TL;DR: Several bis-steroids derived from conessine or cholic acid solubilise perylene into aqueous solution without evidence of micelle formation, and cause spectral changes in pinacyanol iodide; however, these effects (characteristic of hydrophobic interaction) only on micellisation or not at all as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pump-probe-type technique is proposed to manipulate the D2+ ion with ultrashort pulse sequences, which can be used to realize a vibrational qubit.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental technique for the comparison of ionization processes in ultrafast laser pulses irrespective of pulse ellipticity is presented. And the probability of recollision ionization in a linearly polarized laser pulse is discussed in terms of the Keldysh adiabaticity parameter {gamma}, and the influence of the precursor ionic states present in recollison ionization is observed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photolysis of benzyl chloride, bromide, iodide, and acetate in methanol and t-butyl alcohol has been examined, and also 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl chloride in ethanol.

TL;DR: In this article, the photolysis of a range of benzyltrimethylammonium and 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl trimethylmonium salts in water or methanol at 253.7 nm gave typically benzyl alcohols (or benzyl methyl ethers), toluenes, bibenzyls and isomers, and di- and tri-methylammium salts.
