Triptycenes as a molecular building block to introduce internal free volume in organic materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Chapter 1. Triptycenes are shown to possess "internal free volume" swept out between their aromatic faces, which enable them to align their long axis normal to the host alignment to most efficiently fill this volume. This ...
The interaction of xenon difluoride with Si(100)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
The interaction of low energy XeF2 with Si(100)2x1 has been investigated by studying both the surface-bound and gas-phase products of the reaction. Helium atom diffraction, beam-surface scattering and thermal desorption ...
Optimization of electrostatic binding free energy : applications to the analysis and design of ligand binding in protein complexes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Electrostatic interactions play an important role in determining the energetics of association in biomolecular complexes. Previous work has shown that, within a continuum electrostatic model, for any given complex there ...
