<div>and i'm trying to keep a straight face :) <br/> <br/>http://www.nmsl.chem.ccu.edu.tw/tea/tea_news.htm#Lemon <br/> <br/>It may look like a lemon, but a hollow nanocluster made from molybdenum oxide shows just how sophisticated inorganic nanostructures can be. <br/> <br/>25 April 2002 <br/> <br/>Philip Ball <br/> <br/>For building well-defined nanoscale structures using chemical self-assembly, organic molecules are generally the components of choice. They can be pre-programmed to self-assemble in ways that are uniquely dictated by their molecular structures and interactions, enabling the molecular engineer to exercise a strong element of design. A team of chemists in Germany now pose a stiff challenge to this organic 'nanochemistry' by reporting an extraordinarily large yet delicately sculpted nanoscale cluster made from an inorganic material: essentially molybdenum oxide. <br/> <br/>Achim M棊ler and colleagues at the University of Bielefeld have created a kind of lemon-shaped hollow cage in which the shell is composed mostly of octahedral building blocks1. These octahedra contain molybdenum in the +V and +VI oxidation states coordinated to oxygen, water and some sulphate ligands. The cage � essentially a sphere open at two tapering necks � has an internal cavity measuring about 2.5 by 4 nm, which contains about 400 water molecules in the crystalline material. <br/> <br/>The authors call it the 'nano-hedgehog', and point out that the way in which the octahedra (as well as some pentagonal bipyramidal units) link into three- and four-membered rings and larger geometric structures resembles both the topological basis of fullerene molecules and the packing of protein subunits in the coats of viruses. In all these cases, the overall shape and symmetry of the cluster arise essentially from the allowed ways of joining and packing together the underlying structural elements. <br/> <br/>This is by no means the first demonstration that complex yet orderly nanostructures can be made from inorganic units. M棊ler's group has pioneered the use of molybdenum oxide polyhedra as nanoscale building blocks, previously reporting their assembly into mesoscale wheel and ball clusters2. <br/> <br/>These clusters represent an extension of the well-known tendency of many transition-metal compounds to form extended crystal structures in one, two and three dimensions by the sharing of corners or edges of octahedral coordination complexes. Molybdenum and tungsten are distinguished by their ability to form complex anions (polyanions) from the linking of their octahedral complexes with oxygen. The size of these polyanions can be adjusted by the pH of the solution from which they form. <br/> <br/>It is this tunable and versatile structure-forming tendency that M棊ler and colleagues are now tapping into to make their remarkable nanoclusters. The new structure, which is deep blue in colour, was made by reducing an acidic solution of sodium molybdate, creating some Mo(V) centres among the Mo(VI). <br/> <br/>Might the nano-hedgehog be useful? The parent compound MoO3 acts as a selective oxidation catalyst, and it may be that catalytic reactions performed in the interior cavity of the cluster would show some size- or shape-selectivity of products reminiscent of that exhibited by microporous zeolites. The material might also have optical properties that could be tuned by varying the cluster size. Ligands at the cluster surface might be substituted for ones that could link the nanoscale objects together. <br/> <br/>The question remains as to whether clusters like these can be truly made to order: whether the conditions governing the self-assembly of the inorganic building blocks can be understood sufficiently for clusters of a particular size, shape and curvature to be accurately predicted in advance. Then we would really have a construction kit for inorganic nanochemistry to rival that of the organic world. <br/>References <br/> <br/> 1. M棊ler, A. , et al.

<div> <br/> <br/> <br/>SPREAD THE WORD... <br/> <br/>The amazing duo from the north is gracing us with their presence here in DC, Sunday Dec 8th for a tribal fusion belly dance workshop! And following the workshop we'll be celebrating the holidays at our HOLIDAY HAFLA! open to people interested the tribal belly dance community in the DC area! <br/> <br/>Melanie and Karin began their history together as a collaboration for a New Jersey Renaissance Kingdom performance. From there, the duo Kassar was born. They have been dancing together as Kassar for the past seven years, all the while studying with numerous instructors of the tribal persuasion. Between them, they also bring a background rich in formal ballet training, West African dance, tango fusion and Indian dance technique. This has culminated in the development of their own unique, highly-acclaimed style of tribal bellydance. Kassar has since grown to both teach workshops and perform nationwide. They are extremely pleased and excited to be teaching their first workshop in the DC area. www.kassar <br/> <br/>Layers &amp; Isolations Workshop $45 <br/>Think you have mastered your isolations? Join Kassar for a workshop that will push your boundaries and train your mind and body to connect and move in unique ways. We'll layer basic isolations, expanding your technique repertoire and movement vocabulary. An open mind and a basic mastery of tribal isolations is recommended, but not required. This challenging workshop is open to belly dancers of all levels. <br/>register at www.dctribal.com <br/> <br/>Location <br/>McLean School of Ballet &amp; Jazz <br/>1437 Emerson Avenue <br/>McLean, VA 22101 <br/>Click here to view a map of the studio location, or visit Google maps to obtain detailed directions. <br/> <br/>followed by our Holiday Hafla!!!!! $10 <br/>Join DCTribal as we celebrate the holiday season with some dancing and live music!
