<p>A strategy to control the efficiency of a photocleavage reaction based on changing the nature of the excited state is presented. A novel class of photoactive compounds has been synthesized by combining the classical o-nitrobenzyl scaffold with an environmentally sensitive dye, 4-amino-nitrobenzothiazole. Irradiation in a polar solvent lead to an excited state that is inoperative for photochemistry whereas excitation in a nonpolar solvent lead to an excited state that is photochemically active. A photochemical degradation appears to be the preferred process in contrast to the intended photocleavage process.</p>

Neutron reflectivity and atomic force microscopy results reveal the electroresponsive interfacial structuring and nano-frictional properties of ionic liquid (IL) lubricant mixtures with a polar solvent are strongly dependent on bulk IL concentration.

Proper interpretation of phenanthrene's and similar PAHs’ photocycle relies on two higher excited state relaxations due to the simultaneous presence of non-adiabatic and adiabatic transitions.

In this article we characterise the radiationless decay of the first few electronic excited states of the cations of DNA/RNA nucleobases uracil and thymine, including the effects of dynamic electron correlation on energies and geometries (optimised with XMS-CASPT2).
