The reaction of hydroxyl radical (•OH) with the nucleic acid base analogue 2-thiouracil (1) has been studied by pulse radiolysis experiments and DFT. The generic intermediate radicals feasible for the •OH reactions with ...

Titanium dioxide doped with iron oxide (0–10 mol%) has been synthesized by an aqueous sol–gel method. The extent of phase transformation is higher in presence of up to 1 mol% of Fe3þ ions in doped titania. A further increase ...

Titanium dioxide photocatalysts co-doped with iron(III) and lanthanum(III) have been prepared through a modified sol–gel method. Doping with Fe3þ resulted in a relatively lower anatase to rutile phase transformation ...

BACKGROUND: Ginger, the rhizome of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae), a perennial herbaceous plant is native to Southern Asia. Study was aimed to evaluate antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of ginger extract ...

Cyanate ester and Bisphenol-F blends with manganese acetylacetonate in nonylphenol as catalyst and cocatalysts respectively is an attractive candidate as the insulation impregnation materials for fusion grade magnets ...

Hybrid silica spheres (HS) of size 270−350 nm with vinyl and aminopropyl surface groups were incorporated in polystyrene (PS),and its effect on dielectric properties, coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE), and strength of ...

A sugar-based photoresponsive supergelator, N-glycosylazobenzene that shows selective gelation of aromatic solvents is described. The partialtrans cis isomerization of the azobenzene moiety allows photoinduced chopping of ...

A new orange-red emitting phosphor La3−xNbO7:xEu3+ (x=0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) was prepared by a solidstate reaction route. Studies revealed the incorporation of Eu3+ into two differently coordinated La3+ sites, thereby ...

A facile aqueous sol–gel route involving precipitation–peptization mechanism followed by electrostatic stabilization is used for synthesizing nanocrystalline composite containing lanthanum phosphate and yttria. Lanthanum ...

The syntheses and spectral/structural characterization of ansa-ferrocene-incorporated normal calixphyrins and core-modif ied calixpyrroles and calixphyrins are reported.Acid-promoted dehydrative condensation of ...
