A new tris(tetrathiafulvaleno)dodecadehydro[18]annulene with six peripheral n-hexyl substituents was prepared by oxidative Glaser-Hay cyclization of a corresponding diethynylated tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) precursor. The electronic properties of the neutral and oxidized species were studied by both UV/Vis absorption spe…
A method is presented to allow the calculation of the dipole polarizabilities of ions and molecules in a condensed-phase coordination environment. These values will be useful for understanding the optical properties of materials and for developing simulation potentials which incorporate polarization effects. The repor…

Using two different high-pressure techniques, we have prepared boron-doped diamonds with atomic concentration of the dopant ranging from 0.04% to 4% (from $7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{19}$ to $7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{21}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{atom}∕{\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$) and stud…
Active gold and palladium nanoparticles supported on MgO nanocubes and ZnO nanobelts and transition-metal-containing MgO nanobelts were synthesized by combining evaporation and deposition-precipitation techniques. The high activity and stability of the Au/CeO2 and Pd/CeO2 nanoparticle catalysts deposited on the MgO cu…
Materials possessing the high acidities of sulfated zirconia and the diffusion properties of mesoporous oxides are predicted to have numerous applications in the petrochemical industry. Because of surface deactivation and loss of structure under highly acidic conditions, there are few examples of materials which meet…
In this paper we present the effect of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer micelles and their hydrophobicity on the stabilization of gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles were prepared by a method developed by Sakai et al. (Sakai, T.; Alexandridis, P. Langmuir 2004, 20, 842…
A paramagnetic ligand 6bpyNO (2,2'-bipyridin-6-yl tert-butyl nitroxide) is a newcomer in the field of metal-radical hybrid magnetic materials. Complexes [CuII(6bpyNO)Cl2] and [NiII(6bpyNO)2](PF6)2 having highly planar chelate rings showed considerably strong ferromagnetic exchange couplings J/kB = 202 and 192 K, respe…
Multivariate statistical analysis methods have been applied to scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) energy-dispersive X-ray spectral images. The particular application of the multivariate curve resolution (MCR) technique provides a high spectral contrast view of the raw spectral image. The power of this ap…
Abstract The melting behavior of poly( L ‐lactic acid) film crystallized from the glassy state, either isothermally or nonisothermally, was studied by wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), small angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and temperature‐modulated differential scanning calor…
Programmable metallization cell (PMC) memory is based on the electrochemical growth and removal of nanoscale metallic pathways in thin films of solid electrolyte. Our previous studies concentrated on electrolytes formed from silver-doped germanium selenide glasses but these materials are not able to withstand the temp…
Three generations of azido-terminated PEG-dendritic block copolymers have been synthesized and completely characterized by NMR and MALDI-TOF. A radial decrease of density, leading to more mobile protons at the outermost periphery, and an increasingly higher compactness of the core with generation have been determined…
A simple method based on a hydrothermal process using alkali salts as mineralizers is proposed for the synthesis of aligned bunches of boehmite (gamma-AlOOH) nanowires without a template's assistance. Most bunches of aligned boehmite nanowires are constructed by two separated shorter bundles with widths of 700 to appr…
Synthesis and peptide-guided self-assembly of an organo-soluble peptide-polymer conjugate, comprising a sequence-defined polypeptide and a poly(n-butyl acrylate), are described. The amino acid sequence of the peptide encodes a high tendency to adopt an antiparallel beta-sheet motif, and thus programs the formation of…
We have prepared amphiphilic dumbbell molecules consisting of hydrophobic alkyl chains and hydrophilic oligoether dendrons at each end of the rod segment. The molecular dumbbells, in aqueous solution, self-assemble into toroids as an intermediate nanostructure between spherical and long cylindrical micelles. The forma…
Highly open porous biodegradable scaffolds, based on gelatin A3, were fabricated with the aim of using them for tissue-engineering applications. The fabrication process is based on an emulsion-templating technique. In the preparation of gelatin scaffolds two different cross-linking procedures were adopted: (I) radical…
The effect of linker chain length on the energy transfer from CdSe quantum dots (QDs) to silicon phthalocyanine (Pc) photodynamic therapy agents was investigated by steady-state and femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy with 500 nm light for the specific excitation of the QD energy donor. The conjugation between the…
Magnetoresistance and radio frequency penetration depth techniques are used to study grain connectivity and broadening of superconducting transition. We study and compare these issues in clean polycrytalline samples of three different superconducting systems e.g. MgB2, NbSe2 and Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10. From the rf response,…
We consider a model of a molecular junction made of BDT (benzene dithiol) molecule trapped between two Au(100) leads. Using the ab initio approach implemented in the SIESTA package we look for the optimal configuration of the molecule as a function of a distance between the leads. We find that for the distance long en…
In this work we have studied systematically the changes in the magnetic behavior of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples after proton irradiation in the MeV energy range. Superconducting quantum interferometer device (SQUID) results obtained from samples with thousands of localized spots of micrometer siz…
