Three new heterospin complexes derived from trans-oxamido-bridged copper(II) binuclear units [Cu(2)(oxen), oxen = N,N-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamide] and pyridine-substituted nitronyl nitroxides (o-, m-, and p-PYNN) were synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. Complexes 1 and 2 are four-spin complexes.…
The melting behavior of nanostructured organic materials (drugs) embedded into a cross-linked polymeric matrix was studied for the first time. The complex microstructure of these nanocomposites, yielded by the polymer matrix in which molecular clusters and nanocrystals of drug plus a cospiquous fraction of water are c…
Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta4Gal-T1) in the presence of manganese ion transfers galactose from UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) that is either free or linked to an oligosaccharide. Crystallographic studies on bovine beta4Gal-T1 have shown that the primary metal binding site is located in…
Abstract Spray drying a mixture of silica and polystyrene latex (PSL) colloids above the decomposition temperature of PSL results in the formation of porous silica particles. By appropriate selection of the experimental conditions, such as the use of a tubular temperature, the weight fraction of colloids, and the flow…
The haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily is comprised of structurally homologous enzymes that share several conserved sequence motifs (loops I-IV) in their active site. The majority of HAD members are phosphohydrolases and may be divided into three subclasses depending on domain organization. In classes I and II, a…
Metastabil bis zu 280 K: {MoVCuICuII5} (S=3) wird bei Lichtanregung durch intramolekularen Elektronentransfer vom MoIV-Zentrum zu einem der CuII-Termini von [MoIV(CN)2(CN-CuII(L))6]8+ (1; L=Tris(2-aminoethyl)amin) gebildet (siehe Bild: Mo gelb; C schwarz; N hellblau; Cu dunkelblau). Dieser Prozess ist thermisch revers…
A nitronyl-nitroxide (NIT) biradical D-NIT2 linked by a single double bond has been engineered and investigated in the solid state by a combination of X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility measurement, EPR, as well as solid-state (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopies, and experimental electron density distribution. A…
The influence of a chiral gelator molecule, N, N ‘, N ‘ ‘ -tris-( S )-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (( S )DO 3 B), on the structure in the formation of supramolecular polymers and viscoelasticity was examined in an organogel system consisting of a racemic mixture of the gelator molecule, N, N ‘, N ‘…
The mechanisms controlling the reduction of cobalt and the growth of metallic cobalt clusters in Co-MCM-41 catalysts at different stages in the process of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) synthesis were investigated both by in-situ and ex-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. We have found that prereduction of the ca…
We present a high-resolution study of the isotropic to nematic phase transition of a low birefringence liquid-crystal compound incorporating an aerosil gel. Calorimetry, light scattering, and microscopy data coherently combine to allow for an accurate determination of the temperature dependence of the onset of the nem…
The contact angle of a drop in equilibrium on a solid is strongly affected by the roughness of the surface on which it rests. We study the roughness–induced enhancement of the hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties of a solid surface through homogenization theory. By relying on a variational formulation of the problem,…
A nonlinear optical technique--second harmonic generation (SHG)--has been applied to characterize the adsorption of poly-L-lysine on micrometer size polystyrene particles, whose surface is covered with negatively charged sulfonate groups, in aqueous solutions. Adsorption behavior of the biopolymer with two chain lengt…
The detection of sialic acid in living systems is of importance for the diagnosis of several types of malignancy. We have designed and synthesized two new lanthanide ion ligands (L1 and L2) that are capable of molecular recognition of sialic acid residues. The basic structure of these ligands consists of a DTPA-bisami…
Exploiting the effect of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the Raman signal of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be enhanced by up to 14 orders of magnitude when the tubes are in contact with silver or gold nanostructures and Raman scattering takes place predominantly in the enhanced local optical field…
Skeletal tissues associate, in close interaction, an organic matrix and a mineral network. In crustaceans, chitin, the most frequent polysaccharide in invertebrate exoskeletons, is associated with calcite. In compact bone, collagen, major structural protein in vertebrate tissues is associated with hydroxyapatite. A pa…
Abstract The influence of ambient atmospheric exposure on the chemistry of the magnetron‐sputtered aluminium surface has been characterized as hydroxyl incorporation to the oxide surface and concurrent adsorption of airborne carbonaceous contamination. Here, the consequence of these changes in oxide surface chemistry…
Single crystals of tetrakis(thiadiazole)porphyrazine and the corresponding metal(II) derivatives, MTTDPz (M=H2, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) were grown by sublimation under reduced pressure with continuous N2 gas flow. Their structures, obtained by X-ray crystallographic analysis, depend significantly on the central metal…
Aeromonas hydrophila 4AK4 produces poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) containing 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and about 15 mol% 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) from dodecanoate. To study the factors affecting the monomer composition and PHBHHx content, genes encoding phasin (phaP), PHA synthase (phaC) and (R)…
Mesoporous and microporous monodispersed silica spheres have been prepared using a simple one-step synthetic procedure from an aqueous reaction mixture consisting of a commercial sodium silicate solution, various Pluronic triblock copolymers, and HCl or HNO 3 . The formation of porous silica spheres 130−225 μm in diam…
The bulk properties of organic crystalline materials depend on their molecular and crystal structures but, as many of these materials cannot be prepared in a suitable form for conventional single-crystal diffraction studies, structural characterization and rationalization of these properties must be obtained from powd…
