The proximity of two or more porphyrin or chlorin-like structures has been shown to be crucial in numerous biological processes, such as electron transfers. The one-pot electrochemical synthesis of a dimeric tetraphenylporphyrin with one 1,2-(diphenylphosphonium)benzene as a spacer and of its porphyrin-monomer precurs…
We report on a class of icosahedral aluminum--transition-metal (Al-TM) alloys with true semiconducting behavior. Our description of the structure of these icosahedral quasicrystals is based on the six-dimensional Katz-Gratias-Boudard (KGB) model of the face-centered-icosahedral (fci) quasicrystal and its rational appr…

CO-induced changes in the metal/metaloxide interaction of MgO(100)-supported palladium, silver, platinum, and gold in the form of atoms and layers have been investigated within the density functional theory. CO is found to modify the metal/MgO(100) interaction for atoms and one-atom-thick layers. Generally, the bond s…
X-ray anomalous diffraction, together with a band-structure calculation, was employed to obtain a quantitative understanding of the charge-ordering state in a single-crystalline CaFeO3 thin film. The experimental result shows a characteristic energy dispersion of the nearly inhibited reflection at 150 K, implying Fe a…
A set of chlorin-chlorin and oxochlorin-oxochlorin dyads has been prepared with components in the same or different metalation states. In each case a 4,4'-diphenylethyne linker spans the respective 10-position of each macrocycle. The dyads have been studied using static and time-resolved absorption and emission spectr…
We studied the cutting performance of diamond-coated cemented carbide cutting tools pretreated using acid etching, Murakami reagent etching, interlayer addition, and boronization techniques. The Rockwell indentation test indicates that the best adhesion is obtained from the diamond-coated cutting tool pretreated using…
Films of nanocrystals such as Au, Ag and Pd, semiconducting sulphides such as CdS, ZnS and CoS, and oxides such as Fe2O3 and CuO have been prepared by employing reactions at liquid liquid (organic-aqueous) interfaces. In this method, a suitable organic derivative of the metal taken in the organic layer reacts at the i…
Most of the porphyrin-recognition chemistry we have investigated previously has centred on kinetically labile metal-ligand interactions, such as Z-N and Ru-N. Our interest in the broader scope of molecular recognition required a metal with the ability to specifically recognise non-nitrogen-based ligands, with a signif…
We simulate directional solidification using a phase-field model solved with adaptive mesh refinement. For small surface tension anisotropy directed at 45 degrees relative to the pulling direction we observe a crossover from a seaweed to a dendritic morphology as the thermal gradient is lowered, consistent with recent…
We investigate parameters associated with optical data storage in a variety of amorphous side-chain azobenzene-containing polyesters denoted as E1aX. The polyesters possess a common cyano-substituted azobenzene chromophore as a side chain, but differ in their main-chain polyester composition. Seventeen different polym…
Recent mode coupling theory (MCT) calculations show that if a short-range attractive interaction is added to the pure hard sphere system, one may observe a new type of glass originating from the clustering effect (the attractive glass) as a result of the attractive interaction. This is in addition to the known glass-f…
The 1,3(R):2,4(S)-dibenzylidene-D-sorbitol (DBS) molecule is a low molar mass organic gelator (LMOG) that is capable of hydrogen-bonding with itself. As a consequence, DBS molecules self-organize into nanofibrillar networks at relatively low concentrations in a wide variety of organic solvents and polymers. In this wo…
Large tetragonal hen egg-white (HEW) lysozyme crystals have been grown by a salt concentration-gradient method. The grown crystals, of thicknesses greater than 1.5 mm, were observed by means of X-ray topography using white-beam synchrotron radiation. Line contrasts clearly appeared on the Laue topographs. Extinction o…
Contrasts between beta relaxation in equilibrium viscous liquids and glasses are rationalized in terms of a double-well potential model with structure-dependent asymmetry, assuming structure is described by a single order parameter. The model is tested for tripropylene glycol where it accounts for the hysteresis of th…
Nanosize MCM-48 with relatively uniform size (ca. 120−150 nm) and shape (faceted octahedral) was synthesized in a mixed cationic−nonionic surfactant system. This material can retain its cubic structure even after calcination at 1000 °C in air for 2 h.
Trimeric perfluoro-ortho-phenylenemercury (1) constitutes one of the simplest trifunctional Lewis acidic hosts. In addition to cooperative effects arising from the proximity of the mercury(II) centers, the electron-withdrawing properties of the backbone and the accessibility of the electrophilic sites lead to the faci…
This study presents chemical syntheses and physical characterization of a new aliphatic poly(L-lactide-b-butylene succinate-b-L-lactide) triblock copolyester with soft and hard biodegradable building blocks. First, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) prepolymers terminated with hydroxyl functional groups were synthesized t…
The photochromic behavior of 2,2-di(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methoxy-2H-1-chromene has been investigated by 19F NMR spectroscopy. Photocoloration under UV irradiation at low temperature led to the formation of three interconverting photoisomers including two merocyanines and an unprecedented allenyl-phenol isomer. Photobleac…
Control over the interchromophore separation, their angular relationship, and the spatial overlap of their electronic clouds in several ZnP-C(60) dyads (ZnP=zinc porphyrin) is used to modulate the rates of intramolecular electron transfer. For the first time, a detailed analysis of the charge transfer absorption and e…
