We describe a practical synthesis of octaalkoxycarbonyl phthalocyanines that are well soluble in various organic solvents and form liquid crystalline columnar mesophases at room temperature. The ground-state geometry, HOMO/LUMO energies, vertical transition energies and the corresponding oscillator strengths have been…
The efficacy of many drugs is improved by liposomal formulations. The greatest improvements in therapeutic benefits are achieved if the drug is retained in the liposomes for several hours after administration. Many basic drugs can be concentrated efficiently into liposomes in response to a transmembrane pH gradient. H…
Regular dendrit-like metal nanoparticles and core-shell nanoparticles were formed by the reduction of mixtures of tetrachloroaurate and silver nitrate solutions with ascorbic acid at room temperature in two- and three-step procedures. The formation of these particles was found in batch experiments as well as in micro…
Sensitive and reliable monitoring of kinase activity was reported by using highly efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer of conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) to a rhodamine labelled peptide substrate.
X-Ray absorption spectra show that a CeO(2)-supported CO oxidation catalyst prepared from Au(III)(CH(3))(2)(C(5)H(7)O(2)) initially incorporated Au(III) complexes that were catalytically active at 353 K; during operation in a flow reactor, the gold aggregated into clusters and the catalytic activity increased.
A series of oligomeric and dendritic liquid crystalline materials combining mesogenic bent-core units and silicon-containing linking units (siloxanes and carbosilanes) was synthesized and investigated. The influence of the size and shape of the silyl units upon the mesophase type and the switching behaviour was invest…
The effects of N-halosuccinimide and halogen addition to monolayer protected gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) dispersed in organic media are described. Contrary to the expectation that nanoparticles dispersed in organic media are stable against aggregation, N-iodosuccinimide addition induced aggregation of octadecylamine c…
Oxidation of ammonium on polycrystalline Pt has been studied in perchloric and sulfuric acid solutions at room temperature. Ammonium was electrochemically active, and and NO were detected using differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance data showe…
Recent advances in the process of using single layers of diblock copolymer micelles for the fabrication of arrays of nanoparticles were highlighted. The technique using a monolayer of diblock copolymer micelles as an effective nanostructured template allowed precise control over the type, size, location, and ordering…
A three-dimensional homometallic complex [Co(5)(mu(3)-OH)(2)(btec)(2)(bpp)](n) is built from the mixed hydroxide/carboxylate bridged cobalt(ii) chains linked by the 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate (btec(4-)) anion and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)-propane molecule (bpp). Within each chain, two mu(3)-OH-bridged metal triangles co…
SummaryCurrent clinical therapies for traumatic or chronic injuries involving osteochondral tissue result in temporary pain reduction and filling of the defect but with biomechanically inferior repair tissue. Tissue engineering of osteochondral repair tissue using autologous cells and bioactive biomaterials has the po…
A bulk Cu-Zn alloy was multi-directionally forged at 77 K and 300 K to a cumulative strain of ΣΔε=6.0. With increasing strain, the initial grains subdivided gradually to ultrafine grains. Mechanical twins enhanced the grain fragmentation. The formed twins were further subdivided by the other variants of twins. The gra…
We demonstrate broadband optical amplification at 1.3 mum in silicate glass-ceramics containing beta-Ga(2)O(3):Ni(2)+ nanocrystals with 980 nm excitation for the first time. The optical gain efficiency is calculated to be about 0.283 cm(-1) when the excitation power is 1.12 W. The optical gain shows similar wavelength…
Diatoms are good environmental indicators and are often the main component of phytobenthos, one of the key groups of organisms recommended by the Water Framework Directive (W.F.D.) for the assessment of ecological status of surface waters. Although diatoms are regularly used as indicators in rivers and in lakes, less…
This paper describes concentrated discharges on polluted insulators in the laboratory and in the field. The authors have observed the concentrated discharges at the high-voltage laboratories in Stuttgart, Zittau, and Mannheim, Germany, and Wroclaw, Poland. The concentrated discharges were also documented under natural…
Nonaqueous solution routes to metal oxide nanoparticles are a valuable alternative to the well-known aqueous sol-gel processes, offering advantages such as high crystallinity at low temperatures, robust synthesis parameters and avoidance of surfactants in order to control the crystal growth. In the first part of this…
Abstract Molecular systems containing two or more interacting porphyrins show remarkable spectroscopic features that allow for a very sensitive detection of conformational changes on the microscale level by different methods, such as fluorescence and electronic circular dichroism (ECD). Covalent porphyrin-DNA assembli…
A(2)B(2)-type push-pull porphyrins with a strong intramolecular dipole moment have been prepared via Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions as novel materials for use in nonlinear optics (NLO); they display saturable (SA) and reverse saturable absorption (RSA) properties at 532 nm and their nonlinear optical response is c…
The synthesis of new [1,3,4]-oxadiazole-based mesogens with nematic phase behaviour at low temperature is described, and their characterisation by OPM, DSC and XRD is reported.
Widely tunable display pixels are reported. The pixel consists of a subwavelength silicon-nitride/air membrane containing complementary fixed and mobile gratings. By altering the device refractive index profile and symmetry, using MEMS actuation methods, wavelength tuning across ~100 nm per pixel in the visible spectr…
