    Gesture of the book

    No full text
    grantor: University of TorontoThis thesis-book is an existential phenomenological inquiry undertaking to speak the gesture of the book. The inquirer endeavors to utter and make articulate for herself and the reader through reflective discourse, the gesture of the book as experienced within the biography of the inquiry. With an emphasis on finding a way of speaking the existential responsibility for our own voices in inquiry, the inquiry is a theoretical commitment to a communicative relationship with the world as encountered through interpretive inquiry (Darroch and Silvers, 1982). Engaged with the sensible of the book, as maker, author, inquirer, and reader, the inquirer endeavors to communicatively transcend silences reached at the limits of theoretical understandings (Silvers, 1983) through a phenomenologically speaking of the gesture of the book.M.A

    Chloride ligands on DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters

    DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgN-DNAs) are known to have one or two DNA oligomer ligands per nanocluster. Here, we present the first evidence that AgN-DNA species can possess additional chloride ligands that lead to increased stability in biologically relevant concentrations of chloride. Mass spectrometry of five chromatographically isolated near infrared (NIR) emissive AgN-DNA species with previously reported X-ray crystal structures determines their molecular formulas to be (DNA)2[Ag16Cl2]8+. Chloride ligands can be exchanged for bromides, which redshifts the optical spectra of these emitters. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the 6-electron nanocluster show that the two newly identified chloride ligands were previously assigned as low-occupancy silvers by X-ray crystallography. DFT also confirms the stability of chloride in the crystallographic structure, yields qualitative agreement between computed and measured UV-vis absorption spectra, and provides interpretation of the 35Cl-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the (DNA)2[Ag16Cl2]8+. A reanalysis of the X-ray crystal structure confirms that the two previously assigned low-occupancy silvers are, in fact, chlorides, yielding (DNA)2[Ag16Cl2]8+. Using the unusual stability of (DNA)2[Ag16Cl2]8+ in biologically relevant saline solutions as a possible indicator of other chloride-containing AgN-DNAs, we identified an additional AgN-DNA with chloride ligands by high-throughput screening. Inclusion of chlorides on AgN-DNAs presents a promising new route to expand the diversity of AgN-DNA structure-property relationships and to imbue these emitters with favorable stability for biophotonics applications
