The sequential bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for M + (NH 3 ) x ( x = 1−4) for M = Ti−Cu are determined by examining the collision-induced dissociation reactions with xenon in a guided ion beam mass spectrometer. In the cases of Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, the BDE for the second ammonia molecule is determined to be greater…
The widely investigated organic substance o -terphenyl (OTP) displays thermal and kinetic behavior prototypical for “fragile” glass formers. The special relationship between its heat capacity in supercooled liquid, amorphous glass, and crystalline solid states provides simple access to the enumerating distribution fun…
A hybrid electrochemical/chemical (E/C) synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and films is described. The E/C procedure involves two steps: Zinc metal was first electrochemically deposited at basal-plane oriented graphite electrode surfaces from dilute aqueous solutions; then this deposit was permitted to sponta…
DFT calculations on a series of oligomers have been used to estimate band gaps, ionization potentials, electron affinities, and bandwidths for polyacetylene, polythiophene, polypyrrole, polythiazole, and a thiophene−thiazole copolymer. Using a slightly modified hybrid functional, we obtain band gaps within 0.1 eV of e…
The LMTO method based on the density-functional theory and the semi-empirical INDO method based on the Hartree--Fock formalism are used for the supercell study of the F centers in cubic and orthorhombic ferroelectric KNbO3 crystals. Two electrons are found to be considerably delocalized even in the ground state of the…
The ternary azo dye/water/methanol systems were investigated by polarized microscopic and small-angle neutron scattering methods. The formation and structures of supramolecular self-assemblies were discussed in relation to methanol content in isotropic and anisotropic systems. Stripelike assemblies and their piles wer…
Competition between polaron and bipolaron inconjugated polymers with nondegenerate ground state is systematically studied in the extended Hubbard-Peierls model with the symmetry-breaking Brazovskii-Kirova term, using the density matrix renormalization group method combined with lattice optimization in the adiabatic ap…
Ab initio multi-reference configuration interaction calculations are performed for the Si(100) surface using a cluster approach. The convergence with respect to the cluster size is checked and the final results are taken from a $Si_{32} H_{28}$ cluster which models two dimers and six bulk layers. We find for the ideal…
With the aim to get an insight in the origin of differences in the earlier reported calculation results for KNbO3 and to test the recently proposed implementation of the FP-LMTO method by Methfessel and van Schilfgaarde, we perform a comparative study of the ferroelectric instability in KNbO3 by FP-LMTO and LAPW metho…
A revised Marko-Siggia elastic model for DNA double helix [Macromolecules 27, 981 (1994)] is proposed, which includes the WLC bending energy and a new chiral twisting energy term. It is predicted that the mean helical repeat length (HRL) for short DNA rings increases with the decreasing of chain length; while for very…

Tetrameric ruthenium(II) porphyrin complexes, [Ru(4-PyP 3 P)(CO)] 4, 1, [Ru(4-PyT 3 P)(CO)] 4, 2, and [Ru(4-PyT 3 P)(Py)] 4, 3, (4-PyP 3 P = 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrinato dianion, 4-PyT 3 P = 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-tritolylporphyrinato dianion), were self-assembled and were characterized by 1 H NMR, IR,…
The electronic and electrochemical properties of a carbon monoxide−FeTMPP adduct (FeTMPP = (5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-methoxyphenyl]-21 H,23 H -porphine)iron(II)) adsorbed on Black Pearls (BP) high-area carbon have been examined in situ in 0.05 M H 2 SO 4 by Fe K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES). This add…
The use of nitrones as ligands was explored by preparing and characterizing complexes of N - tert -butyl-α-(2-pyridyl)nitrone (2-PyBN) and 2,5,5-trimethyl-1-pyrroline- N -oxide (M 3 PO) with Cu(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II), and Fe(III) hexafluoroacetylacetonates (hfac). Neutral Cu(2-PyBN)(hfac) 2, 1, was formed…
An attempt is made to draw conclusions on the binding situation and the electronic state of nickel in the hexagonal perovskite BaNiO 3 characterized by chain units of face sharing NiO 6 octahedra by means of XPS, IR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy and susceptibility measurements. Although the results of Mössbauer measurem…
The angular dependence of the magnetic properties of all known octahedrally coordinated oxo-bridged dimers with trivalent 3d transition metals are interpreted in terms of the most simple concepts. These concepts are based on a combination of kinetic exchange and the chemically intuitive angular overlap model. The use…

The osmium tetroxide-mediated dihydroxylation of meso -tetraphenylporphyrin leads to the formation of the vic -diol meso -tetraphenyl-2,3- vic -diol-2,3-chlorin. The corresponding Ni(II) complex was converted by lead tetraacetate into ( meso -tetraphenyl-2,3-secochlorinato-2,3-dialdehyde)nickel(II). This novel pigment…
Geometries and force-fields of the low-lying spin states of iron(II) porphine are calulated with nonlocal density functional methods. The ground state is identified as the 3 A 2g state. It is shown that the Fe atom is in the porphine plane for all spin states, but that the high-spin state potential surface intersects…
The Pyrococcus furiosus (PF) ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTCase; EC 2.1.3.3) is an extremely heat-stable enzyme that maintains about 50% of its activity after heat treatment for 60 min at 100 degrees C. To understand the molecular basis of thermostability of this enzyme, we have determined its three-dimensional st…
