The steady-state and ultrafast to supra-nanosecond excited state dynamics of -[Re(NBI-phen)(CO)(L)](PF) (NBI-phen = 16H-benzo[4',5']isoquinolino[2',1':1,2]imidazo[4,5-][1,10]phenanthrolin-16-one) as well as their respective models of the general molecular formula [Re(phen)(CO)(L)](PF) (L = PPh and CHCN) has been investigated using transient absorption and time-gated photoluminescence spectroscopy. The NBI-phen containing molecules exhibited enhanced visible light absorption with respect to their models and a rapid formation (<6 ns) of the triplet ligand-centred (LC) excited state of the organic ligand, NBI-phen. These triplet states exhibit an extended excited state lifetime that enable the energized molecules to readily engage in triplet-triplet annihilation photochemistry.

Photochemical deracemization has emerged as one of the most straightforward approaches to access highly enantioenriched compounds in recent years. While excited-state events such as energy transfer, single electron transfer, and ligand-to-metal charge transfer have been leveraged to promote stereoablation, approaches relying on hydrogen atom transfer, which circumvent the limitations imposed by the triplet energy and redox potential of racemic substrates, remain underexplored. Conceptually, the most attractive method for tertiary stereocenter deracemization might be hydrogen atom abstraction followed by hydrogen atom donation.

Spoofing attacks (or Presentation Attacks) are easily accessible to facial recognition systems, making the online financial system vulnerable. Thus, it is urgent to develop an anti-spoofing solution with superior generalization ability due to the high demand for spoofing attack detection. Although multi-modality methods such as combining depth images with RGB images and feature fusion methods could currently perform well with certain datasets, the cost of obtaining the depth information and physiological signals, especially that of the biological signal is relatively high.

Quantum chemical calculations were employed to construct Jablonski diagrams for a series of phenolic carbonyls, including vanillin, iso-vanillin, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, syringaldehyde, and coniferyl aldehyde. These molecules can enter the Earth's atmosphere from forest fire emissions and participate in photochemical reactions within the atmospheric condensed phase, including cloud and fog droplets and aqueous aerosol particles. This photochemistry alters the composition of light-absorbing organic content, or brown carbon, in droplets and particles through the formation and destruction of key chromophores.

Energy transfer catalysis (EnT) has had a profound impact on contemporary organic synthesis enabling the construction of higher in energy, complex molecules, via efficient access to the triplet excited state. Despite this, intermolecular reactivity, and the unique possibility to access several reaction pathways via a central triplet diradical has rendered control over reaction outcomes, an intractable challenge. Extended chromophores such as non-symmetrical dienes have the potential to undergo [2+2] cycloaddition, [4+2] cycloaddition or geometric isomerisation, which, in combination with other mechanistic considerations (site- and regioselectivity), results in chemical reactions that are challenging to regulate.
