The reaction of an acetylchlorin or diacetylbacteriochlorin with an aldehyde under microwave conditions readily affords the corresponding hydroporphyrin-chalcone. The aldehydes include aryl aldehydes, cinnamaldehyde, and all-trans-retinal. The chalcone causes a bathochromic shift of the long-wavelength absorption band…

Chlorinated phenols and chlorophenoxy radicals are known as predominant precursors for forming polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF), which are highly carcinogenic and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to explore the poten…

Photocurrent generation measured with an electrochemical cell on carbon nanotubes has been obtained mainly from single-walled nanostructures. In fact, multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were not expected to show analogous low-dimensional effects, due to their close similarity to metallic graphite. Recently we reporte…

Phase diagram of benzoic acid (BA)–o-chloro benzoic acid (o-CBA) system has been studied by thaw melt method and the results show the formation of a simple eutectic mixture. Heats of fusion values of the components and eutectic mixture were determined with the help of differential scanning calorimeter. Excess Gibb's f…

ABSTRACT: The generalized equivalent circuit for Hebb-Wagner polarization in the frequency domain proposed by Jamnik and Maier (J Electrochem Soc 146:4183, 1999) includes the space-charge polarization that was previously neglected. In the present work, using a self-coded Fortran program, the completely generalized equ…

A high number-density of nanometer-sized stacking fault tetrahedra are commonly found during irradiation of low stacking fault energy metals. The stacking fault tetrahedra act as obstacles to dislocation motion leading to increased yield strength and decreased ductility. Thus, an improved understanding of the interact…

We consider a particular class of molecular electronic devices (MEDs) built around the photoactive dithienylethene switch. Light of an appropriate frequency can convert the switch from a high to a low conductance form. Various derivatives of the dithienylethene that have recently been investigated experimentally are m…

In this paper, we investigate the mechanics of a nanoscaled gigahertz oscillator comprising a carbon molecule oscillating within the centre of a uniform concentric ring or bundle of carbon nanotubes. Two kinds of oscillating molecules are considered, which are a carbon nanotube and a C(60) fullerene. Using the Lennard…
