Self-healing, luminescent metallogelation driven by synergistic metallophilic and fluorine–fluorine interactions
2020
Square planar platinum(ii) complexes are attractive building blocks for multifunctional soft materials due to their unique optoelectronic properties. However, for soft materials derived from synthetically simple discrete metal complexes, achieving a combination of optical properties, thermoresponsiveness and excellent mechanical properties is a major challenge. Here, we report the rapid self-recovery of luminescent metallogels derived from platinum(ii) complexes of perfluoroalkyl and alkyl derivatives of terpyridine ligands. Using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, we show that the presence of synergistic platinum-platinum (PtMIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSISPt) metallopolymerization and f…
Noncovalent axial I∙∙∙Pt∙∙∙I interactions in platinum(II) complexes strengthen in the excited state
2021
Abstract Coordination compounds of platinum(II) participate in various noncovalent axial interactions involving metal center. Weakly bound axial ligands can be electrophilic or nucleophilic; however, interactions with nucleophiles are compromised by electron density clashing. Consequently, simultaneous axial interaction of platinum(II) with two nucleophilic ligands is almost unprecedented. Herein, we report structural and computational study of a platinum(II) complex possessing such intramolecular noncovalent I⋅⋅⋅Pt⋅⋅⋅I interactions. Structural analysis indicates that the two iodine atoms approach the platinum(II) center in a “side‐on” fashion and act as nucleophilic ligands. According to c…
Exploring fast proton transfer events associated with lateral proton diffusion on the surface of membranes
2019
Proton diffusion (PD) across biological membranes is a fundamental process in many biological systems, and much experimental and theoretical effort has been employed for deciphering it. Here, we report on a spectroscopic probe, which can be tightly tethered to the membrane, for following fast (nanosecond) proton transfer events on the surface of membranes. Our probe is composed of a photoacid that serves as our light-induced proton source for the initiation of the PD process. We use our probe to follow PD, and its pH dependence, on the surface of lipid vesicles composed of a zwitterionic headgroup, a negative headgroup, a headgroup that is composed only from the negative phosphate group, or…
Highly occupied gauge theories in 2 + 1 dimensions : a self-similar attractor
2019
Motivated by the boost-invariant Glasma state in the initial stages in heavy-ion collisions, we perform classical-statistical simulations of SU(2) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensional space-time both with and without a scalar field in the adjoint representation. We show that irrespective of the details of the initial condition, the far-from-equilibrium evolution of these highly occupied systems approaches a unique universal attractor at high momenta that is the same for the gauge and scalar sectors. We extract the scaling exponents and the form of the distribution function close to this non-thermal fixed point. We find that the dynamics are governed by an energy cascade to higher momenta with sc…

Charged jet cross sections and properties in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV
2015
The differential charged jet cross sections, jet fragmentation distributions, and jet shapes are measured in minimum bias proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV using the ALICE detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed from charged particle momenta in the mid-rapidity region using the sequential recombination $k_{\rm T}$ and anti-$k_{\rm T}$ as well as the SISCone jet finding algorithms with several resolution parameters in the range $R=0.2$ to $0.6$. Differential jet production cross sections measured with the three jet finders are in agreement in the transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) interval $20<p_{\rm T}^{\rm jet,ch}<100$ GeV/$c$. They are also consistent w…
Suomen sähköntuotannon taloudelliset ja biofysikaaliset kustannukset ja skenaarioita fossiilisista energialähteistä irtautumiselle
2010
Maailman energiajärjestelmä perustuu fossiilisen energialähteiden laajamittaiseen hyödyntämiseen, mikä lisää ilmakehän hiilidioksidipitoisuutta ja kiihdyttää siten globaalia ilmastonmuutosta. Energian kysynnän kasvun ennustetaan jatkuvan tulevina vuosikymmeninä, mutta samalla fossiilisten energialähteiden resurssit käyvät yhä niukemmiksi, mikä pahentaa kysynnän ja tarjonnan välistä kuilua ja nostaa polttoaineiden hintoja. Siirtyminen pois fossiilisten energialähteiden käytöstä on siten välttämätöntä sekä ympäristöllisistä että saatavuuteen liittyvistä syitä. Osa taloustieteilijöistä on käyttänyt sekä taloudellista että biofysikaalista analyysia luonnonvarojen ja ihmisen hallitsemien prosess…
Spectroscopic studies of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes
2010
The unique nature of optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), together with their promising potential applications, have created enormous interest towards the photophysics of SWCNT. Many aspects of carbon nanotubes originate from the electronic structure of carbon honeycomb lattice and one-dimensionality. SWCNTs exist in various chiral structures and diameters, which the optical and electrical properties are dependent on. It has been discovered that SWCNT excited states are excitonic with strong Coulomb interaction between the electron and the hole. However, many features of excitons are not yet well defined, such as absorption cross-sections, fluorescence quantum yield…
