Sulfur‐substituted nucleobases (aka, thiobases) are among the world's leading prescriptions
for chemotherapy and immunosuppression. Long‐term treatment with azathioprine, 6 …

The conversion of photon energy into other energetic forms in molecules is accompanied by
charge moving on ultrafast timescales. We directly observe the charge motion at a specific …

We combined sub-30 fs broadband transient absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet with
state-of-the-art quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations to study the ultrafast …

Photophysics and photochemistry are basic subjects in the study of light-matter interactions
and are ubiquitous in diverse fields such as biology, energy, materials, and environment. A …

Sulfur-substituted nucleobases are DNA and RNA base derivatives that exhibit extremely
efficient photoinduced intersystem crossing (ISC) dynamics into the lowest-energy triplet …

Rationalizing the photochemistry of nucleobases where an oxygen is replaced by a heavier
atom is essential for applications that exploit near-unity triplet quantum yields. Herein, we …

Photoinduced processes in thiouracil derivatives have lately attracted considerable attention
due to their suitability for innovative biological and pharmacological applications. Here, sub …

Deoxy‐5‐formylcytidine (5fdCyd), a naturally occurring nucleoside found in mammalian
DNA and mitochondrial RNA, exhibits important epigenetic functionality in biological …

We report time-dependent photoelectron spectra recorded with a single-photon ionization
setup and extensive simulations of the same spectra for the excited-state dynamics of 2 …

Previously, the MS‐CASPT2 method was performed to study the static and qualitative
photophysics of tellurium‐substituted cytosine (TeC). To get quantitative information, we …
