Phase transitions in M(ClO4)2.6H2O (M = magnesium, zinc). Investigations by adiabatic calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy.
IR spectra of Mg(ClO4)2.6H2O at 10 K indicate a complex structure contg. at least 16 distinct types of H2O protons. At 107.9 K this structure transforms sharply to a much simpler disordered form (?Strans = 7.754 J K-1 ... -
Phase transitions in metal perchlorate hydrates: the supposed hydrate-to-pseudohydrate transformations.
A polemic. The hydrate-to-pseudohydrate transformations in metal perchlorate hydrates reported by M. B. Patel and H. D. Brist (ibid. 1983, 79, 4489) and Solid State Commun. (48, 139 (1983)) as well as the suggested ... -

Phonon dispersion and Gruneisen parameters of zinc dicyanide and cadmium dicyanide from first principles: Origin of negative thermal expansion.
Zinc dicyanide, Zn(CN)2, and the isostructural cadmium dicyanide show neg. thermal expansion over a broad range of temps. By the use of d. functional theory calcns., we det. the phonon dispersion curves of these materials ... -
Photo-induced Anticancer Activity and Singlet Oxygen Production of Prodigiosenes
The photo-induced cytotoxicity of prodigiosenes is reported. One prodigiosene represents a synthetic analogue of the natural product prodigiosin, and two are conjugated to molecules that target the estrogen receptor (ER). ... -
Photoacoustic Investigation of the Temperature and Magnetic-Field Dependence of the Specific-Heat Capacity and Thermal-Conductivity Near the Curie-Point of Gadolinium
The photoacoustic technique was used as a simple but accurate tool to simultaneously determine the specific-heat capacity C and thermal conductivity kappa of gadolinium in the neighborhood of the Curie point. One ... -
The Photodecarboxylation of Substituted Naphthylmethyl Arylacetate Esters: Synthesis of Naphthylarylethanes
The synthesis of naphthylarylethanes via the photodecarboxylation of naphthylmethyl arylacetate esters is reported where the aryl group is able to stabilize a charge transfer reaction. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular ... -

Properties and applications of protein-stabilized fluorescent gold nanoclusters: short review.
A review. Research is turning toward nanotechnol. for solns. to current limitations in biomedical imaging and anal. detection applications. New to fluorescent nanomaterials that could help advance such applications are ... -
Regioselective Substituent Effects upon the Synthesis of Dipyrrins from 2-Formyl Pyrroles
The synthesis of symmetric α-free meso-H-dipyrrin hydrobromides from 5-H-2-formyl pyrroles was investigated. The self-condensation produces regioisomeric dipyrrins through the adoption of two mechanistic pathways. The key ... -
Relating 139La Quadrupolar Coupling Constants to Polyhedral Distortion in Crystalline Structures
A broad series of crystalline lanthanum oxide-based materials has been investigated through high-field 139La solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy and ab initio density functional theory (DFT) ... -
Robust Synthesis of F-BODIPYs
F-BODIPYs are widely used in applications that rely upon their highly tunable optical properties. A protocol is established for the high-yielding synthesis of F-BODIPYs involving non-anhydrous reagents and not requiring ...
