Direct quantitative measurement of the C═O⋅⋅⋅H–C bond by atomic force microscopy
The hydrogen atom-the smallest and most abundant atom-is of utmost importance in physics and chemistry. Although many analysis methods have been applied to its study, direct observation of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule remains largely unexplored. We use atomic force microscopy (AFM) to resolve the outermost hydrogen atoms of propellane molecules via very weak C═O⋅⋅⋅H-C hydrogen bonding ju...
متن کاملDirect Force Measurement of Liposomes by Atomic Force Microscopy
Liposomes serve as models for cells and show increasing applications in medical and nonmedical fields. Unilamellar vesicles are prepared from multilamellar vesicle (MLV) dispersions either by sonication or extrusion. The shape stability of liposomes is important in the understanding of membrane fusion, as well as in drug delivery and gene therapy. Therefore it has been the subject of numerous t...
متن کاملBond-order discrimination by atomic force microscopy.
We show that the different bond orders of individual carbon-carbon bonds in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and fullerenes can be distinguished by noncontact atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a carbon monoxide (CO)-functionalized tip. We found two different contrast mechanisms, which were corroborated by density functional theory calculations: The greater electron density in bonds of higher b...
متن کاملDirect Force Measurement of Comb Silicone Surfactantsin Alcoholic Media by Atomic Force Microscopy
The interaction forces provided by silicone polyether (SPE) surfactants, adsorbed at the interface of octadecyltrichlorosilan monolayer and aqueous surfactant solution, were measured by atomic force microscopy. Changes in the forces in the presence of ethanol were examined for a series of comb-type SPE surfactants. It was found that the steric repulsion provided by the SPE molecules persisted u...
متن کاملDirect Visualization of Vesicle - Bilayer Complexes by Atomic Force Microscopy
Interactions between phospholipid vesicles and bilayers play a central role in cell physiology, enabling secretion, signaling, and intracellular transport. In many instances these processes require fusion between membranes. Considerable attention has been paid to acquiring the structural details of proteins that mediate fusion;1 however, less is known about the structure and organization of lip...
