ACS Highlights

Alkali Metal Peroxynitrites

Chemical Research in Toxicology
November 2008

The authors describe the preparation of chemically pure sodium and lithium peroxynitrite solutions—useful reagents for biological research—via an ion-exchange process.

Ring Your Polymers

Macromolecules
November 2008

Controlled evaporation of a solution of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) causes the incompatible polymers to self-organize into concentric rings.

The Shape of Chitin and Chitosan

Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation
November 2008

The structures of chitin and its derivative chitosan are characterized by molecular dynamics simulations. The findings could aid nanomaterial design.

Diastereomeric Purity

Organic Letters
November 2008

The authors use a robust method for the accurate measurement of very high (>95% de) diastereomeric purity by using a 13C–1H NMR technique.

GaAs Surface Passivation

Journal of Physical Chemistry C
November 2008

Wet-chemical functionalization of gallium arsenide surfaces with phosphines may be a cost-efficient route to passivating these surfaces for solar energy conversion.
