Metastable [M H]+ ions of a,o-diphenylalkanes C,H,(CH,),C,H, where x = 3-6 (structures 3-6 respectively), generated by hydride abstraction in the chemical ionization (i-butane) source, eliminate benzene after proton exchange between the aromatic rings. The proton exchange is slow for ions [3 H]+ and [4 HI+, but fast and apparently complete for ions [S H]+ and [6 H]+ These observations, combined...

We report a general strategy for synthesis of a large variety of metal oxide nanoparticles on different carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), including single-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and a few-layer graphene. The approach was based on the π-π interaction between CNMs and modified aromatic organic ligands, which acted as bridges connecting metal ions and CNMs. Our methods ...

The interactions between model polyanions and polycations have been studied using frontal continuous capillary electrophoresis (FACCE) which allows the determination of binding stoichiometry and binding constant of the formed polyelectrolyte complex (PEC). In this work, the effect of the poly(L-lysine) (PLL) molar mass on the interaction with statistical copolymers of acrylamide and 2-acrylamid...

BACKGROUND Lewis Y (Le(y)) is a blood group-related carbohydrate that is expressed at high surface densities on the majority of epithelial carcinomas and is a promising target for antibody-based immunotherapy. A humanized Le(y)-specific antibody (hu3S193) has shown encouraging safety, pharmacokinetic and tumor-targeting properties in recently completed Phase I clinical trials. METHODOLOGY/PRI...

Hydrogelation behavior of two amino-terpyridine ligands in the presence of divalent metal ions in water was studied in detail. The effect of ligand structure and different counter anions on the gel morphologies was also explored.

The principles involved in the selection of solvents and the use of counter ions, together with the choice of column, for the separation of phospholipids by highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are described.

Threshold collision-induced dissociation of M(+)(AAA) with Xe is studied using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry. M(+) include the alkali metal ions Na(+) and K(+). The three aromatic amino acids are examined, AAA = phenylalanine, tyrosine, or tryptophan. In all cases, endothermic loss of the intact aromatic amino acid is the dominant reaction pathway. The threshold regions of the cross ...

The large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules coronene, benzo[GHI]perylene, and anthracene have been ionized with femtosecond laser pulses at low laser intensities and the ionization process studied with velocity map imaging spectroscopy, supplemented with ion yield measurements. The electron spectra of coronene and benzo[GHI]perylene are structureless. Based on fluence and pulse duration...

often an important process in industry and chemical analysis. Liquid-membrane transport in which the extraction and stripping operations are combined in a single process reduces the solvent inventory requirement, and also allows the use of expensive and highly selective extractions, which otherwise would be uneconomic in solvent extractants. For these reasons, liquid-membrane transport has attr...

We have firstly demonstrated the dual facet of gold(III) in the reaction between gold(III) and porphyrins, which could be tuned through changing the counter ions, ligands and the electronic effect of the substituents of the porphyrins.
