Fluorescent nucleoside analogues (FNAs) are structurally diverse mimics of the natural
essentially non-fluorescent nucleosides which have found numerous applications in probing …

Two novel symmetrical bis-azobenzene red dyes ending with electron-withdrawing or donor
groups were synthesized. Both chromophores display good solubility, excellent chemical …

In the present review, the scientific results and technical improvements in the last two years
(2019 and 2020) in the field of time-resolved IR spectroscopy in the (sub-) ns–second …

In this contribution we present a quantum dynamical study of the photoexcited hydrogen
bonded base pair adenine–thymine (AT) in a Watson–Crick arrangement. To that end, we …

A general framework for the simulation of ultrafast pump-probe time resolved experiments
based on Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) is presented. Interaction of the …

The photochemical reaction of 4-nitroindole and guanosine was studied with the transient
absorption spectroscopy as guanine is an effective hole trap during the charge transfer in …

This review explored the latest progress (since 2017) in solar photocatalysis for water
decontamination and disinfection, including three sections focused on decontamination by …

In this work, a thorough description of the photochemical and photophysical response of the
Watson--Crick base pairs of adenine with uracil (AU) or thymine (AT) according to the SCS …

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfers (ESIPT) are one of the fastest reactions in
chemistry (< 100 fs) which–among other features like high photostability–makes them an …

This special issue of the “Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie” is dedicated to Prof. Dr.
Friedrich Temps on the occasion of his 65th birthday. It honors his numerous contributions in …
