Hydrogen Bonds00:26

Hydrogen Bonds

126.3K
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.
Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

5.5K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Two-dimensional (2D) microscopy encompasses a range of optical techniques that capture images within a single focal plane, offering detailed representations of microscopic structures. These techniques are essential in biological and medical research, enabling the visualization of cellular and subcellular structures with different levels of contrast and specificity.There are several major types of 2D microscopy, each with strengths and applications.Bright-Field MicroscopyBright-field microscopy...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

4.1K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

X-ray Imaging

7.8K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are highly versatile materials due to their flexible architecture and host-guest interactions.
  • Understanding the behavior of guest molecules within MOF frameworks is crucial for their application.
  • The Co-CUK-1 MOF with a [101] honeycomb channel presents a unique system for studying host-guest dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the spatial distribution and behavior of water (H2O) guest molecules within the [101] honeycomb channel of Co-CUK-1.
  • To investigate the phase stability of adsorbed water molecules under varying temperatures.
  • To characterize the electronic properties of the Co-CUK-1 framework and the influence of water adsorption.

Main Methods:

  • Ab-initio calculations were employed to determine the spatial distribution of H2O molecules.
  • In situ heating Raman spectroscopy was used to monitor the phase behavior of H2O guests up to 120°C.
  • Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) and Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) were utilized for atomic-scale structural and electronic characterization.

Main Results:

  • Ab-initio calculations showed 1D alignment of H2O guests within the Co-CUK-1 channel with high superposition density.
  • Raman spectroscopy confirmed that H2O guests behave like a vapor phase and remain stable up to 120°C.
