Excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) to solvent is often explained according to the two-step Eigen-Weller model including a contact ion pair (CIP*) as an intermediate, but general applicability of the model...

Propyl acetate/butyronitrile mixtures allow for controlling the extent and time scale of dielectric stabilization in a predictable manner.

A significant number of quadrupolar dyes behave as their dipolar analogues when in polar environments. This is due to the occurrence of excited-state symmetry breaking (ES-SB), upon which the electronic...

Occurrence of chiral recognition in bimolecular photoinduced electron transfer (ET) is difficult to identify because of the predominant role of diffusion. To circumvent this problem, we apply a combination of...
