Project "From multivalency in molecules to nanomaterials organization: chemical modification strategies in fullerenes and carbon dots for biological and (bio)sensing applications" (ORCHESTRACA) Research Data Collection

Abstract

This open access database compiles the research data from the ORCHESTRACA project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (Title “From multivalency in molecules to nanomaterials organization: chemical modification strategies in fullerenes and carbon dots for biological and (bio)sensing applications”, Reference PID2020-115120GB-I00, from 01/09/2021 to 28/02/2025). The collected datasets are organized according to the main research outcomes achieved and include, among others, experimental and computational protocol data, equipment data, structural characterization data (e.g., ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, FTIR data, HRMS data, Raman, DLS, and XPS of relevant compounds), microscopic characterization (TEM, AFM), UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopic data (e.g., steady-state absorption and emission spectra, time-delayed emission spectra, nanosecond and microsecond transient absorption spectra, and circular dichroism (CD) spectra, of relevant compounds in different media, concentrations and irradiation conditions), photophysical data (e.g., UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence, and laser emission wavelengths, molar absorption coefficients, fluorescence and singlet oxygen quantum yields, fluorescence lifetimes, radiative and non-radiative deactivation rate constants of relevant compounds in different media, concentrations and irradiation conditions, along with detailed information on the spectroscopic techniques used), quantum mechanical calculation data (e.g., computed molecular geometries and energies in the ground and excited states, electronic density maps of frontier orbitals, charge distribution maps, along with detailed information on the software and computational clusters used), and biological and biophotophysical data (e.g., cell uptake data, cell viability data under dark and non-dark conditions, confocal fluorescence microscopy, transinfection experiments, SPR binding studies, quartz crystal microbalance determination of association constants, and bioimaging behavior).
