Given the recent advent of mononuclear single-molecule magnets (SMMs), a rational approach based on lanthanides with axially elongated f-electron charge cloud (prolate) has only recently received attention. We report herein a new SMM, [Li(THF)4[Er{N(SiMe3)2}3Cl]⋅2 THF, which exhibits slow relaxation of the

Recently, it has been reported that n-alkanes are principal components of diesel exhaust nanoparticles. We investigated the effects of n-alkanes on the surface activity of a pulmonary surfactant monolayer using both fresh surfactant isolated from mouse lungs, and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC)
