Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

Excited state dynamics are essential for understanding fluorescence properties in molecules, impacting their application in technologies. Recent research explores how molecular structure and geometry ...

Scientists have observed so-called 'roaming' chemical reactions, those that at certain points move away from the lowest minimum energy 'path of least resistance', in highly excited energy states for ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The key to controlling reactions of molecules induced with the current of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip is the ultrashort ...

(Nanowerk News) A very fundamental property of atoms and molecules are the energies, at which electrons can be added to or removed from the compound. This is decisive for many chemical reactions, in ...

In a recent article published in Nature Nanotechnology, researchers introduced an approach in single-molecule spectroscopy, significantly improving the ability to probe quantum transitions in ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how "excited-state aromaticity" emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

(Nanowerk News) Chemical reactions are supposed to occur along their minimum energy paths. In recent years, so-called roaming reactions that stray far from this path have begun to be observed, but ...
