Supported metals are traditionally prepared by impregnating a support material with the metal precursor solution, followed by reduction in hydrogen at elevated temperatures. In this study, a polymeric support has been considered. Polypyrrole (PPy) has been chemically synthesized using FeCl3 ...

Kinetic Isotope effects (KIEs) have long served as a probe for the mechanisms of both enzymatic and solution reactions. Here, we discuss various models for the physical sources of KIEs, how experimentalists can use those models to interpret their data, and how the focus of traditional models ...

We demonstrate that supramolecular assembly and subsequent enhancement of charge transport characteristics of conjugated polymers can be facilitated simply by adding small amounts of a more volatile poor solvent, which can hydrogen bond with the majority solvent. Addition of up to 2 vol % ...

In order to scrutinize potential of trialkoxysilanes to form close-packed monolayer, surface modification of silicon oxide was carried out with the trialkoxysilanes bearing a ferrocene moiety for analysis by electrochemical methods. As it was found that hydrogen-terminated silicon reacts with ...

Self-assembled structures such as nanotubes, nanobelts, nanofibers, and nanovesicles of surfactant-like peptides were obtained in water because of electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and/or other weak interactions between peptide molecules. In this paper, we ...

Tetrazoles are potent anion binders. We report here a new family of tetrazole–pyrrole–amide hosts that arise when a tetrazole is incorporated as a new binding element alongside the well-known amidopyrrole anion-binding scaffold. In addition to reporting three new, modular synthetic routes ...
