Abstract:
Two subphthalocyanine (SubPc) units and a perethynylated, alkyne-expanded radiaannulene (RA) were fused together by a four-fold Sonogashira reaction to give a compound exhibiting: (i) four reversible one-electron reductions, the first signalling good acceptor strength of the RA core itself, while the following three are a consequence of the entire scaffold, and (ii) intense light absorption that spans a remarkably broad region.

Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:

For the titration of 25.00 mL of 0.100 M CH3CO2H with 0.100 M NaOH, the reaction can be represented as:
Electron Carriers
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...
