Inspired by the contribution of the protein scaffold to the efficiency with which enzymes function, we used outer coordination sphere features to develop a novel molecular electrocatalyst for the reversible production/oxidation ...

The synthesis of novel and efficient catalysts for acetylene hydrogenation exhibiting high selectivity towards ethylene is important due to the presence of selective acetylene hydrogenation reaction in petrochemical ...

The synthesis, photophysical investigations, and organogel formation of pyrene-phenyl acrylonitriles (1–6) bearing mono-, di-, and trichiral and racemic substitutions were studied. The molecules self-assemble in water and ...

The recovery of ammonium ions or ammonia from wastewater using bioadsorbents offers an attractive sustainable route to nitrogen reuse and environmental remediation. In this work, we have studied the ability of banana peel ...

In glassy isopentane at 77 K, 1-phenyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-cis-1,cis-3-butadiene (cc-PPyB) and 1-phenyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-cis-1,trans-3-butadiene (ct-PPyB) can undergo simultaneous two-bond photoisomerization. Under the same conditions, ...

Donor-Acceptor type BODIPYs with strong absorption and fluorescence in the red region (550�800 nm) are reported. The aromatic groups like N-butylcarbazole/ N-butylphenothiazine/ benzothiadiazole were attached to the C-8 ...

We show that nanosheets obtained by exfoliating magnesium diboride bear an intrinsic ability to elicit chemical reduction of quinone-based molecules. They also reduce gold salt into ultra-small gold nanoparticles and ...

A series of bis-BODIPYs 1-6 bridged via thiophene, furan, N-alkylcarbazole, triphenyl amine, para- and meta-phenylene groups have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The change in ...

We present a systematic investigation capturing the charge and size effects of ions interacting with a graphene surface using polarizable simulations. Our results utilizing the Drude polarizable force field (FF) for ions, ...

Difluoroboron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) are highly popular fluorescent dyes with applications as NIR probes for bioimaging, fluorescent tags/sensors and as photosensitizers in cancer therapy and organic photovoltaics. This ...
