A central issue in the design of reactions and catalysts based on metal complexes is the
hybridization of functional ligands with metal atoms. Recent studies have demonstrated that …

We summarize how gas-phase ultrafast charged-particle spectroscopy has been used to
provide an understanding of the photophysics of DNA building blocks. We focus on adenine …

Directly contrasting ultrafast excited-state dynamics in the gas and liquid phases is crucial to
understanding the influence of complex environments. Previous studies have often relied on …

Resolving the structural dynamics of bond breaking, bond formation, and solvation is
required for a deeper understanding of solution-phase chemical reactions. In this work, we …

In an effort to illuminate why nature has chosen a particular set of bio-molecular 'building-
blocks' for life, recent years have seen an up-surge of gas-phase spectroscopy experiments …

Oxybenzone is a common constituent of many commercially available sunscreens providing
photoprotection from ultraviolet light incident on the skin. Femtosecond transient electronic …

We report multistate trajectory simulations, including coherence, decoherence, and
multidimensional tunneling, of phenol photodissociation dynamics. The calculations are …

A combination of ultrafast transient electronic absorption spectroscopy (TEAS) and transient
vibrational absorption spectroscopy (TVAS) is used to investigate whether photoinduced N …

Sunscreens are one of the most common ways of providing on-demand additional
photoprotection to the skin. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy has recently proven …

Mechanistic insight into the photo-induced solvent substitution reaction of cis-[Ru
(bipyridine) 2 (nicotinamide) 2] 2+(1) is presented. Complex 1 is a photoactive species …
