Exciton Coupling and Complexation Behaviour of β-Cyclodextrin Naphthoate

The host–guest complexation behaviour of-cyclodextrin 6-O-mono-2-naphthoate(1) and 6-[(N-2-naphthoyl-2-aminoethyl) amino]-6-deoxy--cyclodextrin (2) have been studied by the circular dichroism method. The exciton coupling band of 1 suggests that two naphthoyl moieties are partly included in one -CD cavity. Host 1 could form a dimer in a more polar solvent and the dimer could be dissociated in a less polar solvent or by adding a guest. Solvent-induced, concentrationinduced, and guest-induced circular dichroism variations were examined. No exciton coupling was observed for host 2.     

Photoluminescence of boron carbide

The excitation of B_4.3C with an Ar-laser () yields a photoluminescence spectrum between about 1.56 and 1.58 eV with its main maximum at 1.563 eV and a weaker maximum at 1.572 eV. It is attributed to the indirect-allowed recombination of free excitons.     

Asymmetric anionic polymerization of N‐1‐naphthylmaleimide with chiral ligand‐organometal complexes in toluene

Asymmetric anionic homopolymerizations of N‐1‐naphthylmaleimide (1‐NMI) were performed with chiral ligand/organometal complexes to form optically active polymers. Poly(1‐NMI)s obtained with methylene‐bridged bisoxazoline derivatives (Rbox)‐diethylzinc (Et₂Zn) complexes showed high specific optical rotations ([α]) from +152.3 to +191.4°. Circular dichroism spectra of the polymers exhibited a split Cotton effect in the UV absorption‐band region. According to the exciton chirality method, the absolute configuration of the polymer main chain was determined according to the following method: (+)‐poly[N‐substituted maleimides (RMI)] main chains can contain more (S,S)‐ than (R,R)‐configurations. (?)‐Poly(RMI) main chains can contain more (R,R)‐ than (S,S)‐configurations. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 39: 3556–3565, 2001     

Molecular Exciton Approach to Anisotropic Absorption and Circular Dichroism II. The Partial Optic Axis and its Application in Molecular Exciton Theory

Summary. The first part of the present communication develops the general theory of the partial optic axis, which is an excitation specific structural feature first proposed as an aid to the choice of chromophoric reference points in a molecular exciton approach to optical rotatory power, and discusses its applicability to symmetry analyses in the light of the distinction between the three categories for anisotropic optical rotatory power, i.e. chiral, achiral optically active, and achiral optically inactive molecular structures. The second part of the communication discusses the special role played by the concept of the partial optic axis in the evaluation of the anisotropic chromophoric intensity contributions in a molecular exciton approach, in particular in relation to the use of the chromophoric symmetry for the systematic selection and characterization of the intensity contributions.Permanent address: Holmebjerg 5, DK-2950 Vedbæk, Denmark     

A density functional theory study on multiple exciton generation in lead chalcogenides

Abstract

Quantum confined structure-based solar cell is promising two folds increment of the maximum theoretical photovoltaic conversion efficiency i.e., > 60% in comparison with that of the bulk analogs e.g., silicon-based and dye sensitized solar cell (ca. 32% of maximum theoretical efficiency). The key to the significant increment is the ability of the fluorophore to exhibit multiple exciton generation upon absorption photon with sufficient energy. Small size of lead chalcogenides (PbS, PbSe, PbTe) crystals have been reported and proven experimentally could exhibit this unique property. We have investigated few clusters of narrow bandgap lead chalcogenides nanocrystals i.e., (PbS)n, (PbSe)n and (PbTe)n; which n?=?4 - 80. The cluster models were optimized using quantum chemical calculations to the lowest energy geometry at B3LYP/lanl2dz level of theory. The predicted realistic (PbS)₈₀, (PbSe)₅₀, and (PbTe)₇₄ clusters with the size, and bandgap of 4.58?nm (2.00?eV), 4.03?nm (1.51?eV), and 4.84?nm (1.55?eV) are smaller than that of their exciton Bohr radius i.e., 5.01, 13.1, and 24.8?nm respectively. Therefore, the occurrence of multi exciton generation in the clusters is hypothesized upon absorption of photon with E_photon = 2E_g.     

Optical Exciton Molecules in Three-Dimensional Kerr-Nonlinear Photonic Crystals

Three-dimensional Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystals support a new kind of quantum gap solitons. Such 3D-quantum gap solitons are described by an approximate Bethe-ansatz solution of the quantized nodinear-field Hamiltonian under the effective mass approximation. Their main manifestations are predicted: (i) a series of discrete transmission peaks in the band gap, which progresses linearly with the diphoton number; (ii) Bessel-function dependence of the intensity correlation function on the detector separation.
