We measured the elemental compositions of material from 23 particles in aerogel and from residue in seven craters in aluminum foil that was collected during passage of the Stardust spacecraft through the coma of comet 81P/Wild 2. These particles are chemic ...
The water-soluble iridium(III) complexes [CpIr(PTA)Cl2] (1) and [CpIr(PTA)2Cl]Cl (2) (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) have been synthesised and characterised by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The complexes were evaluated as catalyst prec ...
This paper is concerned with an investigation of electron transfer between cytochrome P450scc (CYP11A1) immobilized on nanostructured rhodium-graphite electrodes. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were deposited onto the rhodium-graphite electrodes by ...
Pulse plating of nickel-tungsten alloys has been studied from two citrate ammonia based model electrolytes containing either an excess of nickel or an excess of tungsten. The alloy composition and current efficiency were determined for pulse periods rangin ...
The era of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) started twenty years ago. A cut gold cantilever with a glued diamond stylus served as the scanning probe. Within a few years the crystalline silicon (Si) became the – up to today – predominant SPM probe material. ...
Mitochondria in intact cells maintain low Na+ levels despite the large electrochemical gradient favoring cation influx into the matrix. In addition, they display individual spontaneous transient depolarizations. We report here that individual mit ...
We have studied the vibrational properties of CO adsorbed on platinum and platinum-ruthenium surfaces using density-functional perturbation theory within the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof generalized-gradient approximation. The calculated C-O stretching frequenci ...
A series of ruthenium, osmium and rhodium complexes utilizing pta, (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1]decane) and pta-Me+, its N-methyl derivative, have been synthesized. Their characterization by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and single crysta ...
In an attempt to quantify the extent of geochemical heterogeneity within a restricted and well dated portion of the upper mantle, 27 chromite separates from the 90 My old chromite deposits in the Mayari-Baracoa ophiolite belt in eastern Cuba have been inve ...
Nine 1,3-dichlorobenzene congeners were selected as model compds. to assess the relative rates of proton abstraction from 4- and 5-positions ("ortho" vs. "meta" metalation). Using lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide as the basic reagent, the chlorine-adj ...
