Abstract Chlorophyll-a derivatives were covalently linked with a π-extended boron aza-dipyrromethene moiety. In the synthetic dyads, photoinduced energy transfer from the former visible-light absorbing chlorin chromophore to the latter highly fluorescent unit in the near-infrared region was observed in a solution. The…

Antiferromagnetic and magnetoelectric Cr2O3-surfaces strongly affect the electronic properties in half metallic CrO2. We show the presence of a Cr2O3 surface layer on CrO3 grains by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The effect of these surface layers is demonstrated by measurements of the temperature v…
