Alignment chemical structures

FIGURE 3.4 Molecular level alignment diagrams constructed using the HOMO and vacuum levels measured using UPS. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital LUMO positions are inferred assuming a HOMO/LUMO gap equal to the onset of optical absorption. The chemical structure of CuPc is shown.

Intensive effort has been devoted to the optimization of CCP structures for improved fluorescence output of CCP-based FRET assays. The inherent optoelectronic properties of CCPs make PET one of the most detrimental processes for FRET. Before considering the parameters in the Forster equation, it is of primary concern to reduce the probability of PET. As the competition between FRET and PET is mainly determined by the energy level alignment between donor and acceptor, it can be minimized by careful choice of CCP and C. A series of cationic poly(fluorene-co-phenylene) (PFP) derivatives (IBr, 9, 10 and 11, chemical structures in Scheme 8) was synthesized to fine-tune the donor/acceptor energy levels for improved FRET [70]. FI or Tex Red (TR) labeled ssDNAg (5 -ATC TTG ACT ATG TGG GTG CT-3 ) were chosen as the energy acceptor. The emission spectra of IBr, 9, 10 and 11 are similar in shape with emission maxima at 415, 410, 414 and 410 nm, respectively. The overlap between the emission of these polymers and the absorption of FI or TR is thus similar. Their electrochemical properties were determined by cyclic voltammetry experiments. The calculated HOMO and LUMO... 

Molecular alignments are most often selected to align portions of the ligands of similar chemical structures (scaffolds) to emphasize regions of similarity in the set of molecules of interest. But what, if using different alignment schemes,...

Liposomes are microscopic vesicles consisting of one or more phospholipid membranes surrounding a discrete water compartment. The lipid layer is composed of amphipathic phospholipids whose hydrophobic tails associate, while the polar hydrophihc heads align toward the bulk of the water phase. A variety of hposomes with unique physical and chemical structure can be manufactured by altering non-polar and polar groups. Excellent reviews have been recently pubhshed...
