Bitumen emulsions (BE) are widely used in road construction, for building and structure waterproofing. Storage stability is one of the main BE requirements. They should only break on contact with surface. The sodium oleate effect as a surfactant anionic bitumen waterproofing purposes has been studied. increased storage have developed. optimal content oleate, providing high complex emulsion resu...

We developed novel gene vectors composed of dendrigraft poly-L-lysine (DGL). The transgene expression efficiency of the pDNA/DGL complexes (DGL complexes) was markedly higher than that of the control pDNA/poly-L-lysine complex. However, the DGL complexes caused cytotoxicity and erythrocyte agglutination at high doses. Therefore, γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA), which is a biodegradable anionic poly...

The reaction of bis-(anthracene)cobaltate(-I) with excess cyclo-hepta-triene, C7H8, resulted in a new 18-electron cobaltate containing two different seven-membered ring ligands, based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The asymmetric unit of this structure contains two independent cation-anion pairs of the title complex, [K(18-crown-6)][Co(η(3)-C7H7)(η(5)-C7H9)], where 18-crown-6 stands for 1...

Tricarbonylchromium complexes of benzocyclobutenone, benzocyclobutenedione, and 1,3-indandione are readily prepared by hydrolysis of the complexes of the corresponding acetals. Reduction of the benzocyclobutenone complex gives rise to an oxyanion-driven ring opening to the corresponding ortho-quinodimethane intermediate, which can be trapped with dienophiles. Addition of 1-ethoxy-1-lithioethene...

Anionic phospholipids are largely absent from the external leaflet of the plasma membrane of mammalian cells under normal conditions. Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the cell surface occurs during apoptosis, necrosis, cell injury, cell activation, and malignant transformation. In the present study, we determined whether anionic phospholipids become exposed on tumor vasculature. A monoclonal a...

This work focuses on studying a novel polymer/nanocrystal multilayer for the fabrication of donor and accepter typed photovoltaic device. Highly luminescent anionic CdTe nanocrystals were prepared by aqueous synthesis method using 3-mercaptopropionic acid as stabilizer. The resultant CdTe served as electron acceptor and poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) was used as electron donor. Through the el...
