Many light‐induced molecular processes involve a change in spin state and are formally
forbidden in non‐relativistic quantum theory. To make them happen, spin–orbit coupling …

In the past two decades, the combined density functional theory and multireference
configuration interaction (DFT/MRCI) method has developed from a powerful approach for …

In an effort to illuminate why nature has chosen a particular set of bio-molecular 'building-
blocks' for life, recent years have seen an up-surge of gas-phase spectroscopy experiments …

By combining UV transient absorption spectroscopy with sub-30-fs temporal resolution and
CASPT2/MM calculations, we present a complete description of the primary photoinduced …

A detailed understanding of radiative and nonradiative processes in peptides containing an
aromatic chromophore requires the knowledge of the nature and energy level of low-lying …

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy was used to obtain new information about the
dynamics of electronic relaxation in gas-phase indole and 5-hydroxyindole following UV …

We report a rotationally resolved analysis of the high resolution FTIR spectrum of
naphthalene which can be considered as a prototypical molecule for polycyclic aromatic …

Vibrational structure in the near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra of proteins is an
important source of information on protein conformation and can be exploited to study …

The valence and core-level photoelectron spectra of gaseous indole, 2, 3-dihydro-7-
azaindole, and 3-formylindole have been investigated using VUV and soft X-ray radiation …

Indole is a chromophore present in many different molecules of biological interest, such as
the essential amino acid tryptophan and the neurotransmitter serotonin. On the basis of …
