Pulsed-gradient spin−echo (PGSE) 1 H NMR experiments were carried out on swollen poly( N, N -dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAA) gels with various degrees of swelling ( Q ) under a state of equilibrium with deuterated water (D 2 O) as solvent and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a probe polymer, of which the molecular weight ra…
Two activated carbons from different sources were oxidized with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and the effects of this on their porous structure and sorption of water and methanol were studied. The microstructural properties were derived from analysis of N 2 isotherms. The surface acidity was assessed using Boehm t…
Studies on the effect of the structural and compositional properties of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their decomposition products on the ethanolysis of propylene oxide to form glycol ethers are reported. The reaction, supported by results of indicator titrations, is used as a tool for elucidating the identity…
The kinetics of acetylene hydrogenation in the presence of a large excess of ethylene was studied in a laboratory flow reactor. Experiments were carried out using a Pd/α-Al 2 O 3 commercial catalyst and a simulated cracker gas mixture (H 2 /C 2 H 2 = 50; 60% C 2 H 4; 30% H 2, and traces of CO), at varying temperature…
The role of metal–metal bonding interactions is reviewed in the context not only of cluster chemistry, but also in linear gold(I) compounds. The latter, although much weaker than the former, can lead to interesting infinite and catenane structures which arise from supramolecular interactions.
4-Urazoylbenzoic acid groups are attached to the chain ends of polyisobutylene. The cooperative assembling process of these polar groups is studied by DSC and dielectric and dynamic mechanical spectroscopy. The melting of the ordered clusters occurs in the temperature range 380−390 K. Distortions within the U4A cluste…
The first observation of a ligand-driven light-induced spin-state change (LD-LISC effect) in a transition-metal complex is reported. The compounds under investigation are of the type Fe(II)L(4)X(2), where L is a cis/trans photoisomerizable ligand. For an iron(II) spin-state change to result from ligand cis <--> trans…

A new series of liquid-crystalline Schiff base lanthanide compounds of the general formula (L‘‘H) 2 L‘‘MX 2 was prepared (L‘‘H = H 2 n +1 C n OC 6 H 3 (OH)CHNC m H 2 m +1; n = 7, 12; m = 14, 18; M = La, Tb, Dy, Er, Nd, Ho, Eu, Pr, and Gd; X = NO 3 or Cl). The thermal behavior of these complexes was examined by polariz…
A thermodynamic model is given for phase separation induced by the increase of network elasticity during free-radical cross-linking polymerization. The importance of network elasticity in the field of polymer dispersed liquid crystals is stressed. The concept of a conversion−phase diagram is introduced as an attractiv…
By conjugating proteins with a common pH-sensitive fluorescent label, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and controlling the ionic strength, we provide a means to decrease the characteristic length scale of the total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) technique by two orders of magnitude. The usual characteristic…
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer is a powerful tool for studying nanometer-scale distances in biological macromolecules under physiological conditions. Using luminescent lanthanides instead of conventional fluorophores as donor molecules in energy transfer measurements offers many technical advantages and opens…
The importance of two buried salt bridges in barnase in the stability of its folded state, the major transition rate for unfolding, and a folding intermediate has been analyzed by protein engineering, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies. The aspartate residues in the bridges Arg69-Asp93 and Arg83-Asp75 were replaced by…
Magnetic properties of the layered materials Cu 2 (OH) 3 ( n -C m H 2 m +1 COO) ( m = 0, 1, 7, 8, and 9) have been examined. X-ray powder diffraction patterns indicate that the interlayer distance increases in the order of m . The interlayer distances of the m = 0 and 1 materials are shorter than the molecular heights…
We demonstrate that a surfactant-stabilized molten globule intermediate exists for recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), is very hydrophobic, and tends to form aggregates. Characterization of this intermediate included equilibrium denaturation measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and CD spectroscopy, a…
A phylogeny of the diatoms was inferred from comparisons of nuclear-encoded small subunit ribosomal RNA coding regions using maximum likelihood, weighted maximum parsimony, and neighbor-joining distance methods with Jukes and Cantor, Kimura, Gamma, van de Peer, and LogDet evolutionary models. Analyses of 30 taxa in 11…
We report an extensive ab initio study of the electric dipole polarizability and hyperpolarizability of carbon monoxide. The bond length dependence of the molecular properties has been determined from finite-field complete fourth-order many-body perturbation theory and coupled cluster calculations with very large, wel…
The zinc alkoxy(siloxy) complex {Zn[OSi(O t Bu) 3 ] 2 } 2 has been prepared and studied as a molecular precursor to zinc orthosilicate, Zn 2 SiO 4 . This complex, prepared by reaction of ZnMe 2 with HOSi(O t Bu) 3, has been characterized by X-ray crystallography as a dimer with two four-coordinate zinc centers. It cle…

We use atomic force microscopy (AFM) with phase detection imaging (PDI) in order to study the surface microdomain morphology of thick (i.e., ca. 2 mm) films of triblock copolymers. We present here the results obtained on a poly(methyl methacrylate)- block -polybutadiene- block -poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA- b -PBD-…
