A facile approach to engineering diverse mixed-colloid ensembles is presented here. Various colloid architectures are seen that are controlled by both electrostatic self-assembly and concentration changes (see Figure) regardless of the nature of the nanoparticle core. The methodology should be applicable to the creati…

Abstract Thermal conductivities of undoped and various protonic acid-doped polyaniline films were measured by combination of a laser flash method and a scanning differential calorimeter. The thermal conductivities thus measured are in the range of conventional organic polymers, indicating that the doped polyaniline fi…

The structures and relative energies for the basic conformations of silacyclohexane 1 have been calculated using HF, RI-MP2, RI-DFT and MM3 methods. All methods predict the chair form to be the dominant conformation and all of them predict structures which are in good agreement with experimental data. The conformation…

The free R factor is used routinely as a cross-validation tool in macromolecular crystallography. However, without any means of deriving quantitative estimates of its expected value and variance, its application has been rather subjective and its usefulness therefore somewhat limited. In the first part of this series,…
