TheMadelung constant is a key feature determining the lattice energy of a crystal structure and hence its stability. However, the complexity of the calculation hasmeant that it has previously not been readily available for complex structures, for example for organic salts. We propose a new robust method for calculating Madelung constants of such structures based on a generalized numerical direc...

Address correspondence to P.W. Carr. hen preparing binary eluents containing both an organic solvent and a buffer for a buffer reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC), one must know the solubility of the buffer in the organic cosolvent to avoid precipitation of the buffer salt. For example, one must know the highest percent organic cosolvent (that is, %B, v/v) in which a buffer salt remains s...

irrigation with distillery effluent, besides influencing crop yield, may have considerable impact on physical properties of soil because of its high salt and organic carbon contents. this experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of distillery effluent on hydraulic conductivity of a sandy loam alluvial soil and compare the effect of inorganic salts of potassium (k) with that of di...

A new trend in electronics research is to increasingly employ chemical synthesis techniques in order to fabricate device components exhibiting physical properties addressed to specific applications. Examples of this approach are circuits made from carbon nanotubes and semiconducting nanowires. These nanostructures can be used, for instance, as chemical or biological sensors. In addition, chemic...

DNA-templated organic synthesis (DTS) enables new modes of controlling chemical reactivity and allows evolutionary principles to be applied to the discovery of synthetic small molecules, synthetic polymers, and new chemical reactions. The structures that can be accessed in a DNA-templated format thus far have been limited to those that can be generated in aqueous solvents. Here we report effici...
