Axial ligation of nickel(II) 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP) with pyrrolidine or piperidine has been investigated using X-ray crystallography, UV-visible spectroscopy, resonance Raman spectroscopy, and molecular mechanics (MM) calculations. By varying the pyrrolidine concentration in dichloromethane, distinct…
Recently, discrete sets of numbers, the -integers , have been proposed as numbering tools in quasicrystalline studies. Indeed, there exists a unique numeration system based on the irrational in which the -integers are all real numbers with no fractional part. These -integers appear to be quite appropriate for describi…
Measurements and theoretical calculations are reported for an interatomic multi-atom resonant photoemission (MARPE) effect that permits direct determination of near-neighbor atomic identities (atomic numbers). MARPE occurs when the photon energy is tuned to a core-level absorption edge of an atom neighboring the emitt…
Two distinctly different membrane proteins, which produced inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli, have been refolded to reconstitute properties appropriate to their native counterparts. The method employed utilises nickel chelating chromatography, where the solubilised inclusion bodies bind, refold and elute. Our aims…
A new family of oligopeptide-based bolaamphiphiles, glycylglycine- ( 1a − h ), glycylglycylglycine- ( 2a − b ), sarcosylsarcosine- ( 3 ), l -prolyl- l -proline- ( 4 ), glycylsarcosylsarcosine- ( 5 ), and glycyl- l -prolyl- l -proline ( 6 )-based bolaamphiphiles with a dicarboxylic headgroup at each end, has been synth…
The package fhi98PP allows one to generate norm-conserving pseudopotentials adapted to density-functional theory total-energy calculations for a multitude of elements throughout the periodic table, including first-row and transition metal elements. The package also facilitates a first assessment of the pseudopotential…
First-principles electronic-structure methods are used to study a structural model for Ag/Si(111)3x1 recently proposed on the basis of transmission electron diffraction data. The fully relaxed geometry for this model is far more energetically favorable than any previously proposed, partly due to the unusual formation…
The reductive condensation of a carbon-supported molecular cluster precursor, PtRu 5 C(CO) 16, into a bimetallic nanoparticle has been followed by using in situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The data reveal that…
The precipitation polymerization of commercial divinylbenzene in acetonitrile containing up to 40 vol. % toluene or other cosolvents is shown to produce novel porous monodisperse poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres. These microspheres have diameters between 4 and 7 μm, total pore volumes of up to 0.52 cm3/g, and surface…
The thermodynamic properties of novolac type phenolic resin blended with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were investigated by the Painter–Coleman association model (PCAM). Equilibrium constants and enthalpy corresponding to the interaction between phenolic and poly(ethylene oxide) were calculated from the Fourier transform…
We have studied the nonisothermal and isothermal crystallization kinetics of an aromatic thermotropic liquid crystalline polyimide synthesized from 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PMDA) and 1,3-bis[4-(4′-aminophenoxy) cumyl] benzene (BACB) by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Polarized ligh…
Sorption, dilation, and diffusion behaviors were studied for the system of polysulfone/CO2 with regard to the effects of CO2 conditioning, i.e., exposure to high-pressure CO2. Concurrent measurements of solubility, dilation, and diffusivity were performed for polysulfone films before and after the conditioning at 25 a…
An ultrasonic shear wave reflection method was applied to study film formation and temperature dependence of the complex shear modulus (G*G′ + iG″) in different amorphous films made of aqueous dispersions of acrylic-type copolymers. The data are compared with dynamic-mechanical measurements in the low frequency range…
The effect of aggregation of Mg 2+ or Ba 2+ (M 2+ ) and electrochemically generated reduced forms of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) in acetonitrile solution was studied by voltammetric and chronoamperometric techniques, the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), ESR spectroscopy, and atomic force…
Asymmetric donor–acceptor-substituted π-conjugated systems with low dipole moments and structural components that favor parallel alignment of neighboring molecules are potential molecular organic materials with nonlinear optical properties for which near prefect dipole parallel alignment is possible. The asymmetrical…
Films of a blend of styrene–isoprene triblock copolymer and mineral oil have been simple-cast and roll-cast from a toluene solution. Their microstructure has been analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. The blend formed polystyrene spheres arranged on a body-centered cubic lattic…
The melting behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate) crystallized isothermally for various times was examined using differential scanning calorimetry. After short crystallization times, the DSC analysis gave two melting peaks, but after longer times, the analysis gave three peaks. The latter triplet of DSC peaks can b…
Linearly polarized (LP) UV photoreaction of a photo-crosslinkable side-chain liquid-crystalline polymer (SLCP) containing photoreactive cinnamoyl and biphenyl mesogenic groups (1) was studied. The optical anisotropy of the polymer film was induced by the LP-UV photoreaction and was investigated by the temperature-cont…
Functionalized cyclopentadithiophenes 2 and 3 were synthesized and polymerized by anodic coupling, in acetonitrile solution, in the presence of 0.1 M tetraethylammonium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte. The former carries a 16-crown-5-ether ring coplanar to the bithiophene moiety, while a perpendicular 15-crown-5…
Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride)/silica hybrid material has been successfully prepared from styrene–maleic anhydride copolymer and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of a coupling agent (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) by an in situ sol–gel process. It was observed that the gel time of sol–gel solution wa…
