Zbigniew Ryszard Grabowski was born 1927 (original prewar name Ryszard Abrahamer).
Under the German occupation he was self-taught while in hiding. He took part in the Warsaw …

Electron‐transfer processes in solution are among the most important reactions in chemistry
and biology. The huge number of redox reactions of transition metal ions and complexes …

This is an overview of some of the important, challenging, and problematic issues in
contemporary electron transfer research. After a qualitative discussion of electron transfer, its …

Femtosecond pump-probe experiments reveal the impulsive production of photoproduct in
the primary event in vision. The retinal chromophore of rhodopsin was excited with a 35 …

In a recent Letter [Chem. Phys. Lett. 221, 482 (1994)], we demonstrated that the dynamics of
reduced density matrices for systems in contact with dissipative harmonic environments can …

The genesis of the exploration of electron transfer (ET) in the condensed phase dates back
to the origins of chemistry in the nineteenth century. In 1808 Humphry Davy observed [1] that …

Simple and effective methods for solving problems in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
are scarce and valuable. In the absence of elementary textbooks in this area, such methods …

2-Aminopurine (2AP) is a fluorescent analog of guanosine and adenosine and has been
used to probe nucleic acid structure and dynamics. Its spectral features in nucleic acids have …

This article primarily reviews recent work on ultrafast experiments on excited state
intramolecular electron and proton transfer, with an emphasis on experiments on chemical …

A general nonperturbative approach to calculate femtosecond pump‐probe (PP) signals is
proposed, which treats both the intramolecular couplings and the field‐matter interaction …
