Hi all,
Tomorrow Danny will talk at group meeting. His title and abstract are below.
See you there,

Title: The molecular space of candidates for binary gates in organic
exciton processing and signaling
Abstract:
The ability to regulate energy transfer pathways through materials is an
important goal of nanotechnology, as a greater degree of control is crucial
for developing sensing, solar energy, and bioimaging applications. Such
control necessitates a toolbox of actuation methods that can direct energy
transfer based on user input. Molecular exciton gates can potentially
control exciton migration in chromophoric systems. The type of gate of
interest for this talk is called an "S2 exciton gate" and does not require
isomerization or molecular rearrangement to function. Molecules that can
serve as components of this gate type must satisfy certain constraints on
their electronic structure. This talk presents results of a virtual
screening of a few hundred azulene-related candidates and shows a some
candidates satisfy these constraints.
