Abstract

A long-lived triplet excited state of the well-known fluorophore boron dipyrromethene (Bodipy) was observed for the first time via efficient radical-enhanced intersystem crossing (EISC). The triplet state has been obtained in two dyads in which the Bodipy unit is linked to a nitroxide radical, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl (TEMPO), with two different length spacers. The photophysical properties were studied with steady-state and time-resolved transient optical spectroscopies and electron spin resonance (cw-ESR and TR-ESR). The fluorescence of Bodipy units is significantly quenched in the dyads, and the spin-polarized TEMPO signals were observed with TR-ESR, generated by a radical triplet pair mechanism. Efficient EISC (ΦT = 80%) was observed for the dyad with a shorter linker, and the triplet state lifetime of the Bodipy chromophore is exceptionally long (62 μs). The EISC takes 250 ps. Poor ISC was observed for the dyad with a longer linker. The efficient ISC and long-lived triplet excited state in this flexible system are in stark contrast to the previously studied rigid EISC systems. The EISC effect was employed for the first time to perform triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) upconversion (quantum yield ΦUC = 6.7%).

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
