Excitonic Coupling and Femtosecond Relaxation of Zinc Porphyrin Oligomers Linked with Triazole Bridge: Dynamics and Modeling.

The synthesis of new zinc porphyrin oligomers linked by a triazole bridge was carried out via "click" reaction. A split in the porphyrin oligomer B-band was observed. It was considered as evidence of exciton-excitonic coupling.

Analysis of dielectric spectra of eukaryotic cells by computer modeling.

An analysis of dielectric spectra, obtained by computer modeling, of spherical eukaryotic cells (lymphocytes in particular) is presented. The number of fitting parameters required to describe these spectra is determined. The influence of parameter variation on the spectral shape is illustrated.

Time domain dielectric spectroscopy study of human cells. II. Normal and malignant white blood cells.

The dielectric properties of human lymphocyte suspensions were studied by time domain dielectric spectroscopy (TDDS). Nine populations of malignant and normal lymphocytes were investigated. Analysis of the dielectric parameters of cell structural parts were performed in the framework of Maxwell-Wagner mixture formula and the double-shell model of cell.

Probing the Sol-Gel Conversion in the Tetraethoxysilane/Alcohol/Water System with the Aid of Diffusion-Controlled Fluorescence Quenching.

The sol-gel conversion in the tetraethoxysilane/alcohol/water system can be probed by means of the diffusion-controlled fluorescence quenching of Py* by Cu2+ ions. In the course of tetraethoxysilane hydrolysis, the viscosity of the system increases, thereby causing the quenching rate to decrease and the mean lifetime of the excited state to elongate dramatically as the system approaches the gel-point. Incorporating the equation proposed by Vogelsberger et al.
