Abstract The study of the fate of electronically excited radical and radical cation of aromatic hydrocarbons is an emerging topic in modern chemical dynamics. Observations like low quantum yield of fluorescence and photostability are of immediate concern to unravel the mechanism of ultrafast nonradiative internal conversion dynamics in such systems. The radical cations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have received considerable attention in this context and invited critical measurements of their optical spectroscopy in a laboratory, in striving to understand the enigmatic diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs).

To proceed, we note that the initial state (0)) usually represents a coherent state on the excited-state potential surface (because of the assumed broadband excitation). Moreover, as emphasized in Sec. 2 above, the strong nonadiabatic coupling effects at conical intersections may lead to a pronounced mixing of vibrational levels of the upper and lower of the intersecting surfaces. For these reasons, it is appropriate to introduce the overall electronic population Pi t) (of electronic state i) as a direct and natural measure of the internal-conversion dynamics on strongly coupled surfaces. The population of electronic state 1 ) is defined as the expectation value of the projection operator... 

Let us briefly review what MQC methods have so far been applied to the dynamics at conical intersections. Here the surface-hopping method has been the most popular approach, " in particular in combination with an on-the-fly ab initio evaluation of the potential-energy. Furthermore, various self-consistent-field methods have been employed to describe internal-conversion dynamics associated with a conical intersection, including the mean-field trajectory method, the classical electron...

Transaminases can either be uhlized in kinetic resolution or as)unmetric synthesis (Scheme 29.3). Asymmetric synthesis, starting with a prochiral ketone substrate, can theoretically lead to 100% conversion and is usually the preferred route to chiral products (Scheme 29.3a). Furthermore high enantiomeric purity is not dependent on conversion rates, whereas a kinetic resolution (Scheme 29.3b) needs 50% conversion for a high enantiomeric excess (ee). But kinetic resolution is thermodynamically favored, if pyruvate is the amino acceptor, compared to as5munetric synthesis where the equilibrium lies on the substrate side [5,34]. To achieve 100% conversion, dynamic kinetic resolution serves as an alternahve with spontaneous deracemization or the initiation of a suitable racemate for enantiomerically pure substrates (Scheme 29.3c). Deracemization in a one-pot two-step reaction with an (S)-and (R)-selective transaminase, respectively, is a method of choice, but unfortunately two enantiocomplemen-tary enzymes are needed (Scheme 29.3d) [35]. Therefore deracemization with a dehydrogenase in the kinetic resolution step and a transaminase in the following step... 

The creation of this cover design has gone through many versions of artwork by Elise Weinger. The cover design was adapted from the Tai CM symbol. It is not our intention to advocate or to discredit Taoism. Similarities are drawn between Yin-Yang and the polarity in electrochemical conversion. Dynamic interactions of polarity and ions leads to devices and applications. Connotations of recycle, regeneration, conversion, and harmony build the vision of sustainability.
