摘要:
Disclosed is an aromatic compound expressed by the general formula (I), wherein A represents of a fused aromatic hydrocarbon moiety such as triphenylene, X represents a hydrogen-bonding site such as an atomic group containing an amide linkage, Y represents a chain functional group such as an alkyl group having 3 to 18, preferably 10 to 18 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer ranging from 2 to 10. The aromatic compound forms a molecular assembly in which the aromatic rings mutually overlap and exhibits an excellent charge carrier transfer property. AX—Y)n (I)
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improvement in the process for preparing a calixarene derivative in which the rotation of its benzene units are hindered and which comprises replacing all or a part of the hydrogen atoms of the hydroxyl groups of a calixarene derivative represented by the general formula: ##STR1## and is characterized by conducting the reaction in the presence of an alkaline earth metal. According to the present invention, an asymmetric calixarene derivative having a "cone" conformation can be selectively prepared by virtue of the template effect of the metal.

A problem of the present invention is to prevent a base layer beneath the layer to be irradiated with light from deterioration in property and a functional thin film from deterioration in property as the fine patterning of a functional film is performed with light irradiation. Means for solving the problem is a compound obtained by dimerizing with light irradiation a compound (A) containing a group that has photosensitivity and can be photodimerized and a group having lyophilicity and a compound (B) containing a group that has photosensitivity and can be photodimerized and a group having liquid-repellency.
摘要:
Disclosed is a complex which comprises a carbon nanotube and a modified polysaccharide having a backbone chain with the side thereof being introduced with monosaccharide or oligosaccharide residues. The polysaccharide is preferably β-1,3-glucan. The complex is prepared by admixing a solution of the modified polysaccharide dissolved in an aprotic polar solvent or a strong alkali solution with an aqueous dispersion of the carbon nanotube, and incubating the mixture.
摘要:
To provide a new technique by which efficient transfection is ensured in delivering a target gene into a cell, disclosed is a nucleic acid construct for nuclear import, which comprises a ternary complex consisting of a nucleic acid substance containing a gene to be delivered into the nucleus of a cell, an importin protein (for example, importin-β) capable of passing through the nuclear pore and involved in the nuclear transport, and a binding substance (for example, polyethyleneimine) bound to both of the nucleic acid substance and the importin protein. Nucleic acid transport from outside of a cell into the cell nucleus can be particularly promoted by administering the nucleic acid construct bound to a cell membrane receptor binding factor and/or a membrane fusing substance, or administering the nucleic acid construct encapsulated in a non-viral vector (for example, Sendai virus envelope) having cell membrane permeability and membrane fusing properties.
