Trapping atoms using nanoscale quantum vacuum forces
Quantum vacuum forces dictate the interaction between individual atoms and dielectric surfaces at nanoscale distances. For example, their large strengths typically overwhelm externally applied forces, which makes it challenging to controllably interface cold atoms with nearby nanophotonic systems. Here we theoretically show that it is possible to tailor the vacuum forces themselves to provide s...
متن کاملCrowning Proteins: Modulating the Protein Surface Properties using Crown Ethers**
Crown ethers are small, cyclic polyethers that have found wide-spread use in phase-transfer catalysis and, to a certain degree, in protein chemistry. Crown ethers readily bind metallic and organic cations, including positively charged amino acid side chains. We elucidated the crystal structures of several protein-crown ether co-crystals grown in the presence of 18-crown-6. We then employed biop...
متن کاملLiquid crystalline crown ethers.
In this chapter, a comprehensive review over the entire reserarch on liquid crystalline crown ethers since their discovery will be given. Monomeric and polymeric molecules containing crown ethers as well as aza crown ethers, thia crown ethers and crown ethers with several different heteroatoms will be presented. Liquid crystallinity is, in most cases, caused by the substituents attached to the ...
متن کاملCrown Ethers in Enantioselective Synthesis
A number of new chiral crown compounds and lariat ethers have been synthesized starting from phenyl-D-glucopyranoside, methyl-D-glucopyranoside and galactopyranoside, methyl-D-mannopyranoside and 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-mannitol, but the main emphasis was laid on their application. Some of the sugar-based macrocycles showed significant asymmetric induction as phase transfer catalysts in l...
متن کاملThe discovery of crown ethers.
The discovery of the crown ethers stemmed from efforts to control the catalytic activity of vanadium and copper by complexation with multidentate ligands. The first crown ether, 2,3,11,12-dibenzo-1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclo-octadeca-2,11-diene, was obtained in 0.4% yield during an attempt to prepare a phenolic ligand from catechol and bis(2-chloroethyl)ether. This compound, which complexed with...
