The photophysical and photochemial properties of dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (dppz) in acetonitrile have been investigated by laser flash photolysis and ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy. The excitation of dppz to the first singlet excited state was followed by vibrational cooling with solvent relaxation for ∼3 ps and then intersystem crossing for ∼50 ps. Spectral and kinetic characteristics of the triplet excited state have been determined.

The reactivity of polar vinyl monomers, unsaturated compounds containing functional groups, depends on the presence or absence of conjugation between the C=C bond and the neighbouring unsaturated moieties or donor heteroatoms. Conjugated polar vinyl monomers (acrylates, vinyl ethers, etc.) (co)polymerize upon free-radical initiation. The reaction is widely used to produce numerous polymer materials that qualitatively differ ...

Silica-supported chromium oxide catalysts, also named Phillips chromium catalysts (PCCs), provide more than half of the world’s production of high- and medium-density polyethylenes. PCCs are usually prepared in the Cr(VI)/SiO2 form, which is subjected to reductive activation. It has been explicitly proven that CO reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(II) species that initiate ethylene polymerization; ethylene activates ...

Bright transient objects in different wave bands have been discovered in recent years.
To explain these short (from ms to s), and very powerful events, different models, galactic and
extragalactic, have been considered. One of the popular models is based on the suggestion of
transformation of the magnetized plasma blob, presumably a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
shock wave, moving with relativistic ...

The results of MHD simulations of supersonic astrophysical and laboratory jets in an external
poloidal magnetic field (Br,Bz) taking into account the rotation of the matter, are presented. The ejected
matter is collimated by the magnetic field, the degree of collimation and the flow structure depend on the
relation between of the magnetic field induction and the angular ...

Currently, ABX3 nanoparticles (NPs) based on lead halides attract the attention due to their unique optical properties and a wide range of applications. The preparation of NPs with lead as a partial or complete replacement is particularly interesting because of the toxicity of this chemical element and most of its compounds. In this study, we propose a ...

During magnetospheric perturbations a relatively thin current sheet with thickness about several
proton gyroradii forms in the Earth’s magnetotail. In a framework of the kinetic model describing current
sheet thinning in the magnetotail, the processes of its formation are investigated depending on the normal

The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of ...

A model of the cathode layer of a glow gas discharge with a thin dielectric film on a fraction of the

accompanied by a significant increase in discharge current density and a decrease in cathode voltage
drop, if the ...

To this end, we have manually curated MetalCytoToxDB─a comprehensive experimental database comprising 26,500 IC50 values for 7050 metal complexes against 754 cell lines from 1921 articles. Based on these, machine learning ...

The reaction of copper(I) phenylacetylide [PhC ≡ CCu]n with the 2-pyridylphosphines (tBu2PyP and Ph2PyP) offers a straightforward route to structurally diverse clusters. With tBu2PyP, a trinuclear cluster [Cu3(C ≡ CPh)3(tBu2PyP)3] featuring a Cu3 triangular was isolated. Surprisingly, the reaction of [PhC ≡ CCu]n with Ph2PyP yields two isomeric clusters [Cu4(C ≡ CPh)4(Ph2PyP)4] with tetrahedral or zigzag-arranged Cu4 cores. Upon prolonged storage in acetonitrile, the tetrahedral Cu4 cluster converts to ...

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...

We present a simple model that simulates the possible influence of one society on another. Specifically, two societies evolve deterministically according to the well-known Nowak-May spatial game with the addition of mutual influence through connections that reflect the current states of the societies. This may be related to the influence of a global information resource ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

Early processes in photochemistry of 2,3-bis(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)cyclopent-2-enone were explored using the ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy. The photocyclization occurs from the antiparallel conformation of an open form on a time scale of 7 ps, while the parallel conformation exhibits an intersystem crossing within 130 ps. The mechanism and timescales were revealed as typical of other thiophene-containing diarylethenes. ...

It is known that trans,cis,cis-[RuCl2(DMSO)2(H2O)2] (1a) complexes, which are formed upon dissolution of trans-[RuCl2(DMSO)4] in water, demonstrate light-induced cytotoxicity. The mechanistic study of 1a photochemistry has been performed using ultrafast pump–probe spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis and stationary photolysis. The first stage of 1a photochemistry is the photoexchange of a DMSO ligand to a water molecule; its quantum yield is wavelength-dependent (estimating ...
