A Pd-catalyzed synthesis of 3,4,5-trisubstituted cyclopentenes from diazabicyclic olefins and o-iodobenzoates has been developed. The hitherto unknown cascade process involves three stages: carbopalladation, oxypalladation ...

M06L/6-311++G(d,p)//M06L/6-31G(d,p) level density functional theory studies show that the endohedral reaction of C60 with X (X = F, Cl, Br, OH, NH2, NO2, CN, and ClO) is exothermic by 37.8–65.2 kcal mol 1. The exothermic ...

In the present study, we report the synthesis of Fe3O4 and Zn-doped Fe3O4(Zn/Fe3O4) nanoparticles by a simple coprecipitation method. The morphology, structure and optical properties of the samples are characterized by ...

The use of enzymes or microorganisms in food preparations is an age-old process. With the advancement of technology, novel enzymes with wide range of applications and specificity have been developed and new application ...

The relevance of substituent effects in the design and development of novel molecules has considerable interest in many industrial and synthetic reactions in organic chemistry. Molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) ...

Most of the crop plants contain about 30% of hemicelluloses comprising D-xylose and D-arabinose. One of the major limitation for the use of pentose sugars is that high purity grade D-xylose and D-arabinose are yet to ...

Cure characteristics, Mooney viscosity and physico-mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR) containing CTAB modified kaolin have been studied. NR mix containing 6 phr (parts per hundred part rubber) of CTAB modified ...

Herein we discuss the differential interaction of three monosubstituted fullerene derivatives possessing pyridinium, aniline or phenothiazine end groups (F-Py, F-An and F-PTz, respectively) with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA), ...

A series of cardiovascular complications associated with hyperglycemia is a critical threat to the diabetic population. Here we elucidate the link between hyperglycemia and cardiovascular diseases onset, focusing on oxidative ...

Herein, we combine the ideas of concerted emission from fluorophore ensembles and its further amplification through FRET in an organic–inorganic hybrid approach. Spherical and highly fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONPs, ...
