The selenium-substituted inactive form of mitochondrial aconitase contains one [3Fe-4Se]1+/0 cluster [Surerus, Kennedy, Beinert and Münck (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 9846-9850]. This cluster was studied in both oxidized and reduced states by magnetic CD (MCD) and EPR spectroscopy. In the MCD spectra, intensity and transition wavelength shifts are observed when compared with the spectra of the native [3Fe-4S]1+/0 cluster. These changes are used to differentiate between the charge-transfer transitions originating from inorganic and cysteinyl sulphur. Using also the data from the EPR spectra, the spin ground state is assigned as S = 1/2 for the oxidized [3Fe-4Se]1+ cluster and S = 2 for the reduced [3Fe-4Se]0 cluster.

AbstractA substitution of La3+ by Sr2+ in LaCoO3 induces holes in the low-spin ground state of the Co ions, which behave like magnetic impurities with a very high spin value (13 μB per hole). In this work, using single-crystal neutron spectroscopy, we prove that the charges introduced by strontium doping do not remain localized at the cobalt sites. Instead, each hole not only creates Co4+ in low-spin state, but it also transforms the six nearest neighboring Co3+ ions to the intermediate-spin state thereby forming a magnetic seven-site (heptamer) polaron. Spin-state polarons behave like magnetic nanoparticles embedded in an insulating nonmagnetic matrix. Therefore, lightly doped La1-xSrxCoO3 is a natural analog to artificial structures composed of ferromagnetic particles in insulating matrices.

The fluorescence quenching of 2-aminodiphenylamine (2ADPA), 4-aminodiphenylamine (4ADPA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenylamine (DADPA) with tetrachloromethane, chloroform and dichloromethane have been studied in hexane, dioxane, acetonitrile and methanol as solvents. The quenching rate constants for the process have also been obtained by measuring the lifetimes of the fluorophores. The quenching was found to be dynamic in all cases. For 2ADPA and 4ADPA, the quenching rate constants of CCl4 and CHCl3 depend on the viscosity, whereas in the case of CH2Cl2, kq depends on polarity. The quenching rate constants for DADPA with CCl4 are viscosity-dependent but the quenching with CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 depends on the polarity of the solvents. From the results, the quenching mechanism is explained by the formation of a non-emissive complex involving a charge-transfer interaction between the electronically excited fluorophores and ground-state chloromethanes.

The beam scattering method was used to investigate non-dissociative single-electron charge transfer between the molecular dication CO22+ and Ar or Ne at several collision energies between 3-10 eV (centre-of-mass, c.m.). Relative translational energy distributions of the product ions showed that in the reaction with Ar the CO2+ product was mainly formed in reactions of the ground state of the dication, CO22+(X3Σg-), leading to the excited states of the product CO2+(A2Πu) and CO2+(B2Σu+). In the reaction with Ne, the largest probability had the process from the reactant dication excited state CO22+(1Σg+) leading to the product ion ground state CO2+(X2Πg). Less probable were processes between the other excited states of the dication CO22+, (1∆g), (1Σu-), (3∆u), also leading to the product ion ground state CO2+(X2Πg). Using the Landau-Zener model of the reaction window, relative populations of the ground and excited states of the dication CO22+ in the reactant beam were roughly estimated as (X3Σg):(1∆g):(1Σg+):(1Σu-):(3∆u) = 1.0:0.6:0.5:0.25:0.25.
