Chemical dynamics of triacetylene formation and implications to the synthesis of polyynes in Titan's atmosphere.

12 Sep 2009 For the last four decades, the role of polyynes such as diacetylene (HCCCCH) and triacetylene (HCCCCCCH) in the chemical evolution of the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan has been a subject of vigorous research. These polyacetylenes are thought to ... Read more...

Self-organization of a polymerizable bolaamphiphile bearing a diacetylene group and L-aspartic acid group.

16 Aug 2009 We report herein the self-organization of the polymerizable bolaamphiphile (noted, L-Asp-DA) that contains a diacetylene group and two L-aspartic groups. We found that L-Asp-DA can self-organize into stable fiberlike nanostructures at the mica-water ... Read more...

Polydiacetylene-based colorimetric self-assembled vesicular receptors for biological phosphate ion recognition.

25 Jul 2009 Self-assembled vesicular polydiacetylene (PDA) particles with embedded metal complex receptor sites have been prepared. The particles respond to the presence of ATP and PPi (pyrophosphate) in buffered aqueous solution by visible changes of their ... Read more...
