Osmium-Nitrosyl Oxalato-Bridged Lanthanide-Centered Pentanuclear Complexes - Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties

Anatolie Gavriluta, Nicolas Claiser, Paul-Steffen Kuhn +6

A series of pentanuclear heterometallic coordination compounds of the general formula (Bu 4 N) 5 [Ln{Os(NO)(-ox)-Cl 3 } 4 (H 2 O) n ] [Ln = Y (for 2) and Dy (for 3) when n = 0;…

Amphiphile Adsorption on Rigid Polyelectrolytes

Paulo S. Kuhn, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa +1

A theory is presented which quantitatively accounts for the cooperative adsorption of cationic surfactants to anionic polyelectrolytes. For high salt concentration we find that the…

Flexible Polyelectrolytes with Monovalent Salt

Paulo S. Kuhn, Marcia C. Barbosa

We present a model for describing flexible polyelectrolytes in a good solvent a nd in the presence of monovalent salt . The molecule composed by monomers is characterized by th…

Criticality in polar fluids

Yan Levin, Paulo S. Kuhn, Marcia C. Barbosa

A model of polar fluid is studied theoretically. The interaction potential, in addition to dipole-dipole term, possesses a dispersion contribution of the van der Waals-London form.…

Charge inversion in DNA-amphiphile complexes: Possible application to gene therapy

P. S. Kuhn, Y. Levin, M. C. Barbosa

We study a complex formation between the DNA and cationic amphiphilic molecules. As the amphiphile is added to the solution containing DNA, a cooperative binding of surfactants to…

Complexation of DNA with Cationic Surfactant

P. S. Kuhn, Marcia C. Barbosa, Y. Levin

Transfection of an anionic polynucleotide through a negatively charged membrane is an important problem in genetic engineering. The direct association of cationic surfactant to DNA…
