The existence of a hitherto unrecognized 1,3-metal-carbon bond (1,3-MC bond) in particular types of transition-metal complexes is proposed using evidence from CCD X-ray structure analysis and DFT calculations. The name ...

As tea is a long duration perennial crop it is very much prone to attack by several pathogens. Brown root rot disease (Fomeslamoensis (Murr.) Sacc. and Trott) is the one of the important primary root disease of teawhich, ...

Isodeoxyelephantopin (IDOE), a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from chloroform extract of Elephantopus scaber has been shown anticancer effects in various cancer cell lines. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxic ...

Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been long used as a chemotherapeutic agent because of its significant anticancer property. Unfortunately, the use of ATO is limited due to its cardiotoxic effects. The present study evaluates the ...

Mechanism of autotandem catalytic reactions involving EtNH2 and EtOH promoted by the complex (PNP)Ru(CO)H (1) has been investigated at the TPSS level of DFT (PNP = C3H3N((CH2PBu2)-Bu-t)((CHPBu2)-Bu-t), C5H3N-((CH2PPr2)-P ...

Although tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has shown efficacy in a phase 2 clinical trial, development of resistance to TRAIL by tumor cells is a major roadblock. We investigated whether ...

The effect of Ba(Zn1/3Ta2/3)O3 (BZT) ceramic filler on the dielectric, mechanical and thermal properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix have been investigated. The dispersion of BZT particles in the matrix was ...

Biobutanol from lignocellulosic biomass has gained much attention due to several advantages over bioethanol. Though microbial production of butanol through ABE fermentation is an established technology, the use of ...

Three new lanthanide heterocyclic β-diketonate complexes [Dy(PPI)3(EtOH)2] (1), [Dy(PPI)3(DPEPO)] (2), and [Tb(PPI)3(DPEPO)] (3) [where HPPI = 3-phenyl-4- p ro pa n o y l - 5 - i s o x a z o l one and DPEPO = b i s ( 2 ...

Bulk ZnO nanorod assemblies have been successfully fabricated on CuO nanowires through spin coating of organoprecursor gels. A thin film of CuO nanowires was first generated by direct heating of a metallic Cu-foil at 500 ...
