Problematika Permohonan Grasi Menurut Undang-undang Nomor 22 Tahun 2002
According to executor attorney opinion, no time limit for application clemency, it wills be performing deep constraint on dead punishment execution. Execution of dead punishment also constraint by rule that allows criminal to propose the second clemency application. This constraint still is added by condition that second clemency application is two years of first clemency rejection. Meanwhile according to criminal lawyer reception, with no rule upon, constitute a advantage by criminal dead, since it can propose clemency without time limit for first clemency application and also second application, so execution could be delayed. At Yogyakarta court since year 2002 until now there is no criminal propose clemencies. It is caused, firstly, certain verdict type that could be requested for clemency, secondary by apply clemency cause dead sentence is no postpone except for dead verdict, thirdly most criminal on narcotic and drug abuse case was pleased with first grade verdict
Synthesis and Properties of Bingel-type Methanofullerene−π-Extended-TTF Diads and Triads
Novel C60/π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) diads (12a−c) and triads [D2A (14a−c) and DA2
(25, 27a−c)] have been synthesized by the Bingel cyclopropanation reaction of the respective exTTF-containing malonates and [60]fullerene. The reaction of exTTF-bismalonates with C60 affords the
respective C60−exTTF diads (26a−c) together with the triad C60−exTTF−C60 (25, 27a−c) and a
regioisomeric mixture of bisadducts (28b−c). Theoretical calculations (PM3) predict the favored
geometry for triads 14a−c depending upon the orientation (up and down) of the 1,3-dithiole rings
in the exTTFs, as well as the more stable regioisomers for the bisadducts 28. Cyclic voltammetry
measurements reveal that C60 and exTTF units do not intereact in the ground state. Compounds
26a−c and 27a−c are not electrochemically stable. A photoinduced electron transfer leading to
the formation of the radical pair (C60-−exTTF•+) has been observed for compounds 14a−c
Synthesis and Photophysical Investigation of New Porphyrin Derivatives with β-Pyrrole Ethynyl Linkage and Corresponding Dyad with [60] Fullerene
Two new β-substituted arylethynyl meso-tetraphenylporphyrins, 2-[(4‘-formyl)phenyl]ethynyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (system A) and 2-[(4‘-methyl)phenyl]ethynyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (system
B) and their zinc derivatives were synthesized by palladium catalysis, using a synthetic approach that affords
high yields of the target systems. Comparative ultraviolet−visible (UV−vis), NMR, and cyclic voltammetry
studies of such macrocycles reveal the presence of an extensive conjugation between the tetrapyrrolic ring
and the linker, through π−π orbital interaction. This interaction was observed in the form of a “push−pull”
effect that moves the electronic charge between the porphyrin and the aldehyde group of system A. System
B, bearing a methyl group instead of the formyl group, was synthesized in order to evaluate the effect of the
substitution on the charge delocalization, which is necessary to corroborate the push−pull mechanism
hypothesis. The new porphyrin, system A, was also used as a starting material for the synthesis of new
porphyrin−fullerene dyads in which the [60]fullerene is directly linked to the tetrapyrrolic rings by
ethynylenephenylene subunits. Fluorescence and transient absorption measurements of the new dyads reveal
that ultrafast energy and electron transfer occur, respectively, in nonpolar and polar solvents, with high values
of the rate constant. The UV−vis, NMR, and cyclic voltammetry results show that it is possible for both
energy and electron transfer between porphyrin and fullerene to take place through the π-bond interaction.
Such results evidence that the coupling between the donor and acceptor moieties is strong enough for possible
photovoltaic applications
Zero- versus One-Dimensional Water-Soluble CdTe NanocrystalsSynthesis and Photophysical Characterization
This work demonstrates the systematic development and characterization of water-soluble one-dimensional
nanorods of CdTe (QR) with the assistance of a mixed ligand system, namely, a combination of
2-(dimethylamino)ethanethiol and cysteine, that both serve as surface stabilizers. Their characterization has
been accomplished by means of a wide range of microscopic and photophysical techniques. The corresponding
three-dimensional quantum dots of CdTe (QD) emerged as important reference systems, especially for the
different photophysical assays. The latter were exclusively formed when just 2-(dimethylamino)ethanethiol
was used as surface stabilizer. A maximum photoluminescence quantum yield of 25% was estimated for QR
samples that were refluxed in water for approximately 11 h. Such remarkably high quantum yields, which
are appreciably higher than what is seen for the analogous QD, point to a successful control over defects,
trapping states, etc. In line with this trend is the observation that the excited-state lifetime of the QR is longer
than in analogous QD
Pairing Fullerenes and Porphyrins: Supramolecular Wires That Exhibit Charge Transfer Activity
A concept is elaborated of pairing electron donors and electron acceptors that share a common trait, wire-like features, as a powerful means to realize a new and versatile class of electron donor−acceptor nanohybrids. Important variables are fine-tuning (i) the complexation strength, (ii) the electron/energy transfer behavior, and (iii) the solubilities of the resulting architectures. In particular, a series of supramolecular porphyrin/fullerene hybrids assembled by the hydrogen bonding of Hamilton receptor/cyanuric acid motif has been realized. Putting the aforementioned variables into action, the association constants (Kass), as they were determined from 1H NMR and steady-state fluorescence assays, were successfully tweaked with values in the range of 104−105 M−1. In fact, our detailed studies corroborate that the latter reveal a dependence on the nature of the spacer, that is, p-phenylene-ethynylene, p-phenylene-vinylene, p-ethynylene, and fluorene, as well as on the length of the spacer. Complementary performed transient absorption studies confirm that electron transfer is indeed the modus operandi in our novel class of electron donor−acceptor nanohybrids, while energy transfer plays, if any, only a minor role. The accordingly formed electron transfer products, that is, one-electron oxidized porphyrins and one-electron reduced fullerenes, are long-lived with lifetimes that reach well into the time domain of tens of nanoseconds. Finally, we have used the distance dependence on electron transfer, charge separation and charge recombination, to determine for the first time a β value (0.11 Å−1) for hydrogen-bonding-mediated electron transfer
Highly Coupled Dyads Based on Phthalocyanine−Ruthenium(II) Tris(bipyridine) Complexes. Synthesis and Photoinduced Processes
A new series of multicomponent ZnPc−Ru(bpy)3 systems, 1a−c, consisting of a zinc-phthalocyanine
linked through conjugated and/or nonconjugated connections to a ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridine)
complex, has been synthesized. The ruthenium complexes 1a−c were prepared from phthalocyanines
2a−c, bearing a 4-substituted-2,2‘-bipyridine ligand by treatment with [Ru(bpy)2Cl2]·2H2O. Different
synthetic strategies have been devised to prepare the corresponding dyad precursors (2a−c).
Compound 2a, for example, with an ethenyl bridge, was synthesized by statistical condensation of
4-tert-butylphthalonitrile and 5-[(E)-2-(3,4-dicyanophenyl)ethenyl]-2,2‘-bipyridine (3) in the presence
of zinc chloride. Compounds 2b and 2c, having, respectively, an amide or an ethynyl bridge, were
prepared following a different synthetic approach. The method involves the coupling of an
appropriate 5-substituted-2,2‘-bipyridine to an unsymmetrical phthalocyanine suitably functionalized with an amino (4) or an ethynyl group (5). The photophysical properties of the dyads that
are ZnPc−Ru(bpy)3 1a−c and related model compounds have been determined by a variety of steady-state (i.e., fluorescence) and time-resolved methods (i.e., fluorescence and transient absorption).
Clearly, intramolecular electronic interactions between the two subunits dominate the photophysical
events following the initial excitation of either chromophore. These intramolecular interactions
lead, in the case of photoexcited ZnPc, to faster intersystem crossing kinetics compared to a ZnPc
reference, while photoexcited [Ru(bpy)3]2+ undergoes a rapid and efficient transduction of triplet
excited-state energy to the Pc
Addition Reaction of Azido-exTTFs to C<sub>60</sub>: Synthesis of Fullerotriazoline and Azafulleroid Electroactive Dyads
The addition reaction of azido-exTTFs to C60 affords electroactive fullerotriazoline and azafulleroid dyads, which behave as amphoteric redox
systems. Fluorescence experiments and transient absorption spectroscopy reveal that excitation of the fullerene moiety leads to radical pair
lifetimes that are 2 orders of magnitude higher than those previously reported for related fullerotriazolines
Novel Porphyrin-Fullerene Assemblies: from Rotaxanes to Catenanes
Titration of porphyrin-fullerene rotaxanes with DABCO or 4,4‘-bipyridine led to photo- and redoxactive catenanic architectures, which upon
photoexcitation undergo a sequence of short-range energy and electron transfer events to give a long-lived charge-separated radical-pair
state
Improved Carrier Collection and Hot Electron Extraction Across Perovskite, C<sub>60</sub>, and TiO<sub>2</sub> Interfaces
The use of C60 as an interfacial layer between TiO2 and methylammonium
lead iodide perovskite is probed to reduce
the current–voltage hysteresis in perovskite solar cells (PSCs)
and, in turn, to impact the interfacial carrier injection and recombination
processes that limit solar cell efficiencies. Detailed kinetic analyses
across different time scales, that is, from the femtoseconds to the
seconds, reveal that the charge carrier lifetimes as well as the charge
injection and charge recombination dynamics depend largely on the
presence or absence of C60. In addition, we corroborate
that C60 is applicable in hot carrier PSCs as it is capable
of extracting hot carriers generated throughout the early time scales
following photoexcitation
Drastic Changes in the Lifetime and Electron Transfer and Energy Transfer Reactivity of the Triplet Excited State of <i>p</i>-Benzoquinone by Complex Formation with Scandium Ion Salts
Metal-ion salts such as scandium triflate form strong complexes with the triplet excited state of p-benzoquinone,
which have extremely long lifetimes as compared with the lifetime of the uncomplexed quinone triplet, whereas
no complex is formed with metal-ion salts in the ground state. The absorption maxima (λmax) of triplet−triplet absorption of the metal-ion salt complexes are red-shifted from the λmax value of the uncomplexed
quinone triplet and vary depending on the Lewis acidity of the metal-ion salts. The rate of the complexation
of the triplet excited state with scandium triflate is determined, obeying pseudo-first-order kinetics. The pseudo-first-order rate constant increases linearly with increasing metal-ion concentration. The transient absorption
spectra of donor radical cations produced by photoinduced electron transfer from N,N-dimethylanilines to the
triplet excited state of p-benzoquinone are detected by laser-flash photolysis measurements, whereas no such
radical cations are detected in the presence of scandium triflate under otherwise the same experimental
conditions. Thus, the electron transfer reactivity of the triplet excited state complex of p-benzoquinone with
scandium triflate toward electron donors is diminished significantly as compared with that of the uncomplexed
quinone triplet. In contrast, the energy transfer from the triplet excited state to oxygen is enhanced by complex
formation with scandium triflate
