Electrophoresis of a sphere at an arbitrary position in a spherical cavity filled with Carreau fluid

Boundary effects on the electrophoretic behavior of a charged entity are of both fundamental and practical significance. Here, they are examined by considering the case where a sphere is at an arbitrary position in a spherical cavity under conditions of low surface potential and weak applied electrical field. Previous analyses are extended to the case of a non-Newtonian fluid, and a Carreau model is adopted for this purpose. The effects of key parameters such as the thickness of a double layer, the relative sizes of particle and cavity, the position of a particle, and the nature of a fluid on the electrophoretic mobility of a particle are discussed. Several interesting phenomena are observed. For example, if the applied electric field points toward north, the mobility of a particle has a local maximum when it is at the center of a cavity. However, if a particle is sufficiently close to the north pole of a cavity, its mobility exhibits a local minimum as its position varies. This does not occur when the particle is close to the south pole of the cavity; instead, it may move in the direction opposite to that of the applied electric field. For a Newtonian fluid, if a particle is close to the north pole of a cavity, its upward movement yields a clockwise (counterclockwise) vortex near the north pole of the cavity and a counterclockwise (clockwise) vortex near the south pole of the cavity on its right (left)-hand side. The latter is not observed for a Carreau fluid.     

Refolding foldamers: triazene-arylene oligomers that change shape with chemical stimuli

We describe the preparation of five triazene-arylene oligomers (3, 4, 7, 8, and 11) and investigations of their folding properties in aqueous solution. These oligomers contain four 2-fold rotors and populate a conformational ensemble comprising at least 10 states. Extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies as well as X-ray crystallography establish that the presence of three members of the cucurbit[n]uril family (CB[n]), CB[10], CB[7], and CB[8], results in the selective population of the (a,a,a,a)-, (a,s,s,a)-, and (a,a,a,s)-conformers. As a result of the high affinity and highly selective binding properties of the CB[n] family, it is possible to fold a single foldamer strand (3) into the CB[8].(a,a,a,s)-3 conformer by the addition of CB[8], then unfold and refold it into the CB[7].(a,s,s,a)-3.CB[7] conformer by addition of CB[7] and 3,5-dimethylaminoadamantane (17), then unfold and refold it again into the CB[10].(a,a,a,a)-3 conformer by addition of CB[10].CB[5] and aminoadamantane (18). The transformation of CB[8].(a,a,a,s)-3 into CB[7].(a,s,s,a)-3.CB[7] proceeds through the intermediacy of CB [8].(a,a,s,a)-3.CB[7], which enhances the rate of dissociation of strand 3 from CB[8].     

Photochromism of mixed crystals containing bisthienyl-, bisthiazolyl-, and bisoxazolylethene derivatives

Single crystals composed of two or three different kinds of diarylethenes, having similar geometrical structures but different colors in the closed-ring isomers, 1,2-bis(2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (1a), 1,2-bis(5-methyl-2-phenyl- 4-thiazolyl)perfluorocyclopentene (2a), and 1,2-bis(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl)perfluorocyclopentene (3a) have been prepared in an attempt to form single crystals which exhibit different colors, depending on illumination wavelengths. When 1a and 2a are mixed in ethanol and the content of 2a in the feed is higher than that of 1a, only a needle-shaped crystal is obtained. The crystal shape is similar to that of 2a. On the other hand, high content of 1a in the feed leads to formation of a block-shaped crystal, of which the shape is similar to that of 1a. At a feed ratio of 1:1 for 1a and 2a, two types of crystals such as needle- and block-shapes are obtained from the same batch. Mixed crystals composed of three kinds of derivatives 1a/2a/3a have also been prepared. A crystal composed of the three derivatives in the molar ratio of 32 (1a):53 (2a):15 (3a) was obtained. X-ray analysis proved that 1a and 3a are packed in the crystal lattice of 2a. The mixed crystal 1a/2a/3a changed color from colorless to yellow, red, and blue upon irradiation with light of appropriate wavelengths.     

Modeling of the pseudo-colloids migration for multi-member decay chains with a arbitrary flux boundary condition in a fractured porous medium

A deep geologic disposal is the prime option for the long-term isolation of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) in many countries. For deeply located repositories, a radionuclide released from a failed waste container moves through the engineered and natural barriers before it reaches a biosphere. The pseudo-colloid which a radionuclide is adsorbed on a moving natural humic or fulvic colloid can be generated in a fractured porous medium. The size of a colloid is in general in the order of a hundred nanometer so that its migration velocity in a fracture is higher than that of a radionuclide due to the hydrochromatic effect. A large colloid cannot diffuse easily into a surrounding rock. Also, there are many kinds of actinides and these actinides have decay chains. In this analysis, the canonical form solution is derived for a pseudo-colloid and a solute in a fracture and a surrounding rock with a realistic inlet boundary condition with multi-member decay chains. It is used the Fortran based a computational code which uses a special subroutine for the inversion of Laplace transform. Consequently, the role of the pseudo-colloid in the fractured porous medium is important and also their decay chains aren’t neglected in the performance assessment of the HLW.     

Controlled Dynamic Helicity of a Folded Macrocycle Based on a Bisterephthalamide with a Twofold Z‐Shaped Structure

Dynamic helicity in a folded macrocycle and control of the helical preference are described. We designed macrocycle 1 with a dual mode of folding through the integration of two flexible units that are arranged twice to form a cyclic structure. As a folding unit, we used a terephthalamide skeleton and a Z‐shaped hydrocarbon: the former acted as a control unit to induce a preference of a particular sense of dynamic helicity and the latter was just a spacer. A terephthalamide unit provided a binding site for capturing a ditopic hydrogen‐bonding guest when it adopted helically folded syn forms (M/P). Thus, only the terephthalamide unit controlled the helical sense of dynamic helicity in a folded macrocycle through the supramolecular transmission of chirality upon complexation with a chiral ditopic guest. In addition, chirality on a host could also contribute to the control of the helical preference in a folded macrocycle, which led to exceptionally enhanced chiroptical signals.     

Electrophoresis of a rigid sphere in a Carreau fluid normal to a large charged disk

The electrophoresis of a rigid sphere in a Carreau fluid normal to a large disk is analyzed theoretically under the conditions of low surface potential and weak applied electric field. Previous analyses are extended to the case where a disk can be charged, and a more realistic electrostatic force formula is applied. We show that the qualitative behavior of a sphere depends largely on its distance from a disk, the thickness of double layer, and the nature of a fluid. In general, the presence of a disk has the effect of increasing the conventional hydrodynamic drag on a sphere, and a decrease in the thickness of the double layer surrounding a sphere has the effect of enhancing the shear-thinning effect. However, this might not be the case if a sphere is uncharged and a disk is charged, where the osmotic pressure field and the induced charge on the sphere surface can be significant. The shear-thinning effect is important only if the thickness of double layer is sufficiently thick. This result can play a significant role in practice such as in electrophoretic deposition, where the deposition electrode is charged and the fluid medium is usually of shearing-thinning nature.     

Gradient extremals and valley floor bifurcations on potential energy surfaces

Gradient extremals are curves in configuration space denned by the condition that the gradient of the potential energy is an eigenvector of the Hessian matrix. Solutions of a corresponding equation go along a valley floor or along a crest of a ridge, if the norm of the gradient is a minimum, and along a cirque or a cliff or a flank of one of the two if the gradient norm is a maximum. Properties of gradient extremals are discussed for simple 2D model surfaces including the problem of valley bifurcations.     

Synthesis of well-defined polymers with protected silanol groups by atom transfer radical polymerization and their use for the fabrication of polymeric nanoparticles

Copper-mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of a protected silanol group-holding methacrylate, methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MOPS), was investigated. In a dry condition using carefully distilled solvent and monomer, the polymerization proceeded in a living fashion providing a low-polydispersity polymer with a predicted molecular weight. The ATRP in conjunction with the sequential monomer addition of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and MOPS afforded a block copolymer of the type PMMA-b-poly(MMA-r-MOPS). The heat treatment of a solution of the block copolymer in the presence of a catalytic amount of ammonia gave a polymeric core-shell nanoparticle with a shell of PMMA moieties and a core of the poly(MMA-r-MOPS) blocks cross-linked via the condensation of the trimethoxysilane groups of the MOPS moieties.     

Crystal engineering of photochromic diarylethene single crystals

Photochromic performance of diarylethene single crystals was controlled by crystal engineering using non-covalent aromatic-aromatic interactions as the directional intermolecular force. A diarylethene derivative with two pentafluorophenyl groups, 1,2-bis(2-methyl-5-pentafluorophenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (1a), formed stoichiometric co-crystals with benzene (Bz) and naphthalene (Np) by aryl-perfluoroaryl interactions. Face-to-face pi-stacking interactions between the pentafluorophenyl groups of 1a and the aromatic molecules are responsible for 2:1 and 1:1 stoichiometric compositions in 1a/Bz and 1a/Np co-crystals, respectively. The diarylethene underwent thermally stable and photoreversible photochromic reactions in a homo-crystal of 1a and co-crystals 1a/Bz and 1a/Np. The absorption spectra of the photogenerated closed-ring isomers varied depending on the conformation of the diarylethene molecules packed in the crystals. The diarylethene 1a also formed 1:1 stoichiometric co-crystals with different kinds of diarylethenes, 1,2-bis(2-ethyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (2a) and 1,2-bis[2-methyl-5-(1-naphthyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene (3a). Both co-crystals 1a/2a and 1a/3a showed photochromism. Although 1a, 2a, and 3a underwent efficient photocyclization reactions in their homo-crystals, highly selective photocyclization reactions of 2a or 3a were observed in the co-crystals. The selective reactions were confirmed by HPLC and X-ray crystallography. Excited energy transfers from 1a to 2a and from 1a to 3a are considered to occur and cause the selective reactions.     

Photolysis of organopolysilanes. The reaction of photochemically generated methylphenylsilylene with conjugated dienes

Photolysis of 2-phenylheptamethyltrisilane (I) in the presence of acyclic and cyclic conjugated dienes has been investigated using both a high-pressure mercury lamp with a quartz filter and a low-pressure mercury lamp with a Vycor filter. Irradiation of I in the presence of 1,3-butadiene, isoprene or 2,3-dimethylbutadiene with a high-pressure mercury lamp gave a product arising from photochemical isomerization of a silacyclopropane derivative and a compound apparently formed by 1,4-silylene addition, along with a 1/1 “ene” adduct of the diene to a photo-rearranged intermediate containing the silicon—carbon double bond. Irradiation of I in the presence of the conjugated diene with a low-pressure mercury lamp, followed by treatment of the product with methanol, afforded a methoxysilane arising from methanolysis of the corresponding silacyclopropane, together with the isomerization product, silacyclopentene and rearranged addition product. Irradiation of I in the presence of cyclopentadiene with a high-pressure mercury lamp produced methylphenylsilylcyclopentadiene, while irradiation of a similar mixture with a low-pressure mercury lamp followed by treatment with methanol gave 4-(methoxymethylphenylsilyl)-1-cyclopentene. With 1,3-cyclooctadiene, the photochemically generated methylphenylsilylene afforded many types of addition product. Photolysis of I in the presence of 1,3-cyclohexadiene, however, afforded none of the silylene addition products.     

Guest-induced assembly of tetracarboxyl-cavitand and tetra(3-pyridyl)-cavitand into a heterodimeric capsule via hydrogen bonds and CH-halogen and/or CH-pi interaction: control of the orientation of the encapsulated guest

The guest- or solvent-induced assembly of a tetracarboxyl-cavitand 1 and a tetra(3-pyridyl)-cavitand 2 into a heterodimeric capsule 1.2 in a rim-to-rim fashion via four intermolecular CO(2)H.N hydrogen bonds has been investigated both in solution and in the solid state. In the (1)H NMR study, a 1:1 mixture of1a and 2a (R = (CH(2))(6)CH(3)) in CDCl(3) gave a mixture of various complicated aggregates, whereas this mixture in CDCl(2)CDCl(2) or p-xylene-d(10) exclusively produced the heterodimeric capsule 1a.2a. It was found that an appropriate 1,4-disubstituted-benzene is a suitable guest for inducing the exclusive formation of 1a.2a in CDCl(3). The ability of a guest to induce the formation of guest-encapsulating heterodimeric capsule, guest@(1a.2a), increased in the order p-ethyltoluene < 1-ethyl-4-methoxybenzene < or = 1-ethyl-4-iodobenzene < or = 1,4-dibromobenzene < 1-iodo-4-methoxybenzene < or= 1,4-dimethoxybenzene < or = 1,4-diiodobenzene. The (1)H NMR study revealed that a CH-halogen interaction between the inner protons of the methylene-bridge rims (-O-H(out)CH(in)-O-) of the 1a and 2a units and the halogen atoms of 1,4-dihalobenzenes and a CH-pi interaction between the methoxy protons of 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and the aromatic cavities of the 1a and 2a units play important roles in the formation of 1,4-dihalobenzene@(1a.2a) and 1,4-dimethoxybenzene@(1a.2a), respectively. A preliminary single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of guest@(1b.2b) (R = (CH(2))(2)Ph; guest = 1-iodo-4-methoxybenzene or p-xylene) confirmed that the guest encapsulated in 1b.2b is oriented with the long axis of the guest along the long axis of 1b.2b and that the iodo and the methoxy groups of the encapsulated 1-iodo-4-methoxybenzene are specifically oriented with respect to the cavities of the 2b and 1b units, respectively.     

Association-dissociation equilibrium of loop structures in single-chain folding into a toroidal condensate

Recently, it has been revealed that a semiflexible polyelectrolyte chain can form a partially folded conformation stably as a result of an electrostatic interaction. Interestingly, there are cases where the appearance of this structure requires a high-salt condition of a solution. In order to solve this problem, we consider the double equilibrium of the formation of loops and their aggregation on a single-chain polymer. First, an aggregate with a typical surface energy is examined as a test case. The basic nature of the folding transition is discussed with regard to the chemical potential of loop structures. Next, we consider a charged aggregate for which the interior is completely neutralized by counter ions. In this model, a partially folded chain appears with a high-salt condition. Based on this model, screened interactions between surface charges and a toroidal shape of a folded structure are considered essential factors bihind this phenomenon.     

Fragmentation of low-boiling disperse phase in turbulent flow of cooling emulsion

A qualitative analysis of a character of joint heat transfer and drop fragmentation of an overheated disperse phase at a movement of a cooling emulsion in a turbulent regime was carried out. We considered a general model of a drop fragmentation into the emulsion volume by turbulent pulsations of the flow in view of the presence of an excess heat energy in it. Conditions when an effect of the overheating the disperse phase exerts a maximum resistant size of a drop relative to the fragmentation were determined.     

Functionalized chloroenamines in aminocyclopropane synthesis - VI. Chlorotetrahydropyridines as a basis for the synthesis of 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0.]hexane derivatives

Enamines 8a-e could be chlorinated by equimolar amounts of N-chlorosuccinimide (9) generating monochloroenamines 10a-e; 10a and 10d were isolated as pure substances. Two equivalents of 9 afforded the dichloroenamines 12a,c from 8a,c. Interaction of the chlorinated enamines 10a-e and 12a,c with cyanide gave morpholino-azabicyclohexane derivatives. 10a-d, thereby, led to exo-cyano-isomers lla-c; 12a,c generated endo-cyano compounds 13a,c. In the case of the ethoxycarbonylated chloroenamine 10e a mixture of diastereomeric products 11e and 14e resulted from the analogous reaction. Reduction of 11a and 14e with lithium aluminum hydride produced a pair of diastereomeric triamines 15 and 16. A tricyclic diazasystem 19 was formed from the reaction of cyanide with the carbamoylated chloroenamine 18. Monochloroenamine 10a and dichloroenamine 12a showed a significant mutagenic behaviour in the Ames test.     

Production of a positron microprobe using a transmission remoderator.

A production method for a positron microprobe using a beta+-decay radioisotope (22Na) source has been investigated. When a magnetically guided positron beam was extracted from the magnetic field, the combination of an extraction coil and a magnetic lens enabled us to focus the positron beam by a factor of 10 and to achieve a high transport efficiency (71%). A 150-nm-thick Ni(100) thin film was mounted at the focal point of the magnetic lens and was used as a remoderator for brightness enhancement in a transmission geometry. The remoderated positrons were accelerated by an electrostatic lens and focused on the target by an objective magnetic lens. As a result, a 4-mm-diameter positron beam could be transformed into a microprobe of 60 microm or less with 4.2% total efficiency. The S parameter profile obtained by a single-line scan of a test specimen coincided well with the defect distribution. This technique for a positron microprobe is available to an accelerator-based high-intensity positron source and allows 3-dimensional vacancy-type defect analysis and a positron source for a transmission positron microscope.     

Polarization curve of partially degraded catalyst layer

A model of a partially degraded catalyst layer (CL) in a fuel cell is reported. The degradation is modeled as a lowering of the exchange current density in a sub-layer at the membrane/CL interface. Degradation of 30 to 40% of the CL thickness may dramatically increase the polarization voltage. At a large current density, the voltage loss in such a two-layer system is close to the loss in a fully degraded CL. Estimates of this effect for a PEMFC cathode and a DMFC anode are performed.     

Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XVIII. Monoacetyl- und Diacetylphosphan

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines. XVIII. Monoacetyl- and Diacetylphosphine When triacetylphosphine 3a is treated with methanol 4 or benzyl alcohol 6 P? C(O) bonds are cleaved and a mixture of diacetyl- 2a and monoacetylphosphine 1a is formed. The thermally labile phosphine 1a decomposes completely within a few hours at +20°C; but 2a also reacts slowly within days to give triacetylphosphine 3a and further unknown compounds. As it is found by nmr-spectroscopic studies the acidic hydrogen atoms of monoacetylphosphine 1a are both bound to phosphorus. In liquid diacetylphosphine 2a or in solutions of this compound, However, there exists an equilibrium between the keto tautomer K- 2a with a PH and the enol tautomer E- 2a with an O? H? O group; compared with pentane-2,4-dione 8a the keto tautomerpredo minates in 2a . As in 1,3-diketones a low temperature and a small dielectric constant of the solvent increase the amount of enol tautomer E- 2a present. The ¹H-nmr resonance of the enolic hydrogen atom is observed at very low field (δ = 18,3 ppm).     

A generalization of the method of stimulated emission pumping

Drawing on the results of an analysis of the nature of the pulse that generates complete transfer of population from one to another level in a system with a discrete spectrum, a generalization of the method of stimulated emission pumping is proposed. It is shown that a small subset of the Fourier components of the optimal pulse will, if their relative amplitudes are the same as in the optimal pulse, generate almost as efficient a population transfer, thereby generating the opportunity to prepare a system in a selected state with a selected population.     

Relative pKa values from first-principles molecular dynamics: the case of histidine deprotonation

Accurate calculation of pK(a) values and free energies for acid/base reactions in the condensed phase has been a long-standing goal of theoretical chemistry. We present a novel application of the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics method to the problem of relative pK(a) determination. As a particular example, we focus on the second stage in the dissociation of histidine, a process that holds special importance for biology. Using constrained molecular dynamics, we have analyzed the structural, electronic, and dynamical transformations taking place along a preselected, intuitive reaction coordinate. By integrating the potentials of mean force for the deprotonation of histidine and for a reference reaction, autodissociation of water, we obtain a pK(a) value of 6.8, which appears to be in good agreement with the experimental estimate of 6.1. Detailed analysis was undertaken to determine the value of the constraint, which transformed the N*-H* from a covalent to a hydrogen bond. This helped to identify a number of properties that could be successfully used in monitoring the dissociation process. Additional analysis in terms of electron localization functions provided valuable insight into the nature of the deprotonation reaction.
