Driving Force Dependent Photoinduced Charge Transfer Dynamics in Polymer-Wrapped Semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.
Journal Article Journal of the American Chemical Society · November 2025 We investigate the thermodynamic driving-force dependences of photoinduced charge separation (CS) and subsequent charge transfer dynamics in single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-perylenediimide (PDI) donor-acceptor (D-A) superstructures. Pump-probe spectro ... Full text CiteDesign of Light Driven Hole Bifurcating Proteins.
Journal Article ACS central science · October 2025 Electron bifurcation reactions divide electrons from two-electron donors into high- and low-energy pools by transporting charge on spatially separated low- and high-potential electron hopping pathways. Bifurcation delivers electrons at potentials that driv ... Full text CitePhoto-induced electron transfer dynamics and its mid-IR modulation of an ethyne bridged donor-acceptor complex.
Journal Article Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP · October 2025 Electron transfer (ET) in donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) complexes involving alkyne bridges features structural simplicity derived from the rigid and nearly linear donor-acceptor (D-A) geometry, and complexity derived from the torsion angle distribution with ...
