Less is more: This Highlight describes a simple new procedure to access well-defined formal low-valent iron complexes by ligand exchange and reductive elimination (see scheme). This method offers a good starting point for the further development of iron catalysts.
Structural quantities such as order parameters and correlation functions are often employed to gain insight into the physical behavior and properties of condensed matter systems. Although standard quantities for characterizing structure exist, often they are insufficient for treating problems in the emerging field of…
A new hybrid material consisting of a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and carbon nanotube (CNT) was synthesized by a simple and versatile approach entailing click coupling between azide moiety-functionalized POSS and alkyne-functionalized multi-walled CNTs. This approach provides a simple and convenient ro…
Abstract Biodegradable, spectrally tunable plasmon resonant nanocapsules are created via the deposition of gold onto the surface of 100 nm diameter thermosensitive liposomes. These nanocapsules exhibit selective release of encapsulated contents upon illumination with light of a wavelength matching their distinct reson…
Quantum clusters (QCs) of silver such as Ag7(H2MSA)7, Ag8(H2MSA)8 (H2MSA, mercaptosuccinic acid) were synthesized by the interfacial etching of Ag nanoparticle precursors and were loaded on metal oxide supports to prepare active catalysts. The supported clusters were characterized using high resolution transmission el…
A thin film of novel hierarchical structure, suitable for supercapacitor applications, has been developed through combining conductive multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and square IrO(2) nanotubes (IrO(2)NT) of nanometer size. Synthesis of this hierarchical structure with open porosity is performed by depositing Ir…
The performance of biomaterials designed for bone repair depends, in part, on the ability of the material to support the adhesion and survival of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, a nanofibrous bone-mimicking scaffold was electrospun from a mixture of polycaprolactone (PCL), collagen I, and hydroxyapatite…
The antiferromagnetic structures of the layered oxychalcogenides (Sr(1-x)Ba(x))(2)CoO(2)Cu(2)S(2) (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been determined by powder neutron diffraction. In these compounds Co(2+) is coordinated by four oxide ions in a square plane and two sulfide ions at the apexes of an extremely tetragonally elongated octah…
Besides thermodynamic information, vibration can identify modes of a molecule by comparison of the spectroscopy and parameterize force field. By the application of group theory with the state of projection operators, a systematic method for getting the vibration model of molecule the zigzag single-walled Boron nitride…
We performed neutron reflectivity measurements on multilayered polymer thin films consisting of alternatively stacked deuterated polystyrene (d-PS) and hydrogenated polystyrene (h-PS) layers ∼200 Å thick as a function of temperature covering the glass-transition temperature T(g), and we found a wide distribution of T(…
The successful invention of self-healing polymer composites a decade ago necessitated a methodology to quantify the ability of the material to heal and recover structural properties following damage. Healing efficiency was defined as the ratio of healed to virgin fracture toughness, η = K IC healed / K IC virgin . Ear…
Abstract Stereocomplex crystallization between PLLA and PDLA is known to be disturbed when their molecular weights increase to >10 5 g · mol −1 . Here, solution casting of PLLA and PDLA with different solvents was performed repeatedly to increase the time for the PLLA/PDLA solution in the concentration range in whi…
Wie die Tentakel einer Krake: Porphyrinoligomere binden fest an einwandige Kohlenstoffnanoröhren und entbündeln Nanoröhrenaggregate. Die Stärke der Wechselwirkung steigt mit der Zahl der Porphyrineinheiten im Oligomer stark an, und die höchste Affinität wird bei chiralen (7,5)- und (8,6)-Röhren erreicht. Quantitative…
The elementary excitations of monolayer graphene, which behave as massless Dirac particles, make it a fascinating venue in which to study relativistic quantum phenomena. One notable example is Klein tunneling, a phenomena in which electrons convert to holes to tunnel through a potential barrier. However, the omniprese…
The physical properties of a periodic distribution of absorbent resonators is used in this work to design a tunable wideband bandstop acoustic filter. Analytical and numerical simulations as well as experimental validations show that the control of the resonances and the absorption of the scatterers along with their p…
The specific properties of incommensurate multiferroic phases resulting from the coupling of order-parameter replicates are worked out using the illustrative example of iron vanadate. The dephasing between the order-parameter copies induces an additional broken symmetry phase corresponding to the lowest symmetry of th…
Paramagnetic centers in a solid-state environment usually give rise to inhomogenously broadened electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lines, making conventionally detected free induction decay (FID) signals disappear within the spectrometer dead time. Here, experimental results of an electrically detected FID of phosp…
The use of Sonic Crystals as environmental noise barriers has certain advantages from the acoustical and the constructive point of view with regard to conventional ones. One aspect do not studied yet is the acoustic interaction between the Sonic Crystals and the ground due to, up to now, this latter is not included in…
Inexpensive and biodegradable thermoplastics were developed through graft polymerization of native chicken feather with methyl acrylate as a potential substitute for petroleum products. Poultry feathers are available in large quantities at a low price. However, natural chicken feathers have poor thermoplasticity, cann…
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength of plasmonic nanoparticles is sensitive to changes in the dielectric function of its exposed surface to the medium. Gold nanocages (AuNCs) have two surfaces (inner and outer) and thus two plasmon fields., When the dielectric of the medium changes around the outer surface only…
