[reaction: see text] We have designed and synthesized difunctionalized dendrimers containing two donors in the periphery and an acceptor at the core to serve as scaffolds for comparison with linear analogues to investigate the advantage of dendritic scaffolds for energy and charge transfer. Comparison of these dendrimers with the fully decorated dendrimers provides information on the advantage ...

We report 11 μs of molecular dynamics simulations of the electron-transfer reaction between primary and secondary quinone cofactors in the bacterial reaction center. The main question addressed here is the mechanistic reason for unidirectional electron transfer between chemically identical cofactors. We find that electron is trapped at the secondary quinone by wetting of the protein pocket foll...

the complex formed as a consequence of the interaction between the electron-acceptor p-chloranilic acid and an electron donor tamoxifen citrate was employed in the assay of the drug in pure powder and tablets. chloranilic acid was found to form a charge-transfer complex in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, with tamoxifen citrate. the wavelength of maximum absorption for the complex was found to be 55...

Having a strong electron-withdrawing ability, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) was used to create net positive charge for carbon atoms in the nanotube carbon plane via intermolecular charge transfer. The resultant PDDA functionalized/adsorbed carbon nanotubes (CNTs), either in an aligned or nonaligned form, were demonstrated to act as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction react...

The ultrafast vibrational dynamics of the photoinduced charge-transfer reaction between perylene (Per) and perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI) were investigated using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). Specifically probing the structural dynamics of PDI following its selective photoexcitation in a covalently linked dyad reveals vibrational modes uniquely characteristic to ...

based on the {s+, i-} pathway, the concentration of surfactant and surface charge density of silanolate groups control the phase transition from lamellar, to hexagonal through cubic form. the high surface charge density of silanolate groups was observed for the lamellar phase. with decrease of molar concentration of surfactant on the gel, the yield of reaction decreases and the stability of mes...

A physical model is developed for the charge transfer boundary condition in semi-insulating liquids. The boundary condition is based upon interfacial chemical reactions and extends established relations for the interface by including the effects of interfacial surface charge and charge desorption at the interface. A steady state model for flow electrification in a rotating cylindrical electrode...
