The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of ethyl acrylate (EA) was carried out in bulk at 90 °C in the presence of organically modified nanoclay as an additive. A remarkable enhancement in the rate of polymerization was observed and it was compared with the ATRP of EA without nanoclay. Time of dispersion of cl…
Abstract A series of novel dendritic carbazole‐functionalized subporphyrins, T(Cz‐G n )SubPs ( n = 1–3), have been synthesized from pyridine–tri(pyrrol‐1‐yl)borane and the corresponding aldehydes. This study has demonstrated that intramolecular energy transfer from the carbazole dendron to the subporphyrin core occurs…
Highly ordered mesoporous Pt and Pt-based alloy (Pt−Ru and Pt−Ni) microparticles were deposited from lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) films containing corresponding metal species via vapor infiltration of a reducing agent of dimethylaminoborane (DMAB). The LLC films with 2D hexagonal symmetry were prepared on flat subst…
The wavelength-dependent molecular first hyperpolarizability β of the zwitterionic nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore picolinium quinodimethane (PQDM) is determined by hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) and used to test and improve theoretical β dispersion models. Experimental HRS data are obtained over a very wide fund…
Abstract Phosphomolybdate has been employed simultaneously as the oxidizing agent for the monomer polymerization and the reduced polyoxometalate is used as reducing agent for the reduction of metal ions. The composites thus obtained have been characterized and may have many potential applications.
Nanophase cobalt, nickel and zinc ferrites, in which the crystallites are in the size range 4-25 nm, were synthesised by coprecipitation and subsequent annealing. X-Ray absorption spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation (supported by X-ray powder diffraction) was used to study the effects of particle size on the dist…
Ferroelectric domain nucleation and growth in multiferroic BiFeO(3) is studied on a single-domain level by using piezoresponse force spectroscopy. Variation of local electromechanical response with dc tip bias is used to determine the size of the domain formed below the conductive scanning probe tip. The domain parame…
Concomitant polymorphism is the result of an interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics. By understanding this interplay and the effect of operational factors on it, concomitant polymorphism can be avoided, and product quality can be improved. Antisolvent crystallization of o -aminobenzoic acid ( o -ABA) was perfor…
A combined experimental and theoretical/band structure investigation is reported of Ga-doped CdO (CGO) and In-doped CdO (CIO) thin films grown on both amorphous glass and single-crystal MgO(100) substrates at 410 °C by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Film phase structure, microstructure, and electrica…
We report a mechanistic investigation of an isomeric series of beta-galactosidase-activated magnetic resonance contrast agents. Our strategy focuses on the synthesis of macrocyclic caged-complexes that coordinatively saturate a chelated lanthanide. Enzyme cleavage of the complex results in an open coordination site av…
We rigorously study eigenvalues and eigenfunctions (vibration modes) on the class of self-similar symmetric finitely ramified fractals, which include the Sierpinski gasket and other 3 n -gaskets. We consider the classical Laplacian on fractals which generalizes the usual one-dimensional second derivative, is the gener…
Enhancing the structural complexity and functionality of building blocks allows the design and synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures. In this work, we use a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization to produce polymers with well-defined chain length and telechelic end group functionality and “cli…
We investigated regions of different helical stability within human type I collagen and discussed their role in intermolecular interactions and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). By differential scanning calorimetry and circular dichroism, we measured and mapped changes in the collagen melting temperature (DeltaTm) for 41…
Adsorption of poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers to silicon oxide surfaces was studied as a function of pH, ionic strength, and dendrimer generation. By combining optical reflectometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM), the adsorbed layers can be fully characterized and an unequivocal determination of the adsorbed m…
UNLABELLED: Nanoparticles (NPs) targeting the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) hold promise as a mean of delivering therapeutics to the pulmonary endothelium in patients with acute and chronic respiratory diseases. As these new materials become available, strategies are needed to understand their behavior in…
Hexadecanethiol (n-C16), 2,2-dimethylhexadecane-1-thiol (DMC16), and the multidentate thiol-based ligands 2-tetradecylpropane-1,3-dithiol (C16C2), 2-methyl-2-tetradecylpropane-1,3-dithiol (C16C3), and 1,1,1-tris(mercaptomethyl)pentadecane (t-C16) were evaluated for their ability to stabilize large gold nanoparticles (…
We present an algorithmic framework for a variant of the quantum Monte Carlo operator-loop algorithm, where non-local cluster updates are constructed in a way that makes each individual loop smaller. The algorithm is designed to increase simulation efficiency in cases where conventional loops become very large, do not…
Extraordinary Hall effect and X-ray spectroscopy measurements have been performed on a series of Pt/Co/MOx trilayers (M=Al, Mg, Ta...) in order to investigate the role of oxidation in the onset of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the Co/MOx interface. It is observed that varying the oxidation time modifies the mag…
This work presents a detailed evaluation of the performance of density functional theory (DFT) for the prediction of zero-field splittings (ZFSs) in Mn(II) coordination complexes. Eighteen experimentally well characterized four-, five-, and six-coordinate complexes of the general formula [Mn(L)nL'2] with L' = Cl, Br,…
We report on the experimental observation by scanning tunneling microscopy at low temperature of ring-like features that appear around Co metal clusters deposited on a clean (110) oriented surface of cleaved p-type InAs crystals. These features are visible in spectroscopic images within a certain range of negative tun…
