The first example of a computationally de novo designed protein that binds an emissive abiological chromohore is presented, in which a sophisticated level of cofactor discrimination is pre-engineered. This heterotetrameric, ...

Transient dynamical studies of bis[(5 5`-10,20-bis(2,6-bis(3,3-dimethylbutoxy)phenyl)porphinato)palladium(II)] ethyne (PPd2), 5,15-bis{[(5`-10,20-bis(2,6-bis(3,3-dimethylbutoxy)phenyl)porphinato)pal ladium(II))ethynyl} ...

Use of phase transfer catalysts such as 18-crown-6 enables ionic, linear conjugated poly(2,6-{1,5-bis(3-propoxysulfonicacidsodiumsalt)}naphthylene]ethynylen e (PNES) to efficiently disperse single-walled carbon nanotubes ...

Successfully predicting the frequency dispersion of electronic hyperpolarizabilities is an unresolved challenge in materials science and electronic structure theory. We show that the generalized Thomas-Kuhn sum rules, ...

Selective near-IR (NIR) excitation (780 nm) of the conjugated supermolecule ruthenium(II) [15-(4'-ethynyl-(2,2';6',2 ''-terpyridinyl))-bis[(5,5',-10,20-di(2',6'-bis(3,3-dimethylbutoxy)pheny l)porphinato)zinc(II)]ethyne][ ...
