DFT Study of Metal Atoms Adsorbed at Low-coordinated Sites of MgO （001） Surface

1 INTRODUCTION The interfaces between metals and oxide play a vital role in many industrial applications: hetero- geneous catalysis, microelectronics, thermal barriers, corrosion protection, metal processing and so on[1]. In catalysis, the choice of metal and oxide support is critical in order to obtain a desired reactivity and selectivity[2]. This is due in part to the inherent reac- tivity of the two components. Also the size and shape of the metal particle, which depend on the choice…     

Friction coefficients of spheres having sticky or hairy surfaces

The theoretical equations for friction coefficients of spheres having sticky or hairy surfaces are presented. In the present treatment, the sticky surface is represented by a higher viscosity of fluid in the surface layer and the hairy surface is assumed to have a porous structure. The friction coefficients are given as functions of the thickness of the surface layer, the fluid viscosity in the surface layer and the segmental density of hairy chains.     

Adsorption of ionic surfactants on polar surfaces with a low content of chemically adsorbed alkyl chains

Colloidal silica and titanium dioxide were surface-modified by chemisorption of octadecyl dimethylmethoxy silane. The surface density of these alkyl silane groups was adjusted to less than 7% of the available surface hydroxyls, leaving the adsorbents hydrophilic and electrically charged in aqueous solution.Ionic surfactants (tetradecylpyridinium chloride and sodium lauryl sulfate) are adsorbed onto the surface-modified silica and titanium dioxide from aqueous solution, even in the case where the surface of the adsorbents exhibits the same sign of electrical charge as the surfactant ionic head groups. According to the adsorption model of Gu the chemiadsorbed alkyl chains are supposed to serve as anchors for small surface aggregates of the ionic surfactants.

Preparation, ¹¹B NMR, Vibrational Spectra, and Crystal Structure of [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][1-(O₂N)B₁₀H₉] By reaction of [B₁₀H₁₀]^2? in aqueous acetonitrile with a saturated solution of NO₂ in dichloromethane [1-(O₂N) · B₁₀H₉]^2? and [B₁₀H₉(NO)B₁₀H₉]^3? are formed which can be separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl(DEAE) cellulose from the starting compound. The X-ray structure determination of [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][1-(O₂N)B₁₀H₉] (triclinic, space group P1 , a = 7.1530(9), b = 8.3753(8), c = 15.198(2) Å, α = 96.00(1), β = 95.48(1), γ = 95.60(1)°, Z = 2) reveals the coordination of the NO₂ group via N with a B1? N distance of 1.535(5) Å and an O2? N? O1 angle of 119.3(3)°. The ¹¹B NMR spectrum exhibits the characteristic feature (1 : 1 : 4 : 4) of an apical monosubstituted B₁₀ cluster with a strong downfield shift of the ipso-B atom at +13.4 ppm. The IR and Raman spectra show strong NO stretching vibrations at 1381 und 1420 cm^?1.     

Surface-grafted polystyrene beads with comb-like poly(ethylene glycol) chains: preparation and biological application

We prepared surface-grafted polystyrene (PS) beads with comb-like poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains. To accomplish this, conventional gel-type PS beads (35-75 microm) were treated with ozone gas to introduce hydroperoxide groups onto the surface. Using these hydroperoxide groups, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA, Mn= 22,000-25,000) was grafted onto the surface of the PS beads. The ester groups of the grafted PMMA were reduced to hydroxyl groups with lithium aluminum hydride (LAH). After adding ethylene oxide (EO) to the hydroxyl groups, we obtained the PS-sg-PEG beads, which had a rugged surface and a diameter of 80-150 microm. We could obtain several kinds of the PS-sg-PEG beads by controlling the chain lengths of the grafted PMMA and the molecular weights of the PEG chains. The grafted PEG layer was about 30-50 microm thick, which was verified from the cross-sectioned views of the fluorescamine-labeled beads. These fluorescence images proved that the beads possessed a pellicular structure. Furthermore, we found that the surface-grafted PEG chains had the characteristic property of reducing non-specific protein adsorption on the beads.

Methyl methacrylate polymerization at samarium(II)-grafted MCM-41

Sm(II)-modified periodic mesoporous silica (PMS), Sm[N(SiHMe₂)₂]₂(THF)_x@MCM-41, was used for the synthesis of Sm(II) alkyl, alkoxide, and indenyl surface species via secondary ligand exchange. The performance of the novel Sm(II)-based organometallic–inorganic hybrid materials as initiators for the graft polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) is reported. All of the Sm(II) hybrid materials including the new PMMA–PMS composites were characterized via N₂ physisorption, elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The organic–inorganic composites revealed complete pore blockage as well as enrichment and strong adhesion of the polymer at the exterior of the porous silica material.     

Janoxepin and brevicompanine B: antiplasmodial metabolites from the fungus Aspergillus janus

Two compounds janoxepin (1) and brevicompanine B (2) were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus janus and the structures elucidated by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic methods and mass spectrometry. Janoxepin is a novel oxepin derivative with a rare d-leucine incorporated. Brevicompanine B has previously only been isolated from Penicillium brevicompactum. Both compounds were tested in antimicrobial assays and found to be active against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 (IC₅₀-values of 28 and 35 mg/ml, respectively). However, no activity was observed in antifungal or antibacterial assays.
