RESUMEN
Our work examines the structural-electronic correlation of a new curcuminoid, AlkCCMoid, as a dielectric material on different substrates. For this purpose, we show a homemade sublimation method that allows the direct deposition of molecules on any type of matrix. The electronic properties of AlkCCMoid have been evaluated by measurements on single crystals, microcrystalline powder, and sublimated samples, respectively. GIWAXS studies on surfaces and XRD studies on powder have revealed the existence of polymorphs and the effect that substrates have on curcuminoid organization. We describe the dielectric nature of our system and identify how different polymorphs can affect electronic parameters such as permittivity, all corroborated by DFT calculations.
RESUMEN
We demonstrate that non-equilibrium nuclear spin order survives precipitation from solution and redissolution. The effect is demonstrated on 13 C- and 2 H-labeled sodium fumarate, with precipitation and dissolution achieved by altering the pH. The lifetime of the spin magnetization in the precipitate suspension is found to be much longer than in solution. Our preliminary results show an extension of the effective relaxation time T1 for the metabolite fumarate by a factor of ≈6. We show that when the free radical agent TEMPO is present in the solution, it is not incorporated into the precipitate, suggesting that this procedure may provide a means to store and transport agents polarized by dynamic nuclear polarization. Although the relaxation time, T1 , of the precipitate suspension is longer than that of the same molecules in solution, it is significantly shorter than that observed in the immobilized solid state.
