Soft lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics exhibit a nonsymmetric deformation behavior, where the tensile strains exceed the compressive strains for a given stress level. This phenomenon affects the strains in bending tests. In addition to the normally determined bending strain that is measured by the curvature of a…
An exact nonperturbative inversion method is described for transmission electron diffraction which allows crystal structure factors to be obtained directly from the intensities of multiply scattered Bragg beams. These amplitudes are required at several thicknesses (or electron beam energies) and orientations of a thin…
Surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) has considerable potential as an ultra-sensitive analytical technique; for the first time the synthesis of specific dye ligands designed to overcome major problems in obtaining reliable SERRS is described.
A cyclic Zn-porphyrin trimer with ethyne and butadiyne links stabilises the thermodynamically disfavoured endo transition state and product of a reversible Diels–Alder reaction; at 30°C the endo adduct is formed rapidly and almost exclusively. Linear porphyrin dimers containing ethyne or butadiyne links show related s…
Multimetallics such as dendrimer 3 which are functionalised at their periphery with platinum(II) metal centres reversibly absorb SO2 to yield macromolecules with significantly enhanced solubility characteristics and drastic colour changes; properties which make these compounds highly active sensors for milligram quant…
Abstract Highly concentrated 0.5 M II‐VI semiconductor quantum dot solutions for coating applications can be synthesized employing chalcogenolysis and condensation of functionalized cluster‐like cadmium and zinc ethoxy‐acetates. Furthermore, in nucleation studies on CdSe solutions, new magic clusters between 0.42 and…
The effect of temperature on the surface plasmon absorption of Au@SiO2 particles has been measured from 14 to 70°C in aqueous solutions and from 16 to 50°C in ethanolic solutions. The particles remain completely dispersed at elevated temperatures because of the silica shell. As the temperature is increased, there is p…
gamma-Irradiation was used to produce free-standing sterilized edible films based on caseinate. The effects of calcium ions (Ca(2+)) and two plasticizers, namely propylene glycol (PG) and triethylene glycol (TEG), were investigated, as was the effect of the irradiation on both the gel formation and mechanical properti…
Two new sampling and analysis techniques for assessing the condition of EPDM (ethylene-propylene diene monomer) composite insulators are presented. Polymer oxidation is assessed by removing small amounts of surface polymer by swabbing with xylene and analyzing this material by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) emissio…
The cation radical states of novel TTF vinylogues with o-substituted phenyl groups at the vinyl positions are thermodynamically stable, and X-ray analyses of the cation radical salts have revealed the planar structures of the TTF vinylogue parts and unique crystal structures.
Calix[4]resorcinarenes are phenolic macrocyclic compounds, and readily available from resorcinols and aldehydes. We were interested in calix[4]resorcinarenes as highly functionalized core molecules for the rapid synthesis of dendrimers because of their ease of synthesis and because they are less affected by steric con…
The critical molecular structure change from columnar to lamellar mesophases in bis(diphenylglyoximato)nickel(ii)-based complexes has been investigated. When the number of the long chains surrounding the core complex part was reduced from eight to four, the mesophase changes its structure from columnar Colhd to novel…
Computational methods based on the density functional theory have been employed in the search for new ferromagnetic molecules and several compounds are predicted to exhibit stronger ferromagnetic coupling than the known hydroxo-bridged complexes, especially remarkable is the very strong coupling predicted for oxo-brid…
The molecular chaperone ClpX of Escherichia coli plays two distinct functions for bacteriophage Mu DNA replication by transposition. As specificity component of a chaperone-linked protease, it recognizes the Mu immunity repressor for degradation by the peptidase component ClpP, thus derepressing Mu transposition funct…
Conoscopic studies reveal that the nematic phase of 4,4-(p-terphenyl)-bis\[2,3,4-tri(dodecyloxy)benzal]imine is biaxial, the biaxial angle increasing with schlieren textures exhibited by the nematic phase have been between glass plates, as well as free-standing consisting entirely of s or 2-brush disclinations, confir…
Crystals of E. coli cytochrome b1, alias bacterioferritin, were grown fr om a low ionic strength solution. The resulting monoclniic P21 structure was solved by molecular replacement and refined using noncrystallographi c symmetries applied to the fundamental unit, consisting of two protein subunits and a single haem.…
Two new chromium(III)-containing complexes of formula AsPh4[Cr(bipy)(ox)2]·H2O 1 and [NaCr(bipy)(ox)2(H2O)]· 2H2O 2 (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine and ox = oxalate dianion) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 consists of discrete [Cr(bipy)(ox)2]– mononuclear anions,…
The analogy with the liquid-gas critical point is analyzed to clarify the nature of the pretransitional behavior of physical properties in the vicinity of the Blue-Phase-III--isotropic transition in chiral liquid crystalline systems. The analogy is unusual: temperature serves as the ordering field and entropy plays th…
The states and roles of vanadium of 11-molybdo-1-vanadophosphoric acid (H4PMo11VO40, PMo11V) catalyst in the partial oxidation of isobutane (2-methylpropane) were analysed by EPR, 51V and 31P NMR, IR spectroscopy, and redox titration, and compared with dodecamolybdophosphoric acid (H3PMo12O40, PMo12) catalyst. Thermal…
The effect of alkaline hydrolysis on several surface properties of poly(hydroxybutyrate-hydroxyvalerate) (92/8) (PHB/HV) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) films and of poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET) track-etched membranes have been characterized, as well as the adsorption of three proteins normally encountered b…
