The changing of the metal that is a part of the photosensitizer groups bound to CdTe quantum dots can also affect rate of intersystem crossing, as the use of a heavier metal can cause intersystem crossing to be favored due to the heavy atom effect. [8]
Internal conversion is a transition from a higher to a lower electronic state in a molecule or atom. [1] It is sometimes called "radiationless de-excitation", because no photons are emitted. It differs from intersystem crossing in that, while both are radiationless methods of de-excitation, the molecular spin state for internal conversion ...
Since both phosphorescence (transition from T 1 to S 0) and the generation of T 1 from an excited singlet state (e.g., S 1) via intersystem crossing (ISC) are spin-forbidden processes, most organic materials exhibit insignificant phosphorescence as they mostly fail to populate the excited triplet state, and, even if T 1 is formed ...
A photosensitizer is a chemical compound that can be promoted to an excited state upon absorption of light and undergo intersystem crossing (ISC) with oxygen to produce singlet oxygen. This species is highly cytotoxic, rapidly attacking any organic compounds it encounters. It is rapidly eliminated from cells, in an average of 3 μs. [4]
Internal conversion is an atomic decay process where an excited nucleus interacts electromagnetically with one of the orbital electrons of an atom. This causes the electron to be emitted (ejected) from the atom. [1] [2] Thus, in internal conversion (often abbreviated IC), a high-energy electron is emitted from the excited atom, but not from the ...
In chemistry, a metallophilic interaction is defined as a type of non-covalent attraction between heavy metal atoms. The atoms are often within Van der Waals distance of each other and are about as strong as hydrogen bonds. [1] The effect can be intramolecular or intermolecular.
The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source of the heavy elements Strontium and Yttrium for the very first time.
Sketch showing the interdependence of some multi-reference wavefunction methods, indicating the dependency on CASSCF of CASPTn method. Complete active space perturbation theory (CASPTn) is a multireference electron correlation method for computational investigation of molecular systems, especially for those with heavy atoms such as transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides.
