A new family of 5-styrylcoumarins exhibit E–Z isomerization around the Cα[DOUBLE BOND]Cβ bond with large extinction coefficients, medium-lived excited states, and moderate fluorescence quantum yields (see picture). The alteration of these photophysical properties is also corroborated by computational studies.
The development of efficient solar energy harvesting systems is one of the greatest scientific challenges today. Recently attention has been driven to alternative solar collecting devices based on an optical absorbing chromophore anchored to the semiconductor surface. Our previous work on coumarins demonstrated that this molecules can be easily tune to incorporate substituents that allow to increase the conjuga...
Mural paintings are continuously exposed to physical, chemical and biological degradation, however, among the biological agents that cause deterioration, microorganisms are of critical importance, due to their metabolic versatility and flexibility, and their ability to tolerate unfavourable conditions. Thereby, microorganisms can cause damages in mural paintings surfaces through a variety of mechanisms, includi...
Coumarins comprise a very large class of substances found in plants and are made of fused benzene and α-pyrone rings. More than 1300 coumarins have been identified, principally as secondary metabolites in green plants but also in fungi and bacteria. Coumarin and its derivatives are considered nowadays an important class of organic compounds due to their wide spectrum of biological activities and therapeutic app...
Coumarins, classified as benzo-α-pyrones, are part of a large class of secondary phenolic metabolites derivatived from cinnamic acid, widely distributed in the plant kingdom but can also be found in fungi and bacteria. Today there are more than 1300 identified structures. In some plants they are mainly accumulated in the leaves, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic fungi and repelles insects. Coumarins are nowad...
Este trabalho teve por objetivo a obtenção de um dossier que pode servir de base a qualquer época que queira começar futuramente. Para tal, realizei um estágio, ao longo da época 2011/2012, na secção de Voleibol do Vitória Sport Clube, mais concretamente, integrando a equipa Sénior feminina, como treinador adjunto da mesma. Os principais objetivos para este estágio foram adquirir mais conhecimentos da modalidad...
A robótica é a área da ciência que estuda o design, construção e uso de máquinas para executar tarefas tradicionalmente feitas por seres humanos. O futebol não é apenas o desporto rei da humanidade mas também o desporto mais usado para o desenvolvimento de robôs com capacidades desportivas. A iniciativa RoboCup promove competições robóticas a nível mundial, sendo o futebol robótico uma das mais importantes, con...
