Rate Constants for Quenching Metal Complexes

Reactant:
Excited State only - Quencher only - Both


Instructions

Enter a name for the excited state or quencher then click the submit button. This search is only for the compilation of "Rate Constants for the Quenching of Excited States of Metal Complexes in Fluid Solution", not for general solution kinetics.

Wild card characters (*, % and _) are allowed in the name. Most, but not all, of the data can be found from the metal's chemical symbol followed by asterisk, such as Zn*. Names of reactants that match the request, as excited state and quencher pairs, will be listed on a page with a link to the page containing the data. The number or results shown is limited to the first 600 matches which may be used as a guide for a more specific search, this applies to Ru*.

Particular substances may be identified by any name that is in our database. Each is represented by at least one name, often more than one name. There is usually at least one systematic name which may also be inverted to bring one or more functional groups to the beginning of the name. Common names and often used abbreviations are also often included. Each name matching the request will be returned thus one reaction may be returned more than once.

Molecular formula have also been added as synonyms and may be searched without subscript or superscript indicators. These are entered carbon first followed by hydrogen followed by other elements in alphabetic order. Charge, + or -, is last if present followed by its numeric value if not 1. Examples: O2 (Oxygen), C6FeN6-4 (Ferrocyanide ion), C6H4ClNO2 (1-Chloro-4-nitrobenzene, 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene, etc.)

Capitalization is important as are numbers, italicized and other special parts. The names are entered into the database using the encoding scheme that has been used by the Radiation Chemistry Data Center for some years. Examples of names used are:

$a represents the Greek letter alpha, \8N represents an italic N (N). Wild card characters are useful to represent encoded parts.


. [technical note: * will be converted to % as the character representing any number of any characters in an SQL search, _ represents a single occurrence of any character. The actual search will be executed by an Oracle DBMS. If one of the three wild card characters is present, the search requirement will use the term LIKE otherwise the operator will be = which requires an exact match.] The search should be faster if the first few characters are not wild card characters, however several characters as a fragment of a name starting and ending with * or % may be used. e.g. Methanol, Benzo*, %quinone% or _-Methylindole
