The solvation of benzimidazole, 4-azabenzimidazole, purine, adenine, uracil, thymine, and cytosine in water and methanol was determined by a combination of calorimetric and spectral analysis. Specific enthalpies have been assigned to each interaction site in the first solvation shell. Calculations, based on the enthalpies of hydrogen bond formation with water, and estimates for intermolecular hydrogen bond enthalpies, show that the self-association of purine and adenine in water through hydrogen bonded interactions is enthalpically possible.

A novel biomimetic DNA analogue with fluorescence has been synthesized to generate functional supramolecular architectures. Experimental studies show that triaminopyrimidine nucleoside (2) undergoes a sterically controlled self-assembly into hydrogen-bonded linear tapes and hexameric rosettes. Self-association of the hydrogen-bonded triaminopyrimidine–cyanuric acid complex into elongated, rodlike nanostructures was shown by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy, suggesting hierarchical formation of higher-order, π-stacked assemblies. The hydrogen-bond self-assembly of the DNA analogue decreased the fluorescence of the nucleosides. This guest-induced fluorescence quenching can be used to develop DNA-hybridization probes. MM+ molecular modelling and semi-empirical molecular orbital PM3 calculations (1) predicted the incorporation of triaminopyrimidine nucleoside into new types of artificial DNA strands and triplex formation with natural, complementary DNA strands containing thymine (1).

The enhancement of both thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy materials using nanomaterials becomes a target in coating of the steel to protect it from aggressive environmental conditions for a long time, with reducing the cost. In this respect, the adhesion properties of the epoxy with the steel surfaces, and its proper superhyrophobicity to repel the seawater humidity, can be optimized via addition of green nanoparticles (NPs). In-situ modification of silver (Ag) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) NPs with oleic acid (OA) was carried out during the formation of Ag−OA and CaCO3−OA, respectively. The epoxide oleic acid (EOA) was also used as capping for Ca−O3 NPs by in-situ method and epoxidation of Ag−OA NPs, too. The morphology, thermal stability, and the diameters of NPs, as well as their dispersion in organic solvent, were investigated. The effects of the prepared NPs on the exothermic curing of the epoxy resins in the presence of polyamines, flexibility or rigidity of epoxy coatings, wettability, and coatings durability in aggressive seawater environment were studied. The obtained results confirmed that the proper superhyrophobicity, coating adhesion, and thermal stability of the epoxy were improved after exposure to salt spray fog for 2000 h at 36 °C.

The in-situ monitoring of the MBE grown nanostructures can be carried out using the RHEED method. During the droplet epitaxal growth, the observation of the nanostructure formation is very important to understand the growth kinetics. In the present work, a novel in-situ RHEED evaluation and further MBE related developments are introduced, with which the quality of the nanostructure preparation can be improved.
