In situ generation of superoxide anion radical in aqueous medium under ambient conditions.

In the recent decades superoxide [O(2-.) ] has become the subject of considerable interest. Nonetheless, generation of superoxide compounds is still a substantial challenge.

Ionization-loss stimulated Raman spectroscopy for conformational probing of flexible molecules.

The approach of studying structural and dynamical properties of flexible molecules is of substantial interest, as it allows decoding the shapes and intrinsic properties of isolated molecular constituents, which have an influence on the selectivity and functionality in biological processes. Combining quantum computation methods with double resonance or infrared hole burning techniques, mainly covering hydride stretch vibrations, recently led to great progress in understanding the structure of a variety of biological building blocks. Measurements of spectra in the lower frequency range, with relatively compact and convenient laser sources, still pose major challenges.
