Nanocrystals have the potential to address the challenges of delivering drugs with low aqueous solubility. In this study, the use of low energy anti-solvent precipitation for producing nanocrystals has been investigated. Stable nanocrystals with uniform particle size were prepared for the three model compounds, glybur…

We systematically investigate and quantify different physical phenomena influencing the deposition rate, aD, of Nb coatings prepared by high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS), and propose a straightforward approach for deposition rate enhancement through the control of the magnetron's magnetic field. The mag…

Abstract Systematic creation of polymeric semiconductors from novel building blocks is critical for improving charge transport properties in organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs). A series of ultralow‐bandgap polymers containing thienoisoindigo (TIIG) as a thiophene analogue of isoindigo (IIG) is synthesized. The U…

Molybdenite (MoS 2 ) is a material that has been previously studied for its photoelectrochemical properties in bulk form and, more recently, for its electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution properties in various nanostructured forms. Herein, we aim to address the properties of bulk and nanostructured MoS 2 in order to asse…

Although the understanding of ion specific effects on the aqueous solubilities of biomolecules is crucial for the development of many areas of biochemistry and life sciences, a consensual and well-supported molecular picture of the phenomena has not yet been established. Mostly, the influence of cations and the nature…

The many manifestations of aromaticity have long fascinated both experimentalists and theoreticians. Due to their degenerate half-filled MOs, triplet [n]annulenes with 4n π-electrons are also aromatic, but the degree of their stabilization has been difficult to quantify. The isomerization stabilization energy (ISE) me…

The southern Italian karst bauxite deposits occur at a Late Cretaceous hiatus on a Bahamian-type carbonate platform succession cropping out in the southern Apennines, and are mainly located in the Abruzzi Mountains, in Apulia (Gargano peninsula and Murge area), and in Campania. The bauxites of southern Italy are prese…

In this paper, the temperature dependence of Cr(III) oxidation in high temperature processes and the subsequent Cr(VI) leaching was studied using synthetic mixtures. It was experimentally shown that in the presence of alkali and alkaline earth salts, oxidation of Cr(III) takes place, consistent with thermodynamic calc…
