A Rational Way to Control the Triplet State Wave Function Confinement of Organic Chromophores: Effect of the Connection Sites and Spin Density Distribution-Guided Molecular Structure Design Principles in Bodipy Dimers.

To study the intersystem crossing (ISC) and the spatial confinement of the triplet excited states of organic chromophores, we prepared a series of Bodipy dimers. We found that the connection position of the two units has a significant effect on the absorption and fluorescence. Singlet oxygen quantum yields of 3.

Experimental Observation of a Peculiar Effect in Saturated Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectra Undergoing Spin Exchange. Magnetic Polariton?

We report the experimental observation of a spectral manifestation of a magnetic polariton that was theoretically predicted last year. This unprecedented manifestation is demonstrated not only for N-enriched peroxylamine disulfonate, a radical that adheres strictly to the assumptions of the theory, but also for a radical, 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-;1-15N-1-oxyl, that departs somewhat from the assumptions, as well as the Galvinoxyl radical that represents a severe departure. The magnetic polariton is likely to be of interest to physical chemists in other fields because of the intrinsic advantage of a finite basis set in developing theories.
