Why Emission from S2?
Energy difference between S1 and S2 very small, around
1 eV or smaller. Higher population of S2 than in usual
organic molecules.
Vibronic coupling matrix elements between S2 (u-type
symmetry) and S0/S1 (g-type symmetry) since low energy
molecular vibrations of circles behave as x2, y2 (g-type)
radiationless decay from S2 “blocked”
Consequence:
-Emission from S2 easily possible in case of large n,
while small CPP with ndistort also in x,y and emission
becomes possible from S1.
-Red shift for small n> red shift for large n
appearance of “blue shift” with increasing size n

OUR GOAL is to develop “transformative bio-molecules”, innovative functional
molecules that make a marked change in the form and nature of biological science and
technology.
Institute of Transformative Bio-
Molecules (Nagoya University)
EXPECTED OUTCOME
Our ten-year campaign will culminate in a wealth
of synthetic bio-molecules that will be key to
solving urgent problems at the interface of
chemistry and biology. The innovation in
food/biomass production, optical technologies,
and generation of new bio-energy can be
imagined as our dream.
THE IDENTITYof the Center is its capability to
synthesize completely new bio-functional
molecules with carefully designed functions.
OUR UNIQUE APPROACH is to apply our
cutting-edge synthesis (molecule-activation
chemistry), with the support of computational
chemistry, to synthesize key molecules to explore
advanced systems biology in plants and
animals.
Several Postdoc positions open at the WPI!
