Abstract
Two-photon excitation (TPE) proceeds via a "virtual" pathway, which depends on the accessibility of one or more intermediate states, and, in the case of non-centrosymmetric molecules, an additional "dipole" pathway involving the off-resonance dipole-allowed one-photon transitions and the change in the permanent dipole moment between the initial and final states. Here, we control the quantum interference between these two optical excitation pathways by using phase-shaped femtosecond laser pulses. We find enhancements by a factor of up to 1.75 in the two-photon-excited fluorescence of the photobase FR0-SB in methanol after taking into account the longer pulse duration of the shaped laser pulses. Simulations taking into account the different responses of the virtual and dipole pathways to external fields and the effect of pulse shaping on two-photon transitions are found to be in good agreement with our experimental measurements. The observed quantum control of TPE in the condensed phase may lead to an enhanced signal at a lower intensity in two-photon microscopy, multiphoton-excited photoreagents, and novel spectroscopic techniques that are sensitive to the magnitude of the contributions from the virtual and dipole pathways to multiphoton excitations.

Abstract
Two-photon excitation (TPE) is an attractive means for controlling chemistry in both space and time. Since isoenergetic one- and two-photon excitations (OPE and TPE) in non-centrosymmetric molecules are allowed to reach the same excited state, it is usually assumed that they produce similar excited-state reactivity. We compare the solvent-to-solute excited-state proton transfer of the super photobase FR0-SB following isoenergetic OPE and TPE. We find up to 62% increased reactivity following TPE compared to OPE. From steady-state spectroscopy, we rule out the involvement of different excited states and find that OPE and TPE spectra are identical in non-polar solvents but not in polar ones. We propose that differences in the matrix elements that contribute to the two-photon absorption cross sections lead to the observed enhanced isoenergetic reactivity, consistent with the predictions of our high-level coupled-cluster-based computational protocol. We find that polar solvent configurations favor greater dipole moment change between ground and excited states, which enters the probability for TPE as the absolute value squared. This, in turn, causes a difference in the Franck-Condon region reached via TPE compared to OPE. We conclude that a new method has been found for controlling chemical reactivity via the matrix elements that affect two-photon cross sections, which may be of great utility for spatial and temporal precision chemistry.

Abstract
4-Dimethylamino-4'-nitrostilbene (DANS), a π-conjugated push-pull molecule, has been investigated by means of a combined spectroscopic and computational approach. When the Raman excitation is close to the visible electronic transition of DANS, vibrational bands not belonging to DANS appear in the spectra, increasing with the laser power. These bands are observed at room temperature in the solid phase, but not at low temperature or in solution, and we interpret them as due to a thermally-activated photoreaction occurring under laser irradiation in the visible spectral region. Density-functional calculations correctly reproducing the electronic and vibrational spectra of DANS, describe the charge-transfer process, indicate that an azo-derivative is the product of the photoreaction of DANS and provide a reasonable interpretation of this process.

Abstract
The two-photon absorption (TPA) process is the simplest and hence the most studied nonlinear optical phenomenon, and various aspects of this process have been explored in the past few decades, experimentally as well as theoretically. Previous investigations have shown that the two-photon (TP) activity of a molecular system can be tuned, and at present, performance-tailored TP active materials are easy to develop by monitoring factors such as length of conjugation, dimensionality of charge-transfer network, strength of donor-acceptor groups, polarity of solvents, self-aggregation, H-bonding, and micellar encapsulation to mention but a few. One of the most intriguing phenomena affecting the TP activity of a molecule is channel interference. The phrase "channel interference" implies that if the TP transition from one electronic state to another involves more than one optical pathway or channel, characterized by the corresponding transition dipole moment (TDM) vectors, the channels may interfere with each other depending upon the angles between the TDM vectors and hence can either increase (constructive interference) or decrease (destructive interference) the overall TP activity of a system to a significant extent. This phenomenon was first pointed out by Cronstrand, Luo, and Ågren [Chem. Phys. Lett. 2002, 352, 262-269] in two-dimensional systems (i.e., only involving two components of the transition moment vectors). For three-dimensional molecules, an extended version of this idea was required. In order to fill this gap, we developed a generalized model for describing and exploring channel interference, valid for systems of any dimensionality. We have in particular applied it to through-bond (TB) and through-space (TS) charge-transfer systems both in gas phase and in solvents with different polarities. In this Account, we will, in addition to briefly describing the concept of channel interference, discuss two key findings of our recent work: (1) how to control the channel interference by chemical means, and (2) the role of channel interference in the anomalous solvent dependence of certain TP chromophores. For example, we will show that simple structurally induced changes in certain dihedral angles of the well-known betaine dye (TB type) will help fine-tune the constructive channel interference and hence increase the overall TP activity of molecules with this general TP channel structure. Another intriguing result we will discuss is observed for a tweezer-trinitrofluorinone complex (TS type) where, on moving from polar to essentially nonpolar solvents, the nature of the channel interference switches from destructive to constructive, leading to a net abnormal solvent dependence of the TP activity of the system. The present Account highlights the usefulness of the channel interference effect and establishes it as a new and unique way of controlling the TP transition probability in different types of three-dimensional molecules.

Abstract
Delineating candidate genes at the chromosomal breakpoint regions in the apparently balanced chromosome rearrangements (ABCR) has been shown to be more effective with the emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. We employed a large-insert (7-11 kb) paired-end tag sequencing technology (DNA-PET) to systematically analyze genome of four patients harbouring cytogenetically defined ABCR with neurodevelopmental symptoms, including developmental delay (DD) and speech disorders. We characterized structural variants (SVs) specific to each individual, including those matching the chromosomal breakpoints. Refinement of these regions by Sanger sequencing resulted in the identification of five disrupted genes in three individuals: guanine nucleotide binding protein, q polypeptide (GNAQ), RNA-binding protein, fox-1 homolog (RBFOX3), unc-5 homolog D (C.elegans) (UNC5D), transmembrane protein 47 (TMEM47), and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP). Among them, XIAP is the causative gene for the immunodeficiency phenotype seen in the patient. The remaining genes displayed specific expression in the fetal brain and have known biologically relevant functions in brain development, suggesting putative candidate genes for neurodevelopmental phenotypes. This study demonstrates the application of NGS technologies in mapping individual gene disruptions in ABCR as a resource for deciphering candidate genes in human neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).
