Vibrational absorption, vibrational circular dichroism and theoretical studies of methyl lactate molecules in solution phase and in argon matrices
DownloadSpring 2011
The infrared vibrational absorption (VA) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of methyl lactate in carbon tetrachloride and methanol have been measured in the 1000-1800 cm-1 region. Noticeable changes due to the solute self-aggregation and solvent-solute intermolecular...

Initial Excited-State Structural Dynamics and Damage Kinetics of Nucleic Acid Derivatives and a Rhodopsin Analogue
DownloadFall 2013
Photochemical reactions resulting from the absorption of ultraviolet light are one of the main causes of DNA damage. For any excited-state photochemical reaction, it is the structural changes in the excited state after the absorption of the photon that ultimately decide the photochemical fate...
