The aerobic reaction of the Schiff-base ligand N-(benzimidazol-2-yl)salicylaldimine (Hbisi) with iron(II) perchlorate in methanol leads to the formation of the remarkable coordination compound [Fe(4)(mu(4)-O)(mu-MeO)(4)(bisi)(4)](ClO(4))(2) x 4 MeOH (1), whose single-crystal X-ray structure reveals the presence of a d…
Electrospinning was used for the first time to prepare nanofibers of the host/guest complex between poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and thiourea. It is shown by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) that the stoichiometry of the complex is (EO)(12)-(thiourea)(8), settling a series…
Orthorhombic tadpole-shaped AgInSe 2 nanocrystals have been synthesized from the single molecular precursor [(PPh 3 ) 2 AgIn(SeC{O}Ph) 4 ]. Reaction parameters such as temperature, surfactant concentration, and heating duration have been optimized to get monodispersed AgInSe 2 nanotadpoles. Severe stacking faults were…
CO oxidation is a very useful reference reaction in catalysis by nanoparticles (NPs). Two reaction models—an association mechanism (AM) and a carbonate-mediated mechanism (CMM)—have been suggested for CO oxidation catalyzed by small NPs. It is still unclear, however, when and why these mechanisms preferentially operat…
In this paper, the main parameters, which dictate the supracrystalline structure of silver nanocrystals self-assembled at the micrometer scale, are evidenced. They are the alkyl-chain length, the deposition temperature, the concentration of the colloidal solution and the nature of the substrate. By varying the deposit…
Several cobalt-chromium alloys such as MP35N are used for biomedical implants. The electrochemical behavior of these alloys in the passive range differs from that of other biomedical alloys. In particular, their cyclic potentiodynamic polarization curves exhibit an increase in current at a potential of about 0.4 V (SC…
Abstract ZnO‐based nano‐ and micro‐structures with controlled orientation, size, and lateral density were grown by specially designed two‐step pulsed laser deposition and direct carbothermal growth, respectively. Different substrate orientations and nucleation layers allow well‐defined tuning of growth direction and l…
A new hybrid piezoelectric composite (HPZC) reinforced with zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and piezoelectric fibers is proposed. The novel constructional feature of this composite is that the uniformly aligned CNTs are radially grown on the surface of piezoelectric fibers. A micromechanics model is deriv…
We report a simple one-pot route to fabricate PbSe hollow single-crystalline nanoboxes with the presence of trioctylphosphine as the structure-directing agent and stabilizer. Various controlling parameters were examined, such as trioctylphosphine amounts, reaction temperature, reaction time, and lead(II) precursors. O…
The CeO2 nanorods (CeNR) promote the oxidation of ethylbenzene (PhEt) and cyclohexene with t-BuOOH, at temperatures as low as 55 degrees C. For both substrates the saturated C-H bonds are preferentially activated over the unsaturated ones. The catalyst seems fairly stable towards leaching phenomena. The liquid-phase o…
Using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, we studied the electronic levels of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) with small spin-orbit coupling such as CdS. Low temperature radiative lifetimes indicate that the lowest-energy transition changes from orbital allowed to orbital forbidden with decreasing NC size.…
PbS quantum dots (QDs) are functionalized using ionic liquids with thiol moieties as capping ligands. The resulting amphiphilic QD ionic liquids exhibit fluidlike behavior at room temperature, even in the absence of solvents. The photostability of the QDs is dramatically improved compared to the as-synthesized oleic a…
The activation of N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexane-diamino Co(II), [Co(II)(1)], by the addition of acetic acid under aerobic conditions has been investigated by a range of spectroscopic techniques including continuous-wave EPR, HYSCORE, pulsed ENDOR, and resonance Raman. These measurements have…
Dynamic light scattering was used to study the dynamic structure factor, S(q,t), of suspensions of charged colloidal silica spheres over the full colloidal time range. We show that a dynamic scaling relation for S(q,t) found by Segrè and Pusey [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 771 (1996)10.1103/PhysRevLett.77.771] for hard sphere…
Shape memory properties have been utilized to promote hydrogen bonding interactions at the interface between two rigid polymers. This leads to the creation of a reversible solid-based adhesive system with adhesive strength comparable to that of conventional liquid adhesives.
We report superconductivity in single crystals of the new iron-pnictide system BaFe(1.90)Pt(0.10)As(2) grown by a self-flux solution method and characterized via x-ray, transport, magnetic and thermodynamic measurements. The magnetic ordering associated with a structural transition at 139 K present in BaFe(2)As(2) is…
The dinuclear peroxotungstate with a SeO(4)(2-) ligand, (TBA)(2)[SeO(4){WO(O(2))(2)}(2)] (I; TBA = [(n-C(4)H(9))(4)N](+)), could act as an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various kinds of organic substances such as olefins, alcohols, and amines with H(2)O(2) as the sole oxidant. The turno…
Luminescent colloidal nanosystems based on europium-doped biomimetic apatite were prepared and investigated. The colloids were synthesized by soft chemistry in the presence of a phospholipid moiety, 2-aminoethylphosphoric acid (AEP), with varying europium doping rates. Physicochemical features, including compositional…
The unique optical properties of squaraines render these molecules useful for applications that range from xerography to photodynamic therapy. In this regard, squaraines derived from the condensation of nitrogen-based heterocycles and squaric acid have many promising attributes. Key solution-phase photophysical proper…
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) repress target genes at the post-transcriptional level, and function in the development and cell-lineage pathways of host species. Tissue-specific expression of miRNAs is highly relevant to their physiological roles in the corresponding tissues. However, to date, few miRNAs have been spa…
