Abstract We report the deterministic growth of individual single‐crystal organic semiconductor nanowires of silver–tetracyanoquinodimethane (Ag–TCNQ) with high yield (>90%) by a vapor–solid chemical reaction process. Ag–metal films or patterned dots deposited onto substrates serve as chemical reaction centers and a…

The structure of human protein HSPC034 has been determined by both solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Refinement of the NMR structure ensemble, using a Rosetta protocol in the absence of NMR restraints, resulted in significant improvements not only in structure quality, b…

Electronic structure of bismuth telluride nanowires with the growth directions [110] and [015] is studied in the framework of the anisotropic effective-mass method using the parabolic band approximation. The components of the electron and hole effective-mass tensors for six valleys are calculated for both growth direc…

We present a neutron reflectivity study of the internal structure of multilayers made of a weak polyelectrolyte and a neutral component where interactions between adjacent layers are controlled by hydrogen-bonding. We found the degree of interpenetration of polymer layers expressed as the interlayer roughness to be st…

Peroxoniobate species are found whenever niobium oxides are employed as photocatalysts or used to sequester radionuclides. The reactions of [Nb6O19]8− and [Nb10O28]6− with hydrogen peroxide each behave differently, and the first example of a peroxopolyoxoniobate species, [N(CH3)4]5[H3Nb6O13(O(I)2)6]⋅9.5 H2O, was struc…

Abstract Aminopropylisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) was used to prepare a POSS‐containing reversible addition‐fragmentation transfer (RAFT) agent. The POSS‐containing RAFT agent was used in the RAFT polymerization of N ‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) to produce tadpole‐shaped organic/inorganic hybrid…

In order to achieve a stable, long-term operation of flexible electronic devices, it is necessary to firmly fix semiconductive conjugated polymers to plastic substrates, thus preventing their damage against delamination or chemical treatments. Surface-initiated Kumada catalyst-transfer polycondensation of 2-bromo-5-ch…
