Laser photodissociation spectroscopy (3.1-5.7 eV) has been applied iodide complexes of the non-native nucleobases, 2-thiouracil (2-TU), 4-thiouracil (4-TU) and 2,4-Thiouracil (2,4-TU) to probe the excited states and intracluster electron transfer...

Using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the excited states of the analogue model Mg -bacteriochlorophyll b - imidazole ( BChl -Im) dimer (P) for a special pair in the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) of Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) viridis were examined. The calculated low-lying excited states and optimal geometries are in good agreement with experimental data. The order of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies of P, the monomeric "accessory" BChl -Im (B), and bacteriopheophytin b ( H ) indicates the possibility of the light-induced electron transfer from P to H via B. The Im ligand of B destabilizes Goutermann's four-orbitals of BChl by 0.3-0.4 eV. With no energetic difference in the LUMOs between H and BChl , the Im ligands of P and B play an important role in providing a greater energetic gradient to the LUMOs along with the pathway for the excited-electron transfer in RC, resulting in the reduced reverse electron transfer from H to P (via B). Thus it is expected that the asymmetric Mg -Im interactions will directly affect the pathway of the excited-electron transfer. Using the deformed heterodimer (P') formed by the BChl halves with and without Im as the primary donor model, its cation radical P'+ was calculated as to whether the experimental asymmetric spin-density distribution can reproduce. The excited states of the analogue model Zn - BChl -Im dimer for a special pair in RC of the recently discovered Acidiphilium rubrum were also examined for a comparison with P.

A novel β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) grafted titanium dioxide (TiO2/β-CD) was synthesized through photo-induced self assembly methods, and its structure was characterized. The TiO2/β-CD hybrid nanomaterial showed high photoactivity under visible light irradiation (λ  400 nm and/or λ  420 nm) and simulated solar irradiation (λ  365 nm). Photodegradation of rhodamine B followed the Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics model. The initial rate R0 of rhodamine B degradation increased by 4.6, 2.4 and 1.5 times in the irradiation conditions of λ  420 nm, λ  400 nm and λ  365 nm, respectively. β-CD increased the lifetimes of the excited states of the unreactive guests and facilitated the electron transfer from the excited dye to the TiO2 conduction band, which enhanced the dye pollutant degradation.
