The synthesis and photo-physical properties of an original bis-pyridinylpyrazine chromophore efficiently sensitising europium(III) and samarium(III) are described. The corresponding lanthanide(III) complexes display in aqueous solutions a maximum excitation wavelength which is significantly red-shifted compared to the…
Cuprous oxide agglomerates composed of 4-10 nm Cu2O nanoparticles were deposited on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and on ZnO/MWCNTs to give binary [Cu2O/MWCNT] and ternary [Cu2O/ZnO/MWCNT] composites. Di-aqua-bis[2-(methoxyimino)propanoato]copper Cu[O2CCCH3NOMe](2)·2H2O 1 in DMF was used as single source precu…
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 (Tiam1) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of several different tumors; however, to date, little research has been done to verify the potential role of Tiam1 as a prognostic marker for esophageal squamous cell…
Ln(Sr,Ca)3(Fe,Co)3O10 (Ln = La, Nd, and Gd) oxides crystallizing in a perovskite-related intergrowth structure have been synthesized and explored as new cathode materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The crystal structures of the Ln(Sr,Ca)3(Fe,Co)3O10 samples could be refined based on the tetragonal space groupI…
Two phenylboronic acid based saccharide sensors bearing conjugated oligomer fluorophores with linear and cruciform π-frameworks were synthesized in a modular approach utilizing a Cu-catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (click) reaction. The cruciform fluorophore showed excellent saccharide sensing function under physi…
A simple triethoxysilane appended bis(urea) low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) affords strong gels in organic solvents that are susceptible to fine tuning by anion binding, while the gel structure can be rigidified into a porous hybrid polymer material by hydrolysis of the triethoxysilane end groups.
Iron(III)-based single-molecule magnets have been covalently grafted on Au(111) in one step using 1,2-dithiolan-3-yl side groups. Reaction with the substrate quantitatively affords a monolayer of electronically intact clusters doubly linked to the surface via Au-S bonds, as demonstrated by a combination of STM, XAS/XM…
This study demonstrates that configurations that include gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as the primary layer attached to a TiO2 electrode with quantum dots (QDs) as the secondary layer have superior photoelectrochemical properties. We found that all Au–QD nanoparticle hybrid systems reveal enhanced photocurrent generatio…
We describe here a one-step synthesis of hybrid metal nanoparticles (MNPs) and polymer composites on glass substrates using poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as both the reducing agent and polymer matrix. With this method, it takes only one minute to produce a nanocomposite thin film that contains MNPs with controlled siz…
The synthesis and characterisation of two new octahedral iron(II) SCO coordination polymers [FeL1(bimm)] (1) and [FeL2(bppa)](MeOH)0.5 (2) (L1 = [3,3′]-[1,2-phenylenebis(iminomethylidyne)bis(4-phenyl-2,4-butanedionato)(2-)-N,N′,O2,O2′], L2 = [E,E]-[{diethyl 2,2′-1,2-phenylenebis(iminomethylidyne)bis(3-oxo-3-phenylprop…
A very efficient and successful metal-mediated strategy towards the formation of a non-symmetric triad is described: appropriate Lewis acid and/or base functions on the molecular components (a naphthalenediimide, an aluminium(III) porphyrin, and a ruthenium(II) porphyrin) lead to the desired product uniquely. The phot…
We present a novel strategy to fabricate anisotropic multicompartment Janus capsules by embedding larger containers into a soft poly-L-lysine/hyaluronic acid (PLL/HA) polymeric film, followed by adsorption of smaller containers on top of their unmasked surface. This research is also attractive for developing substrate…
Abstract Segmented polyurethanes exhibiting shape memory properties were modified by the addition of polyaniline (PANI)‐coated cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). The two‐phase structure of the polymer is responsible for the material's ability to ‘remember’ and autonomously recover its original shape after being deformed in…
The dynamics of dilute suspensions of charged polystyrene spheres have been studied in a sinusoidal potential. We investigated experimentally and theoretically the effect of the wavelength and amplitude of this potential as well as the particle size on the mean square displacement, the distribution of displacements an…
Four sensitising anions naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate (15-NDS), naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (26-NDC), benzoate (BA) and terephthalate (TA) were intercalated into a Eu(3+)-doped Zn/Al layered double hydroxide. The carboxylate anions enhanced the red luminescence of Eu(3+) much more strongly than the sulfonate, in the d…
BACKGROUND: Gluten has been investigated as a source for biodegradable polymeric materials because it is a renewable, available and low-cost raw material. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of some variables involved in the two stages of protein/plasticiser thermo-mechanical processing, where a mixtur…
Bimetallic 15 nm Rh(1-x)Pd(x) nanoparticle catalysts of five different compositions and supported on Si wafers have been synthesized, characterized using TEM, SEM, and XPS, and studied in CO oxidation by O(2) in two pressure regimes: atmospheric pressure and 100-200 mTorr. The RhPd bimetallic nanocrystals exhibited si…
The recent advances on the effects of microstructural refinement and various nano-catalytic additives on the hydrogen storage properties of metal and complex hydrides obtained in the last few years in the allied laboratories at the University of Waterloo (Canada) and Military University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland)…
Abstract Adsorption has been proven to be the most efficient method for quickly lowering the concentration of dissolved dyes in an effluent. In this regard, activated carbon is the most widely used adsorbent for removal of dyes from aqueous solution. However, the high cost of production and regeneration make it unecon…
Highly porous polymeric materials are prepared by thiol–ene and thiol–yne mediated network formation using high internal phase emulsion templates. The efficiency of network formation is between 80 and 90% for all materials while the thiol–yne materials display enhanced strength and toughness due to their higher degree…
