The structure-spectroscopy-function relationship of 1,1',1,3,3'-tetraethyl-5,5',6,6'-tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine (TTBC) aggregates is studied using a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques. The aggregates are macroscopically aligned in poly-vinyl-alcohol thin films by vertical spin coating. Angular dependence of the UV-Vis spectra is measured at eleven different orientations between the electric field polarization and the macroscopic alignment axis. The aggregates are characterized by a pair of Davydov split bands with opposite polarization behaviors: an H-band (505 nm) and a J-band (594 nm) polarized respectively, close to being parallel and perpendicular to the alignment axis. Spectral response is interpreted via simulations within the Frenkel exciton formalism. TTBC aggregates are shown to assume very similar internal molecular packing (herringbone) and dynamics of excited states (phonon-assisted intraband and interband relaxations) in ionic aqueous solution and in thin films. The general conclusions on the structure-spectroscopy-function relationship are expected to hold for other cyanine aggregates with the same generic spectral features.

The valence electronic structure and conformational flexibility of epichlorohydrin Stranges, S.; Alagia, M.; Decleva, P.; Stener, M.; Fronzoni, G.; Toffolı, Danıele; Speranza, M.; Catone, D.; Turchini, S.; Prosperi, T.; Zema, N.; Contini, G.; Keheyan, Y. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011-01-01) The electronic structure of epichlorohydrin is investigated in the whole valence region by a combined experimental and theoretical study. The issue of controversial assignments of the molecular electronic structure is here addressed. Photoelectron spectra (PES) and Threshold Photoelectron spectra (TPES) of room temperature molecules in the gas phase are recorded. Geometries and energies of the stable conformers due to internal rotation of the C-C-C-Cl dihedral angle, gauche-II (g-II), gauche-I (g-I), and ci...
Vibrational spectroscopy of hydrogen-bonded systems: Six-dimensional simulation of the IR spectrum of F-(H2O) complex Toffolı, Danıele; Sparta, Manuel; Christiansen, Ove (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-24) The vibrational dynamics of the F-(H2O) complex is studied using highly accurate six-dimensional molecular potential energy and dipole moment surfaces calculated at the CCSD (T)/cc-pVQZ and CCSD (T)/augcc-pVTZ levels with a multiresolution approach. The extent of mode-coupling is investigated with full vibrational configuration-interaction (FVCI) calculations. Coriolis coupling effects are also included with the aim to obtain quantitative agreement with the experimental data available. The vibrational absor...
STRUCTURAL STABILITY AND ENERGETICS OF SI4 ISOMERS - TOTAL ELECTRONIC-ENERGY CALCULATION Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (Elsevier BV, 1991-09-20) The structural stability and energetics of Si4 isomers have been investigated by using an empirical tight-binding (ETB) method. It has been found that the most stable Si4 microcluster is an exact tetrahedron with T(d) symmetry.
Calculation of the Raman Linewidths of Lattice Modes Close to the alpha-beta Transition in Quartz Lider, Mustafa Cem; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2012-12-01) The Raman frequencies of the lattice modes (147 cm(-1) and 207 cm(-1)) are analyzed for the alpha-beta transition in quartz according to a power-law formula with the critical exponent by using the experimental data. The temperature dependence of the Raman frequency is associated with the order parameter (polarization P) for this transition in the quartz crystal.
Observation of the Associated Production of a Single Top Quark - and a W Boson in pp Collisions at root s=8 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2014-06-01) The first observation of the associated production of a single top quark and a W boson is presented. The analysis is based on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.2 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 8 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Events with two leptons and a jet originating from a b quark are selected. A multivariate analysis based on kinematic and topological properties is used to separate the signal from the dominant (tt) over bar background. An excess...
