In the evolution toward a “carbon-neutral” energy economy, among the most promising solutions for replacing today’s greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting vehicles is the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. In the pathway toward a future infrastructure based on renewable energy sources, a medium-term step would rely on the u…

It is generally assumed that the phase diagrams and equilibrium thermodynamic data that apply to the conventional Fe-C system, also are relevant to the case where supersaturated ferrite is in contact with austenite. It seems that this may not be correct, since a change in the symmetry of the ferrite unit cell in the p…

The trapping process in polymer systems constitutes a fundamental mechanism for various other dynamical processes taking place in these systems. In this paper, we study the trapping problem in two representative polymer networks, Cayley trees and Vicsek fractals, which separately model dendrimers and regular hyperbran…

Gas-phase intra-molecular crosslinking of protein ubiquitin cations has been demonstrated via ion/ion reactions with anions of a homobifunctional N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS) ester reagent. The ion/ion reaction between multiply-protonated ubiquitin and crosslinker monoanions produces a stable, charge-reduced…

The high proportion of adsorbed monovalent cations in soils in relation to divalent cations affects soil structural stability in salt-affected soils. Cationic effects on soil structure depend on the ionic strength of the soil solution. The relationships between CROSS (cation ratio of soil structural stability) and the…

In this paper, a new synthetic way to modify naphthalene diimide (NDI) at "shoulder" positions is reported. The key step of the transformation is the intramolecular cyclization involving ethynyl and imidecarbonyl groups. The structure of the intermediate pyrylium cation was confirmed by X-ray crystal structural analys…

Intermediates during the anionic polymerization of styrene were observed using hyperpolarized NMR. Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) of monomers provides a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio for detection of (13)C NMR signals in real time as the reaction progresses. Because of its large chemical shift dispe…
