Light-initiated fusion between vesicles has attracted much attention in the research community. In particular, fusion between photoresponsive and non-photoresponsive vesicles has been of much interest in the development of systems for the delivery of therapeutic agents to cells. We have performe...

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was used as a dual reducing- and stabilizing agent in the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and addition of Stӧber silica (SiO2) provided an efficient support. The silica was prepared by a sol-gel method, the added NCC confined the AgNPs and added stabil...

An enhancement of Cadmium oxide (CdO) based catalyst activity was observed on modification with silver (Ag) by hydrothermal route in a short time and at low temperature. The products were characterized by XRD, Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD confirming th...

A novel heterostructured MgFe2O4/Bi2MoO6 composites were rationally designed and successfully synthesized firstly by a successive hydrothermal process and in-situ ball-milling followed by high temperature calcination technology. The investigation showed that the MgFe2O4 nanoparticles were closel...

The degradation of 100 cm3 of 177 mg dm−3 of the triphenylmethane dye Malachite Green oxalate at pH 3.0 was studied by anodic oxidation with stainless steel cathode (AO-SS), AO with air-diffusion cathode (AO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) with UVA light. The main oxidiz...

In this work Tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and loaded on activated carbon (SnO2–NP–AC). Prepared SnO2–NP–AC was used as an adsorbent for the removal of Malachite green-oxalate from aqueous medium. The morphological properties of the prepared adsorbent were investigated by using X-...

Textile dyes such as malachite green are common contaminants in wastewater which are persistent in environment and also toxic to living organisms. In this study, live, growing cells of our patented bacterial strain, Bacillus cereus M116 – were used for bioremediation of one representative texti...

Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technologies are considered to be better technique for the degradation or mineralization of many recalcitrant compounds and pollutants. In the present study heterogeneous sonocatalytic degradation of a model organic compound such as Malachite green oxalate (MGO) ...

Different concentration malachite green oxalate (MGO) dye doped stretchable hydrogel have been prepared for synthetic circuits in flexible organic electronic devices by using the polymerization method. Frequency evolution of the tangent factor, complex impedance, phase angles, electric modulus, ...

A novel procedure is described for the derivatization of fatty acid epoxides in the presence of their corresponding diols. The acidic character of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzenethiol promotes favorable mass fragmentation of linoleate and arachidonate derived epoxide derivatives and reduces alkene is...

A synthesis of crystalline tris(trimethylsilyl)silyllithium · 3 THF is described. This stable compound can be used in hydrocarbon solvents to give improved yields of coupling products.

A (π-cyclopentadienyl)cobalt complex of tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)cyclobutadiene has been prepared by the reaction of bis(trimethylsily)acetylene and the dinuclear cobalt complex, di-π-cyclopentadienyl-μ-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylenedicobalt.

Treatment of an alkoxyacetyl derivative (3) of methylthiomethyl p-tolyl sulfone (1), easily obtainable from an alkoxyacetic ester and1, with such a base as triethylamine or DABCO affords 3-methylthio-2-oxopropanal acetal (4).

Methylthiomethyl p-tolyl sulfone (1) was conveniently alkylated to give mono- and dialkylated products (2 and 4). Reaction conditions for the trasformation of 2 and 4 into aldehydes (3) and ketones (5), respectively, were exploited.

Vilsmeier-Haack formylation of 3-acetyl-4-hydroxycoumarin (1) afforded the unexpected 3-chloro-3-(4-chlorocoumarin-3-yl)prop-2-enal (3). Compound 3 reacted with p-toluidine and benzylamine producing Schiff base 4 and enamine 6, respectively. Treatment of compound 3 with hydrazine hydrate produce...

Thirty-four novel, diaryl ω-(isothiocyanato)alkylphosphonates with chlorine atom and methoxy, dimethoxy, methylsulfanyl, or methoxycarbonyl groups at ortho, meta, or para positions of the phenyl ring, and with an unbranched alkyl chain (n = 2–6) were designed and synthesized in a one-pot react...

Twelve novel dihydro-caffeic acid amides were synthesised in good yields and fully characterised by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS. Their radical scavenging activities were assessed by DPPH assay. Additionally, their abilities to protect polyunsaturated oils under accelerated storage and frying conditi...

Oxidation of N-acyl- and N-methanesulfonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-methoxyisoquinolin-6-ols (7) with lead tetraacetate in dichloromethane produced quantitatively title compounds (o-QAs) (8). Treatment of N-trifluoroacetyl and N-formyl o-QAs (8a,b) with acetic acid at 30–40°C afforded N-trifluoroa...

Phase purity plays an important role in determining the properties of the material and its subsequent applications which depends on the synthesis conditions and dopant concentrations. Phase pure zinc selenide and nickel doped zinc selenide nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method us...

Secondary phosphine selenides react with acylacetylenes in water to form bis(2-acylvinyl) selenides. The reaction proceeds without catalyst and organic solvent under mild conditions (70–72 °C, 3 h), the corresponding divinyl selenides being isolated as a mixture of (Z,Z)- and (E,Z)-isomers in ...
