As the world's population increases, the US Department of Energy has estimated that energy
consumption will increase with it, increasing from 5.7× 1020 J in 2012 to 8.1× 1020 J in …

Widespread implementation of renewable energy technologies, while preventing significant
increases in greenhouse gas emissions, appears to be the only viable solution to meeting …

The first crystal structure of an oligoproline adopting an all-trans polyproline II (PPII) helix is
presented. The high-resolution structure provides detailed insight into the dimensions and …

Ruthenium polypyridyl type complexes are potent photoactive compounds, and have found–
among others–a broad range of important applications in the fields of biomedical diagnosis …

Storage of solar energy in the form of readily available easy-to-handle fuels is the main
bottleneck toward the development of a carbon-neutral alternative energy. Taking inspiration …

Copper (I) diimine complexes have emerged as low cost replacements for ruthenium
complexes as light sensitizers and electron donors, but their shorter metal-to-ligand-charge …

Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DS-PECs) are receiving increasing attention as
a novel pathway for visible light-induced water splitting for hydrogen. As well-known, the …

Electron transfer (ET) across proteins is one of the fundamental processes in nature. While
trying to decipher and understand natural ET, much scientific effort has been employed in …

Interfacial dynamics are investigated in SnO2/TiO2 core/shell films derivatized with a Ru (II)-
polypyridyl chromophore ([RuII (bpy) 2 (4, 4′-(PO3H2) 2bpy)] 2+, RuP) using transient …

Abstract In this study, 2, 5-dithienylpyrrole (SNS) units were tethered to ruthenium (II)
bipiridyl complexes and electrochemically polymerized to obtain a new class of …
