X-ray Raman Scattering: A Hard X-ray Probe of Complex Organic Systems

This paper provides a review of the characterization of organic systems via X-ray Raman scattering (XRS) and a step-by-step guidance for its application. We present the fundamentals of XRS required to use the technique and discuss the main…

Selective population of triplet excited states in heavy-atom-free BODIPY-C60 based molecular assemblies

Photophysical studies on a BODIPY-fullerene-distyryl BODIPY triad (BDP-C60-DSBDP) and its reference dyads (BODIPY-fullerene; BDP-C60 and distyryl BODIPY-fullerene; DSBDP-C60) are presented herein. In the triad, the association of the two chromophore…

Is it possible to ”simply” predict the photoejection of a cation? Example of azacrown-substituted [(bpy)Re(CO) 3 L] + complexes

In the context of designing efficient photocontrolled ion-release systems, we propose a ”simple” computational strategy able to predict the cation photoejection. Our strategy is based on TD-DFT calculations and the analysis of the charge transfer …

Cyclometalated Rhodium and Iridium Complexes Containing Masked Catecholates: Synthesis, Structure, Electrochemistry, and Luminescence Properties

Two neutral cyclometalated rhodium and iridium coordination assemblies [(F2ppy)2M(η-Cat)], M = Rh, (2) and M = Ir, (3) (F2ppy: 2,4-difluorophenylpyridine), displaying a masked catecholate (η-Cat = η-O∧O) are described. The catecholate ligand is π…

Physiological synaptic activity and recognition memory require astroglial glutamine

Abstract Presynaptic glutamate replenishment is fundamental to brain function. In high activity regimes, such as epileptic episodes, this process is thought to rely on the glutamate-glutamine cycle between neurons and astrocytes. However the…

Fur glowing under UV: a widespread consequence of porphyrin accumulation in mammals

Abstract Spectacular photoluminescence (PL) phenomena have been increasingly reported in various organisms from diverse ecosystems. However, the chemical basis of this PL remains poorly defined, and its potential ecological function is still blurry,…
