The use of decatungstate in combination with silanes to generate silyl radicals under green fluorescence bulb irradiation as well as sunlight exposure is described. The mechanisms are investigated by ESR and laser flash photolysis experiments. The high potential of this reaction is evidenced here when using a decatungstate/silane/diphenyl iodonium salt combination as an initiating system for the ring opening photopolymerization of epoxides.
DUV interferometric lithography and diblock copolymer self‐organization have successfully been combined to provide a simple and highly collective nanopatterning technique enabling the organization of nanoparticles over several orders of magnitude, from nanometre to millimetre. The nanostructural changes at the surface of the polymer film after thermal annealing have been monitored by AFM and the process parameters optimized for obtaining a long‐range organization of the lamellar domains. In particular, the impact of the annealing conditions and geometric parameters of the substrate patterns have been investigated. The nanopatterns resulting from the lamellar demixion of (PS‐b‐MMA) were used for a controlled deposition of nanoparticles. The affinity of the hydrophobic particles for the PS block was demonstrated, opening new doors towards the preparation of high‐density arrays of nanoparticles with potential applications in data storage.
New polyesters incorporating a variable quantity of imidazolium rings along the backbone are synthesized by Huisgen 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition (“click” reaction). Subsequently, the imidazolium‐grafted copolymers reveal an efficient dispersing ability toward the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through supramolecular interactions in organic media. Interestingly, these compounds offer a simple and reliable strategy to control the quantity of dispersed CNTs as a function of imidazolium content. This approach is particularly suitable for the elaboration of biosourced and biodegradable materials based on poly(butylene succinate) with high‐performance properties. 相似文献
Silica‐supported titanium(IV) chloride is readily reduced by Mashima and co‐workers' reagent (1‐methyl‐3,6‐bis(trimethylsilyl)‐1,4‐cyclohexadiene) to afford materials active in ethylene polymerisation without need of aluminum alkyl cocatalyst. 相似文献
From the defining exchange relations of the
elliptic quantum algebra, we construct subalgebras which can be characterized as q-deformed WN algebras. The consistency conditions relating the parameters p, q, N and the central charge c are shown to be related to the singularity structure of the functional coefficients defining the exchange relations of specific
vertex operators representations of

The continuous Hull of a repetitive tiling T in ℝd with the Finite Pattern Condition (FPC) inherits a minimal ℝd-lamination structure with flat leaves and a transversal which is a Cantor set. This class of tiling includes the Penrose & the Amman Benkker ones in 2D, as well as the icosahedral tilings in 3D. We show that the continuous Hull, with its canonical ℝd-action, can be seen as the projective limit of a suitable sequence of branched, oriented and flat compact d-manifolds. As a consequence, the longitudinal cohomology and the K-theory of the corresponding C*-algebra are obtained as direct limits of cohomology and K-theory of ordinary manifolds. Moreover, the space of invariant finite positive measures can be identified with a cone in
the dth homology group canonically associated with the orientation of ℝd. At last, the gap labeling theorem holds: given an invariant ergodic probability measure μ on the Hull the corresponding Integrated Density of States (IDS) of any selfadjoint operators affiliated to takes on values on spectral gaps in the ℤ-module generated by the occurrence probabilities of finite patches in the tiling.

CHFClI is among the more favorable molecules for parity violation (PV) measurements in molecules. Despite the fact that calculated PV effects are two orders of magnitude smaller than in some organometallic compounds, CHFClI displays interesting features which could make possible a new experimental PV test on this molecule. Indeed, ultrahigh resolution spectroscopy using an ultrastable CO(2) laser is favored by several intrinsic properties of this molecule. For example, the high vapor pressure of CHFClI allows investigation by supersonic beam spectroscopy. Indeed, the spectroscopic constants have been accurately determined by microwave and millimetre wave spectroscopy. This is important for the subsequent selection of an appropriate absorption band of CHFClI that could be brought to co?ncide with the absorption of CO(2). Partially resolved (+)- and (-)-CHFClI enantiomers with respectively 63.3 and 20.5% ee's have been recently prepared and analyzed by molecular recognition using chiral hosts called cryptophanes. Finally, the S-(+)/R-(-) absolute configuration was ascertained by vibrational circular dichro?sm (VCD) in the gas phase. 相似文献
An intrastrand cross-link lesion, in which two neighboring nucleobases are covalently tethered, has been site-specifically synthesized into defined sequence oligonucleotides in order to perform in vitro replication studies using either bacterial replicative or translesional synthesis polymerases. The investigated tandem base lesion that involves a cross-link between the methylene group of thymine and the C8 of an adjacent guanine residue has been prepared by UV-photolysis under anaerobic condition of the photolabile precursor 5-(phenylthiomethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine that has been site-specifically incorporated into a 9-mer oligonucleotide. After ligation, the lesion-containing modified oligonucleotide was used as a DNA template in primer extension reactions catalyzed by several DNA polymerases including the fragment Klenow exo-(Kf-) of E. coli polymerase I, the Thermus aquaticus polymerase (Taq pol) and the E. coli translesional DNA polymerase Pol IV (dinB). It was found that the primer extension reaction was stopped after the incorporation of the correct nucleotide dAMP opposite the 3'-thymine residue of guanine(C8-CH2) thymine lesion by Kf- and Pol IV; however it was noted that the efficiency of the nucleotide incorporation was reduced. In contrast, the Taq polymerase was totally blocked at the nucleotide preceding the tandem lesion. These results are strongly suggestive that the present intrastrand cross-link lesion, if not repaired, would constitute a blocking lesion for prokaryotic DNA polymerases, being likely lethal for the cell. 相似文献
An injection molding process for the fabrication of disposable plastic microfluidic chips with a cycle time of 2 min has been designed, developed, and implemented. Of the sixteen commercially available grades of cyclo-olefin copolymer (COC) that were screened for autofluorescence and transparency to ultraviolet (UV) light, Topas 8007 x 10 was identified as the most suitable for production. A robust solid metal mold insert defining the microfluidic channels was rapidly microfabricated using a process that significantly reduces the time required for electroplating. No wear of the insert was observed even after over 1000 cycles. The chips were bonded by thermal fusion using different bonding conditions. Each condition was tested and its suitability evaluated by burst pressure measurements. The COC microfluidic chips feature novel, integrated, reversible, standardized, ready-to-use interconnects that enable operation at pressures up to 15.6 MPa, the highest value reported to date. The suitability of these UV transparent, high pressure-resistant, disposable devices was demonstrated by in situ preparation of a high surface area porous polymer monolith within the channels. 相似文献
