A molecular beam of halothane (2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane) is focused by a hexapolar electrostatic field and photolyzed by UV laser radiation at 234 nm. Angular and speed distributions of chlorine and bromine photofragments emitted from halothane are measured for both spin-orbit states independently. Although the dissociation energy of the C-Cl bond is larger than that of C-Br, the relative yield of Cl to Br was found to be approximately 2. Measured speed and angular distributions of atomic fragments show distinct kinetic energy release and scattering characteristics for bromine, observed fast and aligned fragments exhibit a signature of a direct mode of dissociation for the C-Br bond, via the electronically excited potential energy surface denoted nσ*(C-Br), of repulsive nature; for chlorine, a variation in the features is observed for the dissociation pathway through nσ*(C-Cl), from a modality similar to the bromine case, leading to fragments with appreciable kinetic energy release and pronounced directionality, to a modality involving slow products, nearly isotopically distributed. The origin of this behavior can be attributed to nonadiabatic interaction operating between the nσ*(C-Br) and nσ*(C-Cl) surfaces. These results are not only relevant for a detailed understanding of adiabatic versus diabatic coupling mechanisms in the manifold of excited states populated by photon absorption, but they also point out the possibility of selectively inducing specific dissociation pathways, even when involving energetically unfavorable outcomes, such as, in this case, the prevailing rupture of the stronger C-Cl bond against that of the weaker C-Br bond.Nanoporous graphene displays salt-dependent ion permeation. In this work, we investigate the differences in Donnan potentials arising between reservoirs, separated by a perforated graphene membrane, containing different cations. We compare the case of monovalent cations interacting with nanoporous graphene with the case of bivalent cations. This is accomplished through both measurements of membrane potential arising between two salt reservoirs at different concentrations involving a single cation (ionic potential) and between two reservoirs containing different cations at the same concentration (bi-ionic potential). In our present study, Donnan dialysis experiments involve bivalent MgCl2, CaCl2, and CuCl2 as well as monovalent KCl and NH4Cl salts. For all salts, except CuCl2, clear Donnan and diffusion potential plateaus were observed at low and high salt concentrations, respectively. Our observations show that the membrane potential scaled to the Nernst potential for bivalent cations has a lower value (≈50%) than for monovalent cations (≈72%) in the Donnan exclusion regime. This is likely due to the adsorption of these bivalent cations on monolayer graphene. For bivalent cations, the diffusion regime is reached at a lower ionic strength compared to the monovalent cations. For Mg2+ and Ca2+, the membrane potential does not seem to depend upon the type of ions in the entire ionic strength range. A similar behavior is observed for the KCl and NH4Cl membrane potential curves. For CuCl2, the membrane potential curve is shifted toward lower ionic strength compared to the other two bivalent salts and the Donnan plateau is not observed at the lowest ionic strength. Bi-ionic potential measurements give further insight into the strength of specific interactions, allowing for the estimation of the relative ionic selectivities of different cations based on comparing their bi-ionic potentials. This effect of possible ion adsorption on graphene can be removed through ion exchange with monovalent salts.Singlet fission (SF) is a spin-allowed carrier multiplication process that has potential to overcome the Shockley-Queisser limit of solar energy conversion efficiency for single-junction solar cells. It is of importance to prescreen appropriate SF candidates for both basic research and practical applications of SF. Besides common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) derivatives also undergo efficient SF. A series of DPP derivatives with fused aromatic substituents were investigated considering their conjugation length, constitution, and the introduction of terminal substituents. A comparison of SF properties between nonfused and fused aromatic-substituted DPP derivatives was carried out. Detailed analysis focused on elucidating the relationship between the frontier molecular orbital energies, multiple diradical characters, and SF-relevant excited-state energy levels. Compared to nonfused aromatic-substituted DPP derivatives, fused aromatic-substituted DPP derivatives which contain three aromatic units (thiophene or furan) still share more appropriate energy levels for SF sensitizers. Changing the five-membered aromatic units with benzene ring and introducing -F, -OMe, and -COOH as terminal substituents are both effective ways to improve their performance as SF sensitizers. The results of this research help us to understand the SF properties of DPP derivatives deeply and are beneficial for the design of new DPP-based SF sensitizers.The proteasome is a key protease in the eukaryotic cells which is responsible for various important cellular processes such as the control of the cell cycle, immune responses, protein homeostasis, inflammation, apoptosis, and the response to proteotoxic stress. Acting as a major molecular machine for protein degradation, proteasome first identifies damaged or obsolete regulatory proteins by attaching ubiquitin chains and subsequently utilizes conserved pore loops of the heterohexameric ring of AAA+ (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) to pull and mechanically unfold and translocate the misfolded protein to the active site for proteolysis. A detailed knowledge of the reaction mechanism for this proteasomal proteolysis is of central importance, both for fundamental understanding and for drug discovery. TEPP-46 order The present study investigates the mechanism of the proteolysis by the proteasome with full consideration of the protein's flexibility and its impact on the reaction free energy. Major attention is paid to the role of the protein electrostatics in determining the activation barriers.
