Resonance energy transfer (RET), the transport of electronic energy from one atom or
molecule to another, has significant importance to a number of diverse areas of science …

Conspectus According to Kasha's rule, the emission of a photon in a molecular system
always comes from the lowest excited state. A corollary of this rule (ie, the Kasha–Vavilov …

Designing molecular materials with very large exciton diffusion lengths would remove some
of the intrinsic limitations of present-day organic optoelectronic devices. Yet, the nature of …

In this Perspective, we discuss recent advances made to evaluate from first-principles the
excited-state decay rate constants of organic fluorophores, focusing on the so-called static …

The function of light-harvesting complexes is determined by a complex network of dynamic
interactions among all the different components: the aggregate of pigments, the protein, and …

Multichromophoric biosystems represent a broad family with very diverse members, ranging
from light-harvesting pigment–protein complexes to nucleic acids. The former are designed …

We propose a machine learning (ML)-based strategy for an inexpensive calculation of
excitonic properties of light-harvesting complexes (LHCs). The strategy uses classical …

Light-harvesting complexes of plants exert a dual function of light-harvesting (LH) and
photoprotection through processes collectively called nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) …

Multiscale models combining quantum mechanical and classical descriptions are a very
popular strategy to simulate properties and processes of complex systems. Many alternative …

The development of luminescent organic radicals has resulted in materials with excellent
optical properties for near-infrared emission. Applications of light generation in this range …
