Structure of inorganic free molecules

Organic molecules on inorganic surfaces.

Field-free orientation of molecules.

We consider impulsive excitation of a linear polar molecule by a plane polarized electromagnetic "half-cycle" pulse in the terahertz range. A rotational wave packet is created with angular momentum states of different parity. The time evolution of the wave packet corresponds to alternating molecular orientations with respect to the polarization axis of the field. This field-free time-dependent ...

Structure of diatomic molecules

Molecules are of course atoms that are held together by shared valence electrons. That is, most of each atom is pretty much as it would be if the atom were isolated, but one or a few electrons are located in regions (for example, between two atomic cores) where they lead to an overall attractive e®ect. To see roughly how this works, you might consider the case of two protons and two electrons a...

[Activation of cellular defense mechanism by organic-inorganic hybrid molecules].

Organic-inorganic hybrid molecules can exhibit biological activities by controlling the activities of their individual components. These molecules can be applied as seed/lead compounds in drug development, and can be used as molecular probes in chemical biology for the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of biological systems. In this review, we introduce copper diethyldithiocarbamate (Cu10...

Label-free catalytic and molecular beacon containing an abasic site for sensitive fluorescent detection of small inorganic and organic molecules.

In this work, two methods with complementary features, catalytic and molecular beacon (CAMB) and label-free fluorescent sensors using an abasic site, have been combined into new label-free CAMB sensors that possess advantages of each method. The label-free method using a dSpacer-containing molecular beacon makes CAMB more cost-effective and less interfering with the catalytic activity, while CA...
