Dendrimers are monodispersed, hyperbranched macromolecules which have a globular shape and high pendant group density. Due to these unique properties, dendrimers have been used for catalytic, biochemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical and energy transfer applications. This study demonstrates the potential of a dendrimeri…

In-coating dispersions of the para-toluene sulfonic acid emeraldine salt (ES) of polyaniline (PAni-pTS) are shown to be highly effective inhibitors of corrosion-driven organic coating delamination on zinc surfaces. However, this inhibition is achieved without the characteristic ennoblement of substrate potentials typi…

Pyridine N-oxide-BF2CF3 and -BF2C2F5 complexes and their derivatives were synthesized. Most of the complexes show fluorescence both in solution and in the solid state. By expanding the π-conjugated skeleton, the color of the fluorescence could be changed dramatically. A fluorophore with a high solvent dependency could…

All that's nano is not gold: Definite, crystalline molecular compounds of noble metals have been known for gold for the last few years. Now a simple synthesis of a nanoscale silver cluster compound containing [Ag44 (S-C6 H4 COOH)30 ](4-) ions has been found leading to gram scales quantities. Synthetic, structural, and…
