TL;DR: It is shown that the origin of the greater strength of hydrogen bonds in the hydrophobic hydration shell when compared to bulk water correlates with the depletion of water nearest neighbors around apolar moieties.

TL;DR: In this article, a new, alternative form of the golden rule formula for defining the nonadiabatic transition rate between two quantum states in condensed phase is presented, which involves the quantum time correlation function of the energy gap, of nonadiabo-abatic coupling, and their cross terms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the simulation results are directly compared to two available data sets obtained experimentally via ultrafast absorption spectroscopy, and it is pointed out that a number of available, and apparently different, hypotheses for the sequence of species present during electronic relaxation share key features with this mechanism.

TL;DR: Single-molecule spectroscopy studies of a fluorinated CP show that backbone fluorination does, in fact, lead to more planar polymer chains and highly ordered aggregates, and surprisingly, the ordered and close interchain packing in F-P3EHT does not lead to strong excitonic coupling between the chains but rather to dominant intrachain excitonics coupling that greatly reduces the molecular energetic heterogeneity.
