Formation of nanometer-sized particles in NH3/SO2/H2O/Air mixtures by α-ray irradiation was studied experimentally to evaluate the effect of NH3 gas on the gas-to-particle conversion process. The total particle number concentration, the charged-particle fraction, and the electrical mobility distribution of particles g…
Al1.8Fe0.2O3 solid solutions have been prepared as amorphous, η (cubic) and α (corundum) phases. The oxides have been reduced in a H2–CH4 gas mixture at 900 or 1000 °C, giving rise to composite powders containing alumina, α- and γ-Fe, Fe3C and different forms of carbon including nanotubes, thick tubes and spheroidal p…
Iron(III) 5-(pentafluorophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin has been synthesised and used to catalyse hydrocarbon oxidation by iodosylbenzene. In homogeneous solution it is shown to be a stable and effective catalyst for alkene epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation with a selectivity and reactivity close…
A novel solvothermal method has been developed to obtain nanocrystalline Cu 2–x Se at low temperature; CuI and Se were placed at 90 °C for 4 h in an autoclave with ethylenediamine as solvent and the product was characterized by XRD, TEM and XPS. The results revealed that as prepared Cu 2–x Se grains were nearly homoge…
Soft lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics exhibit a nonsymmetric deformation behavior, where the tensile strains exceed the compressive strains for a given stress level. This phenomenon affects the strains in bending tests. In addition to the normally determined bending strain that is measured by the curvature of a…
An exact nonperturbative inversion method is described for transmission electron diffraction which allows crystal structure factors to be obtained directly from the intensities of multiply scattered Bragg beams. These amplitudes are required at several thicknesses (or electron beam energies) and orientations of a thin…
Surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) has considerable potential as an ultra-sensitive analytical technique; for the first time the synthesis of specific dye ligands designed to overcome major problems in obtaining reliable SERRS is described.
A cyclic Zn-porphyrin trimer with ethyne and butadiyne links stabilises the thermodynamically disfavoured endo transition state and product of a reversible Diels–Alder reaction; at 30°C the endo adduct is formed rapidly and almost exclusively. Linear porphyrin dimers containing ethyne or butadiyne links show related s…
Multimetallics such as dendrimer 3 which are functionalised at their periphery with platinum(II) metal centres reversibly absorb SO2 to yield macromolecules with significantly enhanced solubility characteristics and drastic colour changes; properties which make these compounds highly active sensors for milligram quant…
Abstract Highly concentrated 0.5 M II‐VI semiconductor quantum dot solutions for coating applications can be synthesized employing chalcogenolysis and condensation of functionalized cluster‐like cadmium and zinc ethoxy‐acetates. Furthermore, in nucleation studies on CdSe solutions, new magic clusters between 0.42 and…
The effect of temperature on the surface plasmon absorption of Au@SiO2 particles has been measured from 14 to 70°C in aqueous solutions and from 16 to 50°C in ethanolic solutions. The particles remain completely dispersed at elevated temperatures because of the silica shell. As the temperature is increased, there is p…
gamma-Irradiation was used to produce free-standing sterilized edible films based on caseinate. The effects of calcium ions (Ca(2+)) and two plasticizers, namely propylene glycol (PG) and triethylene glycol (TEG), were investigated, as was the effect of the irradiation on both the gel formation and mechanical properti…
Two new sampling and analysis techniques for assessing the condition of EPDM (ethylene-propylene diene monomer) composite insulators are presented. Polymer oxidation is assessed by removing small amounts of surface polymer by swabbing with xylene and analyzing this material by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) emissio…
The cation radical states of novel TTF vinylogues with o-substituted phenyl groups at the vinyl positions are thermodynamically stable, and X-ray analyses of the cation radical salts have revealed the planar structures of the TTF vinylogue parts and unique crystal structures.
Calix[4]resorcinarenes are phenolic macrocyclic compounds, and readily available from resorcinols and aldehydes. We were interested in calix[4]resorcinarenes as highly functionalized core molecules for the rapid synthesis of dendrimers because of their ease of synthesis and because they are less affected by steric con…
The critical molecular structure change from columnar to lamellar mesophases in bis(diphenylglyoximato)nickel(ii)-based complexes has been investigated. When the number of the long chains surrounding the core complex part was reduced from eight to four, the mesophase changes its structure from columnar Colhd to novel…
Computational methods based on the density functional theory have been employed in the search for new ferromagnetic molecules and several compounds are predicted to exhibit stronger ferromagnetic coupling than the known hydroxo-bridged complexes, especially remarkable is the very strong coupling predicted for oxo-brid…
The molecular chaperone ClpX of Escherichia coli plays two distinct functions for bacteriophage Mu DNA replication by transposition. As specificity component of a chaperone-linked protease, it recognizes the Mu immunity repressor for degradation by the peptidase component ClpP, thus derepressing Mu transposition funct…
Conoscopic studies reveal that the nematic phase of 4,4-(p-terphenyl)-bis\[2,3,4-tri(dodecyloxy)benzal]imine is biaxial, the biaxial angle increasing with schlieren textures exhibited by the nematic phase have been between glass plates, as well as free-standing consisting entirely of s or 2-brush disclinations, confir…
Crystals of E. coli cytochrome b1, alias bacterioferritin, were grown fr om a low ionic strength solution. The resulting monoclniic P21 structure was solved by molecular replacement and refined using noncrystallographi c symmetries applied to the fundamental unit, consisting of two protein subunits and a single haem.…
