adsorption of co2 on the surface of single-wall zigzag (5,0) and armchair (4,4) carbon nanotubes (swcnts) were studied through using density functional theory (dft) calculations. optimizations of geometric were performed at the b3pw91 level of 6-311++g** method standard basis set using gaussian 03 package of program [1]. structural models were optimized and adsorption energies, band gap, charge...

to investigate non-bonded interaction of phenanthrene and bn nanostructure, geometric structure of phenanthrene and b12n12 nano-ring with b3lyp method and 6-31g* basis set are optimized by using ab initio gaussian quantum chemical package. the main purpose of this study was to evaluate changes of electronic properties of aromatic compound in presences nano ring field. therefore reactivity and s...

objective during the last three decades sesquiterpenoid lactones have emerged as one of the largest groups of plant products with over 3000 naturally occurring substances known. the genus artemisia characteristically contains this biologically active type of secondary metabolites. with respect to increasing interest in the cytotoxic, antibiotic, phototoxic and antineoplastic activities of sesqu...

Zinc and cadmium hexacyanocobaltates(III) were prepared, and their porous networks were explored using 129Xe spectroscopy. The crystal structures of these two compounds are representative of porous hexacyanometallates, cubic (Fm-3m) for cadmium and rhombohedral (R-3c) for zinc. In the cubic structure, the porosity is related to systematic vacancies created from the elemental building block (i.e...

An azacryptand has been solubilised in aqueous media containing 50% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide. (13)C-NMR has been used to determine how the azacryptand is affected by zinc binding at pH 10. Using (13)C-NMR and (13)C-enriched bicarbonate we have been able to observe the formation of 4 different carbamate derivatives of the azacryptand at pH 10. The azacryptand was shown to solubilise zinc or cad...

Recent studies have shown that ammonium langbeinites have low-temperature phase transitions uncharacteristic of the rest of the langbeinite family. In this study, proton NMR spin-lattice relaxation times Ti and spin-spin relaxation times T2 for powder samples of (NH4)2Mg2(S04)s are reported in the temperature range from 77 to 373 K. The ammonium ions occupy two different kinds of sites in the c...

The aim of this research was to verify the possibility of identifying and classifying maize seeds obtained from transgenic plants, in different classes according to the modification, on the basis of the concerted variation in metabolite levels detected by NMR spectra. It was possible to recognise the discriminant metabolites of transgenic samples as well as to classify non-a priori defined samp...
