The isotope effects of neodymium in Nd-glycolate ligand exchange system were studied by using ion exchange chromatography. The separation coefficients of neodymium isotopes, ε's, were calculated from the observed isotopic ratios at the front and rear boundaries of the neodymium adsorption band. The values of separation coefficients of neodymium isotopes, ε's, for the Nd-glycolate ligand exchang...

Biological processes are the result of noncovalent, protein-ligand interactions, where the ligands range from small organic and inorganic molecules to lipids, nucleic acids, peptides, and proteins. Amide groups within proteins constantly exchange protons with water. When immersed in heavy water (D2O), mass spectrometry (MS) can measure the change of mass associated with the hydrogen to deuteriu...

Visible spectrophotometry is used to study the kinetic of ligand exchange in the system Cu(salpn)/H2salen with or without triethylamine (NEt3) and H2O in acetonitrile solvent at 25 ± 0.1°C and 0.01 M NaNO3 (H2salen and H2salpn are N,N'-ethylen-bis(salicylaldimine) and N,N'-propylen-bis(salicylaldimine), respectively). It is found that the reaction rate is first-order with respect to Cu(salpn). ...

Two main synthetic strategies are used to prepare conjugated oligomer- or polymer-nanocrystal nanohybrids. In the first strategy ligand exchange is invoked to either replace with a bifunctional ligand, which contains a second functional group for coupling with conjugated oligomers or polymers (COs or CPs), or exchange for the functionalized COs or CPs in a "grafting-onto" process. Alternatively...

Transition-metal complexes bearing labile ligands can be difficult to isolate and study in solution because of unwanted dinucleation or ligand substitution reactions. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a unique matrix that allows site isolation stabilization well-defined transition-metal may importance as moieties for gas adsorption catalysis. Herein we report the development an situ anion...

In this work, we employed a convenient one-step synthesis method for synthesizing Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) nanocrystals (NCs) in an excess selenium environment. This excess selenium situation enhanced the reaction of metal acetylacetonates with selenium, resulting in the burst nucleation of NCs at relatively low temperatures. The phase morphology and surface and optoelectronic properties of NCs befor...
