Conspectus The initial studies of the dynamics of photoinduced charge separation
conducted in our laboratories 20 years ago found strongly distance-dependent rate …

For electrochemical device applications metal organic frameworks (MOFs) must exhibit
suitable conduction properties. To this end, we have performed computational studies of …

A metal–organic framework (MOF) featuring intriguing Borromean entanglement exhibits a
unique mechanochromic luminescence with on–off switching. The concomitant excitation …

We present a new method for [2+ 2] and [4+ 2] cyclizations via a radical cation formation
driven by methyl viologen mediated electron donor–acceptor complexes. This approach …

We computationally design and experimentally corroborate the atomic layer deposition
(ALD) of metal oxides with tailorable nucleation on selected self-assembled monolayers …

The syntheses of isomeric helical viologens that have potential applications in
supramolecular chemistry and catalysis have been developed. The structures of the …

We synthesized a near infra-red (NIR)-absorbing squaraine dye (VJ-S) showing strong
absorption and emission maxima at 684 and 704 nm, respectively, with a high molar …

A systematic study of the self-assembly process of a viologen-containing surfactant in
aqueous medium is reported. Dodecyl-ethyl-viologendibromide (DDEV) is mixed in different …

Detailed mechanisms for the redox cycling of paraquat in basic solutions have been
revealed computationally. The reduction of paraquat dication (PQ2+) undergoes via the …

It is often difficult to assign the nature of an excited-state process unambiguously based on a
limited number of experimental evidence. The methylbipyridine/phenol complex is a classic …
