which consisted of π-conjugated perylene moiety and hydrophilic side chains with positively charged imidazole rings, was used to wrap G-quadruplex for fluorescence turn-on K(+) recognition. Electrostatic attraction between PDI's positively charged imidazole rings and DNA...

Chemical doping of an electron transporter results in the formation of a radical anion containing semiconductor which showed high electron mobility (13 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) at low operating voltage (1 V).

We investigated the capability of molecular triads, consisting of two strong fluorophores that were covalently linked to a photochromic molecule, for optical gating. Therefore we monitored the fluorescence intensity of the fluorophores as a function of the isomeric state of the photoswitch. From the analysis of our data we develop a kinetic model that allows us to predict quantitatively the deg...

Femtosecond fluorescence dynamics imaging microscopy was performed. Femtosecond fluorescence dynamics images were constructed based on the "mean" fluorescence decay or rise time constants that were evaluated by the time-resolved intensity sampling using a fluorescence up-conversion microscope. This dynamics imaging microscopy was carried out for the organic microcrystals alpha-perylene and tetr...

This review provides an update on advances in the area of electrical mode sensors using organic small molecule n-type semiconductors based perylene. Among molecules, perylene diimides (PDIs) are important class materials due to their outstanding thermal, chemical, electronic, and optical properties, all which make them promising candidates for a wide range electronic devices including sensors, ...
