Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory have made significant contributions to our understanding of metal oxides, their surfaces, and the binding of molecules at these surfaces. In this paper we investigate the binding of methanol at the α-Al2O3(0001) surface using first-principles density functional theory. We calculate the molecular adsorption energy of methanol to be E ad...

The solvent composition induced reentrant behavior of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) chains grafted on a SiO2 surface in water-methanol mixtures was investigated using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) at 20 degrees C. The frequency and energy dissipation responses showed that the grafted PNIPAM chains sharply collapse when the methanol content (x(m)) reach...

this research is an attempt to measure the effect of alkyl tail on the visible spectra and order parameters s of some azo n-ester-1,8-naphthalimide(anen) disperse dyestuff. for the first time, the visible absorption spectra of two azo n-ester-1,8-naphthalimide(anen) dyes with identical molecular size and diverse alkyl tails were obtained in liquids and liquid crystalline solvent. ordinary organ...

Background & Aim: Leucas indica L. (R. Br.) is a lesser known aromatic herb of family Lamiaceae. Traditionally it was use to cure cough and cold by tribals of Southern India. The present work was aimed to investigate its pharmacognostic characters, major phytochemicals and antioxidant potential as possible replacement of its allied members to reduce their exploitation....

Amides are important atmospheric organic-nitrogen compounds. Hydrogen bonded complexes of methanol (MeOH) with amides (formamide, N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetamide, N-methylacetamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide) have been investigated. The carbonyl oxygen of the amides behaves as a hydrogen bond acceptor and the NH group of the amides acts as a hydrogen bond donor. The dominant ...

This paper studied the effect of pyridinium-based ionic liquids as cosolvents in a methanol-water solvent system on hydrolytic activity Candida rugosa lipase. These were successfully synthesized using imidazolium-based liquid synthesizing methods with certain adjustment. The lipase was analyzed 4-nitrophenol acetate (pNPA) and palmitate (pNPP) substrates. addition had no significant water solve...

The retention behaviors of various low-molecular-weight compounds in low-temperature HPLC with an ODS (octadecyl silica) column and liquid CO2 mobile phase containing methanol or acetonitrile as modifiers were investigated. addition methanol/acetonitrile reduced the xanthone, which was dominated by content, independent modifier. Additionally, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) methanol/ace...
