A study of the relative rates of the alkyl hydrogen abstraction
from a series of meta and para substituted t-butylbenzenes by the
chlorine atom at 70°C has been carried out. Application of the
Hammett equation yielded a ρ value of -0.44 for the para compounds.
Possible explanations for the non-linearity...
The photoelectron spectra of a series of ketone
compounds have been investigated in the gas phase. Core
ionization energies were measured to probe the effects of
molecular size and connectivity number on core ionization
energies.
It was found that core ionization energies roughly
decrease with increasing connectivity number as expected....
A microfluidic nanofiltration module has been designed, fabricated and applied to the continuous-flow, pressure-driven, post-synthetic purification of macromolecules and nanoparticles via diafiltration using a commercially available organic solvent resistant nanofiltration membrane, STARMEM 122. This module will readily interface with other microscale components within a
"nanofactory" for the rapid synthesis, purification...
The concept of reducing laboratory operations into microfluidic devices has been an attractive area of research for several decades. Due to several advantages of porous-media microfluidic devices including low mass, portability, power-free fluid transport, and the ability to store dried reagents in the porous structures, these devices show great promise...
The satellite structure ("shake-up") present in the X-ray
photoelectron spectra of several planar molecules containing
double bonds has been investigated in the gas phase.
This set consists of three five-membered heterocyclic
molecules, ethylene and two of its fluorinated analogs, and
benzene with three of its fluorinated analogs. In addition,
core...
