Isophthalamides and 2,6-dicarboxamidopyridines with pendant indole groups: a 'twisted' binding mode for selective fluoride recognition

Two cleft-like anion receptors have been synthesised that contain indole hydrogen-bond donors and show fluoride selectively in a DMSO-water solution with crystallographic studies showing a 'twisted' binding mode for fluoride in the solid state.     

Acridinone-based anion receptors and sensors

The interaction of a variety of acridinone derivatives containing hydrogen-bond donor groups in the 4- and 5-positions with anions demonstrate the potential of this new scaffold in anion receptor and sensor design.     

Microcanonical statistical study of ortho-para conversion in the reaction H3+ + H2-->(H5+)*-->H3+ + H2 at very low energies

The ortho-para conversion of H(3) (+) and H(2) in the reaction H(3) (+)+H(2)-->(H(5) (+))(*)-->H(3) (+)+H(2) in interstellar space is possible by scrambling the five protons via (H(5) (+))(*) complex formation. The product distribution of the ortho-para conversion reaction can be given by ratios of cumulative reaction probabilities (CRP) calculated by microcanonical statistical theory with conservation of energy, motional angular momentum, nuclear spin, and parity. A statistical method to calculate the state-to-state reaction probabilities for given initial nuclear spin species, rotational states, and collision energies is developed using a simple semiclassical approximation of tunneling and above-barrier reflection. A new calculation method of branching ratios for given total nuclear spins and scrambling mechanisms is also developed. The anisotropic long-range electrostatic interaction potential of H(2) in the Coulomb field of H(3) (+) is taken into account using the first-order perturbation theory in forming the complex. The CRPs and the product distribution of the ortho-para conversion reaction at very low energies with reactants in their ground vibronic and lowest rotational states for given initial nuclear spin species are presented as a function of collision energy assuming complete proton scrambling or incomplete proton scrambling. The authors show that the product distribution at very low energies (or very low temperatures) differs substantially from the high energy (or high temperature) limit branching ratios.

Large-pitch kagome-structured hollow-core photonic crystal fiber

We report the fabrication and characterization of a new type of hollow-core photonic crystal fiber based on large-pitch (approximately 12 microm) kagome lattice cladding. The optical characteristics of the 19-cell, 7-cell, and single-cell core defect fibers include broad optical transmission bands covering the visible and near-IR parts of the spectrum with relatively low loss and low chromatic dispersion, no detectable surface modes and high confinement of light in the core. Various applications of such a novel fiber are also discussed, including gas sensing, quantum optics, and high harmonic generation.     

Vibrational energy levels of ozone up to dissociation revisited

Two recent papers presented calculations of the highly excited vibrational states of ozone. The nature and energies of these states may hold the key to the anomalous isotopic distribution of ozone in the atmosphere. Even though the same potential energy surface of Babikov et al. was used in both calculations, the number of bound van der Waals states reported below dissociation differed significantly. In order to resolve the issue we present here the results of an independent computation of all the bound vibrational states of (16)O(16)O(16)O and (16)O(16)O(18)O up to dissociation. Our methods differ from both earlier calculations since we use hyperspherical coordinates and a direct product discrete variable representation of the Hamiltonian. The results of present work support the existence of several van der Waals states for J=0 on this potential energy surface.     

On the quantum momentum method for the exact solution of separale multiple well bound state and scattering problems

A simple method is suggested for the convenient application of Milne's method of solution of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation to multiple well potentials. The method involves the introduction of “quantum momentum” functions which resemble the classical momentum over each “well”. The wavefunction is matched at intermediate point between the “wells”, and the quantization requirements are determined. The double oscillator and scattering by spherically symmetric potentials are cited as applications.
