Resolving the charging paradox of neat oil droplets in water

The thesis covers the series of questions regarding the molecular structure and charge of oil nanodroplets in water. This work proposes a mechanism responsible for the stabilization of oil nanodroplets in water, which does not involve OH- adsorption. First ...

Structures of the (Imidazole)(n)H+ ... Ar (n=1,2,3) complexes determined from IR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations

Valeriu Scutelnic

Here, we present new cryogenic infrared spectra of the (Imidazole) H-n(+) (n=1,2,3) ions. The data was obtained using helium tagging infrared predissociation spectroscopy. The new results were compared with the data obtained by Gerardi et al. (Chem. Phys. ...

Radiative cooling of carbon cluster anions C-2n+1(-) (n=3-5)

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Radiative cooling of carbon cluster anions C(2n+1)(-)C2n+1- (n = 3-5) is investigated using the cryogenic electrostatic ion storage ring DESIREE. Two different strategies are applied to infer infrared emission on slow (milliseconds to seconds) and ultraslo ...

Multiple dehydrogenation reactions of negative ions in low pressure silane plasma chemistry

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Antoine Descoeudres

Micro-particle formation in low pressure silane (SiH4) plasmas has been of technical interest and concern for at least 40 years. Negative ion plasma chemistry is a candidate for the initial nucleation, which has been extensively studied both experimentally ...

Correlation between Optical Activity and the Helical Molecular Orbitals of Allene and Cumulenes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear in disubstituted allenes and even-n cumulenes. Chiral molecules are optically active, but while these molecules are single-handed chiral, p-orbitals of both helicities are present. Here we computationally ex ...

Cross-Reactive Alginate Derivatives for the Production of Dual Ionic−Covalent Hydrogel Microspheres Presenting Tunable Properties for Cell Microencapsulation

Sandrine Gerber, Aurélien Bornet, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz, Luca Szabó

The production of hydrogel micropsheres (MS) presenting physical, mechanical, and biological properties which can be modulated by their chemical composition is required to enlarge the panel of biomaterials for cell transplantation therapies. Functionalizat ...

Intramolecular palladium-catalyzed alkene carboalkynylation

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Peter Swallow

Carbocycles are essential building blocks for the synthesis of natural and synthetic bioactive compounds. Herein, we report the first example of palladium-catalyzed intramolecular carboalkynylation of non-activated olefins. Using activated carbonyl compoun ...

Crystal structures of eight mono-methyl alkanes (C-26-C-32) via single-crystal and powder diffraction and DFT-D optimization

Philip Pattison

The crystal structures of eight mono-methyl alkanes have been determined from single-crystal or high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. Mono-methyl alkanes can be found on the cuticles of insects and are believed to act as rec ...

Comparative Study on the In Vitro Cytotoxicity of Linear, Dendritic, and Hyperbranched Polylysine Analogues

Harm-Anton Klok, Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Zuzana Kadlecova

Lysine-based polycations are widely used as nonviral carriers for gene delivery. This manuscript reports the results of a comparative study on the in vitro cytotoxicity of a library of three structural polylysine variants, namely, linear polylysine (LPL), ...

Gene Delivery with Hyperbranched Polylysine

Zuzana Kadlecova

The delivery of exogenous nucleic acids into mammalian cells is a valuable technique for basic research studies on the expression, regulation and function of genes and proteins. At the same time, gene delivery to cultivated mammalian cells has become funda ...
