Benzoic acid solubility has been measured in pure water and in the binary mixtures containing different solvents including water, N, N -dimethylformamide (DMF), ethanol, or 1,4-dioxane. The experiments were carried out employing the cell used in Oliveira's dissertation. The temperature dependence of the solubility of…
A new series of relatively flexible cofacial donor-acceptor dyads for singlet-singlet energy transfer with the corrole or etio-porphyrin free base and zinc porphyrin as the acceptor and donor, respectively, were synthesized and characterized (represented as (PMes2COx)ZnH3 (13), (PMes2CO)ZnH3 (14), and (PMes2CX)ZnH3 (1…
Numerous approaches have been reported for the synthesis of CdSe nanocrystals, but there is no effective facile method for the synthesis of high-quality large, red-emitting CdSe nanocrystals. Herein we report a convenient and reproducible approach for the preparation of high-quality (high luminescent quantum yield, ne…
To seek novel metal-free organic catalysts for epoxidation with high stereoselectivity, a series of 4-substituted-alpha,alpha-diaryl-prolinols were synthesized in four steps from trans-4-hydroxyl-L-proline. These prolinol derivatives catalyzed the asymmetric epoxidation of alpha,beta-enones to give the corresponding c…
Pt is the most common catalyst for NO oxidation to NO 2, a key reaction in NO x remediation chemistry. In this work, density functional theory calculations and plane-wave supercell models are used to calculate the energies, charge distributions, and vibrational spectra of the stable and metastable states of adsorbed N…
We present a continuous time random walk model for the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect. From our result it is shown that the dynamics of the PLC band can be explained in terms of the Levy Walk.
Nanocrystalline nanowires (NCNW) are fragments of bulk crystals that are infinite in only one direction. A construction is given for calculating eigenstates belonging to the symmetry labels (k,m) (wavevector and rotational quantum number). Vibrational harmonic eigenstates are worked out explicitly for a simple model,…
Stepwise addition/elimination and concerted mechanisms for the methanolysis of ε-caprolactone, as a model for the initiation and propagation of ring-opening polymerization (ROP), have been investigated computationally using the B3LYP/6-31G* density functional method, with assistance from one or two ancillary methanol…
This paper describes the preparation of two tetracations 4a(4+) and 4b(4+) composed of di(1-azulenyl)methylium units based on a new structural principle of a cyanine-cyanine hybrid for the design of electrochromic materials with two color changes. Di- and monocations 5a(2+), 5b(2+) and 6a+, 6b+ composed of di(1-azulen…
Density functional theory calculations carried out on the anionic Ni(II) chain complexes {trinickeltetrakis[2,6-bis(amido)pyridine]}2- and {trinickeltetrakis[N,N'-bis(sulfonyl)pyridyldiamido]}2- show that the electron-attractor character of the sulfonyl substituent modifies the basicity of the amido ligand ends so as…
This paper describes the growth of gold and silver nanomaterials from their corresponding colloidal seeds on glass substrates. The glass substrates were treated with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and then with gold or silver nanoparticle seeds (AuNPSs or AgNPSs) at different concentrations. After separately…
A series of novel heterocyclic combinatorial libraries containing 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole, thieno[2',3':4,5]-pyrrol[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazine and thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine heterocyclic moieties were obtained by parallel solution-phase synthesis. Key steps include different reactions of initial alkyl 4H-thien…
The surface energies of α-rhombohedral, β-rhombohedral, and α-tetragonal boron were calculated from first principles, for the first time, to investigate their role in nanoscale crystal growth. The results support the existence of the pure α-tetragonal polymorph of boron. Although the existence of this polymorph had lo…
Porphyrins are stable molecules with a macrocyclic conjugated system and often peripheral substituents. This unique structure makes the electronic properties of the four meso-carbons (the methine bridges) nearly identical. Replacement of the weakly electron-polarizing 2,4-vinyl groups of protoporphyrin IX with strongl…
Pseudomonas putida CA-3 accumulates polyphosphate (polyP) and medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mclPHA) concurrently under nitrogen limitation. Five other mclPHA-accumulating Pseudomonas strains are capable of simultaneous polyP and mclPHA biosynthesis. It appears that polyP is not the rate-limiting step for m…
DNA liquid crystalline gel (LCG) has been newly prepared by a dialysis of concentrated DNA solutions into concentrated metal cation solutions. The condition for forming DNA LCG is examined by means of the insolubilization reaction. The shrinking ratio and the ratio of the thickness of LCG layer, delta, and the diamete…
Bioconjugates of the hemoproteins, myoglobin, and hemoglobin have been synthesized by their adsorption on spherical gold and silver nanoparticles and gold nanorods. The adsorption of hemoproteins on the nanoparticle surface was confirmed by their molecular ion signatures in matrix assisted laser desorption ionization…
Comparative studies on the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of luminol on various electrodes modified with gold nanoparticles of different size were carried out in neutral solution by conventional cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results demonstrated that the gold nanoparticle modified electrodes could ge…
The crystal structures, atomic distributions, and theoretical electronic structures of five different Cu5-xZn8+x gamma-brass compounds (x = -0.59(3), -0.31(3), 0.00(3), 0.44(3), and 0.79(3)) are reported with the goal of identifying chemical influences on the observed phase width. These structures have been refined by…
We present semipermeable, hollow capsules (colloidosomes) that expand and contract upon heating and cooling. The capsules are composed of micrometer-sized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid microgel particles, which exhibit a reversible size transition near 34 degrees C. The microgel particles assemble on the…
