Singlet oxygen photophysics: from liquid solvents to mammalian cells

M Bregnhøj, F Thorning, PR Ogilby - Chemical Reviews, 2024 - ACS Publications
Molecular oxygen, O2, has long provided a cornerstone for studies in chemistry, physics,
and biology. Although the triplet ground state, O2 (X3Σg–), has garnered much attention, the …

Nonadiabatic tunneling in chemical reactions

JO Richardson - The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2024 - ACS Publications
Quantum tunneling can have a dramatic effect on chemical reaction rates. In nonadiabatic
reactions such as electron transfers or spin crossovers, nuclear tunneling effects can be …

Semiclassical instanton theory for reaction rates at any temperature: How a rigorous real-time derivation solves the crossover temperature problem

JE Lawrence - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
Instanton theory relates the rate constant for tunneling through a barrier to the periodic
classical trajectory on the upturned potential energy surface, whose period is τ= ℏ/(k BT) …
