TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution heat capacity measurements of the prototypic fullerene, C60, were presented between 13 and 300 K. The first-order phase transition is clearly observed at 257.6 K and is associated with enthalpy and entropy changes of 7.54 and 30.0 J K−1 mol−1, respectively.

TL;DR: The effects of confinement of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate on solvation dynamics and rotational relaxation of Coumarin 153 in Triton X-100/cyclohexane microemulsions have been explored using steady-state and picosecond time-resolved emission spectroscopy.
Abstract: The effects of confinement of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate on solvation dynamics and rotational relaxation of Coumarin 153 (C-153) in Triton X-100/cyclohexane microemulsions have been explored using steady-state and picosecond time-resolved emission spectroscopy. The steady-state and rotational relaxation data indicate that C-153 molecules are incorporated in the core of the microemulsions. The average rotational relaxation time increases with increase in w ([bmim][BF4]/[TX-100]) values. The solvent relaxation in the core of the microemulsion occurs on two different time scales and is almost insensitive to the increase in w values. The solvent relaxation is retarded in the pool of the microemulsions compared to the neat solvent. Though, the retardation is very small compared to several-fold retardation of the solvation time of the conventional solvent inside the pool of the microemulsions.

TL;DR: Although theoretical calculations of the conformation and stability of free oligosaccharides and of complexes with proteins can be carried out by molecular mechanics methods, the role of solvent water for these highly polar molecules continues to present computational problems.
Abstract: For nuclear magnetic resonance determinations of the conformation of oligosaccharides in solution, simple molecular mechanics calculations and nuclear Overhauser enhancement measurements are adequate for small oligosaccharides that adopt single, relatively rigid conformations. Polysaccharides and larger or more flexible oligosaccharides generally require additional types of data, such as scalar and dipolar coupling constants, which are most conveniently measured in 13C-enriched samples. Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation data provide information on the dynamics of oligosaccharides, which involves several different types of internal motion. Oligosaccharides complexed with lectins and antibodies have been successfully studied both by X-ray crystallography and by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The complexes have been shown to be stabilized by a combination of polar hydrogen bonding interactions and van der Waals attractions. Although theoretical calculations of the conformation and stability of free oligosaccharides and of complexes with proteins can be carried out by molecular mechanics methods, the role of solvent water for these highly polar molecules continues to present computational problems.

TL;DR: The results set an important precedent for extremely rapid, formally forbidden (DeltaS = 2) nonradiative relaxation as well as defining the time scale for intramolecular optical switching between two electronic states possessing vastly different spectroscopic, geometric, and magnetic properties.
Abstract: A combination of femtosecond electronic absorption and stimulated Raman spectroscopies has been employed to determine the kinetics associated with low-spin to high-spin conversion following charge-transfer excitation of a FeII spin-crossover system in solution. A time constant of τ = 190 ± 50 fs for the formation of the 5T2 ligand-field state was assigned based on the establishment of two isosbestic points in the ultraviolet in conjunction with changes in ligand stretching frequencies and Raman scattering amplitudes; additional dynamics observed in both the electronic and vibrational spectra further indicate that vibrational relaxation in the high-spin state occurs with a time constant of ca. 10 ps. The results set an important precedent for extremely rapid, formally forbidden (ΔS = 2) nonradiative relaxation as well as defining the time scale for intramolecular optical switching between two electronic states possessing vastly different spectroscopic, geometric, and magnetic properties.
