The influence of geometry variations and solvent environment of N-methylacetamide on its energies and absorption intensities was systematically analyzed with the aid of the time-dependent density functional theory (TD DFT). Selective and often complicated reactions of individual electronic levels on the perturbations were found important for the resultant spectral profile. For example, the n-pi...

The electronic absorption profiles of 3-cyano-1,5-diarylformazans were recorded in different organic solvents having different polarities. Both macroscopic and microscopic aspects were contemplated to determine the influence of various solute-solvent interactions upon absorption spectral shifts. The effects of solvent polarity on the absorbance profiles of the compounds were evaluated. The mult...

well-defined crystalline pbse nanocubes and nanospheres have been synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method by using pb2+- edta and pb2+- oleylamine complexes at 180°c for different reaction times. composition and morphology of the samples have been characterized by means of xrd and sem. gradual release process of pb2+ from pb2+-edta and pb2+-oleylamine complexes can adjust the growth ra...

Femtosecond transient absorption measurements were performed on native and a series of reconstituted LH2 complexes from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila 10050 at room temperature. The reconstituted complexes contain chemically modified tetrapyrrole pigments in place of the native bacteriochlorophyll a-B800 molecules. The spectral characteristics of the modified pigments vary significantly, such that...

The so-called S* state has been suggested to play an important role in the photophysics of beta-carotene and other carotenoids in solution and photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, yet its origin has remained elusive. The present experiments employing temperature-dependent steady-state absorption spectroscopy and ultrafast pump-supercontinuum probe (PSCP) transient absorption measurements ...

Experimental and theoretical absorption spectra of [2-[2-[4-(dimethylamino) phenyl]ethenyl]-6-methyl-4H- pyran-4-ylidene]-propanedinitrile (DCM) have been studied. UV-Visible (UV-Vis.) absorption spectrum of DCM has been reported after its synthesis. Two relatively intense peaks appeared at 473 and 362 nm respectively. A theoretical investigation on the electronic structure of DCM is presented ...

Polarization spectroscopy of photochemically produced spectral holes has been used to obtain the line-narrowed spectrum of the first electronic transition of meso-tetraphenylporphin (TPP) in a PMMA matrix at 10 IL The spectral holes have been burned through irradiation with a pulsed dye laser into the spectral region of several vibronic transitions with overlapping inhomogeneous bands. The corr...
