We studied proton beam production from a laser ion source using hydrogen rich target materials. In general, gas based species are not suitable for laser ion sources since formation of a dense laser target is difficult. In order to achieve reliable operation, we tested hydride targets using a sub nanosecond Q-switched Nd-YAG laser, which may help suppress target material consumption. We detected...

The title compound, C(16)H(12)O(2), was synthesized from naphthalene-2,7-diol and prop-2-ynyl 4-methyl-benzene-sulfonate in the presence of sodium hydride. The crystal packing exhibits inter-molecular non-classical C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The molecular calcium hydride, [(BDI)CaH]2 (BDI = HC{(Me)CN-2,6-i-Pr2C6H3}2), effects the slow hydrodehalogenation of C6H5X (X I, Br) to provide benzene and respective dimeric halides, [(BDI)CaX]2. Although a similar reaction with fluorobenzene was non-discriminating, analogous hydrogenation chlorobenzene observed, albeit this process yields hydride-chloride as alkaline earth-containing product...

Formation of the hydrides of antimony arsenic, bismuth, germanium, lead, selenium, tellurium and tin by reaction with sodium tetrahydroborate0 affords an excellent method for the separation of these elements as gases from a wide range of matrices. Excellent low limits of detection are attained when this separation method is combined with atomisation of the hydride in a heated quartz tube in the...

In this work we have studied the effect of phase composition and microstructure a rapidly solidified Ti2AlNb-based alloy containing hydrogen on deformation during ball milling production fine-dispersed powder. Hydrogen is introduced into up to concentration 2.0 wt%. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) show that has following compositions depending content: β ...

DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) catalyses the metabolically important reduction of 7,8-dihydrofolate by NADPH. DHFR from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima (TmDHFR), which shares similarity with DHFR from Escherichia coli, has previously been characterized structurally. Its tertiary structure is similar to that of DHFR from E. coli but it is the only DHFR characterized so far th...
