TL;DR: These studies demonstrate how the interplay of changes in the reorganization energy and the damping factor of the molecular bridges, in addition to variation in the solvent polarity, affect the outcome of charge-transfer and the corresponding rate constants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors successfully synthesized N-doped carbon quantum dots using a top-down approach, i.e., hydroxyl radical opening of fullerene with hydrogen peroxide, in basic ambient using ammonia for two different reaction times.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel family of nanocarbon-based materials was designed, synthesized, and probed within the context of charge-transfer cascades, where electron-donating ferrocenes with light-harvesting/electrondonating (metallo)porphyrins and electron-accepting graphene nanoplates (GNP) into multicomponent conjugates.

TL;DR: Steady-state fluorescence studies together with Raman and XPS measurements helped understanding the chemical and physical properties of the porphyrin ring in the new adduct, generating a new example of a long-range donor-acceptor system.

TL;DR: In this article, a CdTe quantum dot (QD) formation from a cadmium-carboxylate precursor, such as Cd(ISA)2, was investigated, and it was shown that in the polymeric matrix, the QDs formation is slower than in solution and the PL bands have a higher full width at half maximum.
