Liquid Crystalline Polymeric Complexes Built through Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding.

Polymeric Dopant Effects of Bent-Core Covalent-Bonded and Hydrogen- Bonded Structures on Banana-Shaped Liquid Crystalline Complexes

Two series of banana-shaped liquid crystalline (LC) H-bonded complexes HPm/CBn (i.e., bent-core H-bonded sidechain homopolymer HP mixed with bent-core covalent-bonded small molecule CB) and CPm/HBn (i.e., bent-core covalent-bonded side-chain homopolymer CP mixed with bent-core H-bonded small molecular complex HB) with various m/n molar ratios were developed. The bent-core covalentand H-bonded s...

Computational study of three dimensional potential energy surfaces in intermolecular hydrogen bonding of cis-urocanic acid

Combined electrostatics and hydrogen bonding determine intermolecular interactions between polyphosphoinositides.

Membrane lipids are active contributors to cell function as key mediators in signaling pathways controlling cell functions including inflammation, apoptosis, migration, and proliferation. Recent work on multimolecular lipid structures suggests a critical role for lipid organization in regulating the function of both lipids and proteins. Of particular interest in this context are the polyphospho...

Spin Transfer through Hydrogen Bonding

A polarised-neutron diffraction experiment on [Co(NH3)5(H20)][Cr(CN)6] shows the unexpected features of spin populat ions on the cobalt ((0.5(2) e) and the "ammine" hydrogen (0.8(1) e in total) atoms. A local density approximation DV-Xa calculation on a unit that models the molecular geometry in the crystal returns features that are broadly in agreement with the experiment. The calculation also...
