To achieve a fast photochromic response in solid matrix, photochromic molecules/segments have been either dispersed into elastomers via physical doping or linked to glassy polymers by soft units through covalent bonding. However, the former is lack of high mechanical strength and the latter owes the drawback of time-c…

We systematically study the fluorination of nanometer-sized diamond cages, diamondoids, by time-dependent density functional theory. We find that fluorination affects both the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals. Partial fluorination may decrease the energy of the excited state, and the lowest un…

ABSTRACT Innovative epoxy‐titania nanocomposites were prepared starting from titania nanoparticles suspended in benzyl alcohol (BzOH) generated by nonhydrolytic sol–gel process from TiCl 4 . The obtained suspensions were mixed with an epoxy resin (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, DGEBA) and the formulations were cured in…

Protein and peptide aggregation is an important issue both in vivo and in vitro. Herein, we examine the aggregation behaviors of two well-studied β-hairpins, Trpzip1 and Trpzip2. Previous studies suggested that Trpzip2 remains monomeric up to a concentration of ~15 mM whereas Trpzip1 readily aggregates at micromolar c…

A complete homologous series of polyphenylene dendrimers up to the ninth generation (G9) corresponding to a theoretical molecular weight of 1.9 MDa was characterized by MALDI–TOF mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry of synthetic polymers at extreme high masses is still uncommon to date and the underlying probable reas…

First-principles calculations are performed to characterize the NO adsorption on large carbonaceous clusters modeling the surface of soot. Adsorption on the face and on the edges of perfect and defective clusters is considered in the calculations. It is shown that the first situation corresponds to physisorption and r…

The use of CuTC (Liebeskind’s catalyst), followed by methylenation and ring-closing metathesis, or bis-hydrazone coupling reactions is described. This approach establishes an alternative non-photochemical synthesis of the strategically important 1,2- b :4,3- b ′ BDT regioisomer, which has previously been underused in…
