Alanine (13)CH(3) methyl groups can serve as a useful addition to the Ile, Leu, Val (ILV) selective isotope labeling methodology adopted for NMR studies of high-molecular-weight protein systems. A four-dimensional (4D) methyl-detected "out-and-back" NMR experiment has been developed that allowed us to obtain practical…

We present a full configuration interaction study of Be(N) (N=2,3,4,5) linear chains. A comparative study of the basis-set effect on the reproduction of the energy profile has been reported. In particular, the 3s1p, 4s2p, 4s2p1d, 5s3p2d, and 5s3p2d1f bases were selected. For the smallest chains (i.e., Be(2) and Be(3))…

We used density functional theory calculations to probe the chemical reactivity of graphene and single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) toward the small molecules O(2), H(2), N(2), C(2)H(2), CO, and CO(2). We found that there is a threshold CNT size below which C(2)H(2) and CO, typical feedstock precursors for CNT growth,…

Abstract We report on a new strategy for fabricating well‐defined POSS‐based polymeric materials with and without solvent by frontal polymerization (FP) at ambient pressure. First, we functionalize polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). With these functionalized POSS‐containin…

A one-step method combining spray pyrolysis and thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes was developed to grow hybrid carbon nanotube (CNT)-bimetallic composite particles. Nickel, aluminum, and acetylene were used as the catalytic site, noncatalytic matrix, and hydrocarbon source, respectively. The bimetallic…

Low-lying isomers of homoleptic gold thiolate clusters (AuSR)(N) (N = 6-12) are studied by using a global-minimum search method. Besides previously known zigzag crown structures for (AuSR)(N) (N = 6-12) and catenane structures for (AuSR)(N) (N = 10, 12), onset of a new structural family of double helical structures in…

Gold deposition on Hombikat UV100 was found to negatively affect the activity of this Anatase catalyst in selective photo-oxidation of cyclohexane. By ammonia TPD and DRIFT spectroscopy it was determined that the Au deposition procedure leads to a significant decrease in OH-group density (mol m−2 BET) on Hombikat, sug…

The use of photolabile protecting groups (PGs) as a means to create latent hydrophilic surfaces is presented. Naturally hydrophobic PGs, based on o-nitrobenzyl chemistry, are used on polymer side chains, poised for cleavage upon exposure to UV light. Removal of the PGs liberates the hydrophilic polymer, thereby switch…
