The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …

Singlet fission is a photophysical reaction in which a singlet excited electronic state splits
into two spin-triplet states. Singlet fission was discovered more than 50 years ago, but the …

This review on continuum solvation models has been preceded in Chemical Reviews by
others addressing the same subject. They are due to Tomasi and Persico1 (published in …

Until now, photovoltaics—the conversion of sunlight to electrical power—has been
dominated by solid-state junction devices, often made of silicon. But this dominance is now …

▪ Abstract Solution phase syntheses and size-selective separation methods to prepare
semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, tunable in size from∼ 1 to 20 nm and monodisperse …

▪ Abstract The current state of understanding of molecular resonance energy transfer (RET)
and recent developments in the field are reviewed. The development of more general …

The issues of electronic polarizability in molecular dynamics simulations are discussed. We
argue that the charges of ionized groups in proteins, and charges of ions in conventional …

Excitons are considered as the basic concept used by describing the spectral properties of
photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and excitation dynamics in photosynthetic light …

We show spectroscopically that electronic energy transfer in close-packed CdSe quantum-
dot (QD) solids arises from dipole-dipole interdot interactions between proximal dots. We …

Functional organic materials with enhanced two‐photon absorption lead to new
technologies in the fields of chemistry, biology, and photonics. In this article we review …
