The salicylhydrazone of anthranilhydrazide (H2L) reacted with MoO2(acac)2 in refluxing alcohols to yield compounds of the general formula MoO2L(ROH) (where R = CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, n-C4H9). The complex MoO2L(C2H5OH) is found to undergo facile reaction with heterocyclic bases to form MoO2L(Q)-type complexes where Q = pyr…
This concept paper outlines the design of the first pi-conjugated organic polymer with magnetic ordering. This rational, "bottom-up" macromolecular design is based on synthesis and study of polyarylmethyl polyradicals with increasing number of exchange-coupled unpaired electron spins. The prospects for attaining organ…
A cyclic complex [Ni(12)(chp)(12)(O(2)CMe)(12)(thf)(6)(H(2)O)(6)] (1) has been synthesised and studied (chp=6-chloro-2-pyridonate). Complex 1 exhibits ferromagnetic exchange between the S=1 centres, giving an S=12 spin ground state. Detailed studies demonstrate that it is a single-molecule magnet with an energy barrie…
Three groups of singlet ground state [TCNE](2) (2-) (TCNE=tetracyanoethylene) dimers with characteristic intradimer CC separations (r) and dihedral angles (d) [i.e., group S(t) (r approximately 1.6 A; d=180 degrees ), L(t) (r approximately 3.5 A; d=180 degrees ), and L(c) (r approximately 2.9 A; d= approximately 0 deg…
We describe a technique for connecting a nanometer-scale gold grain to leads by atomic-scale gold point contacts. These devices differ from previous metallic quantum dots in that the conducting channels are relatively well-transmitting. We investigate the dependence of the Coulomb blockade on contact resistance. The h…
Diffraction line broadening observed for the biological apatite is ascribed to small crystallite dimensions and lattice imperfections. However, it is rather difficult to separate the individual contribution of each factor. Therefore in numerous works a total inverse width of a diffraction peak is only used as a size/s…
The properties of phase-separated systems, e.g. manganites, close to a I order phase transition between charge-ordered insulator and ferromagnetic metal, are usually described by the percolation picture. We argue that the correlated occupation of metallic sites leads to the preferential formation of larger metallic cl…
We study the contour (or contact) line of a large water puddle floating on an organic liquid substrate. The line tension 𝒯 is a two-dimensional analogue of surface tension. We manipulate the line through a vertical metallic rod. (i) When stretched by a horizontal force f, the line makes a kink characterized by an angl…
The Vilsmeier reaction is one of the important reactions in the organic photoconductor industry, and quantitative information of thermal hazards of the reaction is needed for process control and safety. In this report, the thermal hazards of Vilsmeier reaction are investigated, and heats of reaction are measured using…
The photoinitiated bulk polymerization of liquid crystalline thiolene monomers based on a phenyl benzoate core was investigated and the structure of the corresponding polymers analyzed. We show that polymerization occurs substantially in bulk, and can be initiated on demand by UV-irradiation. The liquid crystalline th…
Two methods are presented and exemplified for the characterization of self-organizing microporous polymer film surfaces via optical microscopy/image analysis. The first concerns the distribution of the pore diameters as measured by applying the Gini coefficient, which gives quantification to the degree of irregularity…
The synthesis and characterization of various thiophene-based bent-rod liquid crystals are reported, and the effects of varying lateral dipole and core desymmetrization upon mesophase behavior are described. Incorporation of desymmetrized core 7 into the molecular framework was found to have very different consequence…
Parallel three-helix bundle metalloproteins incorporating C-terminal thiol groups have been designed to orient vertically on a gold(111) surface. A small area of pre-assembled octadecanethiol was exchanged with the proteins under the action of an AFM tip. The resulting “nanografted” metalloprotein was imaged at low ap…
Methyl esters 2, 3, and 5 of corallistins B, C, and E, respectively, isolated from the Coral Sea demosponge Corallistes sp., were successfully synthesized by the MacDonald method (for corallistin B ester) and via a,c-biladiene cyclization (for corallistins C and E esters). In order to compare with the 1 H-NMR data rep…
The synergistic effect due to the application of ultrasound on the photocatalytic degradation of phenol and chlorophenols was demonstrated in the presence of Hombikat TiO 2 suspensions in our sonophotocatalytic reactor. A noticeable enhancement of the reaction rate was found when ultrasound was combined with the photo…
Aging of solutions of chitosan varying in degree of acetylation (DA) and degree of dissociation (alpha) was studied using two techniques. The first concerned potentiometric experiments performed during 3 days on solutions having the same concentration of amino groups (5.2% < DA < 70.6% and 0 < alpha < 1.1). The presen…
Intermolecular carbon nanotube junctions were formed through amide linkage of amino functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes and [Ru (dcbpy)(bpy)2](PF6)2, an inorganic metal complex. Nanotube interconnects were visualized using atomic force microscopy. Absorption and emission spectroscopy showed significant changes b…
Uniform and small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been produced using identical molecular nanoclusters containing Fe and Mo atoms with a defined molecular formula and a specific structure as catalysts in a chemical vapor deposition method. The average diameter of the SWNTs produced in these experi…
Heterocyclic unit 2 containing complementary donor-donor-acceptor (DDA) and acceptor-acceptor-donor (AAD) hydrogen bonding arrays at an angle of about 60 degrees was designed to self-assemble into a hexamer. To investigate whether this unit could self-assemble dendrimers, the 2,8-diamino-2-N-ethylpyrimido-(4,5-b)(1,8)…
Porous alumina membranes are commercially available and have been widely used in recent nanoscale research, for example, as templates in nanowire fabrication through electrodeposition. In this report, we present a new use for porous alumina membranes in the fabrication of alumina nanotubes/nanowires desired in electro…
