Local Conformational Switching of Supramolecular Networks at the Solid/Liquid Interface

Klaus Kern, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Fernando Pablo Cometto

We use the electric field in a scanning tunneling microscope to manipulate the transition between open and close packed 2D supramolecular networks of neutral molecules in nonpolar media. We found that while the magnitude of the applied field is not decisiv ...

Experimental and theoretical approach to the study of CO2 adsorption in an extensive family of metal-organic frameworks

Berend Smit, Wendy Lee Queen, Miguel Gonzalez

Metal org. frameworks (MOFs) are cryst. materials that contain metal-ions or metal-ion clusters as nodes and org. ligands as linkers to form 1-, 2-, and 3-D structures. In addn. to their convenient modular synthesis and chem. tunability, this class of mate ...

Comprehensive study of carbon dioxide adsorption in the metal-organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)

Berend Smit, Wendy Lee Queen, Miguel Gonzalez

Analysis of the CO2 adsorption properties of a well-known series of metal-organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (dobdc(4-) = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) is carried out in tandem with in situ structural studies to ident ...

Enhancement of p-type dye-sensitized solar cell performance by supramolecular assembly of electron donor and acceptor

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Liang Sun, Yan Hao

Supramolecular interactions based on porphyrin and fullerene derivatives were successfully adopted to improve the photovoltaic performance of p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) measurements suggest a change in bindin ...

Laser Spectroscopic Study of Cold Host–Guest Complexes of Crown Ethers in the Gas Phase

Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

A laser spectroscopic study on the structure and dynamics of cold host–guest inclusion complexes of crown ethers (CEs) with various neutral and ionic species in the gas phase is presented. The complexes with neutral guest species are formed by using supers ...

Dual and multi-stimuli responsive polymeric nanoparticles for programmed site-specific drug delivery

Harm-Anton Klok

In the past decades, polymeric nanoparticles have emerged as a most promising and viable technology platform for targeted and controlled drug delivery. As vehicles, ideal nanoparticles are obliged to possess high drug loading levels, deliver drug to the sp ...

On the Thermodynamics of Framework Breathing: A Free Energy Model for Gas Adsorption in MIL-53

Berend Smit

When adsorbing guest molecules, the porous metal-organic framework MIL-53(Cr) may vary its cell parameters drastically while retaining its crystallinity. A first approach to the thermodynamic analysis of this "framework breathing" consists of comparing the ...

Formation and Properties of Self-Assembly-Driven Fluorescent Nanoparticle Sensors

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei

Fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs) are obtained in water by self-assembly from a polymeric ionic liquid, fluorescent carboxylate moiety, and a surfactant through two main supramolecular interactions, that is, ionic bonds and hydrophobic/hydrophilic interacti ...

Mobile uranium(IV)-bearing colloids in a mining-impacted wetland

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Yuheng Wang

Tetravalent uranium is commonly assumed to form insoluble species, resulting in the immobilization of uranium under reducing conditions. Here we present the first report of mobile U(IV)-bearing colloids in the environment, bringing into question this commo ...
