Abstract Electronic interactions in donor-π-linker-acceptor systems with barbituric acid as an electron acceptor and possible donor were investigated to screen promising candidates a push–pull character based on experimental quantum chemical studies. The tautomeric properties of 5-benzylidenebarbituric derivatives studied NMR spectra, spectrophotometric determination the pKa values, calculation...

Electronic differentiations in Pd-catalyzed allylic substitutions are assessed computationally from transition structure models with electronically modified phospha-benzene-pyridine ligands. Although donor/acceptor substitutions at P and N ligand sites were expected to increase the site selectivity, i.e. the preference for "trans to P" attack at the allylic intermediate, acceptor/acceptor subst...

biotinylated antibody bound to streptavidin-coated donor beads and a second antibody conjugated to AlphaLISA acceptor beads. The binding of the two antibodies to the analyte brings donor and acceptor beads into proximity. Laser irradiation of donor beads at 680 nm generates a flow of singlet oxygen, triggering a cascade of chemical events in nearby acceptor beads, which results in a chemilumine...

We present a comprehensive investigation of acceptor impurities in GaN, based on first-principles total-energy calculations. Two main factors are identified that determine acceptor incorporation: the strength of chemical bonding between the acceptor and its neighbors ~which can be assessed by comparison with existing compounds! and the atomic size match between the acceptor and the host atom fo...

where t is time and 0(t) is the fluorescence decay function after a sudden excitation at time t = 0. Recently [1] we discussed the influence of excitation energy migration among donors on MFDT of donor molecules in a donor-acceptor system. Assuming that the interaction between an excited donor molecule and a non-excited donor or acceptor molecule (trap) is of dipole-dipole type [2], we obtained...

Charge migration along DNA molecules has attracted scientific interest for over half a century. Reports on possible high rates of charge transfer between donor and acceptor through the DNA, obtained in the last decade from solution chemistry experiments on large numbers of molecules, triggered a series of direct electrical transport measurements through DNA single molecules, bundles, and networ...

We present preliminary results showing electronic energy transfer (EET) between benzene and biacetyl and between naphthalene and anthracene in a supersonic jet expansion and in bichromophoric molecules in solution. Excitation of several vibronic levels of benzene (donor) in the presence of biacetyl (acceptor) shows quenching of benzene emission with simultaneous appearance of biacetyl fluoresce...
