In this study, we demonstrate a novel and efficient fabrication methodology for nonclose-packed, two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals exhibiting square lattice structures. In our recent work, we detailed the formation of 2D colloidal crystals via the electrostatic adsorption of three-dimensional (3D) charged colloidal crystals onto oppositely charged substrates. These 3D colloidal crystals possessed a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice structure with their (111) planes aligned parallel to the substrate, facilitating the formation of 2D crystals with triangular lattice arrangements upon adsorption.

Unlike homogeneous liposomes, phase-separated liposomes have the potential to be attractive soft materials because they exhibit different properties for each phase. In this study, phase separation was observed when liposomes were prepared using 1,2-dioleoyloxy-3-trimethylammonium propane chloride (DOTAP), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), and cholesterol. The pH of the DOTAP-rich phase was evaluated using a coumarin derivative, and measurements showed that DOTAP molecules accumulated hydroxyl ions (OH) in the DOTAP-rich phase.

Previous studies have confirmed that MnO removes heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from water with dual effects of adsorption and oxidation coupling, significantly improving the ability to remove impurities. Nanometal oxides have a highly reactive surface but tend to agglomerate during preparation and are challenging to recycle after use. A common method is to combine nano-MnO with FeO to prepare magnetic materials for easy recycling.

Controlled pore glass (CPG), differing in pore size and subsequent specific surface, was chemically modified by: (1) increasing surface susceptibility for amine functionalization via reaction with oxirane-type (active) and alkyl/aryl-type (inactive towards amine compounds) silane pro-adhesive compounds, and (2) immobilization of trimethylolpropane tris[poly(propylene glycol), amine terminated] ether, comb-like 8-arm octa[poly(ethylene glycol) amine] with each branch amine terminated, and a poly(propylene imine) amine-terminated second-generation dendrimer. The increase in surface density of amine functions - monitored by UV-Vis technique adopted for quantitative measurements of Ruhemann's purple intensity - improved final loading capacity, characterized by dimethoxytrityl cation absorption. Obtained materials proved their applicability in automatic oligonucleotide (ON) synthesis, especially when silanized 2000 Å CPG modified with 8-arm octa[poly(ethylene glycol) amine], with deduced empirical formula CPG - silane - (NH)PEG-(NH), was used for long-chain (150 nucleotides) ONs synthesis.

The C,N-chelated aryltellurenyl triflate [2-(tBuNCH)CHTe][OTf] (1) activates the Si-H bonds in the tertiary silanes RSiH via umpolung of H to H to give rise to the iminium salts (tBuN(H)CH)CHTeSiR][OTf] (2, R=Et, Ph (elusive) and R=Si(CH) isolated; OTf=OSCF) comprising Te-Si bonds, which are capable of generating silyl triflates, RSiOTf, under attack of a second equivalent of 1. The unprecedented Si-H activation was utilized in main group redox catalysis using p-quinones, which were converted into (silylated) hydroquinones.
