Photodissociation of interstellar ArH+ [PDF]
Aims. Following the recent detection of 36ArH+ in the Crab nebula spectrum, we have computed the photodissociation rate of ArH+ in order to constrain the physical processes at work in this environment. Methods. Photodissociation cross sections of ArH+ are computed in an ab initio approach including explicit account of spin-orbit coupling. Results.

Photodissociation of water in crystalline ice: a molecular dynamics study [PDF]
Ultraviolet irradiation of ice is of great interest for understanding the chemistry in both atmospheric and astrophysical environments. In interstellar space, photodissociation of H2O molecules can be a driving force behind the chemistry on icy dust grains in dense, cold molecular clouds even though the flux of UV photons is extremely low.

Photodissociation of $$ \mathrm{Cr}{\left(\mathrm{CO}\right)}_4\mathrm{bpy} $$ : A Non-Adiabatic Dynamics Investigation. [PDF]
Carbonyl complexes of $d^6$ metals with an alpha-diimine ligand exhibit both emission and ligand-selective photodissociation from MLCT states. Studying this photodissociative mechanism is challenging for experimental approaches due to an ultrafast femtosecond timescale and spectral overlap of multiple photoproducts. The photochemistry of a prototypical

Non-Equilibrium Photodissociation Regions: Ionization-Dissociation Fronts [PDF]
We discuss the theory of coupled ionization--dissociation fronts produced when molecular clouds are exposed to $\lambda < 1110$\AA\ radiation from hot stars. A steady, composite structure is developed, which generally includes an ionized outflow away from the cloud, an ionization front, a layer of photodissociated gas, a photodissociation front, and a ...

The photodissociation and chemistry of CO isotopologues: applications to interstellar clouds and circumstellar disks [PDF]
Aims. Photodissociation by UV light is an important destruction mechanism for CO in many astrophysical environments, ranging from interstellar clouds to protoplanetary disks. The aim of this work is to gain a better understanding of the depth dependence and isotope-selective nature of this process. Methods.

The population on 6p2 3P2 metastable state and 6p2 3P0 ground state of Pb atoms are de-monstrated, which are originated from dissociating PbCl2 by the fourth harmonic of YAG lasers. The population ratio of 3P2 to 3P0 is measured in terms of laser-induced fluorescence.

Simulation-guided engineering of split GFPs with efficient β-strand photodissociation [PDF]
Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) are ubiquitous for protein tagging and live-cell imaging. Split-GFPs are widely used to study protein-protein interactions by fusing proteins of interest to split GFP fragments that create a fluorophore upon typically ...

Enantioselective Complexation of Protonated Tyrosine by a Chiral Crown-ether: The Nature of the Hydrogen Bonds Makes the Difference. [PDF]
Conformer‐selective laser spectroscopy under cryogenic ion trap conditions unravels the binding preference of a chiral crown ether for one of the enantiomers of an amino acid. The preference of (‐) (18‐crown‐6)‐tetracarboxylic acid for (L) relative to (D) ‐ tyrosine results from different hydrogen bonds pattern.

Photodissociation of interstellar N2 [PDF]
Molecular nitrogen is one of the key species in the chemistry of interstellar clouds and protoplanetary disks and the partitioning of nitrogen between N and N2 controls the formation of more complex prebiotic nitrogen-containing species.

Photodissociation dynamics of N3+ [PDF]
The photodissociation dynamics of N3+ excited from its (linear) 3Σg−/(bent) 3A″ ground to the first excited singlet and triplet states is investigated. Three-dimensional potential energy surfaces for the 1A′, 1A″, and 3A′ electronic states, correlating with the 1Δg and 3Πu states in linear geometry, for N3+ are constructed using high-level electronic ...
