Implementing the “Catch-and-Release” Concept into a Simple Method for Regioselective Cyclodextrin Modification
La funcionalización selectiva de moléculas de alta simetría, con una presentación densa de grupos funcionales idénticos, resulta un reto formidable desde el punto de vista sintético. En el caso paradigmático de las ciclodextrinas (CDs) solo existen unas pocas...
Resonant Photocurrent Generation in Dye-Sensitized Periodically Nanostructured Photoconductors by Optical Field Confinement Effects
En este trabajo se presenta evidencia experimental de generación resonante de fotocorriente en materiales fotoconductores periódicamente nanoestructurados y sensibilizados con un colorante. Esta propiedad se logra mediante el uso de estructuras periódicas preparadas...
Building a Parent Iridabenzene Structure from Acetylene and Dichloromethane on an Iridium Center
Metallabenzenes are interesting species which have attracted ample interest from the academic community because their structures, electronic properties and reactivity. Despite recent significant advances in this field, which have been reviewed lately, and...
Loss of starch granule initiation has a deleterious effect on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana plants due to accumulation of ADP-glucose
Starch synthase 4 (SS4) is required for proper starch granule initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana, although starch synthase 3 (SS3) can partially replace its function. Unlike other starch deficient mutants, ss4 and ss3/ss4 mutants grow poorly even under long-day...
Angular response of photonic crystal based dye sensitized solar cells
In this paper we report an experimental analysis of the performance of photonic cristal based dye solar cells (PC-DSC) as the incident light angle moves away from the normal with respect to the cell surface. Nanoparticle multilayers operating at different wavelength...
