Synthesis of a new pentahydroxamic acid bifunctional chelating agent (BCA), constructed on the aminoazaalkyl core of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), is reported. Rational modifications in the structure of DTPA, which could result in an enhancement of its chelation properties, add to the collection of diagno…
We report force measurements in thin liquid films containing charged diblock copolymers (poly( tert -butylstyrene)−poly(styrenesulfonate)) adsorbed at the film surfaces. Although the film surfaces are likely to be covered by copolymer layers with a brush structure, the observed features, both film ordering and force r…
Control over the macromolecular structural characteristics of poly(phenylsilsesquioxane) resin materials was obtained by combining the effects of surfactant addition with dynamic pH modification in aqueous condensation media. Average molecular weight, polydispersity, and the degree of condensation in the resulting pol…
The bifunctional enzyme aspartokinase-homoserine dehydrogenase I from Escherichia coli catalyzes non-consecutive reactions in the aspartate pathway of amino acid biosynthesis. Both catalytic activities are subject to allosteric regulation by the end product amino acid L-threonine. To examine the kinetics and regulatio…
Energy transfer between Ru II and Os II polypyridyl complexes covalently attached to polystyrene has been in studied in CH 3 CN. The polymer is a 1:1 styrene- p -aminomethylstyrene copolymer derivatized by amide coupling with the acid-functionalized metal complexes [M II (bpy) 2 (bpy-COOH)](PF 6 ) 2 (M II = Ru II, Os…
The direct channeling of an intermediate between enzymes that catalyze consecutive reactions in a pathway offers the possibility of an efficient, exclusive, and protected means of metabolite delivery. Aspartokinase-homoserine dehydrogenase I (AK-HDH I) from Escherichia coli is an unusual bifunctional enzyme in that it…
Monte Carlo simulations have been applied to investigate the behavior of thin polymeric films near the glass transition. Free-standing films of both linear and cyclic polymeric chains have been considered in this work. In agreement with experiments, we find that the apparent glass transition temperature of free-standi…
In this contribution we present a continuous wave (CW), pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and pulse electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) study of (OEC)Co(C 6 H 5 ), where OEC is the trianion of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylcorrole. To facilitate spectral assignments isotopic substitutions were employed…
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and spatially resolved electron loss spectroscopy have revealed that a eutectic mixture of AgCl and AgI crystallizes within single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as metastable AgCl(1-)(x)I(x) 1D solid solution crystals. The incorporated halide crystals form wurzite "tu…
Polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF)/poly(1,3-dioxepane) (PDOP)/polystyrene (PSt) ABC miktoarm star copolymers were synthesized by combination of cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization. Two different functional groups, carboxylic acid and CHBr, were capped at one end of PTHF through…
Metal ion sorption can be significantly impacted by the presence of other solutes or complexing species. In this research, macroscopic sorption studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of strongly sorbing Se(IV) and weakly sorbing Se(VI) oxyanions on cobalt(II) sorption to gamma-Al2O3. Se(IV) was found to signifi…
The structure and structural transition of silk fibroin from a wild silkworm Antheraea pernyi ( A. pernyi ), whose amino acid sequence consists of poly( l -alanine) (PLA) and a Gly-rich region, were studied with solid-state 13 C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR. As such, there has been limited info…
We have performed a lattice dynamics calculation to compute the "inherent structures" of minimum potential energy for pentacene, starting from available X-ray data. The calculation shows that two distinct bulk crystalline phases of pentacene exist, with very subtle structural differences but clearly different phonon s…
A new synthetic method to give wholly alicyclic polyimides with high molecular weights has been developed. The polymerization of cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride ( 1a ) or bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-methanecarboxylic-3,5,6-tricarboxylic-2,3:5,6-dianhydride ( 1b ) with various N-silylated alicyclic diamines ( 2 ) wa…
In this paper, two novel methods of preparing CdS nanoparticles within the corona of block copolymer micelles are presented. (1) Corona-embedded CdS nanoparticles were prepared by dropping core-embedded CdS nanoparticles into water with a low pH value. The location change of the CdS nanoparticles was accompanied by a…
The adsorption of CO on a reduced 1% Ir/Al 2 O 3 catalyst has been studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) at two constant CO partial pressures P a (200 and 2000 Pa) in the adsorption temperature (denoted by T a ) range of 300−740 K. At 300 K, it is observed a strong IR band at 2044 cm -1 ascri…
Hybrid block copolymers amylose-block-polystyrene were synthesized by covalent attachment of maltoheptaose derivatives to end-functionalized polystyrene and subsequent enzymatic grafting from polymerization. The maltoheptaose derivatives were attached by reductive amination or hydrosilation to amino- or SiH-terminated…
Ordered ferromagnetic−nonmagnetic alloy (Co−Cu, Co−Ag and Fe−Ag) nanowire arrays embedded in the nanochannels of anodic aluminum membranes (AAM) have been fabricated by electrodeposition. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations reveal that these alloy nanowires are uniform in dia…
It is crucial in metal particle catalysis to know the true number of catalytically active surface sites; without this knowledge it is impossible (i) to know the true turnover frequency (TOF, i.e., the moles of product/(moles of active metal atoms x time)); (ii) to know for certain whether a (quantitatively) better cat…
The thermal spin transition between a high-spin state ( S = 5/2) and an intermediate-spin state ( S = 3/2) of the octhahedrally coordinated Mn(II)(3d 5 ) was observed in Rb(I)Mn(II)[Fe(III)(CN) 6 ] with a very wide hysteresis loop over the temperature range of 231 to 304 K. This phenomenon is accompanied by a structur…
