Creation of a Mixed-Valence State from One-Dimensionally Aligned TTF Utilizing the Self-Assembling Nature of a Low Molecular-Weight Gel

Abstract: One-dimensional TTF assemblies have been obtained through the design of low molecular-weight gels, which show a characteristic absorption band at around 1750 nm upon I2 doping, assignable to a mixed-valence state of the TTF assemblies.

Gradient copolymers

Abstract: Gradient copolymers represent a relative new class of copolymers containing at least one section of the macromolecule where the chemical composition continuously changes along the polymer chain. Due to their structural relation to block copolymers, microphase-segregated structures can be formed in bulk, in solution, at surfaces, and interfaces exhibiting a blurred, less-defined border region between phases. The article reviews the preparation methods, the main physical peculiarities, and some proposed applications of gradient copolymers.

Thermotropic columnar mesophases from N–H⋯O, and N⋯H–O hydrogen bond supramolecular mesogenes

Abstract: The structures of supramolecular columnar mesophases that depend on the presence of either N–H⋯O, or N⋯H–O– hydrogen bonds (subsumed under the term ‘N|H|O-bonds’) are reviewed. The thesis is supported that supramolecular mesogenes bridge different fields of liquid crystal research, offering the opportunity to create a unified picture of thermotropic, and lyotropic mesomorphism. With the examples of N|H|O hydrogen bond mesogenes the molecular structures of the respective mesogenes are presented, and general principles to rationally construct such molecules are discussed. A connection is drawn to systems from isolated columns as found in low molecular weight organogels. Perspectives, and outlooks for possible applications of N|H|O hydrogen bonded columnar phases are given.

Abstract: Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

The random walk's guide to anomalous diffusion: a fractional dynamics approach

Abstract: Fractional kinetic equations of the diffusion, diffusion–advection, and Fokker–Planck type are presented as a useful approach for the description of transport dynamics in complex systems which are governed by anomalous diffusion and non-exponential relaxation patterns. These fractional equations are derived asymptotically from basic random walk models, and from a generalised master equation. Several physical consequences are discussed which are relevant to dynamical processes in complex systems. Methods of solution are introduced and for some special cases exact solutions are calculated. This report demonstrates that fractional equations have come of age as a complementary tool in the description of anomalous transport processes.
