Anisotropic nanocrystals of gold and silver are promising candidates for sensing and therapeutic applications because of their high extinction coefficient, increased NIR response and localization of hot spots at their ...

An adj-dicarbacorrole with CCNN in the core is achieved by replacing the bipyrrole moiety by a simple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, such as biphenyl unit. Spectroscopic studies and structural analyzes confirm the absence ...

Titania aerogels were synthesized by sol–gel route followed by ambient pressure subcritical drying technique. The aerogels synthesized in the present work possess a maximum surface area of 252 m2 /g. The pore size distribution ...

Background: Perchlorate is an emerging water contaminant that disrupts normal functioning of human thyroid gland and poses serious threat to health, especially for pregnant women, fetus and children. Results: High level ...

Nanosized cerium oxide (CeO2) particles possessing different morphologies like nanorods, nanocubes and nanospheres have been successfully synthesized by a simple one step, surfactant free, precipitation technique and by ...

Zirconium hydride-catalyzed C═C double bond migration from nonconjugated to conjugated dienes is described. Applied to 1-substituted 1,4-dihydrofulvenes, the migration leads selectively to 1-substituted 1,2-dihydrofulvenes. ...

Mutual disposition and conformational preferences of functional groups can induce variations in the nature and types of interactions and hence the molecular arrangements in the rigid crystal environment. We comprehensively ...

The use of NHCs for generating homoenolate species has gained widespread popularity in recent years. A number of highly stereoselective processes of NHC-homoenolates have emerged. Homoenolate reactions have also been ...

Two donor–p–acceptor type fluorophores consisting of anthracene as the donor and benzoxazole (ABO) or benzothiazole (ABT) as the acceptor are synthesised. Both fluorophores exhibit excellent solid state luminescence, and ...

Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) can be synthesized by adopting different microbial fermentation strategies, of which submerged fermentation has been exploited largely. In the past few years, solid-state fermentation (SSF) ...
