Orthogonal Tip-to-Tip Nanocapillary Alignment Allows for Easy Detection of Fluorescent Emitters in Femtomolar Concentrations

Aleksandra Radenovic, Michael Graf, Po-Ling Chang

Here we present the realization of a novel fluorescence detection method based on the electromigration of fluorescent molecules within a nanocapillary combined with the laser excitation through a platinum (Pt)-coated nanocapillary. By using the Pt nanocapi ...

Two analytical approaches quantifying the electron donating capacities of dissolved organic matter to monitor its oxidation during chlorination and ozonation

Urs von Gunten

Electron-donating activated aromatic moieties, including phenols, in dissolved organic matter (DOM) partially control its reactivity with the chemical oxidants ozone and chlorine. This comparative study introduces two sensitive analytical systems to direct ...

A Pyridine-Based Ligand with Two Hydrazine Functions for Lanthanide Chelation: Remarkable Kinetic Inertness for a Linear, Bishydrated Complex

Lothar Helm, Eva Jakab Toth

To study the influence of hydrazine functions in the ligand skeleton, we designed the heptadentate HYD ligand (2,2',2 '',2 ''-(2,2'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(2-methylhydrazine-2,1,1-triyl)) tetraacetic acid) and compared the thermodynamic, kinetic, and relaxa ...

Peak Shift Measurement of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance by a Portable Electronic System

Carlotta Guiducci, Luca Benini, Enrico Accastelli, Giulia Cappi

In recent years, the characterization of surface molecular layers by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) has attracted a lot of interest thanks to its ability to provide a higher spatial resolution with respect to standard SPR. LSPR can be observed ...

Enhancement of Cytotoxicity by Combining Pyrenyl-Dendrimers and Arene Ruthenium Metallacages

Paul Joseph Dyson, Olivier Pierre Zava

Three generations of pyrenyl bis-MPA dendrimers with two different end-groups, acetonide (pyrG) or alcohol (pyr(Gn center dot OH)) (n = 1-3), were synthesized, and the pyrenyl group of the dendritic molecules was encapsulated in the arene ruthenium metalla ...

Cold Ion Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules in the Gas Phase

Natalia Nagornova

The three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins and peptides in vivo largely determine their biological functions. In vitro these native structures and their heterogeneity reflect a subtle balance between noncovalent intramolecular interactions and those ...

Sensing with Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries of Metal-Dye Complexes: The Advantage of Time-Resolved Measurements

Kay Severin, Friederike Gundula Marie Zaubitzer

A dynamic combinatorial library of metal–dye complexes was obtained by reacting aqueous solutions of the dyes Methyl Calcein Blue, Arsenazo I, and Xylenol Orange with CuCl2 and NiCl2. The mixture gave a characteristic UV-Vis response upon addition of the p ...

Deducing Ink-Transmittance Spectra from Reflectance and Transmittance Measurements of Prints

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

The color of prints is mainly determined by the light absorption of the inks deposited on top of paper. In order to predict the reflectance spectrum of prints, we use a spectral prediction model in which each ink is characterized by its spectral transmitta ...
