In tissue engineering, micro/nanofabrication is important to modify substrate surfaces for regulating the attachment and growth of cells. In neuroscience, it is significant for neural regeneration; this involves guiding and extending dendrites and axons by a cell culture scaffold which acts as an extra cellular matrix…
The optical properties of silicon and germanium nanowires grown within the pores of hexagonal mesoporous silica matrices have been characterised by ultraviolet absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A clear blue-shift in the PL of the semiconductor composite materials was observed as the diameter of the n…
The semicarbazone of 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carbaldehyde can be easily synthesized and is an effective tetradentate ligand for the coordination of rare-earth(III) ions. Investigations with yttrium(III) and lanthanum(III) in solution and in the solid state show, that the small yttrium ion can form 2 : 2 (1 : 1 stoichiome…
Biologists, and diatomists in particular, have long studied the properties of single-cell algae, and engineers are just discovering how to exploit features unique to these organisms. Their uniform nanopore structure, microchannels, chemical inertness, and silica microcrystal structure suggest many nanoscale applicatio…
An unprecedented antiferromagnetic exchange mediated by two -O-Zn-O- bridges, with singlet-triplet splitting J= 35.0 cm-1, was observed between two copper centers separated by 5.7062(9)A in the heterometallomacrocyclic diethanolamine (H2L) complex [Cu2Zn2(NH3)2Br2(HL)4]Br2.CH3OH.
Thermoelectric thin film micro-devices, especially high cooling power density Peltier coolers, are of high demand for e.g. chip hot spot cooling, life science applications, telecommunication purposes or self-standing and -powered sensor systems. Obviously, such applications stand for industrial high volume quantities…
Tris-porphyrin and tetrakis-porphyrin arrays 1 and 2 are proposed as models for the arrangement of the chromophores that constitute photosynthetic reaction centres (PRC's). Their porphyrinic chromophores are similar in distance apart to the key chromophores of PRC's and the C2 symmetric arrangement of the macrocycles…
The thermal conductivity of tetrahydrofuran hydrate has been measured in the temperature region 2-220 K by the steady-state potentiometric method. The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity exhibits behavior typical of amorphous substances. It is shown that above 100 K the mean free path of the phonons is…
Abstract Ab initio calculations show that a neutral polypyrrole chain in the ground state assumes a helical shape resulting from a novel bending mechanism, while upon oxidation the chain becomes planar within the polarons, an effect due to enhanced inter‐ring π bonding. This polaron‐induced conformation change leads t…
We report on the refractive indices of Sn2P2S6 crystals in the wavelength range 550 - 2300 nm. The measurements are performed at room temperature using the minimum deviation method. The dispersion is described by a two oscillator model yielding the oscillator energies and strengths (Sellmeier parameters) for all polar…
A neutral electrochemical chemosensor based on TTF exhibited high selectivity for H2PO4- over a wide range of anions and the significant C-H...O hydrogen bonding between C=C-H of the TTF unit and H2PO4- played an important role in regulating the selectivity.
We report the syntheses and crystal structures of (NH4)11[Ln(III)(PMo11O39)2.xH2O (where Ln = every trivalent lanthanide cation except promethium) in which two lacunary [PMo11O39]7- anions sandwich an 8-coordinate Ln(III) cation to yield the complex anion, [LnIII(PMo11O39)2]11-. The 14 salts crystallise in two differe…
Electrodeposition and electrochemical charging of hybrid organic/inorganic films composed of the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT, conducting polymer matrix, and Keggin type polyoxometallate, phosphododecamolybdate or phosphododecatungstate redox centers, are described under conditions of aqueous solutions. The…
A complete series of copper(ii) halide complexes [CuX(tptm)](X = F (), Cl (), Br (), I (); tptm = tris(2-pyridylthio)methyl) with a novel Cu(II)-C(sp(3)) bond has been prepared by the reactions of [Cu(tptm)(CH(3)CN)]PF(6)(.PF(6)) with corresponding halide sources of KF or n-Bu(4)NX (X = Cl, Br, I), and the trigonal bi…
Damping constants of free oscillations of coupled gas bubbles change considerably when time delays due to the finite speed of sound in the surrounding liquid are taken into account. This effect is illustrated analytically by the example of a two-bubble system and numerically by the example of a bubble chain. By compar…
The roots of Calotropis gigantea have been used in leprosy, eczema, syphilis, elephantiasis, ulceration and cough in the Indian system of traditional medicine. The present communication evaluated its antipyretic activity by using yeast-induced and TAB (Typhoid) vaccine-induced pyrexia in rats and rabbits. In both yeas…
The ability of a pyridine ligand on the photoresponsive 1,2-dithienylethene backbone to coordinate to a ruthenium porphyrin is modulated by interconverting the compound between its electronically insulated ring-open and electronically connected ring-closed form.
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is an important tool in structural biology, especially for protein secondary structure analyses. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) spectroscopy is a modified version of the technique that uses the intense light from a synchrotron source to enable the collection of dat…
Tribology is the branch of engineering that deals with the interaction of surfaces in relative motion (as in bearings or gears): their design, friction, adhesion, lubrication and wear. Continuous miniaturization of technological devices like hard disc drives and biosensors increases the necessity for the fundamental u…
Morphology is one of the basic characteristics of porous layers.For electrochemically grown pores, morphology is strongly dependent on the starting phase of pore growth, the so-called nucleation phase.This paper addresses uniform and nonuniform nucleation of pores on the surface and consequently the development of por…
