A series of 2,2'-bipyrimidine-bridged dinuclear lanthanide complexes with the general formula [Ln(tmhd)3]2bpm (tmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate, bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine, Ln = Gd(III), 1; Tb(III), 2; Dy(III), 3; Ho(III), 4 and Er(III), 5) has been synthesized and characterized. Sublimation of [Tb(tmhd)3]2b…
Bi n +1 Fe n −3 Ti 3 O 3 n +1 (BFT‐ n , n = 6, 7, 8, 9) ceramics were prepared using Pechini's method and their magnetic behaviors were investigated. XRD and HRTEM results suggested that BFT‐ n have the pure Aurivillius structure. Magnetic properties of BFT‐ n depend largely on their layer numbers. BFT‐6 exhibits a pa…
Dopant-free and cost-effective sprayed cadmium oxide (CdO) conducting base-electrodes, obtained at different concentrations (0.5, 1 and 1.5 M), characterized for their structures, morphologies and conductivities by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and electrical conductivity measurements, respecti…
Improvements in crystallographic hardware and software have allowed automated structure-solution pipelines to approach a near-`one-click' experience for the initial determination of macromolecular structures. However, in many cases the resulting initial model requires a laborious, iterative process of refinement and v…
Three new carbonate halides, Cs3 Pb2 (CO3 )3 I, KBa2 (CO3 )2 F and RbBa2 (CO3 )2 F have been synthesized with hydrothermal and solid-state methods. Cs3 Pb2 (CO3 )3 I is the first product in the lead carbonate iodides family; KBa2 (CO3 )2 F and RbBa2 (CO3 )2 F are the first two centrosymmetric compounds found in the al…
Fertilisers containing ammonium nitrate are the most efficient sources of nitrogen used in agriculture. The major hazard associated with production, storage and transport of materials containing this compound is its liability to rapid decomposition, or even detonation under certain conditions. Properly selected calciu…
Seeds enable plants to germinate and to grow in situations of limited availability of nutrients. The stable storage of different seed proteins is a remarkable presumption for successful germination and growth. These strategies have been adapted and used in several molecular farming projects. In this study, we explore…
The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) to distribute the molecular polarizability tensors over submolecular sites is employed to improve the prediction of local field tensors of molecular crystals and therefore of their linear and second-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities. This extension of the two-ste…
Abstract Mono‐ and bis(diphenylborane)‐fused porphyrins were synthesized from the corresponding β‐(2‐trimethylsilylphenyl)‐substituted porphyrins through the sequence of Si–B exchange reaction, intramolecular bora‐Friedel–Crafts reaction, and ring‐closing Si–B exchange reaction. Effective electronic interactions of th…
UV (Ultra-Violet) light-driven change in optical absorption of polyaniline (PANI) is reported. Irradiation of UV light to PANI/camphor sulfonic acid prepared by electrochemical polymerization allows dedoping of the PANI. Especially, UV light irradiation in the presence of a radical trap agent effectively reduces (dedo…
In order to characterize a representative natural bionanomaterial, present day centric diatom samples (diameter, 175-310 µm) have been analyzed and imaged by infrared (IR) micro-spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Because diatom silica frustules have complex microscopic morphology, including many void…
We report observation of magneto-electric and magneto-dielectric couplings along with short range ferromagnetic order in ceramic Cobalt Tellurate (Co3TeO6, CTO) using magnetic, structural, dielectric, pyroelectric, and polarization studies. DC magnetization along with dielectric constant measurements indicate a coupli…
The silver nanoparticle-decorated suspended graphene was proposed and fabricated to increase the efficiency of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) mainly by the enhanced electric field resulting from exciting the localized surface plasmon resonance. The morphology of cavity under the graphene was controlled by th…
Abstract Controlling or switching the optical signal from a large collection of molecules with the minimum of photons represents an extremely attractive concept. Promising fundamental and practical applications may be derived from such a photon‐saving principle. With this aim in mind, we have prepared fluorescent phot…
Atomistic modeling of light driven electron dynamics are important in studies of photoactive materials. Spin-resolved electronic structure calculations become necessary when dealing with transition metal, magnetic, and even some carbon materials, intermediates, and radicals. An approximate treatment can be pursued in…
Copper and nickel nanoparticles were synthesized using reducing agents in the presence of direct high energy ultra-sonication. The metallic nanoparticles were decorated on various ceramic substrates (e.g. α-Al2O3, and TiO2) leading to metal reinforced ceramics with up to 45% metallic content. Different parameters, suc…
In this study, the performance of poly(layered double hydroxides) [poly(LDHs)] beads as an adsorbent for arsenate removal from aqueous solution was investigated. The poly(LDHs) beads were prepared by immobilizing LDHs into spherical alginate/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-glutaraldehyde beads (spherical polymer beads). Batch…
Fluctuations of the dipole moment of a macroscopic dielectric sample are induced by thermal motions. The variance of the sample dipole moment, characterizing the extent of thermal fluctuations, is a decaying function of temperature for many polar liquids. This result is inconsistent with the Nyquist (fluctuation-dissi…
Abstract Organic optoelectronics are promising technologies for energy conversion. However, the electrode interlayer, a key material between active layers and conducting electrodes that controls the transport of charge carriers in and out of devices, is still a chemical challenge. Herein, we report a class of porous o…
Collagen is the most predominant component of the extracellular matrix. Natural collagens consist of all identical (AAA, homotrimer), two different (AAB, heterotrimer), or three different (ABC, heterotrimer) peptide chains. Many natural collagens are either AAB- or ABC-type heterotrimers, making heterotrimeric helices…
