Unprecedented and fascinating phenomena have been recently observed at oxide interfaces between centrosymmetric cubic materials, where polar discontinuities can give rise to polarization charges and electric fields that drive a metal-insulator transition a ...
Two new complexes based on pyridine-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic acid(H(4)pdtc) as ligand, {[Co-2(pdtc)(H2O)(4)]center dot H2O}(n) (1) and {Mn-2(pdtc)(H2O)(4)}(n) (2), have been obtained by hydrothermal syntheses and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, X-r ...
One central aim of nanotechnology is the creation and exploitation of nanostructured materials with pre-programmed architecture and properties. The fabrication of functional nanostructures relies on versatile protocols of synthetic chemistry enabling the p ...
A modified polysulfide redox couple, [(CH3)4N]2S/[(CH3)4N]2Sn, in an org. solvent (3-methoxypropionitrile) was employed in CdS quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs), and an unprecedented energy conversion efficiency of up to 3.2% was obtained under a ...
A conjugate which is capable of specific binding to and inhibition of urokinase-type plasminigen activator (UPA) comprising a polypeptide molecule and a scaffold molecule, wherein said polypeptide molecule is attached to said scaffold molecule by at least ...
We introduce a density-dependent bonding descriptor that enables simultaneous visualization of both covalent and noncovalent interactions. The proposed quantity is tailored to reveal the regions of space, where the total electron density results from a str ...
This work describes the use of boron-nitrogen dative bonds in supramolecular chemistry. Molecular tectons have been synthesized for crystal engineering. These tectons are linked via B-N dative bonds to form 1-dimensional polymers and macrocycles. B-N dativ ...
Two luminescent terbium and europium lanthanide chelates were efficiently embedded into silica nanoparticles by using a reverse microemulsion process. The incorporation was achieved without covalent bonding between the lanthanide chelates and the silica ma ...
DNA damages induced by oxidative intrastrand cross-links have been the subject of intense research during the past decade. Yet, the currently available experimental protocols used to isolate such lesions only allow to get structural information about linke ...
Drug, molecules consist of a few tens of atoms connected by covalent bonds. Haw many such molecules are possible in total and what is their structure? This question is of pressing interest in: medicinal. chemistry to help solve the problems of drug potency ...
