The characterization of κ-carrageenan could provide a better understanding of its functions in biological, medical and industrial applications. Chemical and physical analyses of carrageenan from seaweeds, Euchema cottonii L., were done to offer information on its properties and the effects of Co-60 γ-irradiation on its thermochemical characteristics. The structural and morphological characteris...

Thermochemical reactions are under investigation for a wide variety of applications. However, the system two coupled gas-solid exchanging both thermal energy and gas solely with each other has not been investigated yet. This approach allows realizing compact thermochemical unit reservoirs at different pressure levels approximately same temperature. In this work, such is fundamentally analyzed i...

The structural, electronic, molecular and thermochemical properties of hypothetical [Tp(CO)2Mo≡C-Ph)]2+ (1) [Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl) borate] [L(CO)2Mo≡C-Ph)]+ (2) [L=hydrido 2-phenoxybis(pyrazolyl) carbyne complexes were investigated by quantum chemical calculations. optimized at B3LYP/LANL2DZ/6-31G(d) level. Structural parameters, vibration spectra, electronic spectra NMR computationally o...

The peculiar properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) make this material interesting for very different applications like light emitting diodes, lasers, and piezoelectric transducers. Most of these applications are based on epitaxial ZnO layers grown on suitable substrates, preferably bulk ZnO. Unfortunately the thermochemical properties of ZnO make the growth of single crystals difficult: the triple poi...

The structure and energetic properties of four common oxazine dyes, Nile red, Nile blue A, Cresyl violet, and Brilliant cresyl blue, have been probed using a combination of infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. IRMPD spectra of the protonated dyes, as generated from an electrospray ionization (ESI) source, were collected in the range of 90...
