The stability and reactivity of the hematite, Fe2O3(0001) surface are studied by density functional theory including an on-site Coulomb term (DFT+U). Even under oxygen rich conditions, the metal-terminated surface is shown ...

In addition to oxometal [Mn+[double bond, length as m-dash]O] and imidometal [Mn+[double bond, length as m-dash]NR] units, transient metal–iodosylarene [M(n−2)+–O[double bond, length as m-dash]IPh] and metal–iminoiodane ...

A straightforward access route to multifunctional block copolymers, com- bining a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block and a monodisperse segment with discrete monomer sequence based on thiolactone chemistry, is described.Exploiting ...

We have investigated the bulk and surface properties of the group II metal fluorides CaF 2 , SrF 2 and BaF 2 using periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations and surface thermodynamics. Our bulk results show ...

The collection of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of proteins and other biomolecules in complex biological samples such as animal cells has been achieved with gold nanoparticles that are introduced to the ...

The solvent Stark effect on the spectral shifts of anthracene is studied with temperature‐dependent solvatochromic measurements. The Stark contribution ΔvStark to the absorption shift Δvp in polar solvents is measured to ...

Let it roll: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a new class of usually noncoding transcripts with largely unknown functions. Their research is hampered not least by the inapplicability of traditional analytical methods. ...

Two‐dimensional (2D) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is often combined with metal oxides for energy‐storage applications, owing to its unique properties. Here, we compare the electrochemical performance of Nb2O5‐rGO and ...

Tetramercaptotetrathiacalix[4]arene (LH4) can be used as a coordination platform to bind four CuI ions at the thiolate and thioether S atoms. Donor ligands such as phosphanes can stabilize the resulting [LCu4] units, which ...

A calix[4]arene ligand, in which two of the phenol functions are replaced by pyrazole units has been employed to mimic the His2–Tyr2 (His: histidine, Tyr: tyrosine) ligand sphere within the active site of the galactose ...
