HaloTag-Based Tools for Live-Cell Imaging and Elucidation of Organellar Redox Biology

Sarah Emmert

Redox homeostasis is a key factor in maintaining cellular function and health. The main determinant of the intracellular redox potential is ubiquitous glutathione (GSH) together with its oxidized dimer (GSSG). Importantly, both redox equilibrium and GSH ho ...

Radiative transfer in luminescent solar concentrators

Sophia Haussener, Sha Li

A luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) offers a viable solution to spectrally convert and concentrate both direct and diffuse sunlight without the need for tracking. Its potential for commercialization is currently limited by the optical performance. A det ...

Peptide-Hypervalent Iodine Reagent Chimeras: Enabling Peptide Functionalization and Macrocyclization

Jérôme Waser, Christian Heinis, Xinjian Ji, Xingyu Liu

Herein, we report a novel strategy for the modification of peptides based on the introduction of highly reactive hypervalent iodine reagents-ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs)-onto peptides. These peptide-EBXs can be readily accessed, by both solution- and soli ...

Isolation, Characterisation and Reactivity of N-Heterocyclic Diazoolefins

Paul Varava

Examples for applications of nitrous oxide in organic synthesis remain rare up until today. First mayor contributions of our group were published in 2012, when nitrous oxide was successfully captured by N-heterocyclic carbenes. Subsequent studies investiga ...

Remarkable Color Gamut Enhancement of Dye Lacquers Using Corrugated Surfaces

Olivier Martin, Sebastian Mader

The visual appearance of any colorized object is usually determined by the spectral absorption of either pigments or dyes. One can however also colorize objects with structural colors that typically have an iridescent appearance, as seen on many beetles. T ...

Learning the Exciton Properties of Azo-dyes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Alberto Fabrizio, Sergio Vela Llausi, Ksenia Briling

The ab initio determination of electronic excited state (ES) properties is the cornerstone of theoretical photochemistry. Yet, traditional ES methods become impractical when applied to fairly large molecules, or when used on thousands of systems. Machine l ...

Synthesis of NIR-Absorbing Squaraine Dyes and their Use in Organic Upconversion Devices

Karen Verena Strassel

Squaraines are organic dyes showing the advantages of a simple synthesis, high absorption coefficients and tunable bandgaps from the visible to the near-infrared (NIR) region. Their molecular structure is based on a polymethine chain and a donor-acceptor-d ...

Direct Photoexcitation of Ethynylbenziodoxolones: An Alternative to Photocatalysis for Alkynylation Reactions**

Jérôme Waser, Franck Le Vaillant, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos, Diana Cavalli

Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) are commonly used as radical traps in photocatalytic alkynylations. Herein, we report that aryl-substituted EBX reagents can be directly activated by visible light irradiation. They act as both oxidants and radical traps, alle ...

Carbazol-phenyl-phenothiazine-based sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Dan Ren, Lukas Pfeifer, Zhongjin Shen

Heteroaromatic units are commonly used as pi-spacers for sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Here, we investigated the influence of the pi-spacer on the photophysical properties, electrochemical properties and photovoltaic performance of car ...

Photocatalysis with organic dyes: facile access to reactive intermediates for synthesis

Jérôme Waser, Marion Marie-Agnès Garreau, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos, Luca Buzzetti

Organic dyes have emerged as a reliable class of photoredox catalysts. Their great structural variety combined with the easy finetuning of their electronic properties has unlocked new possibilities for the generation of reactive intermediates. In this revi ...

The Photoisomerization Pathway(s) of Push‐Pull Phenylazoheteroarenes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi

Azoheteroarenes are the most recent derivatives targeted to further improve the properties of azo‐based photoswitches. Their light‐induced mechanism for trans‐cis isomerization is assumed to be very similar to that of the parent azobenzene. As such, they i ...

Single-Photon, Time-Gated, Phasor-Based Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging through Highly Scattering Medium

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Arin Can Ülkü

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI) is increasingly recognized as a powerful tool for biochemical and cellular investigations, including in vivo applications. Fluorescence lifetime is an intrinsic characteristic of any fluorescent dye which, to a large ext ...

Oxidative Fluorination of Cyclopropylamides through Organic Photoredox Catalysis

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform cyclopropylamides and cyclobutylamides into fluorinated imines. The imines can be isolated in their more stable hemiaminal form, with the fluorine atom installed selectively at the gamma or delta po ...

Experimental demonstration of the water-holding property of three-dimensional vortices

When injecting dye into a vertical vortex generated by a commercial magnetic stirrer, one finds that dye remains captured around the vortex core over minutes, while it gets mixed with the water outside this region rather rapidly. Thus, considering its hori ...

Effect of Chaotropes on the Transfer of Ions and Dyes across the Liquid–Liquid Interface

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Evgeny Smirnov, Grégoire Clément Gschwend, Lucie Josette Renée Rivier

Chaotropes such as urea can break the structure of water, weakening the hydrophobic effect and reducing aggregation. Here, we investigated how the addition of urea affects the transfer of ions and cationic dyes across the interface between immiscible elect ...
