Ultrafast photochemical reactions in liquids occur on similar or shorter time scales compared
to the equilibration of the optically populated excited state. This equilibration involves the …

It is well-known that the solvent can strongly influence the course, rate, and equilibrium
position of many chemical reactions. 1, 2 The position and intensity of the bands in the …

I. Scope This review compiles positively and negatively solvatochromic compounds which
have been usedto establish empirical scales of solvent polarity by means of UV/vis/near-IR …

The genesis of the exploration of electron transfer (ET) in the condensed phase dates back
to the origins of chemistry in the nineteenth century. In 1808 Humphry Davy observed [1] that …

Although quantum confined nanomaterials, such as quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as a
new class of light harvesting and charge separation materials for solar energy conversion …

This article primarily reviews recent work on ultrafast experiments on excited state
intramolecular electron and proton transfer, with an emphasis on experiments on chemical …

Electron‐transfer processes in solution are among the most important reactions in chemistry
and biology. The huge number of redox reactions of transition metal ions and complexes …

In this paper we demonstrate that the marked solvent dependence of the rates k „¿ for
radiative recombination in some donor (D)-bridge (B)-acceptor (A) molecules, which …

We have measured the ultrafast solvent relaxation of liquid ethylene glycol, triacetin, and
water by means of femtosecond polarization spectroscopy, using optical‐heterodyne …

The capability of multilevel Redfield theory to describe ultrafast photoinduced electron-
transfer reactions is investigated. Adopting a standard model of photoinduced electron …
