• An Ultra-Long-Lived Triplet Excited State in Water at Room Temperature: Insights on the Molecular Design of Tridecafullerenes 

      Ramos-Soriano, Javier; Pérez-Sánchez, Alfonso; Ramírez-Barroso, Sergio; Beatriz, Illescas; AZMANI, KHALID; Rodriguez-Fortea, Antonio; Poblet, Josep M.; Hally, Cormac Elias; Nonell, Santi; García-Fresnadillo, David; Rojo, Javier; Martín, Nazario; Nonell (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2021-05-13)
      Suitably engineered molecular systems exhibiting triplet excited states with very long lifetimes are important for high-end applications in nonlinear optics, photocatalysis, or biomedicine. We report ...
    • Development of green/red-absorbing chromophores based on a coumarin scaffold that are useful as caging groups 

      Nonell, Santi; Gandioso, Albert; Contreras, Sara; Melnyk, Ivanna; Oliva, Javier; Velasco Castrillo, Dolores; Garcia Amorós, Jaume; Marchán Sancho, Vicente (Journal of Organic Chemistry. Vol.82, n.10 (2017), p.5398-5408, 2017-05)
      We report the design, synthesis, and spectroscopic characterization of a series of push–pull chromophores based on a novel coumarin scaffold in which the carbonyl of the lactone function of the original ...
    • Optical writing and reading with a photoactivatable carbazole 

      Nonell, Santi; Garcia Amorós, Jaume; Swaminathan, Subramani; Zhang, Yang; Raymo, Françisco M. (Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Vol.17, n.17 (2015), p.11140-11143, 2015-03)
      The fluorescence of a carbazole chromophore can be activated irreversibly under optical control with the photoinduced opening of an oxazine ring. In proximity to silver nanoparticles, the quantum ...
