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-…
Nickel-containing mesoporous materials MCM-41 and AlMCM-41 have been prepared by synthesis and ion exchange. These materials are catalytically active for ethylene dimerization and 1-butene isomerization. The catalytic activity for the dimerization reaction is shown to be due to nickel(I) species, while the 1-butene di…
Carbon spheres have been synthesized using a mixed-valent oxide-catalytic carbonization process in macroscopic quantities and at low cost. The technique uses natural gas and reusable catalysts and produces no environmental waste or pollution. The product is all solid spheres (∼210 nm) comprised of layered graphitic fl…
We show how to measure dynamic specific heat and thermal conductivity of a solid or liquid sample using the 3ω technique, which is an ac-modulation method where we use a heater simultaneously as the sensor. By varying the width of the heater relative to the thermal decay length, one can choose the proper regime to mea…

The study of very low temperature magnetic relaxation in nanostructured materials has provided the opportunity to observe the occurrence of quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) in many different systems. As the magnetization is a classical vector, this effect is also referred to as macroscopic quantum tunneling (M…
The morphological behavior of a series of well-defined A 2 B simple graft or “Y” architecture block copolymers is characterized via small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This model architecture is formed by grafting a polystyrene block onto the center of a polyisoprene backbon…
The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of pyridine have been analyzed on the basis of a resonant charge transfer (CT) mechanism. The most intense bands recorded in the SERS at negative electrode potentials correspond with the normal modes that connect the equilibrium geometries of the neutral molecule an…
