Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is used to study the intra- and intermolecular vibrational modes of aromatic carboxylic acids, for example, o-phthalic acid, benzoic acid, and salicylic acid, which form either intra- or intermolecular hydrogen bond(s) in different ways. Incorporating the target molecules in nano-sized spaces in mesoporous silicate (SBA-16) is found to be effective f...

This study investigates propagation of mode I crack in B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers by fracture mechanics approach. A new experimental analysis is done for notched B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers with Replica test and image analysis. A scanning electron microscope test (SEM) and an image analysis are applied for the Replica test in order to determine crack length and crack mouth openin...

the crystal structure of the title schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal x-ray diffraction data.the solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(ii) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. the crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.

The biotin switch assay for detection of protein S-nitrosation has been widely used in the field of nitric oxide and redox signaling. However, here we found that there is experimental and theoretical interference of intermolecular disulfide bonds in S-nitrosated protein identification with avidin purification after biotin switch method: proteins linked to S-nitrosated proteins by intermolecular...

Intermolecular connections play a crucial role in biology (recognition, signalling, binding), in physics (material cohesion) and in chemistry ((supra)molecular engineering). While a phenomenological thermodynamic free-energy approach for modelling self-assemblies is now at hand, a more satisfying description based on the chemically-intuitive enthalpic and entropic contributions remains elusive....

The X-ray crystal and molecular structure of 3,N4-ethenocytidine (comes from Cyd) has been solved and refined on counter data to R = 0.038. A detailed discussion of the base electronic structure, molecular conformation and intermolecular interactions is the starting point for a comparative analysis of the series: Cyd, epsilon Cyd, Cyd . HCll and epsilon Cyd . HCl. Protonation changes the base e...

The formation of intermolecular bonds in C₆₀ has been investigated in detail at pressures below 2.2 GPa and up to 750 K. Fullerene samples were heated in a temperature gradient to obtain data on the formation of dimers and low-dimensional polymers along isobars. Intermolecular bonding was analyzed ex situ by Raman scattering, using both intramolecular modes and intermolecular stretching modes. ...
