We report stationary and ultrafast solution-phase spectra for symmetric biphenyls: pristine biphenyl (bP0), 4,4'-difluorobiphenyl (bP2), 2,3,5,6,2',3',5',6'-octafluorobiphenyl (bP8), and perfluorobiphenyl (bP10). Initial excitation to the S3 state in bP0 and bP2,...

Steady-state fluorescence measurements and quantum-chemical DFT geometry optimizations are applied to extend the structure–property relationships between the free-base corrole macrocycle conformation and its basicity to the lowest excited S[Formula: see text] and T[Formula: see text] states. Direct basicity estimation in the lowest excited S[Formula: see text] state is demonstrated by means of fluorescence quantum yield measurements. The long wavelength T1 tautomer is found to retain its basicity in the S[Formula: see text] state, whereas the short wavelength T2 tautomer shows a noticeable decrease in basicity in the S[Formula: see text] state, which is related to the in-plane tilting of the pyrrole ring to be protonated. The conformational changes upon going from the ground to the lowest excited T[Formula: see text] state and the influence of the meso-aryl substitution pattern on the overall degree of distortions and tilting of the pyrrole ring to be protonated are also discussed from the point of view of macrocycle basicity.

The nonlinear optical susceptibilities of two- or three-dimensional molecular systems exhibit variable anisotropic features depending on their structure and substitution pattern. We show that appropriate geometric (e.g. tensorial) considerations combined with an n-level quantum model (n≥3) are able to account for such nonlinear anisotropy as rigorously defined in an invariant spherical formalism by extension of classical linear anisotropy. We call on two kinds of experiments to investigate these properties: firstly, variation of the incident polarization (VIP) in harmonic light scattering (HLS) experiments is being performed to sort out individual tensorial components of the quadratic hyperpolarizability β tensor; secondly, wavelength dependence studies in coherent second harmonic generation (SHG) from poled thin film media are shown at a preliminary stage to be able to designate those excited states responsible for the nonlinear anisotropy.

Diagrammatic techniques are well-known in the calculation of dispersion interactions between atoms or molecules. The multipolar coupling scheme combined with Feynman ordered diagrams significantly reduces the number of graphs compared to elementary stationary perturbation theory. We review calculations of van der Waals-Casimir-Polder forces, focusing on two atoms or molecules, one of which is excited. In this case, calculations of the corresponding force are notorious for mathematical issues connected with the spontaneous decay of the excitation. Treating such unstable states in a full non-equilibrium theory provides a physical interpretation of apparent contradictions in previous results and underlines the importance of decay processes for the intermolecular potential. This may have important implications on reactions in biological systems, where excited states may be relatively long-lived and the resonant intermolecular force may result in directed Brownian motion.

Experiments and computations reveal that 1,2-disubstituted anthrol carbaldehydes are not ESIPT reactive, whereas 2,3-disubstituted anthrols undergo efficient barrierless ultrafast ESIPT, where the typical dual emission from locally excited states and tautomers was not observed.

Using R.D. Cowan’s computations (1979) and parametric calculations of Meinders et al (1982), old analyses are thoroughly revised and extended at Aligarh, of Zr III by Khan et al (1981), of Nb IV by Shujauddin et Chaghtai (1985), of Mo V by Tauheed at al (1985). Cabeza et al (1986) confirmed the last one largely.Extensive studies have been reported of the 1–e spectra, Zr IV (Rahimullah et al 1980; Acquista and Reader 1980), Nb V (Shujauddin et al 1982; Kagan et al 1981) and Mo VI (Edlén et al 1985). Some interacting 4p54d2levels of these spectra have been reported from our laboratory, also.Detailed spectral analyses of transitions between excited states have furnished complete energy values for J ≠ 1 levels of these spectra during 1970s and 80s. Shujauddin et al (1982) have worked out Nb VI and Tauheed et al (1984) Mo VII from our lab, while Khan et al (1981) share the work on Zr V with Reader and Acquista (1979).

Binary Nb-Hf alloys exhibit a wide bcc solid solution phase field at temperatures above the Hfα→ß transition (2023K) and a two phase bcc+hcp field at lower temperatures. The β solvus exhibits a small slope above about 1500K, suggesting the possible existence of a miscibility gap. An earlier investigation showed that two morphological forms of precipitate occur during the bcc→hcp transformation. The equilibrium morphology is rod-type with axes along <113> bcc. The crystallographic habit of the rod precipitate follows the Burgers relations: {110}||{0001}, <112> || <1010>. The earlier metastable form, transition α, occurs as thin discs with {100} habit. The {100} discs induce large strains in the matrix. Selected area diffraction examination of regions ∼2 microns in diameter containing many disc precipitates showed that, a diffuse intensity distribution whose symmetry resembled the distribution of equilibrium α Bragg spots was associated with the disc precipitate.
