Because of the recent observation of the toxic side effects of Gd(III) based MRI contrast agents in patients with impaired renal function, there is strong interest on developing alternative contrast agents for MRI. In this study, macrocyclic Mn(II) chelates were conjugated to nanoglobular carriers, lysine dendrimers w…
The conproportionation reaction between the dimeric diimidouranium(V) species [U(N(t)Bu)(2)(I)((t)Bu(2)bpy)](2) ((t)Bu(2)bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridyl) and UI(3)(THF)(4) in the presence of additional (t)Bu(2)bpy yields U(N(t)Bu)(I)(2)((t)Bu(2)bpy)(THF)(2) (2), an unprecedented example of a monoimidouranium(I…
BACKGROUND: Chemistry and particularly enzymology at surfaces is a topic of rapidly growing interest, both in terms of its role in biological systems and its application in biocatalysis. Existing protein immobilization approaches, including noncovalent or covalent attachments to solid supports, have difficulties in co…
Novel liquid crystalline (LC) semiconductors were prepared from the copper complex of a fused porphyrin dimer as the electroactive core by attaching to its periphery dodecyl and semifluoroalkyl side chains site-specifically (P≡P(hetero)) and semifluoroalkyl side chains alone (P≡P(homo)). The former and latter formed r…
Here we report a facile way of stabilizing large gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by mixed charged zwitterionic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The citrate-capped AuNPs with diameters ranging from 16 nm to even ∼100 nm are well stabilized via a simple place exchange reaction with a 1:1 molar ratio mixture of negatively ch…
We demonstrate compositionally tunable photoluminescence in complex transparent conducting oxide nanocrystals. Alloyed gallium indium oxide (GIO) nanocrystals with variable crystal structures are prepared by a colloidal method throughout the full composition range and studied by different structural and spectroscopic…
Depending on their nature, different chemical bonds show vastly different stability with covalent bonds being the most stable ones that rupture at forces above nanonewton. Studies have revealed that ferric-thiolate bonds are highly covalent and are conceived to be of high mechanical stability. Here, we used single mol…
The present article consists a critical up-to-date review of the research conducted so far on the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with hydrogen under lean-burn conditions as an alternative technology to the existing NH3- and HC-SCR. Noble Metal based catalysts are described in detail with emphasis on the analysis…
We report on the magnetic coupling of ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ layers through ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ spacers in ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}/{\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ epitaxial heterostructures. Combined aberration-corrected microscopy and electron-energy-loss…
We describe a method to enhance the sensitivity of precision measurements that takes advantage of the environment of a quantum sensor to amplify the response of the sensor to weak external perturbations. An individual qubit is used to sense the dynamics of surrounding ancillary qubits, which are in turn affected by th…
Among the diverse fields of application of technical textiles, which are poised for tremendous growth in fast-developing economies such as India and China, non-implantable healthcare and hygiene products are assuming significant importance because of the specificity of their end uses. Today, the healthcare industry is…

Abstract Naturally occurring oleic and undecylenic acids were used as raw materials for the synthesis of novel polyurethanes (PUs). The application of environmentally friendly thiol‐ene additions to 10‐undecenoate and oleate derivatives was studied with the goal of obtaining renewable diols. The resulting monomers wer…
We present two applications of a single nitrogen vacancy center in a nanodiamond as quantum probe for plasmonic nanostructures. Coupling to the nanostructures is achieved in a highly controlled manner by picking up a pre-characterized nanocrystal with an atomic force microscope and placing it at the desired position.…
We present a theoretical description of how continuous monomer production affects the focusing of nanocrystal size distributions in solution. We show that sufficiently high monomer production rates can drive a decrease in the polydispersity even as the average nanocrystal size increases. This is in sharp contrast to O…
X-ray absorption and its dependence on the polarization of light is a powerful tool to investigate the orbital and spin moments of magnetic materials and their orientation relative to crystalline axes. Here, we present a program for the calculation of dichroic spectra from first principles. We have implemented the cal…
[Cu(II)(3)Tb(III)(L(Pr))(NO(3))(2)(MeOH)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))·3H(2)O is a rare example of a 3d-4f single-molecule magnet prepared using a macrocyclic ligand: at low T, it exhibits frequency-dependent alternating-current susceptibility, indicative of slow relaxation of the magnetization.
A series of four novel 8-hydroxyquinoline-substituted boron-dipyrromethene derivatives, namely 4,4-difluoro-8-(5-(8-hydroxyquinoline))-3,5-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (1), 4,4-difluoro-8-(5-(8-hydroxyquinoline))-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (2), 4,4-difluoro-8-(5-azastyryl-(8-hydroxyqui…
A simple method to fabricate high quality carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) by exfoliation of natural flake graphite with the assistance of microwave sparks in liquid nitrogen is demonstrated. Field-effect transistors based on the CNSs show stable ambipolar behavior in both air and nitrogen, with maximum p-type and n-type mob…
The presence of a quantum-critical point (QCP) can significantly affect the thermodynamic properties of a material at finite temperatures T . This is reflected, e.g., in the entropy landscape S ( T , r ) in the vicinity of a QCP, yielding particularly strong variations for varying the tuning parameter r such as pressu…
