The structures of the four isomers of SiW 11 O 39 8− were optimized by DFT methods, by taking into account their expected symmetry properties. The structures were compared to those of related compounds (SiW 12 O 40 4− and its monosubstituted derivatives). The stability order corresponds well to that observed experimen…

By means of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the structure and stability of alkyl-modified polyamido-amide (PAMAM) dendrimers at the air/water interface as a function of the number and the relative position of the modified end groups. We find that the PAMAM dendrimer with all terminal groups fu…
