Molecular Approaches and Structural Insights into Correlated Triplet Pair Dynamics in Intramolecular Singlet Fission
Singlet Fission (SF) is a bichromophoric process whereby a singlet exciton is converted to two triplet excitons through an overall spin-conserved process. The last decade has seen an upsurge in SF research driven by its ... -
Molecular dynamics of the sorption and diffusion behaviour of spherical sorbates in the confined region of zeolites Y and A
The sorbate–zeolite RDFs and sorbate–zeolite energy distribution functions suggest that the sorbates are largely localized inside the cages at the lowest temperature (188 K) studied. At low temperature, the sorbate prefers ... -
