Automated, small sample-size adiabatic calorimeter.
An automated adiabatic calorimeter is described with an internal vol. of 5 cm3, operable at 30-380 K. One of the main advantages of this calorimeter over others in use is the shorter down time during sample changes, due ... -
Bis[Pyrrolyl Ru(II)] Triads: a New Class of Photosensitizers for Metal-Organic Photodynamic Therapy
A new family of ten dinuclear Ru(II) complexes based on the bis[pyrrolyl Ru(II)] triad scaffold, where two Ru(bpy)2 centers are separated by a variety of organic linkers, was prepared to evaluate the influence of the ... -
BODIPYs with Chalcogenophenes at Boron: Synthesis and Properties. Postprint
Reported herein are the synthesis and characterization of BODIPYs bearing heterocycles at boron. To synthesize this series, various chalcogenophenes (furan, thiophene, selenophene, and tellurophene) were lithiated and then ... -
Bridging and Conformational Control of Porphyrin Units through Non-Traditional Rigid Scaffolds
Connecting two porphyrin units in a rigid linear fashion, without any undesired electron delocalization or communication between the chromophores, remains a synthetic challenge. Herein, a broad library of functionally ... -

A calorimetric investigation of the low-temperature phase transition in sodium hydroxide-d.
The heat capacity of NaOD from 20 to 350 K is reported. An anomaly centered at 153.2 ± 0.1 K (?H = 131.1 ± 0.7 J/mol, ?S = 0.864 ± 0.005 J/K.mol) corresponds to the onset of a low-temp. antiferroelec. phase. This ... -

Chemical Constituents from Stem Bark and Roots of Clausena anisata
Phytochemical investigations on the stem bark and roots of the tropical shrub Clausena anisata led to the isolation and characterization three carbazole alkaloids: girinimbine, murrayamine-A and ekeberginine; two peptide ... -
Chiral molecules containing the pyrrole framework
This review summarizes strategies by which chiral pyrroles, both simple and complex, have been prepared: strategies include formation of the pyrrolic ring using starting materials appended with chirality, as well as the ... -
Chloride anion transport and copper-mediated DNA cleavage by C-ring functionalized prodigiosenes
A new class of prodigiosenes with stability-enhancing functionalities appended to the C-ring were found to transport chloride anions through liposomal membranes, as well as to induce copper-mediated DNA cleavage. -
cis-3,5-Cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol derivatives: facial selectivity in their Diels-Alder reactions with ethylenic, acetylenic and azo dienophiles
The Diels - Alder reactions of maleimide with the acetonide derivative (6a) of cis-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol (1a) in various solvents showed facial selectivities ranging from 1 : 1 to 1 : 9. The same derivative 6a reacted ... -
Cl-BODIPYs: a BODIPY class enabling facile beta-substitution
Cl-BODIPYs, synthesized in high yields from dipyrrins under air- and moisture-free conditions, are extremely facile to substitution at boron compared to their corresponding F-BODIPYs, opening up a new route to BODIPYs ... -
Classifying donor strengths of dipyrrinato/aza-dipyrrinato ligands
A parameter is reported by which to use 13C NMR chemical shifts to measure and predict the donor capabilities of N^N dipyrrinato and aza-dipyrrinato ligands chelating in L^X fashion. The results enable the rationalisation ... -
A Combinatorial Investigation of Fe-Si-Zn Thin Film Negative Electrodes for Li-ion 1 Batteries (Preprint)
Thin-film Fe-Si-Zn libraries were investigated as negative electrode materials for Li-ion batteries using combinatorial and high-throughput techniques. X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe measurements were used to ... -
A Combinatorial Investigation of Fe-Si-Zn Thin Film Negative Electrodes for Li-ion 2 Batteries (Preprint)
Sodium-ion batteries have the potential to be a low cost, sustainable replacement for lithium-ion batteries in large scale energy storage. The lack of practical negative electrode materials limit the development of Na-ion ... -
Combinatorial Investigations of Ni-Si Negative Electrode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries
Sputtered thin films in the Ni-Si system (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.65 in NixSi1-x) were studied for use as anode materials in Li-ion cells. All compositions were found to be amorphous. The Ni in Ni-Si films was found to suppress the ... -
Combinatorial Study of the Si-Sn-O System as Negative Electrode Materials in Li-Ion Cells
SixSnyO1-x-y films with 0.45 < x < 0.80, 0.05 < y < 0.35, and 0.05 < (1-x-y) < 0.40 have been prepared using a magnetron sputtering method. All compositions had an amorphous structure and good capacity retention. Reversible ...
