Probing intersystem crossing in multi-brominated eumelanin through transient absorption and surface hopping dynamics
Ultrafast intersystem crossing (ISC) followed by internal conversion in multi-brominated eumelanin monomers. The rate of ISC ( k ISC ) in the tri-brominated monomer is higher than that in the di-brominated monomer due to an enhanced heavy atom effect.
