Precise measurements of K-shell internal conversion coefficients (ICCs) are being used to determine the best method for calculating these coefficients. A recent result for the M4 transition from 193Irm has been refined, demonstrating conclusively that the atomic vacancy created by the ejected electron must be properly accounted for in the calculation of ICCs. Measurements of additional cases are discussed.

Excited state dynamics of azanaphthalenes reveal opportunities for the rational design of photoactive molecules.
Commun Chem

Institute of Chemical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK.
Various photoactive molecules contain motifs built on aza-aromatic heterocycles, although a detailed understanding of the excited state photophysics and photochemistry in such systems is not fully developed. To help address this issue, the non-adiabatic dynamics operating in azanaphthalenes under hexane solvation was studied following 267 nm excitation using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. Specifically, the species quinoline, isoquinoline, quinazoline, quinoxaline, 1,6-naphthyridine, and 1,8-naphthyridine were investigated, providing a systematic variation in the relative positioning of nitrogen heteroatom centres within a bicyclic aromatic structure.

Neutral radicals have the potential to construct pure organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with internal quantum efficiencies reaching 100%. However, neutral radical luminescent materials with emission wavelengths in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window are rare. Herein, a serial of neutral donor-bridge-acceptor (D-π-A) type radical derivatives are investigated.

Diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs) have attracted attention for their potential applications in organic photovoltaics due to their tunable optical properties and charge-carrier mobilities. In this study, we investigate the excited-state dynamics of a DPP dimer using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations. Our results reveal a near-barrierless hydrogen migration state intersection that facilitates ultrafast internal conversion with a lifetime of about 400 fs, leading to fluorescence quenching.

Article Synopsis
- Trivalent europium (Eu(III)) complexes emit bright luminescence due to energy transfer from antenna ligands, specifically bidentate β-diketonates, although the mechanism was not fully understood before this study.
- The researchers employed time-resolved photoluminescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to detail the energy transfer steps in the [Eu(hfa)(TPPO)] complex, revealing processes like intersystem crossing and energy transfer to Eu(III).
- Their findings show that direct bonds in bidentate ligands promote efficient energy transfer, and understanding these processes can help in designing better luminescent materials for future research.

The design and application of molecular photoswitches have attracted much attention. Herein, we performed a detailed computational study on the photoswitch benzylidene-oxazolone system based on static electronic structure calculations and on-the-fly excited-state dynamic simulations. For the Z and E isomer, we located six and four minimum energy conical intersections (MECIs) between the first excited state (S) and the ground state (S), respectively.
