A series of cyanostilbene based D−π–A derivatives, comprising 6-(diethylamino)coumarin as a donor and benzene and benzothiazole as acceptors bridged by different π-spacers (benzene, thiophene), have been synthesized and ...

A modified reciprocal lattice based model is proposed to study orientation relationship between a film and a substrate. The model is derived from a 3D version applicable to study precipitation crystallography in materials. ...

A water soluble N-methylpyridinium dye (DABP) was synthesized and investigated as a fluorescence probe for the detection of anionic surfactants. DABP shows strong solvatochromism with emission at 685 nm in water. The ...

The first regio? and enantioselective organocatalytic cascade ?,? ?dialkylation of ? , ? ?unsaturated aldehydes is achieved. Substrates scope is demonstrated with a variety of ? , ? ?unsaturated aldehydes and alkylating ...

Hydrogenase enzymes are reversible catalysts for H2 production/oxidation, operating with fast rates and minimal overpotentials in water. Many synthetic catalyst mimics of hydrogenase operate in organic solvents. However, ...

A homozygous mutation of human tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) causes the neurodegenerative syndrome, spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1). TDP1 hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bond between DNA 3?-end ...

A series of p-nitro substituted trans-diphenylbutadienes is synthesized and their photophysical and photochemical properties are investigated. All the dienes have a very low quantum yield of fluorescence but exhibit ...
