A manganese(IV)-oxo porphyrin catalyzes C-C bond formation between zinc porphyrins at the meso-position with a two-electron oxidant to afford the meso-meso linked porphyrin dimer efficiently. The meso-meso linked dimer is formed via formation of the porphyrin radical cation, and the rate-determining step in the cataly…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attracting significant attention as a novel material for future innovations. Many in vitro studies have assessed the cytotoxicity of CNTs, but the effects of CNTs differ depending on the cell lines and the synthetic method adopted for fabricating CNTs. In the present study, the differential…

Recently, we found pure green photoluminescence (PL) at 540 nm (2.34 eV) in a vacuum, which is characteristic of a Si–Si bonded network polymer bearing n-butyl groups (organopolysilyne, SNP). SNP was carefully isolated as an orange-yellow solid by avoidance of contact with air and water in the polymer synthesis and PL…

Distribution maps of carbon deposited on nickel particles were obtained by micro-Raman spectroscopy. Nickel film was prepared on the oxide substrates of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and gadolinia doped ceria (GDC). Carbon deposition was induced by annealing in dry methane for 10 min at both 863 and 933 K. Morpholo…

We considered light scattering by a polydisperse ensemble of droplets of a nematic liquid crystal. To model light scattering by a monolayer of polymer-dispersed spherical droplets of a nematic liquid crystal with cylindrical symmetry of its internal structure, we proposed a semianalytical modeling method. The method i…
