The crystal structures of eight mono-methyl alkanes have been determined from single-crystal or high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. Mono-methyl alkanes can be found on the cuticles of insects and are believed to act as rec ...
While antibodies currently play a dominant role as affinity reagents in biological research and for diagnostics, a broad range of recombinant proteins are emerging as promising alternative affinity reagents in detection assays and quantification. DNA-media ...
Trichloramine is a hazardous disinfection by-product that is of particular relevance in indoor swimming pools. To better understand its fate in pool waters, apparent second order rate constants (kapp) at pH 7 for its reaction with several model compounds w ...
In this work, composition of organic aerosol simulated by the Master Chemical Mechanism coupled with a dynamic absorptive partitioning model is compared against infrared spectroscopy measurements of functional group abundance in chamber experiments. The Ma ...
A synthetic path to poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide), a substitute for the "KLE" surfactant was developed. For this purpose, mono hydroxyl end-functionalized poly(ethylene-co-butylene) (similar to 3800 g mol(-1)) was modified with a tr ...
The development of selective Pd-based catalyst for semi-hydrogenation of dehydroisophytol (DIP), a C20-alkynol, is reported. A series of unsupported mono- (Pd) and bimetallic (Pd-M) nanoparticles (NPs) with Pd/M molar ratios of 1.5 - 5.0 (M = Ag or Cu) wer ...
[Fe]-hydrogenase has a single iron-containing active site that features an acylmethylpyridinol ligand. This unique ligand environment had yet to be reproduced in synthetic models; however the synthesis and reactivity of a new class of small molecule mimics ...
A new, simple, and efficient procedure for the one-pot Ugi four-component reaction of alcohols instead of aldehydes is described. Using a stoichiometric amount of IBX or only 1-2% of sodium 2-iodobenzenesulfonate in the presence of Oxone, a wide range of p ...
Thin film gas sensors made of nanocomposite MWCNT center dot SnO2(1:66), semiconductor compound WO3 center dot SnO2(1:9), and also multicomponent structure MWCNT center dot SnO2(1:66)/WO3 center dot SnO2(1:9) have been fabricated by high-frequency magnetro ...
In order to separate a mixture into high purity products, Dividing Wall Distillation Columns (DWCs) have shown to be, in most cases, more convenient than using conventional distillation column sequence. In fact in DWCs the entire separation task occurs in ...
