Electronic absorption spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2021)
Absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared (UV-VIS-NIR) wavelength ranges is one of the oldest and most often used characterization methods in coordination chemistry. This overview illustrates ...
Time-dependent theory of electronic spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2021)
The time-dependent theory of electronic spectroscopy provides an intuitive approach to understand and quantitatively analyze absorption, luminescence and resonance Raman spectra beyond vertical transition energies. The ...
Near-infrared vibrational overtone spectra of teepleite, Na2B(OH)4Cl, and its deutero analog : research report
(2021-12-05)
Single crystals of the naturally occurring mineral teepleite, Na2B(OH)4Cl, and its deuterated
analog were grown and their polarized near-infrared absorption spectra recorded at 10 K. The
spectra show three intense, sharp ...
Highly active, entirely biobased antimicrobial Pickering emulsions
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)
We present the development of surfactant‐free, silica‐free and fully biobased oil‐in‐water antimicrobial Pickering emulsions, based on the self‐assembly of b ‐cyclodextrin and phytoantimicrobial oils (terpinen‐4‐ol or ...
Azobenzene molecular glasses with tuned glass transition temperatures : from optimal light‐induced motion to self‐erasable gratings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-04-01)
The rate of photomechanical formation of surface relief gratings (SRG) in thin films of azobenzene materials depends on their glass transition temperature (Tg), with an optimal Tg around 50–60 °C yielding the fastest SRG ...
Molecular-level photo-orientation insights into macroscopic photo-induced motion in azobenzene-containing polymer complexes
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-13)
As part of continuing efforts to deepen the understanding of photo-induced mass transport in azo-containing polymers, we compared the diffraction efficiency (DE) during surface-relief grating (SRG) inscription, photo-induced ...
Glass engineering of aminotriazine-based materials with sub-ambient Tg and high kinetic stability
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-06-08)
A challenge in glass engineering is the design of molecular glasses combining a high glass kinetic stability (GS) of the
amorphous phase with a low (sub‐ambient) glass transition temperature ...
On the importance of noncrystalline phases in semicrystalline electrospun nanofibers
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-18)
Tailoring the properties of electrospun fibers requires a detailed understanding and control of their microstructure. We investigate the structure/property relationships in fabrics of randomly aligned fibers of polylactide, ...
Effect of hydrogen-bond strength on photoresponsive properties of polymer-azobenzene complexes
(NRC Research Press & Canadian Society for Chemistry, 2020-04-16)
Supramolecular complexation between photoresponsive azobenzene chromophores and a photopassive polymer host offers synthetic and design advantages compared with conventional covalent azo-containing polymers. In this context, ...
Electrospinning of highly crystalline polymers for strongly oriented fibers
(American Chemical Society, 2020-09-23)
Electrospun nanofibers (NFs) often demonstrate an exponential increase in mechanical and other properties at reduced diameters. Molecular orientation emerges as a key parameter for the performance of amorphous and low ...
