2,6-Diformyl-4-methylphenol and 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane template condense in the presence of Cu(NO(3))(2) and azide to produce a 3 : 3 macrocyclic ring containing an unprecedented grouping of seven copper(ii) ions within the macrocyclic cavity, with the seventh metal completing a body-centred heptanuclear lattice.
Abstract A systematic substitution of Ge, Si, C and Co for Ga in the non‐stoichiometric Ni–Mn–Ga alloys was performed. The relationship between the compositions of different elements including Ni, Mn, Ga, Ge, Si, C, Co, In and martensitic transformation temperature ( M s ) was studied in detail for the present alloys…
X-ray single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) data from a crystal of proteinase K were collected using synchrotron radiation of 0.98 A wavelength at SER-CAT 22-ID beamline, Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. At this wavelength, the expected Bijvoet ratio resulting from the presence of one calci…
PhaR from Paracoccus denitrificans functions as a repressor or autoregulator of the expression of genes encoding phasin protein (PhaP) and PhaR itself, both of which are components of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granules (A. Maehara, S. Taguchi, T. Nishiyama, T. Yamane, and Y. Doi, J. Bacteriol. 184:3992-4002, 2002). P…
Nanotechnology is finding its use as a potential technology in consumer products, defense, electronics, and medical applications by exploiting the properties of nanomaterials. Single-walled carbon nanotubes are novel forms of these nanomaterials with potential for large applications. However, the toxicity studies on t…
The adsorption and dissociation of three carbonyl compounds, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone, on the magnesium oxide nanosurface, consisting of four stacked (MgO)3 hexagons, is investigated by first principles density functional theory (DFT). In the case of formaldehyde, strongly chemisorbed species, with carb…
In Gram-positive bacteria and other prokaryotes containing succinate:menaquinone reductases, it has previously been shown that the succinate oxidase and succinate:menaquinone reductase activities are lost when the transmembrane electrochemical proton potential, Deltap, is abolished by the rupture of the bacteria or by…
A series of p-nitro-p'-alkoxy(OR)-substituted (E,E,E)-1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrienes (1a, R = Me; 1b, R = Et; 1c, R = n-Pr; 1d, R = n-Bu) were prepared. The absorption and fluorescence spectra in solution were almost independent of the alkoxy chain length. The absorption maximum showed only a small dependence on the s…
A designer self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold has been systematically studied with 10 commonly used scaffolds in a several week study using neural stem cells (NSC), a potential therapeutic source for cellular transplantations in nervous system injuries. These cells not only provide a good in vitro model for th…
meso-Pentafluorophenyl- substituted [40]nonaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1) 3 has been prepared by using a stepwise ring-size-selective synthesis, and has been reduced with NaBH(4) to [42]nonaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1) 5. Structurally, 3 is characterized by a figure-of-eight shape, consisting of a porphyrin-like tetrapyrroli…
This review focuses on high-pressure diamond synthesis processes, some of which have been used in commercial-scale production of diamond powder and large single crystals for more than forty years now, and on the role and types of vapor-phase activation in rapidly developing technologies of diamond films and wafers—exc…
This paper describes a new class of composite materials designed by combining multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and grafted collagen matrix. These materials show high mechanical capabilities by taking advantage of the favorable mechanical characteristics of MWCNTs. Furthermore, doping carbon nanotubes into grafted…
We study the morphologies of single liquid droplets wetting a substrate in the presence of the line tension of the three-phase contact line. On a homogeneous substrate, the line tension leads to a discontinuous unbinding of the droplet if its volume is decreased below a critical value. For a droplet wetting a structur…
Silicon carbide nanotubes (SiCNTs) were directly synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in the paper. Methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) was selected as the SiC gaseous source and, ferrocence and thiophene as the catalyst and the cocatalyst, respectively. The influences of reaction temperature, contents of catalyst a…
The tremendous diversity in the structure and function of proteins has stimulated intense interest in using them for nanotechnology applications. In this review, we discuss recent developments in the engineering of proteins and peptides for the design and construction of functional and structural elements of nanodevic…
A write-read-erasable memory device was fabricated on layer-by-layer (LbL) ultrathin films prepared from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). By use of current-sensing atomic force microscopy (CS-AFM), nanopatterns were formed by applyi…
In this paper, ZnO nanorods with high yields were successfully synthesized using a radio frequency (RF) thermal plasma system in a one-step, continuous, and scalable way by the thermal evaporation of different zinc compounds, and the aspect ratio of synthesized nanorods could be well controlled by adjusting the feedin…
Surface-tethered oppositely charged weak polyelectrolyte block copolymer brushes composed of poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VP) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were grown from the Si wafer by atom-transfer radical polymerization. The P2VP-b-PAA brushes were prepared through hydrolysis of the second PtBA block to the correspon…
Polyaniline colloids were prepared by enzymatic polymerization using chitosan and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) as steric stabilizers. The resulting nanoparticles undergo flocculation by changing the pH or temperature of the aqueous dispersions. The environmentally responsive behavior of these colloids contrasts with th…
We present a new and simple method to produce superhydrophobic surfaces with ultralow hysteresis. The method involves surface modification of SU-8 using an excimer laser treatment. The modified surface is coated with a hydrophobic plasma-polymerized hexafluoropropene layer. The advancing and receding water contact ang…
