Radical-free hyperpolarized MRI using endogenously occurring pyruvate analogues and UV-induced nonpersistent radicals

Rolf Gruetter, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Lionel Pierre Arn, Andrea Capozzi, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Claudia Christina Zanella, Alice Radaelli

It was recently demonstrated that nonpersistent radicals can be generated in frozen solutions of metabolites such as pyruvate by irradiation with UV light, enabling radical-free dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization. Although pyruvate is endogenous, the ...

Photoisomerization of Linear and Stacked Isomers of a Charged Styryl Dye: A Tandem Ion Mobility Study

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

The photoisomerization behavior of styryl 9M, a common dye used in material sciences, is investigated using tandem ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) coupled with laser spectroscopy. Styryl 9M has two alkene linkages, potentially allowing for four geometric i ...

Ultrafast Photoelectron and Optical Spectroscopies of Photoinduced Processes in Molecular Systems in Solution

Luca Longetti

Investigating molecular excitations with femtosecond time resolution is of pivotal importance to understand the out-of-equilibrium processes taking place in molecular systems upon light absorption. The photochemistry of solvated species is heavily determin ...

Prediction of aqueous free energies of solvation using coupled QM and MM explicit solvent simulations

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Daniel David Sadowsky

A method based on molecular dynamics simulations which employ two distinct levels of theory is proposed and tested for the prediction of Gibbs free energies of solvation for non-ionic solutes in water. The method consists of two additive contributions: (i) ...

Promising anti-cancer potency of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazole-based Schiff-bases

Kurt Schenk, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

Four new Schiff-bases have been synthesized from the 1:2 M condensation of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole-2,6-diamine with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (SL3), 5-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (SL2), 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (SL3) and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehy ...

A general strategy to develop cell permeable and fluorogenic probes for multicolour nanoscopy

Kai Johnsson, Lin Xue, Lu Wang

It is difficult to develop suitable fluorescent probes for live-cell nanoscopy, but a general strategy is now reported that can transform regular fluorophores into fluorogenic probes with excellent cell permeability and low unspecific background signals. U ...

Simulating Solvation and Acidity in Complex Mixtures with First-Principles Accuracy: The Case of CH3SO3H and H2O2 in Phenol

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Michele Ceriotti, Veronika Juraskova, Kevin Rossi

We present a generally applicable computational framework for the efficient and accurate characterization of molecular structural patterns and acid properties in an explicit solvent using H2O2 and CH3SO3H in phenol as an example. To address the challenges ...

Solvent-Aware Interfaces in Continuum Solvation

Nicola Marzari, Oliviero Andreussi, Nicolas Georg Hörmann, Francesco Nattino

Continuum models to handle solvent and electrolyte effects in an effective way have a long tradition in quantum-chemistry simulations and are nowadays also being introduced in computational condensed-matter and materials simulations. A key ingredient of co ...

Ultrafast molecular photophysics in the deep-ultraviolet

Majed Chergui

In the landscape of ultrafast spectroscopic tools, the deep- and near-ultraviolet ranges (200–400 nm) have lagged behind due to the lack of tunability of both the pump and the probe pulses in this range. With the advent of novel nonlinear optical methods, ...
