The first part of this short review focuses on the insertion of luminescent lanthanide ions into molecular compounds. The main requirements for the development of highly luminescent chelates with potential applications in biomedical analysis and time-resol ...
The concept of multiscale modeling embodies the idea that a comprehensive description of a material will require an understanding over multiple time and length scales. A multiscale model requires that descriptions at all levels be consistent with each othe ...
Strontium lanthanum manganite (LSM) and lanthanum ferrite (LSF) perovskite cathode and oxygen membrane materials were synthesized using different techniques: spray pyrolysis, a modified citrate route, oxalate and carbonate co-precipitations. The use of Ca, ...
The connection of twelve peripheral and divergent dodecyloxy chains to a central tridentate aromatic binding unit provides the dodecacatenar ligand L11, for which room- temperature mesomorphism is detected. An enthalpically unbalanced large melting entropy ...
This work describes the dilute solution and solid-state structure of polyelectrolyte complexes generated from hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) and various anionic, sodium alkyl sulfate surfactants. In dilute solution, the radius of gyration (Rg) of the HBPL ...
We report absorption spectra for Ag7, Ag9, and Ag11 in an argon matrix grown at a temperature of 28 K and compare them with previous spectra of the same species measured in matrices of argon grown at lower temperatures as well as in neon matrices. We discu ...
The thermal stability of amorphous ionic solids is usually attributed to kinetic considerations related to mass transport. However, there are a number of amorphous ionic solids, which have recently been described, whose unusual resistance to nucleation and ...
Using density functional theory, we investigate the structural, vibrational, and dielectric properties of titanium oxides and silicates, which have attracted considerable attention in the framework of the quest for alternative high-K materials. For the oxi ...
Optically active liquid-crystalline side-chain polysiloxanes have been prepared by grafting planar chiral ferrocene-based vinyl monomers onto commercially available polyhydrosiloxane. Two ferrocene monomers have been synthesized: a linear-type monomer, whi ...
A C-13 CPMAS NMR experiment at high field (11.7 T) has produced significantly improved dispersion for the a form of testosterone, allowing revisions and extensions to be made to the assignments. Correlations shown by an INADEQUATE two-dimensional spectrum, ...
