The conformational properties of the optically active regioregular poly[(R)-3-(4-(4-ethyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl) phenyl) thiophene] (PEOPT) were explored by molecular dynamics on a single chain using several solvents of increasing ...

Three different strategies have been followed to develop the torsional force-field parameters of the interring dihedral angles for calix[4]arene-substituted poly(thiophene)s, a family of highly sensitive ion receptors. ...

A new substituted polythiophene derivative bearing malonic acid, poly(2-thiophen-3-yl-malonic acid), has been prepared and characterized using a strategy that combines both experimental and theoretical methodologies. The ...

Density functional and time-dependent density functional calculations using the B3LYP method combined with the 6-31G(d) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets are performed on symmetric and unsymmetric all-thiophene dendrimers ...

Quantum chemical methods have been applied on model oligomers of poly(thiaheterohelicene)s to investigate the structural and electronic properties of these systems. Specifically, the properties of the helical structures found ...

Although the content of Mg2+ in hard tissues is very low (typically 1.5wt%), its incorporation into synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles and its role in the mineral's properties are still subject of intensive debate. ...

The ring-opening polymerizations of the dilactones glycolide and the S,S- and S,R-stereoisomers of lactide were studied using quantum mechanical methods. The ring strain and the conformational distribution of these cyclic ...
