Novel 3-(perfluoroalkanoyl)-(1R)-camphorate nickel complexes immobilized to poly(dimethylsiloxane) phases are presented. Immobilized 3-(perfluoroalkanoyl)-(1R)-camphorate nickel complexes with a trifluoromethyl (CF(3); nickel(II)-bis[(1R,4S)-3-trifluoromethanoyl-10-propylenoxycamphor]-polysiloxane Ni(tfpc)(2)@PS) and a heptafluoropropyl-substituent (C(3)F(7); nickel(II)-bis[(1R,4S)-3-heptafluorobutanoyl-10-propylenoxycamphor]-polysiloxane Ni(hfpc)(2)@PS) were synthesized, characterized and immobilized to polysiloxane. Ni(hfpc)(2)@PS was immobilized with a selector content

Although a number of studies have reported that cocrystals can form by heating a physical mixture of two components, details surrounding heat-induced cocrystal formation remain unclear. Here, we attempted to clarify the thermal behavior of a physical mixture and cocrystal

Animals tend to reject bitter foods. However, long-term exposure to some unpalatable tastants increases acceptance of these foods. Here we show that dietary exposure to an unappealing but safe additive, camphor, caused the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to decrease camphor

In the present work, the first observation of strong resonance Raman optical activity (RROA) involving more that one resonant electronic state is reported. The chiral transition metal complex bis-(trifluoroacetylcamphorato) copper(II), abbreviated Cu(tfc)(2), exhibits both resonance Raman (RR) and RROA spectra
