Fluorescence quenching of phycoerythrin (PE) by a series of anthraquinone dyes has been investigated using steady state fluorescence technique in water medium. The dyes used were Uniblue, Acid blue 129, Alizarin and Alizarin red S. The quenching of PE was found to obey the Stern-Volmer equation and the corresponding Stern-Volmer plots were linear i...

Chlorophyll a is known as the prevailing light absorbing pigment giving a strong absorption and fluorescence emission in visible region. Quenching reactions of the chlorophyll a fluorescence by Fe(acac)3 were precisely investigated in various organic solvents which are benzene toluene, ethanol, methanol, dmf, dmso and acetonitrile. Electron transfe...
The Marcus theory of electron transfer predicts a bell-shaped dependence of the reaction rate on the reaction free energy. The top of the "inverted parabola" corresponds to zero activation barrier when the electron-transfer reorganization energy and the reaction free energy add up to zero. Although this point has traditionally been reached by alter...
The importance of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) continues to grow globally. Deriving the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) toward the 2e– pathway to form H2O2 is crucial for high H2O2 productivity. However, most selective electrocatalysts following the 2e– pathway comprise carbon‐containing organic materials with intrinsically low stability, thereby limit...
Electrochemical carbon dioxide capture recently emerged as a promising alternative approach to conventional energy-intensive carbon-capture methods. A common electrochemical capture approach is to employ redox-active molecules such as quinones. Upon electrochemical reduction, quinones become activated for the capture of CO2 through a chemical react...
Proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) from the excited state of [Ru(bpy)2pyimH]2+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; pyimH = 2-(2′-pyridyl)imidazole) to N-methyl-4,4′-bipyridinium (monoquat, MQ+) was studied. While this complex has been investigated previously, our study is the first to show that the formal bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of the imidaz...
