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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The structure and magneto-dielectric properties of Sm2NiMnO6 double perovskite have been investigated. The pure monoclinic bulk phase of Sm2NiMnO6 is an intrinsic B-site disordered ferromagnet showing a second order magnetic ...

An electrostatics-based approach has been proposed for probing the weak interactions between lone pair containing molecules and p deficient molecular systems. For electron-rich molecules, the negative minima in molecular ...

Design and development of cation receptors represent a fascinating area of research, particularly in dealing with chemical and biological applications that require finetuning of cation−π interactions. The electronic ...

Dual function, eco-catalyst material had been designed with nano ZnO@aluminosilicate mineral (ZnO@AlSi) and processed via microwave assisted in situ intercalation and crystal growth reactions. Dual function of ZnO@AlSi was ...

Novel non-toxic intense blue near-infrared reflecting inorganic pigments having the general formula Sr1-xLaxCu1-yLiySi4O10 (x = y ranges from 0 to 0.5) were developed as viable alternatives to existing toxic cobalt based ...

The LiMgPO4 ceramic has been prepared through the solid state ceramic route. The powder has an average particle size of 1.1 mu m and BET surface area of 2.7 m (2) g(-1). Good dispersion of LiMgPO4 has been achieved in ...

Magnetization (M), Magnetocaloric effect (MCE), and Magnetoresistance (MR) in Co substituted La0.67Sr0.33Mn1-xCoxO3 (x = 0.03, 0.05, and 0.1) samples have been investigated. All the studied samples were crystallized into ...
