[reaction: see text] A library of hanging porphyrin xanthene (HPX) compounds containing pendant groups with various proton-donating abilities (pK(a) ranging from approximately 2 to 25) has been synthesized. Their corresponding chloroiron(III) complexes promote the catalase-like disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide.…
A new dyad 1 with two spiropyran units as the photochromic acceptors and one fluorescein unit as the fluorescent donor was synthesized and characterized. External inputs (ultraviolet light, visible light, and proton) induce the reversible changes of the structure and, concomitantly, the absorption spectrum of dyad 1 d…
Abstract Residual cellulose fibers from the paper industry have been used as reinforcements in recycled polypropylene (PP) composites. The main obstacle to obtaining good properties with this biocomposite is deficiencies in the compatibility between the nonpolar matrices and the polar cellulose fibers used as reinforc…
The discovery that supported gold clusters act as highly efficient catalysts for low-temperature oxidation reactions has led to a great deal of work aimed at understanding the origins of the catalytic activity. Several studies have shown that the presence of trace moisture is required for the catalysts to function. Us…
Basically, a good catalyst: The introduction of NHx species into the framework of mesoporous silicas results in silicon oxynitride materials and generates basic sites, which exhibit considerable catalytic activity for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction (see scheme). The well-ordered mesoporous oxynitrides have a hi…
Escherichia coli clinical strain Gre-1 collected in 2000 from a French hospital harboured a novel CTX-M-encoding gene, designated blaCTX-M-27. CTX-M-27 differed from CTX-M-14 only by the substitution D240G and was the third CTX-M enzyme harbouring this mutation after CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-16. The Gly-240-harbouring enzym…
Abstract A novel epoxy system was developed through the in situ curing of bisphenol A type epoxy and 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane with the sol–gel reaction of a phosphorus‐containing trimethoxysilane (DOPO–GPTMS), which was prepared from the reaction of 9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐oxide (DOPO) with 3‐g…
The dimerized-incommensurate phase transition in the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO$_3$ is probed using multifrequency high-resolution electron spin resonance (ESR) technique, in magnetic fields up to 17 T. A field-induced development of the soliton-like incommensurate superstructure is clearly indicated as a pronounced…
Arising as a fluctuation phenomenon, the equilibrium distribution of meandering steps with mean separation $<\ell>$ on a "tilted" surface can be fruitfully analyzed using results from RMT. The set of step configurations in 2D can be mapped onto the world lines of spinless fermions in 1+1D using the Calogero-Sutherland…
Effective surface-passivation of PbS nanocrystals in aqueous colloidal solution has been achieved following treatment with CdS precursors. The resultant photoluminescent emission displays two distinct components, one originating from the absorption band-edge and the other from above the absorption band-edge. We show t…
Titanium dioxide has shown its potential application in solar cells, optical waveguides, gas sensors and photochromic devices. One of the hindrances for miniaturization of these devices is the lack of an easy and reliable way of patterning TiO<sub>2</sub>. In this paper, we describe a simple process of electron beam p…
Abstract Linear soluble polybenzyls, although deceptively simple in structure, have been strangely elusive. We report for the first time the synthesis of perfectly linear soluble polybenzyls by the polycondensation of 1,2,4,5‐tetrasubstituted benzenes with formaldehyde using CHCl 3 /trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as the m…
Abstract The orientation of poly(ethylene naphthalene‐2,6‐dicarboxylate) (PEN) films with different morphologies were studied by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. Different structures were obtained by thermally treating biaxially stretched PEN samples. Virgin and thermally treated (1 h at 240, 250, and 260°C) samples of P…
The crystal structure of AlPO 4 low cristobalite was refined at 25, 75, 125, 150, 175 and 200 °C from X-ray powder data with the Rietveld method confirming the orthorhombic symmetry C222 1 with very small deviation from tetragonal symmetry. Upon heating, the atoms are shifted by 0.022(3) A on the average towards their…
The aqueous base dissolution behavior and hydrogen bonding interaction of polymers bearing hexafluoroisopropanol (HFA) as an acid group have been investigated. While pKa of HFA is similar to that of phenol, the dissolution rate of HFA polymers in aqueous base varies from one structure to another. Poly(norbornene hexaf…
Poly(3-hydroxy alkanoate)s (PHA)s are bacterial polyesters that have, due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility, attracted considerable industrial interest. All the substrates used in feeding Alcaligenes eutrophus and Pseudomonas oleovorans have been reviewed as far as we know, and some more new substrates or…
The crystal structure of a yeast hypothetical protein with sequence similarity to CN hydrolases has been determined to 2.4 A resolution by the multiwavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) method. The protein folds as a four-layer alphabetabetaalpha sandwich and exists as a dimer in the crystal and in solution. It was se…
Spherically shaped voids, of nanometer size, are observed in molecular-beam epitaxially grown SiGe alloy layers implanted in-situ at elevated temperature with low-energy Ge ions, followed by thermal treatments. The voids are exclusively assembled in the narrow, implanted band. The voids only appear in the layers after…
Abstract Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber (OPEFB) was successfully carried out in aqueous medium using hydrogen peroxide as an initiator. Results from the investigation of the optimum conditions for grafting are presented. Maximum percentage of grafting was achi…
Abstract Poly(methyl methacrylate)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ bulk polymerization. The results showed that the silicone coupling agent affected the structure and properties of hybrid materials. XRD analysis showed that the dispersion of clay in nanocomposites with silicone‐modified o…
