Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are used in a variety of magnetic field-assisted chemical and medical applications, yet little of their fate during magnetic field interrogation is known. Here, fundamental and new insights in this are gained by cathodic particle coulometry. This methodology is used to study individual Fe3O4 NPs in the presence and absence of a magnetic field. It is first n...

Vibration-rotation and pure rotational data in the X2Σ+ ground state and electronic data from the A2Π – X2Σ+ and B2Σ+ − X2Σ+ transitions of CaH and CaD were used in the quantum-mechanical direct-potential-fit (DPF) analysis to determine an analytic potential energy function for the X2Σ+ ground state of CaH, and a radial correction function for the CaD isotopologue. The potential energy function...

Electrochemical behavior of acid orange 7 has been exhaustively studied in aqueous solutions with different pH values, using cyclic voltammetry and constant current coulometry. This study has provided new insights into the mechanistic details, pH dependence and intermediate structure of both electrochemical oxidation and reduction of acid orange 7. Surprisingly, the results indicate that a same...

Since electron-transfer reactions are so important in biological systems, information which can be obtained in respect to the energy levels (electrical potentials) and reaction pathways involved should be helpful in the understanding, control and utilization of such reactions. Polarographically determinded half-wave potentials ( and electrode reaction paths or mechanisms readily provide such da...

The cumulative reaction probability (CRP) (the Boltzmann average of which is the thermal rate constant) has been calculated for the reaction H,+OH++HzO+H in its full (six) dimensionality for total angular momentum J=O. The calculation, which should be the (numerically) exact result for the assumed potential energy surface, was carried out by a direct procedure that avoids having to solve the co...

The potential energy surface of the simplest carbohydrate, glycolaldehyde, was investigated at the secondorder Møller-Plesset (MP2) level of theory, and the rotation barriers between them were calculated. Four local minima and six transition states were found. Next, the conformational dependence of the indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants was studied by means of density functional theo...

The article entitled "Evaluation of the Analytical Performance of the Coulometry-Based Optium Omega Blood Glucose Meter", by Solnica and colleagues in this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology demonstrates that the Optium Omega blood glucose meter meets the analytical requirements for glucose meter performance and it is stated that the results are clinically useful. The authors s...
