Dye-sensitized nanocrystalline rutile TiO2 solar cells were prepared, and the influence of Li and 1,2-dimethyl3-hexyl imidazolium ions in the electrolyte on the photovoltaic properties was compared. The electrolyte containing Li ions produced a lower open-circuit photovoltage than the electrolyte with 1,2-dimethyl-3-hexyl imidazolium ions, suggesting that the adsorption of Li ions to the rutile...

In the title compound, C14H16ClNO2, the cyclo-hexyl ring has a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the mean plane of the four planar C atoms of the cyclo-hexyl ring is 45.2 (3)°. The two carbonyl groups are trans to one another, with an O=C-C=O torsion angle of -137.1 (3)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains propagating a...

In the title mol-ecule, C15H20N4OS2, the acetamido fragment is nearly coplanar with the pyridyl ring [C-N-C-C torsion angle = -4.1 (2)°], while the cyclo-hexyl-sulfanyl portion protrudes from this plane [N-C-C-S torsion angle = -40.8 (6)°]. In the crystal, alternating pairwise N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds across inversion centres form chains along [101], which are associated into stepped laye...

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oil crops in China as well as worldwide. Branch angle as a plant architecture component trait plays an important role for high density planting and yield performance. In this study, bulked segregant analysis (BSA) combined with next generation sequencing technology was used to fine map QTL for branch angle. A major QTL, designated as...

Diaminosilanes (CH3)2Si(NHR)2 1a, b are obtained from dichlorodimethylsilane and primary amines (R = n-hexyl, iso-propyl) in good yields. Bis-insertion of CO2 into the Si–N bonds of the aminosilanes quantitatively gives the silylcarbamates (CH3)2Si(OCONHR)2, 2a, b. Oligoand polydimethylsiloxanes 3a, b as well as N,N′-substituted ureas CO(NHR)2 4a, b are formed upon heating the silylcarbamates 2...

The title compound, [RuCl2(η(6)-C6H6)(C12H22ClP)]·CHCl3, was prepared by reaction of [RuCl2(η(6)-C6H6)]2 with chloro-dicyclo-hexyl-phosphane in CHCl3 at 323 K under argon. The Ru(II) atom is surrounded by one arene ligand, two Cl atoms and a phosphane ligand in a piano-stool geometry. The phosphane ligand is linked by the P atom, with an Ru-P bond length of 2.3247 (4) Å. Both cyclo-hexyl rings ...

Synaptotagmin is a synaptic vesicle membrane protein which changes conformation upon Ca(2+) binding and triggers the fast neuroexocytosis that takes place at synapses. We have synthesized a series of peptides corresponding to the sequence of the cytosolic juxtamembrane domain of synaptotagmin, which is highly conserved among different isoforms and animal species, with or without either a hexyl ...
