  • Publication number: 20140080163
    Abstract: A molecular probe for the luminescent detection of nucleotides (e.g., adenosine nucleotides) is presented. In certain embodiments, the probe can readily distinguish between the three adenosine nucleotides in buffered aqueous conditions at neutral pH, a need for the direct monitoring of enzymatic reactions converting ATP to ADP or AMP. The probe is most efficient under millimolar concentrations of ATP, which are relevant to intracellular conditions. In preferred embodiments, the long luminescence lifetime of the probe readily enables time-gating experiments.

  • Publication number: 20140045323
    Abstract: Preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals and their dispersions in solvents and other media is described. The nanocrystals described herein have small (1-10 nm) particle size with minimal aggregation and can be synthesized with high yield. The capping agents on the as-synthesized nanocrystals as well as nanocrystals which have undergone cap exchange reactions result in the formation of stable suspensions in polar and nonpolar solvents which may then result in the formation of high quality nanocomposite films.

  • Publication number: 20140024814
    Abstract: Provided are a novel europium compound which has a melting point of 180° C. or lower and can be stably supplied by bubbling in a chemical vapor deposition method or an atomic layer deposition method, a precursor for forming a europium-containing thin film based on the compound, and a method for forming a europium-containing thin film using this precursor. A europium-containing thin film is formed using bis(tetramethylmonoalkylcyclopentadienyl)europium as a precursor for forming a europium-containing thin film by a chemical vapor deposition method or anatomic layer deposition method.
