Analysis of reaction pathways on the catalytic conversion of CO2 using quantum mechanical calculations
(2015)
The greenhouse gas CO2 is an inexpensive and abundant feedstock that may be used to produce valuable organic compounds. The main goal of this work was to unravel reaction pathways for CO2 conversion through hydrogenation ...
Structural, textural and gas adsorption properties of M(bdc)(ted)0.5 (M = Zn, Cu or Ni) upon spontaneous dispersion of metal salts
(2016)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a family of nanoporous materials that have been well-studied during the past decades. Their high surface area, well defined pores, ease of assembly and good thermal stability are some ...
Size controlled synthesis of metallic magnetic nanocrystals for potential data storage and biomedical applications
(2013)
Magnetic nanoparticles have attracted extensive interest in recent years due to their potential applications as a consequence of their tunable magnetic properties. Therefore, research efforts are focused on the development ...
NMR structural determinants of lucina pectinata hemoglobin I active center moieties
(2013)
The clam Lucina pectinata Hemoglobin I (HbI) is a monomeric protein with a prosthetic group, known as heme group, in which the iron atom can either be in the ferrous (Fe(II)) or the ferric (Fe(III)) oxidation state. This ...
Synthesis, characterization, cytotoxic studies, and biosensor development of ferrocenecarboxylate complexes
(2013)
The application of ferrocene chemistry in biosensing and as potential anti-cancer drug is presented in this research work. A series of modified ferrocenes with a variety of groups were synthesized and their structures ...
Experimental and Ab initio studies of intramolecular Ph/Cl exchange on Wilkinson’s catalyst and ligand-centered electrochemistry of ligand substituted metal carbonyls (M = Cr, Mo, W, Ir)
(2012)
Cyclic voltammetry measurements on (η2 -C60)M(CO)5 complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) and on (C5H10N)3(H)3C60 in dichloromethane showed three C60-centered and reversible reduction/oxidation waves. The E1/2 values of these waves are ...
Electrochemistry of Hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata immobilized on a modified gold electrode with cysteine or 3-mercaptopropionic acid: Electrochemical activity for hydrogen sulfide
(2012)
The extraordinary affinity of recombinant hemoglobin I from Lucina pectinata (rHbI) for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) allow to postulate it as substrate for the preparation of the hydrogen sulfide sensors. The modification of a ...
Thermal inkjet technology for the deposition of nanoparticles and Metal-organic framework (Mof): Preparation of sers-active substrates and Mof films for In-situ enhanced raman and infrared detection of harmful contaminants
(2012-12)
The applications of thermal ink-jet printing technology as deposition technique of functional materials such as metal nanoparticles and microporous nickel-oxalate metal organic framework were studied. Highly sensitive ...
Design and development of remote Raman spectroscopy system for detection of hazardous compounds
(2012-11)
Remote Raman detection has become a powerful analytical technique for detection of hazardous compounds in situ and without sample preparation at distances away from the observation site. This study describes the design, ...
Synthesis and characterization of bulk and colloidal magnetic polymer nanocomposites
(2013)
The development of bulk and colloidal latex polymer nanocomposites of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with embedded magnetic nanoparticles particles was investigated. The first approach consisted of the preparation of ...
