Poly(disulfide)s
No full textDon't forget poly(disulfide)s. There is a rich literature pointing out the advantages of the dynamic nature of single disulfide bridges to explore self-sorting, biomolecular engineering, biomembrane analysis, and so on. Disulfide bonds between polymer chains are essential for protein folding, materials properties and the stabilization of various supramolecular architectures. However, poly(disulfide) s with disulfide bonds in the main chain are rarely used today to create interesting structures or functions. To attract attention and outline scope and limitations of poly(disulfide) s to build modern supramolecular systems, the rather eclectic recent literature on the topic is summarized. The review is moving from fascinating basic studies including photoinduced metathesis, polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes to applications in biosupramolecular systems such as micelles, membranes, tubes, gels, carriers, pores, sensors, catalysts and photosystems

The unusual cover of the armoured scale Cryptaspidiotus barbusano (Lindinger) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae: Aspidiotinae) with comments on the scale covers of other Diaspididae Annales de la Societé Entomologique de France 48 (3-4)
No full textCryptaspidiotus barbusano (Lindinger 1908) is an endemic species of the Canary Islands,
only known on Apollonias barbujana (Lauraceae), a plant growing in the “Laurisilva” or laurel forest,
in several Macaronesian islands. Recently C. barbusano was collected on Heberdenia excelsa
(Myrsinaceae), a new host plant and family, in the Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo, Las Palmas,
Gran Canaria. The recent collection of C. barbusano gives us the opportunity to redescribe its unusual
adult female scale cover. The truncate cone-shaped scale cover and its peculiar refl exed exit tunnel
for crawlers, with microscopic details of this rare species, are described and illustrated. The shape
of the exit tunnel is discussed and the scale cover is compared with scale covers of several other
diaspidid species. Finally, this study shows that C. barbusano is not a pupillarial species as formerly
described
Double-channel photosystems with antiparallel redox gradients: templated stack exchange with porphyrins and phthalocyanines
No full textWe report the synthesis of multicomponent surface architectures composed of phthalocyanines (Pc), porphyrins (TPP) and naphthalenediimides (NDI). Naphthalenediimide stacks are grown first by self-organizing surface initiated disulfide-exchange polymerization (SOSIP). An oriented redox gradient driving electrons toward the surface is applied by growing electron-richer NDI stacks on top of poorer ones. Lateral stacks of porphyrins and phthalocyanines are then added by templated stack exchange (TSE). A three-component gradient is constructed to drive the holes away from the solid surface. Antiparallel gradients are found to minimize charge recombination during photocurrent generation. Templates used for stack exchange also serve as hole barriers, whereas their size has surprisingly little importance. These results demonstrate the compatibility of SOSIP-TSE technology with porphyrins and phthalocyanines, confirm the importance of oriented antiparallel gradients to minimize charge recombination, and show that electronics rather than the size matter to template stack exchange
