The mixed ligand complex [Ni(CMA)2(im)2(MeOH)2] (where CMA = 9,10-dihydro-9-oxo-10-acridineacetate ion, im = imidazole) was prepared, and its crystal and molecular structure were determined. The nickel ions are hexa-coordinated by four oxygen atoms of the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups and by two imidazole nitrogen a…
In Staphylococcus aureus, the transport of dicarboxylates is mediated in part by the Na+-linked carrier protein SdcS. This transporter is a member of the divalent-anion/Na+ symporter (DASS) family, a group that includes the mammalian Na+/dicarboxylate cotransporters NaDC1 and NaDC3. In earlier work, we cloned and expr…
[Structure: see text] The self-assembly in the crystal state of the terminally protected, linear dipeptide Boc-(S,S)c3diPhe-(R,R)c3diPhe-NHiPr (1) through intermolecular hydrogen bonds leads to the formation of a supramolecular helix of large diameter (18 A), internally decorated with phenyl rings. As a result, a holl…
We investigate the stable configurations and electronic structures of silicon carbide nanotubes (SiCNTs) decorated by N and NHx (x=1,2) groups by using first-principles calculations. We find that these groups can be chemically incorporated into the network of SiCNTs in different ways, accompanied with the formation of…
Increasing the number of chiral centers by adjusting auxiliary coligands results in a heterometallic metamagnet with a three-dimensional homochiral framework containing both cyanide and dicyanamide bridges.
Chemical modification of wheat protein-based natural polymer materials was conducted using glyoxal as cross-linker, and the cross-linking effect was studied on mechanical properties under different humidity conditions, the molecular motions of each component, and the phase structures/components of the whole materials.…
The conventional group additivity (GA) formalism may be identically reduced to a stoichiometric and thermochemical analysis of a special class of reactions referred to as GA reactions, that is, reactions that preserve the type and number of groups. Within this approach, the performance (error) of a GA scheme is determ…
The NIR donor-acceptor charge transfer (DACT) bands of the series of trinuclear complexes trans-[(NC)5Fe(II/III)(mu-CN)RuIIL4(mu-NC)FeIII(CN)5](5/4-) (L= pyridine, 4-tert-butylpyridine, and 4-methoxypyridine) are analyzed in terms of a simplified molecular orbital picture that reflects the interaction between the dono…
The possible formation of molecular−complex phases of s-PS with styrene dimers has been investigated by their sorption in amorphous and nanoporous δ-form films. X-ray diffraction, 13 C solid state NMR, and FTIR analyses have shown that only 1,3-diphenylbutane (dpb), but not 1,4-diphenylbutane, forms a highly stable mo…
Heterobimetallic molecular precursors [Co2(acac)2mu-OH)2Cu4(dmae)4Cl4] (2) and [Ni2(acac)2(mu-OH)2Cu4(dmae)4Cl4] (3) [dmaeH = N,N-dimethylaminoethanol and acac = 2,4-pentanedionate] for the deposition of mixed oxide thin films were prepared by the interaction of tetrameric N,N-dimethylaminoethanolato copper(II) chlori…
Well-ordered ultrathin TiO x layers on Pt(111) surface, prepared by reactive evaporation of Ti in oxygen, were characterized by means of Ti 2p and O 1s core level and by valence band photoelectron spectroscopy. Depending on the details of the preparation procedures, a total of six well-ordered structures, each of them…
Using first principles DF calculations we have studied the structural and catalytic properties of Au supported on TiOx-Mo(112) films. Our theoretical models are consistent with an initial (8 x 2) Mo(112)-Ti2O3 pattern which after Au deposition gives rise to ordered Au films that completely wet the surface. The oxidati…
Centrosymmetric pyrazinium NH+...N bonded complexes allow their dielectric properties to be analyzed separately from the bulk ferroelectric polarization observed in the noncentrosymmetric DABCO monosalts. The method of dielectric permittivity measurements has been employed for monitoring polarization fluctuations gene…
We have previously developed shear-responsive hydrogels assembled from mutually attractive but self-repulsive oligopeptide modules. To explore the mechanism of material assembly, we designed and synthesized a quartet of oligopeptides. The peptide quartet contains two positively charged modules 10 and 15 amino acid res…
Products obtained in the pyrolysis of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) can be very useful in plastic waste energy recovery or as raw materials in several processes in the chemical industry. The products obtained, however, depend on many variables such as temperature, volatile residence time, type of catalyst−polymer c…
In this communication, we use atomic layer deposition (ALD) as a means for depositing tungsten metal coatings on the skeletal network of highly porous aerogel substrates. The approach presented here could be extended to a wide range of metals and aerogels, allowing for the design of metal nanostructures with controlle…
Functionalization of highly fluorescent CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanocrystals (quantum dots, qdots) is an emerging technology for labeling cell surface proteins. We have synthesized a conjugate consisting of approximately 150-200 muscimols (a GABA receptor agonist) covalently joined to the qdot via a poly(ethylene glycol)…
This paper describes a study on the shape control of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) in batch cooling suspension crystallization by selecting the supersaturation as a media control variable. The effects of different cooling modes on the supersaturation level and hence on the crystal shape were investigated. The r…
Amphiphilic telechelics incorporating polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) end-caps were synthesized and studied as a novel building block for the construction of inorganic−organic hybrid materials. Their micron-scale morphologies were investigated using hot-stage polarizing optical microscopy (POM), revealing a dram…
Semirigid conjugated polymers have received much scientific and technological interest due to their unique electrical and photonic semiconducting properties. Spectroscopic studies have indicated that these polymers underwent interchain aggregation in the solution state even at large dilution; however, the origin of th…
