Enantioselective synthesis of a two-fold inherently chiral molecular nanographen

Manuel Buendía, Jesús M. Fernández-García, Josefina Perles, Salvatore Filippone & Nazario Martín Nature Synthesis 2023 The introduction and precise control of stereogenic elements in chemical structures is typically a challenging task. Most asymmetric methods require the presence of a heteroatom in the starting substrates acting as an anchor point for the successful transfer of chiral…

Curved Nanographenes: Multiple Emission, Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence, and Non-Radiative Decay

García-Fresnadillo, David Martín, Nazario Wannemacher, Reinhold Fernández-García, Jesús Manuel Corral, Inés Ramírez-Barroso, Sergio Romeo-Gella, Fernando Feng, Siyang Martínez-Fernández, Lara Advanced Materials 2023 The intriguing and rich photophysical properties of three curved nanographenes (CNG), each containing a corannulene (Cor) and a tert-butylhexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC-tBu) fragment, have been investigated as a function of their structural design (loose-helicene, CNG…

Ensemble effects on the reconstruction of attosecond pulses and photoemission time delays

Vismarra, F; Wu, Y; Mocci, D; Nisoli, M; Lucchini, M JPHYS PHOTONICS 2023 Since the first demonstration of the generation of attosecond pulses (1 as = 10(-18) s) in the extreme-ultraviolet spectral region, several measurement techniques have been introduced, at the beginning for the temporal characterization of the pulses, and immediately after for the investigation…

Attosecond spectroscopy for the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in atomic, molecular and solid-state physics

Lucchini, Matteo & Nisoli, Mauro REPORTS ON PROGRESS IN PHYSICS 2023 Since the first demonstration of the generation of attosecond pulses (1 as = 10(-18) s) in the extreme-ultraviolet spectral region, several measurement techniques have been introduced, at the beginning for the temporal characterization of the pulses, and immediately after for the investigation of electronic…

Attosecond photoionization delays in the vicinity of molecular Feshbach resonances

VICENT J. BORRÀS, JESÚS GONZÁLEZ-VÁZQUEZ, LUCA ARGENTI, AND FERNANDO MARTÍN Temporal delays extracted from photoionization phases are currently determined with attosecond resolution by using interferometric methods. Such methods require special care when photoionization occurs near Feshbach resonances due to the interference between direct ionization and autoionization. Although theory can accurately handle these interferences in atoms,…

Helical Bilayer Nanographenes: Impact of the Helicene Length on the Structural, Electrochemical, Photophysical, and Chiroptical Properties

Patricia Izquierdo-García, Jesús M. Fernández-García, Samara Medina Rivero, Michal Šámal, Jiří Rybáček, Lucie Bednárová, Sergio Ramírez-Barroso, Francisco J. Ramírez, Rafael Rodríguez, Josefina Perles, David García-Fresnadillo, Jeanne Crassous, Juan Casado, Irena G. Stará, and Nazario Martín Helical bilayer nanographenes (HBNGs) are chiral π-extended aromatic compounds consisting of two π–π stacked hexabenzocoronenes (HBCs) joined by a helicene,…

Attosecond spectroscopy for the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in atomic, molecular and solid-state physics

Rocío Borrego-Varillas, Matteo Lucchini and Mauro Nisoli Since the first demonstration of the generation of attosecond pulses (1 as = 10−18 s) in the extreme-ultraviolet spectral region, several measurement techniques have been introduced, at the beginning for the temporal characterization of the pulses, and immediately after for the investigation of electronic and nuclear ultrafast dynamics in atoms, molecules and…
