Published: March 2015

The electronic spectrum of C17H12N(+), phenanthrene with a side chain, was measured in the gas phase at a vibrational and rotational temperature of ∼15 K in an ion trap using a resonant multiphoton dissociation technique. The C17H12N(+) structure was produced in a chemical ionization source and identified by a comparison with theoretical calculations of stable structures and excitation energies. The (3), (2), (1) (1)A ← X (1)A electronic transitions of this nitrogen-containing aromatic species with 30 atoms have origin band maxima at 23,586 ± 1 cm(-1), 16,120 ± 50 cm(-1), and 14,519 ± 30 cm(-1). Distinct vibrational structure in the (3) (1)A state is observed, and assignments are made. Astronomical aspects are considered.

Resolving the Ambiguity of Thermal Reversion in a Nonconjugated Monocyclic Diene-Based Photoswitch for Rechargeable Solar Thermal Batteries.

J Phys Chem A

We report nonconjugated monocyclic dienes (nCMDs) as unique photoswitchable molecules that hold promise for harvesting substantial solar energy and storing it for extended durations. Herein, cyclohepta-1,4-diene and its N-heterocyclic analogue have been considered as prototypical models for investigating photoswitching behavior in nCMDs. Initially, the nonradiative deactivation pathway of nCMD from the low-lying excited state to the [2 + 2]-cycloadduct has been evaluated.

The interplay of electronic charge, spin, and orbital currents, coherently driven by picosecond long oscillations of light fields in spin-orbit coupled systems, is the foundation of emerging terahertz lightwave spintronics and orbitronics. The essential rules for how terahertz fields interact with these systems in a nonlinear way are still not understood. In this work, we demonstrate a universally applicable electronic nonlinearity originating from spin-orbit interactions in conducting materials, wherein the interplay of light-induced spin and orbital textures manifests.

Activities of the chloroplasts and nucleus are coordinated by retrograde signaling, which has crucial roles in plant development and environmental adaptation. However, the connection between chloroplast status and nuclear genome stability is not well understood. Chloroplast state transitions allow the plant to balance the absorption capacity of the photosystems in an environment in which the light quality was changing.

Adolescence is a developmental period marked by significant alterations to brain neurobiology and behavior. Adolescent nicotine use disrupts developmental trajectories and increases vulnerability to maladaptive drug-taking in adulthood. The mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system, including the nucleus accumbens core (NAc), mediates the reinforcing effects of nicotine.

This work represents a comprehensive study of the ground vibrational state of C-13 substituted methanol using very high-resolution far-infrared (FIR) and infrared (IR) Synchrotron Radiation spectra recorded with a very high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio in the entire region from 40to5000cm, at the Canadian Light sources. High resolution combined with a high S/N ratio allowed the recording to be done with an unprecedented resolution of about 0.0017cm.
