    Comprehensive investigation of lithium ion complexation with 15N-labeled polyphosphazenes- 15N-poly[bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)phosphazene] (15N-MEEP) and 15N-poly-[((2-allylphenoxy)0.12(4-methoxyphenoxy)1.02(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)0.86)phosphazene] (15N-HPP)-was performed by NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopies. Previous studies characterized the ionic transport through the polymer matrix in terms of "jumps" between neighboring polymer strands utilizing the electron lone pairs of the etherial oxygen nuclei with the nitrogen nuclei on the polyphosphazene backbone not involved. However, noteworthy changes were observed in the NMR, IR, and Raman spectra with the addition of lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf) to the polyphosphazenes. The data indicate that the preferred association for the lithium ion with the polymer is with the nitrogen nuclei,more » resulting in the formation of a "pocket" with the pendant groups folding around the backbone. NMR temperature-dependent spin-lattice relaxation (T1) studies (13C, 31P, and 15N) indicate significant lithium ion interaction with the backbone nitrogen nuclei. These studies are in agreement with molecular dynamics simulations investigating lithium ion movement within the polyphosphazene matrix.« less

    The low-energy, electron-stimulated production of molecular oxygen from thin amorphous solid water (ASW) films adsorbed on Pt(111) is investigated. For ASW coverages less than {approx}60 monolayers (ML), the O2 ESD yield depends on coverage in a manner that is very similar to the H2 ESD yield. In particular, both the O2 and H2 ESD yields have a pronounced maximum at {approx}20 ML due to reactions at the Pt/water interface. The O2 yield is dose-dependent and several precursors (OH, H2O2 and HO2) are involved in the O2 production. Layered films of H216O and H218O are used to profile the spatial distributionmore » of the electron-stimulated reactions leading to oxygen within the water films. Independent of the ASW film thickness, the final reactions leading to O2 occur at or near the ASW/vacuum interface. However for ASW coverages less than {approx}40 ML, the results indicate that dissociation of water molecules at the ASW/Pt interface contributes to the O2 production at the ASW/vacuum interface presumably via the generation of OH radicals near the Pt substrate. The OH (or possibly OH-) segregates to the vacuum interface where it contributes to the reactions at that interface. The electron-stimulated migration of precursors to the vacuum interface occurs via transport through the hydrogen bond network of the ASW without motion of the oxygen atoms. A simple kinetic model of the non-thermal reactions leading to O2, which was previously used to account for reactions in thick ASW films, is modified to account for the electron-stimulated migration of precursors.« less

    Bacterial microcompartments are widespread prokaryotic organelles that have important and diverse roles ranging from carbon fixation to enteric pathogenesis. Current models for microcompartment function propose that their outer protein shell is selectively permeable to small molecules, but whether a protein shell can mediate selective permeability and how this occurs are unresolved questions. In this paper, biochemical and physiological studies of structure-guided mutants are used to show that the hexameric PduA shell protein of the 1,2-propanediol utilization (Pdu) microcompartment forms a selectively permeable pore tailored for the influx of 1,2-propanediol (the substrate of the Pdu microcompartment) while restricting the efflux ofmore » propionaldehyde, a toxic intermediate of 1,2-propanediol catabolism. Crystal structures of various PduA mutants provide a foundation for interpreting the observed biochemical and phenotypic data in terms of molecular diffusion across the shell. Finally and overall, these studies provide a basis for understanding a class of selectively permeable channels formed by nonmembrane proteins.« less

    Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was employed to synthesize supported Pt–Pd bimetallic particles in the 1 to 2 nm range. The metal loading and composition of the supported Pt–Pd nanoparticles were controlled by varying the deposition temperature and by applying ALD metal oxide coatings to modify the support surface chemistry. High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy images showed monodispersed Pt–Pd nanoparticles on ALD Al 2O 3- and TiO 2-modified SiO 2 gel. X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that the bimetallic nanoparticles have a stable Pt-core, Pd-shell nanostructure. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the most stable surface configuration for the Pt–Pd alloys inmore » an H 2 environment has a Pt-core, Pd-shell nanostructure. Finally, in comparison to their monometallic counterparts, the small Pt–Pd bimetallic core–shell nanoparticles exhibited higher activity in propane oxidative dehydrogenation as compared to their physical mixture.« less
