The tautomeric equilibria of 2-(4'-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (HABA) and 2-(3',5'-dimethyl-4'-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (3',5'-dimethyl-HABA) have been studied by a combination of spectroscopic and computational methods. For neutral HABA in solvents of different polarity (toluene, chloroform, DMSO, DMF, butanol, and ethanol) the azo tautomer

Shell cross-linked nanoparticles (SCKs) presenting surface- and bioavailable biotin functional groups were synthesized via a mixed micelle methodology, whereby co-micellization of chain terminal biotinylated poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(methyl acrylate) (PAA-b-PMA) and nonbiotinylated PAA-b-PMA were cross-linked in an intramicellar fashion within the shell
