- Abstract:
- ... A new colorimetric and fluorescence molecular chemosensor based on triazole hydrazone can be used as a multi-probe for selective detection of Al³⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cu²⁺ by monitoring changes in the absorption and fluorescence spectral patterns. Results show that Al³⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions can induce remarkable fluorescence enhancement at pH 6.0 and pH 10.0, respectively, while the addition of Cu²⁺ ions leads to ...

A very simple, ultra-sensitive and highly selective non-extractive spectrofluorimetric method is presented for the determination of manganese at nano-trace levels using 2-(α-pyridyl)-thioquinaldinamide (PTQA). PTQA has been proposed as a new analytical reagent for the direct non-extractive spectrofluorimetric determination of manganese(vii). This novel fluorimetric reagent, PTQA becomes oxidized i ...

- Abstract:
- ... To date, great achievements with GC-MS, HPLC-MS, and fluorescence biosensing techniques have been made to detect illegal additives of salbutamol (SAL) in swine meat. However, these methods are not suitable for rapid on-site screening due to either costly instruments or rather complicated and/or time consuming sample pretreatments. Herein, a simple, rapid and ultrasensitive approach based on an azo ...

- Abstract:
- ... A practical and environmentally benign synthesis of poly-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines from readily available starting materials has been developed. This process features an unprecedented intermolecular formal [3+3]-annulation of imines and 1,3,5-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazines under catalyst-free conditions. Importantly, differing from previous transformations, the 1,3,5-triazines are firstly utili ...

- Abstract:

ZnO nanostructures can be synthesized using different techniques for gas sensor applications, but different synthesis methods produce different morphologies, specific surface areas, crystal sizes, and physical properties, which consequently influence the gas-sensing properties of materials. Many parameters such as morphology, specific surface areas, crystal sizes, and defect level can influence th ...

- Abstract:
- ... Biomass-derived oils are recognised as the most promising renewable resources for the production of ester-based biolubricants due to their biodegradable, non-toxic and metal adhering properties. Homogeneous acid catalysts have been conventionally used in catalytic esterification and transesterification for the synthesis of ester-based biolubricants. Although homogeneous acid catalysts encounter di ...

A copper-catalyzed direct C–H arylation or vinylation of BODIPYs at the β-position by iodonium salts has been developed, which provides facile access to a variety of mono-substituted BODIPY dyes. Interestingly, β-styryl BODIPY compound 9b exhibits apparent cytotoxicity after laser irradiation, which has great potential for photodynamic therapy. ...

We fabricated amorphous InGaZnO thin film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs) with aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) as a gate insulator grown through atomic layer deposition (ALD) method at different deposition temperatures (Tdₑₚ). The Al₂O₃ gate insulator with a low Tdₑₚ exhibited a high amount of hydrogen in the film, and the relationship between the hydrogen content and the electrical properties of the TFTs was in ...

- Abstract:
- ... Polymeric nanocarriers are promising entities for cancer diagnosis and therapy. The aim of such nanocarriers is to selectively accumulate in cancerous tissue that is difficult to visualize or treat. The passive accumulation of a nanocarrier in a tumor through extravasation is often attributed to the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect and the size and shape of the nanocarrier. However, ...

Density functional theory reveals that better ORR performance of Ag atoms on Ag₃PO₄ surface than that on pure silver surface originates from more appropriate oxygen adsorption on positively charged Ag atoms. Further study of the surface geometry of Ag₃PO₄ inc ...
