Spherical Pd nanoparticles (2-8 nm) were immobilized on the nanometer-scaled platelets of montmorillonite (MMT) by means of cation exchange of Pd2+ for Na+ followed by chemical reduction. The resulting Pd catalysts were readily dispersible in water and polar solvents. Polarity design and thus, variation of the dispersion behavior was achieved by subsequent organophilic MMT modification involving cation exchange with N-alkyl and N-perfluoroalkylethyl pyridinium cations. This allowed for easy catalyst dispersion in a wide range of organic solvents. According to characterization by TEM, EDXS, AAS and WAXS the nanoparticle formation did not destroy the superstructure of unmodified and organophilic MMT. Catalysts were applied to hydrogenation, Suzuki-Miyaura C-C coupling and fluorous biphase catalysis. The tunable dispersion behavior of MMT catalysts was successfully employed to guarantee easy catalyst recovery and recycling.

Analysis of the Growth of Laterally Aligned SnO2 Nanowires by Thermodynamic Considerations and Experiments

Jasmin-Clara Buerger, Sebastian Gutsch, Yi Thomann, Ralf Thomann, Bjoern Christian, Oliver Ambacher, Margit Zacharias

Summary: This study discusses the experimental tuning of freestanding SnO2 nanowires growth to a laterally aligned nanowire growth mode, with thermodynamic considerations for influencing parameters. The research shows that a continuous gold film inhibits the laterally aligned growth, leading to growth only at the edges while the central region is covered by freestanding wires.

Summary: In this study, different calcification methods for collagen and collagen coatings were compared for their suitability for 3D printing and production of collagen-coated scaffolds. HA directly in the collagen solution resulted in increased viscosity and led to clumping on the scaffolds. The incubation and ALP coating methods resulted in increased HA layer thickness, while no coating on the collagen layer was observed with the poly-L-aspartic acid method.

Spontaneous and Selective Peptide Elongation in Water Driven by Aminoacyl Phosphate Esters and Phase Changes

Summary: The mechanisms of spontaneous and selective peptide elongation in aqueous abiotic systems remain unclear. This study used aminoacyl phosphate esters to uncover these pathways. The phosphate esters acted as solubility tags, allowing hydrophobic amino acids and their oligomers to be soluble in water and enabling selective elongation and different pathways to emerge.
