Abstract When soluble zinc salts are hydrolyzed in water, usually elongated micrometer‐sized zincite crystals are formed. In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in a methanolic solution is used as an agent to control the morphology of the deposition product. It prevents crystal growth and yields zinc oxide nanocrys…
This paper reports the synthesis of Au nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes on fused quartz substrates by e-beam evaporation followed by thermal annealing. UV–visible absorption measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies have been carried out on the as-deposited and the annealed samples. While as-deposit…
Abstract Trifunctional organosilane‐modified clay was synthesized and used to prepare waterborne trifunctionalsilane‐terminated polyurethane (WSPU)/clay nanocomposite dispersions in this study. Qualitative evidence of the presence of chemically attached silane molecules on clay were confirmed by Fourier transform infr…
Some physicochemical properties of calfskin pepsin-solubilized collagen (PSC) and succinylated PSC (SPSC) were compared. The amino acid profile remained significantly unchanged. Sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that subunits of SPSC migrated less than those of PSC. The denaturation temp…
Here, we report on a facile method for the preparation of an aqueous dispersion of 3.6 nm gold nanoparticles electrostatically stabilized by a weakly physisorbed ligand, namely, 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP). The nature and extent of the interaction of this ligand with the surface of a gold nanoparticle has been ex…
Macromolecular crystallography is the study of macromolecules (proteins and nucleic acids) using X-ray crystallographic techniques in order to determine their molecular structure. The knowledge of accurate molecular structures is a pre-requisite for rational drug design, and for structure-based function studies to aid…
Templated mesoporous carbons designed around the pyridine functionality have been made using the cyclotrimerization of a variety of diethynylpyridines. The substitution pattern of the ethynyl moieties about the pyridine ring system was found to have a significant impact on the structure and properties of the final pro…
This work demonstrates for the first time that aurophilicity and ligand pi-acceptance ability sensitize the photoreactivity of Au(I) complexes. Photolysis of LAu(I)Cl (L = RNC or CO) complexes leads to free L, Au(III), and Au(0) photoproducts. Solutions of (p-tosyl)CH(2)NCAuCl in dichloromethane undergo significant ol…
Ab initio spin-flip configuration interaction (SF-CI) methods with the finite-field (FF) scheme are applied to the calculation of static second hyperpolarizabilities (γ) of several singlet diradical systems, i.e., the model H2 molecule under dissociation, p-quinodimethane, o-quinoid five-membered ring, and 1,4-bis(imi…
The electronic structures of nickel and cobalt centers coordinated by two alpha-iminoketone ligands have been elucidated using density functional theory calculations and a host of physical methods such as X-ray crystallography, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and…
The in vitro hydrolytic degradation of hydroxyl-functionalized poly(alpha-hydroxy acid)s was investigated. Benzyl-ether-protected hydroxyl-functionalized dilactones (S)-3-benzyloxymethyl-(S)-6-methyl-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione (1a) and (S)-3-benzyloxymethyl-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione (1b) were copolymerized in a melt with vario…
Three urea-based aromatics 1-3, each with distinct steric and electronic characteristics, have been synthesized and their ability to undergo hierarchical assembly and gel organic solvents investigated. We have found that compound 1 promotes the sol-gel phase transition in primary alcohols (from CH3OH to C10H21OH; CGC…
Artificial pinning centres in YBCO thin films induced by substrate decoration with gas-phase-prepared Y2O3 nanoparticles, Sparing, M, Backen, E, Freudenberg, T, Hühne, R, Rellinghaus, B, Schultz, L, Holzapfel, B
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled polyoxymethylene (POM) composites were fabricated in order to form conducting pathways at a low CNT loading. It was found that addition of CNTs would lead to a drastic degradation of POM in the melt−mixing process. The effects of CNTs on the processing stability of POM were investigated…
TEM specimens of a LaAlO(3)/SrTiO(3) multilayer are prepared by FIB with internal lift out. Using a Ga(+1) beam of 5 kV, a final cleaning step yielding top, top-angle, side, and bottom-angle cleaning is performed. Different cleaning procedures, which can be easily implemented in a dual beam FIB system, are described a…
The selective synthesis of tri- and dichlorotitanium species containing chiral tridentate Schiff base ligands, derived from (1R,2S)-(-)-1-aminoindanol, was achieved by changing the solvent. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that chlorotitanium complexes are monomeric and octahedral with the meridional occupation of…
ABn-type monomers have been widely used for the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers. These monomers, however, suffer from the problems associated with the tendency of their mutually reactive A and B functional groups toward self-oligomerization. We have explored the possibility of synthesizing hyperbranched polymers u…
The H2 permeation of a supported 2 microm thick Pd48Cu52 membrane was investigated between 373 and 909 K at DeltaP=0.1 MPa. The initial H2 flux was 0.3 mol.m(-2).s(-1) at 723 K with an ideal H2/N2 selectivity better than 5000. The membrane underwent a bcc-fcc (body-centered cubic to face-centered cubic) phase transiti…
In the present contribution, electrospinning (e-spinning) was used to fabricate ultra-fine fibers of silk fibroin (SF) from cocoons of indigenous Thai silkworms (Nang-Lai) and Chinese/Japanese hybrid silkworms (DOAE-7). The effects of solution concentration (i.e., 10-40% (w/v) in 85% (v/v) formic acid) and applied ele…
The surface structure of porous silicon used in desorption/ionization on porous silicon (DIOS) mass analysis is known to play a primary role in the desorption/ionization (D/I) process. In this study, mass spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to examine the correlation between intact ion generat…
