The packing structure of bundled MoSI nanowires is investigated. Scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy are used to determine both the nanowire structure and bundle superstructure. Shown is a high-resolution microscopy image of a small bundle. The image width is 8 nm. It is found that the nanowi…

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and some related yeasts are unusual in that two of the enzyme activities (galactose mutarotase and UDP-galactose 4-epimerase) required for the Leloir pathway of d-galactose catabolism are contained within a single protein-Gal10p. The recently solved structure of the protein shows that the two…

A water-soluble biotinylated poly( p -phenyleneethynylene) (PPE, 3 ) was synthesized by postfunctionalization of an amine−PPE precursor 2a and investigated for sensory responses in aqueous buffer at physiological pH. Polymer 3 shows similar sensitivity ( K SV = 1.1 × 10 4 M -1 ) to Hg 2+ ions when compared to PPE 1 (…

Abstract We report here a new approach for the modification of the performance of metal catalysts: organic doping of the metal. Specifically, we report that the doping of Ag with Congo Red (CR@Ag) significantly improves the performance of Ag as a catalyst for methanol oxidation to formaldehyde, outperforming both pure…

Reactions between the three components Ag2O, V2O5, and HF(aq) were investigated under hydrothermal conditions, and the recovered phases were, in increasing Ag:V content, Ag2V4O11, beta-AgVO3, Ag4V2O6F2, Ag4V2O7, and alpha-Ag3VO4. A higher ratio of Ag2O to V2O5, as compared to a stoichiometric ratio, was required to sy…

Porous NiTi shape memory alloys are one of the promising biomaterials for surgical implants because of their unique shape memory effects and porous structure with open pores. However, the complex surface morphology and larger area of porous NiTi compared to dense NiTi make it more vulnerable from the viewpoint of rele…

In this paper, we report the first examples of trispyrazolylmethane complexes of rare earths. Reaction of LnCl3 with Tpm* (tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane) in THF or acetonitrile gives good yields of the [Ln(Tpm*)Cl3] (Ln = Y, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Yb). Tpm* adducts of the lanthanide triflates [Ln(Tpm*)(OTf)3(THF)] (Ln =…

The spin-phonon coupling model that excludes a possible orbital-spin-phonon (OSP) coupling does not adequately explain the softening behavior of the two most intense Raman bands of ${\mathrm{LaMnO}}_{3}$, the parent compound of ``colossal'' magnetoresistivity. To quantitatively interpret the softening behavior of thes…
