Thiazole Boron Difluoride Dyes with Large Stokes Shift, Solid State Emission and Room-Temperature Phosphorescence

Jieping Zhu, Wei Wang, Shuo Tong

The small Stokes shift and weak emission in the solid state are two main shortcomings associated with the boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) family of dyes. This study presents the design, synthesis and luminescent properties of boron difluoro complexes of 2-ar ...

Picometer Resolution Structure of the Coordination Sphere in the Metal-Binding Site in a Metalloprotein by NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Andrea Bertarello

Most of our understanding of chemistry derives from atomic-level structures obtained with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Metal centers in X-ray structures of small organometallic or coordination complexes are often extremely well-defined, with errors in ...

Statics and dynamics of multivalley charge density waves in Sb (111)

Davide Campi, Daniele Dragoni

Charge density waves (CDWs), periodic modulations of the charge density, are among the most abundant and non-trivial ordered phases in condensed matter. Here we demonstrate the occurrence of multi-valley charge density waves (MV-CDW) on the semimetal Sb(11 ...

Surface-Enhanced Hyper-Raman Scattering: A New Road to the Observation of Low Energy Molecular Vibrations

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

The plasmon enhancement of molecular hyper-Raman scattering, the nonlinear counterpart of Raman scattering, which involves the absorption of two fundamental photons, is investigated with emphasis on low energy molecular vibrations. The two-photon excitatio ...

High pressure phase transition in FeTe2O5Cl

Helmuth Berger

Raman and optical absorption spectra of FeTe2O5Cl at pressures (P) up to 5.9 GPa were measured in order to identify the point of pressure-induced structural phase transition and to compare the vibrational and optical properties of FeTe2O5Cl to those of FeT ...

Hyperpolarized Water to Study Protein-Ligand Interactions

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud

The affinity between a chosen target protein and small molecules is a key aspect of drug discovery. Screening by popular NMR methods such as Water-LOGSY suffers from low sensitivity and from false positives caused by aggregated or denatured proteins. This ...

The use of solid-phase fluorescence spectroscopy in the characterisation of organic matter transformations

Remy Jean Henry Albrecht

Given its high sensitivity and non-destructive nature, fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy is widely used to differentiate changes and transformations of dissolved or water-extracted organic matter (OM) in natural environments. The s ...
