Direct measurement of hole transport dynamics in DNA.
Frederick D. Lewis,Xiaoyang Liu,Jianqin Liu,Scott E. Miller,Ryan T. Hayes,Michael R. Wasielewski +5 more
TL;DR: Spectroscopic measurements of photoinduced electron transfer in synthetic DNA yield rate constants that are faster than processes leading to strand cleavage, thus permitting holes to migrate over long distances in DNA, but are too slow to compete with charge recombination in contact ion pairs.

Competition between Conformational Relaxation and Intramolecular Electron Transfer within Phenothiazine−Pyrene Dyads†
Jörg Daub,R. Engl,Jana Kurzawa,Scott E. Miller,Siegfried Schneider,and A. Stockmann,Michael R. Wasielewski +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the competition between conformational dynamics and electron transfer within a series of phenothiazine-(phenyl)n-pyrene (n = 0, 1) electron donor−acceptor dyads of potential use in organic light emitting diodes was examined using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy.

Biomimetic electron transfer using low energy excited states: A green perylene-based analogue of chlorophyll a
TL;DR: In this article, a green chromophore, 1,7-bis(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-3,4:9,10-perylene-bis (dicarboximide) (5PDI), was prepared and incorporated into a wide variety of biomimetic electron donor−acceptor systems.

Femtosecond Optical Switching of Electron Transport Direction in Branched Donor−Acceptor Arrays
TL;DR: The branched donor−acceptor triad 4 and tetrad 5 were synthesized to study the possibility of controlling the direction of electron transfer in a divergent array of electron acceptors using ultrafa...

Structure and photoinduced electron transfer in exceptionally stable synthetic DNA hairpins with stilbenediether linkers
Frederick D. Lewis,Xiaoyang Liu,Yangsheng Wu,Scott E. Miller,Michael R. Wasielewski,Robert L. Letsinger,Ruslan Sanishvili,Andrzej Joachimiak,Valentina Tereshko,Martin Egli +9 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that conjugates possessing stilbenediether (SE) linkers form exceptionally stable ( poly)dT-SE-(poly)dA hairpins and mediates novel lattice interactions that are distinct from those normally found in DNA crystals.
