Testing carbon sequestration site monitor instruments using a controlled carbon dioxide release facility.

Two laser-based instruments for carbon sequestration site monitoring have been developed and tested at a controlled carbon dioxide (CO(2)) release facility. The first instrument uses a temperature tunable distributed feedback (DFB) diode laser capable of accessing the 2.0027-2.

Millisecond long-lived charge separated state at room temperature in a flexibly linked diphenylaminopolyene-C60 dyad.

Long-lived photoinduced charge separation involving one-step electron transfer is achieved in diphenylaminopolyene based C60-donor dyads with a short, flexible linkage.
