Weller studies

The energy dependence of charge separation is most readily scrutinized and it was investigated first in considerable detail. Rehm and Weller studied rate constants of fluorescence quenching for a series of more than 60 organic donor-acceptor pairs and found a maximum rate of electron transfer, essentially diffusion limited, without any indication for an inverted region (Fig. 6) [136]. These results were at variance with the existing theories, but they could be rationalized on the basis...

The observed synchronization of the menstrual cycles of women living together in an all-female institution is ascribed to the effect of a primer pheromone and led to several earlier studies (e.g. [149,150]). Later results supported the pheromonal explanation of synchrony [151]. In an evaluation of the research on menstrual synchrony between mothers and daughters against the background of the results of other investigations, Weller and Weller [152] concluded that there are indications that menstrual synchrony could be affected by both pheromonal and environmental influences, and the interaction between them.

The axillary odor of women, collected over 10 different 3-day sections of the menstrual cycle and applied to the upper lip of recipients, had a different effect. The cycles of the receiving women became more synchronized with the cycle of the donor female (Preti et al, 1986), measured as difference in menses onset in terms of days. Wilson (1987) and Weller and Weller (1993) have criticized these experiments but still they remain pioneering studies in an extremely difficult field.

Cuprous Salts in Quinoline and Other Amines. The first homogeneous hydrogenation reaction to be recognized and studied was the reduction of cupric acetate in quinoline solution. Following Calvin s pioneering work in 1938 (4, 5), this and related systems have been examined by a number of other workers including, Weller et al. 89, 30) and Wilmarth et al. (31-33).

Axe and Weller (52) studied fluorescence and energy transfer of europium in yttrium oxide. In an experiment somewhat similar to that of Peterson and Bridenbaugh (54) on terbium, Axe and Weller were able to obtain experimental evidence for nonradiative-energy transfer between europium and other trivalent rare earth ions. Their study included both intensity and fluorescent-lifetime measurements. 

Although the occurrence of photoinduced electron transfer between organic redox participants can be roughly predicted by Rehm and Weller s empirical relationship, detailed study of such processes will provide a stimulating and highly productive research area for many years to come.
