The assignment of the vibrational spectra of lithium hydroxide monohydrate, LiOH·H(2)O, has been controversial for more than half-a-century. Here we show that only the combination of all three forms of vibrational spectroscopy: infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopies coupled with periodic-densi…

The use of small molecule drugs in cancer chemotherapy has mostly been limited by dose-dependent toxicity and development of drug resistance resulting from repeated administrations. To overcome such problems, efforts have been made to develop drug delivery systems that can bear multiple therapeutic agents in one syste…

In this work, a membrane-dispersion microstructured reactor was specially designed to prepare PB (pseudoboehmite) with a large pore volume and a large pore size through the reaction of CO 2 and an aqueous solution of NaAlO 2 . Tiny crystals of PB and a suitable template are necessary for generating large pore diameter…

Few‐layered sheets of graphene were synthesized on polycrystalline thin Co and Ni films by low pressure chemical vapor deposition. On average, thinner layers of graphene were synthesized on Co than on the conventional Ni at the same process conditions, but slightly higher defects were detected on Co‐grown graphene lay…

Abstract Poly(siloxane‐urethane) crosslinked structures were prepared from isophorone diisocyanate, α,ω‐bis(hydroxybutyl)oligodimethylsiloxane and a new hybrid diol containing hydrolysable SiOC2H5 groups besides OH groups. The latest was synthesized by the acid‐catalyzed reaction between 1,3‐bis(3‐glycidoxypropyl)tet…

The immobilization of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on silica is made possible by the functionalization of the silica surfaces with organosilanes. Au NPs could only be stabilized and firmly attached to silica-support surfaces that were previously modified with amino groups. Au NPs could not be stabilized on bare silica…

Scanning tunneling spectroscopic studies of $\mathrm{Ba}({\mathrm{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x}{)}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ ($x=0.06$, 0.12) single crystals reveal direct evidence for predominantly two-gap superconductivity. These gaps decrease with increasing temperature and vanish above the superconducting t…

The first use of 2-pyridylcyanoxime, (py)C(CN)NOH, in transition metal chemistry is described. Depending on the nature of the metal starting material and the reaction conditions employed, the Cu(II)/(py)C(CN)NOH system has provided access to complexes [Cu(3)O{(py)C(CN)NO}(3)(NO(3))(H(2)O)(2)(MeOH)] (1), [Cu(4)O{(py)C(…

Nitrogen doping of a graphite surface by ion bombardment has been found to enhance the durability of deposited Pt clusters for H 2 −D 2 exchange reaction. Scanning tunneling microscopy suggests that this high durability is originated from the stabilized monolayer morphology of the Pt clusters. From the comparison with…

Density functional theory has been used to investigate the mechanism of the activation and cleavage of CO 2 by the complexes (NHC)CuEPh 3 (E = Si, Ge, Sn). Our results show that both the Cu−E and E−C(Ph) bonds are capable of activating and cleaving CO 2 . The reactivity of the Cu−E bond toward CO 2 activation decrease…
