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 …

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

The excited-state properties and relaxation mechanisms after light irradiation of 6-
selenoguanine (6SeG) in water and in DNA have been investigated using a quantum …

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

The photophysics of thiobases—nucleobases in which one or more oxygen atoms are
replaced with sulfur atoms—vary greatly depending on the location of sulfonation. Not only …

The substitution of oxygen with chalcogen in carbonyl group (s) of canonical nucleobases
gives an impressive triplet generation, enabling their promising applications in medicine and …

We present time-resolved ultraviolet-pump x-ray probe Auger spectra of 2-thiouracil. An
ultraviolet induced shift towards higher kinetic energies is observed in the sulfur 2p Auger …

The photophysical mechanisms of tellurium-substituted uracils were studied at the multistate
complete-active-space second-order perturbation level with a particular focus on how the …

The photophysics of selenium-substituted nucleobases has attracted recent experimental
attention because they could serve as potential photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy …

The ultrafast internal conversion and intersystem crossing dynamics of 2-thiouracil (2TU)
and 2-thiothymine (2TT) are studied using time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy to …
