The treatment of water is needed for the supply of adequate quantity and quality of drinking water, as well as before the discharge of wastewater to the environment. Treatment technologies are often costly, involve chemicals that may have detrimental effec ...
Two nitrile-functionalized alkyltriflouroborate anion based complexes [(Ph3P)(2)N][CH3CH(BF3)CH2CN] and [K(18-crown-6)][CH3CH(BF3)CH2CN] were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single X-ray diffraction analysis. In the former comple ...
Time-resolved Optical Kerr Effect (OKE) measurements were used to det. the orientational dynamics of water and acetonitrile in the bulk and in pores of ZrO2 nanostructured films. The expts. were performed with a home-built OKE microscope, capable of provid ...
Patients with hemispatial neglect restricted to near (within reaching distance) or to far space (beyond reaching distance) have been described. This constitutes a double-dissociation considered by current neurocognitive thinking as compelling evidence for ...
This thesis is concerned with supramolecular architectures assembled at metal surfaces. The investigations pursued two objectives. On the one hand, the focus was placed on the fabrication of low-dimensional surface-supported network structures by applying ...
The dynamics of Hb I (HbI) from the clam Lucina pectinata, from wild-type sperm whale (SW) myoglobin, and from the L29F/H64Q/V68F triple mutant of SW, both unligated and bound to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), have been studied in mol. dynamics simulations. Featu ...
We discuss our recently proposed mechanism for the electro-oxidation/reduction on Pt(111) surfaces (J. Electroanal. Chem. 2002, 537, 7) in the presence of sulfuric acid. The bisulfate ion has a large dipole moment and is strongly adsorbed on the positive e ...
We propose a new mechanism for the electroreduction of hydrogen in acidic media. The specific model and theoretical calculations are designed for the Pt(111) surface, because this is the only face that exhibits a clear first order phase transition. The bas ...
While studies of solidification microstructures have focused mainly on the tips of the dendrites, the last stage solidification is equally important from the point of view of defect formation (porosity, hot tearing), mechanical strength build-up and precip ...
he structure and dynamics of the surrounding water were studied through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for several GdIII polyaminocarboxylate and polyaminophosphonate complexes in aqueous solution. The radial distribution functions (rdf) show that a f ...
