N-(1-Anthryl)-2,4,6-trimethyl-pyridinium (I), N-(2-anthryl)-2,4,6-trimethyl-pyridinium (II) and 10-(1-anthryl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-acridinium cations (III) with anomalously high fluorescence Stokes' shift have been investigated. Fluorescence kinetics analysis at various temperatures showed that in the range 293-77 K, the radiative deactivation rate constants (kf) increase by 5.5 to 30 times. The low-temperature time-resolved emission spectra of I-III were found to be consistent with the model: A--> A*<--> B* where A* is the local excited twisted form and B* is the relaxed more planar, bent conformer of the molecule. The rate constants of the excited relaxed state formation (k1) and back reaction (k-1) of compounds studied were estimated.

Hot-exciton materials, among all kinds of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) emitters, have better exciton utilization efficiency and efficiency roll-off, making them possible for their practical applications. We studied the photophysical properties of a few hot-exciton molecules based on an anthracene core unit to efficiently harvest all triplet excitons to the lowest excited singlet state. The conversion of triplet exciton to singlet exciton utilizing hRISC can be enhanced due to the 1ππ*←3nπ* transition channel.

Toward Grid-Based Models for Molecular Association.

J Chem Theory Comput

January 2025

Department of Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacy, Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 22, 14195 Berlin, Germany.

This paper presents a grid-based approach to model molecular association processes as an alternative to sampling-based Markov models. Our method discretizes the six-dimensional space of relative translation and orientation into grid cells. By discretizing the Fokker-Planck operator governing the system dynamics via the square-root approximation, we derive analytical expressions for the transition rate constants between grid cells.

The objective of this study was to implement population pharmacokinetic (PPK) of enrofloxacin (EF) in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) after a single oral administration and a single intravenous administration based on a nonlinear mixed effect model. The plasma samples collected by the sparse sampling method were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescent detector. The initial pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were evaluated by reference search and the calculation of a naïve pooled method.

Treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH) is defined by consistently elevated blood pressure readings unresponsive to medical management. In clinical practice, it poses a significant challenge due to the intertwining variables that may cause the issue to persist such as lifestyle, genetics, and other comorbidities, as opposed to simple medication non-adherence. This report describes the case of a 68-year-old female patient presenting for a routine follow-up with persistently elevated ambulatory blood pressure readings.

The utilization of polyoxometalate-based materials is largely dictated by their redox properties. Detailed understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic efficiency of charge transfer is therefore essential to the development of polyoxometalate-based systems for target applications. Toward this end, we report electrochemical studies of a series of heteroatom-doped Keggin-type polyoxotungstate clusters [PWO] ( ), [VWO] ( ), [P(VW)O] ( ), and [V(VW)O] ( ) to elucidate the role of the identity and spatial location of heteroatoms and overall cluster charge on the rate constants of electron transfer and redox reaction entropies.
