Research on light-driven catalysis has gained tremendous importance due to the ever-
increasing power consumption and the threatening situation of global warming related to …

Attachment of a dye to a platinum-coligand entity via a direct Pt-C (aryl) σ-bond has a great
impact on its photophysical properties. Apart from the trivial effect of altering the associated …

Electron transfer (ET) from donor to acceptor is often mediated by nuclear-electronic
(vibronic) interactions in molecular bridges. Using an ultrafast electronic-vibrational …

Nuclear–electronic (vibronic) coupling is increasingly recognized as a mechanism of major
importance in controlling the light-induced function of molecular systems. It was recently …

Ultrafast electron transfer in condensed-phase molecular systems is often strongly coupled
to intramolecular vibrations that can promote, suppress and direct electronic processes …

To unravel the role of driving force and structural changes in directing the photoinduced
pathways in donor–bridge–acceptor (DBA) systems, we compared the ultrafast dynamics in …

The effect of acceptor strength on excited-state charge transfer (CT) and charge separation
(CS) in central phenothiazine (PTZ)-derived symmetric 1 (PTZ-(TCBD-TPA) 2) and …

Coordination compounds, characterized by fascinating and tunable electronic properties,
are capable of binding easily to proteins, polymers, wires and DNA. Upon irradiation, these …

The ultrafast nonadiabatic excited state dynamics of (PTZ-N-benzyl-acetylide)(trans-bis-
trimethylphosphine) Pt (II)(acetylide-NDI-bis-methyl) 1, representative of a series of Pt (II) …

Conspectus The Born–Oppenheimer approximation refers to the assumption that the
nuclear and electronic wave functions describing a molecular system evolve and can be …
