alpha,alpha,alpha-Trifluoroacetophenone (2), which is susceptible to noncatalytic reduction by BH3, could be reduced to chiral alcohol up to 90% ee by using electronically tuned-CBS catalyst (1) with BH3. The enantiosele...
Presence of inhomogeneous layered structures of ionic liquid (IL) molecules at IL/HOPG and IL/mica interfaces was directly detected and imaged by using frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy. High stability of the ...
Pendant oligoethyleneglycol groups confer water solubility to a cavitand over a wide pH range. The kinetic stability of the host-guest complexes reveals an effective stabilization through hydrogen bonding even in the hig...
Coating a layer of PEG functionalized porous silica shell onto doxorubicin-conjugated Fe3O4 nanoparticles, we demonstrated, provides a number of combined advantages in view of the magnetic carrier's therapeutic functiona...
This communication demonstrates a facile method to detect SCN- by the naked eye through color change based on responsive organic-inorganic hybrid photonic hydrogels.
A colorimetric strategy based on conjugated polyelectrolyte aggregates has been applied to determine and distinguish anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants.
We propose a new self-assembly based strategy for the design of novel lanthanide based luminescent materials. In this approach a europium hydrogel is prepared and sensitization is achieved by doping the gel with pyrene i...
During two-dimensional chiral conglomerate formation of tartaric acid on the copper(110) surface, the growth of one enantiomorph is suppressed by the opposite chirality of a coadsorbed malic acid enantiomer, forming a qu...
The reaction of benzoic acid with the uranyl(V) complex [(UO2Py5)(KI2Py2)] in pyridine leads to immediate disproportionation with formation of a hexanuclear U(IV) benzoate cluster, a bis-benzoate complex of uranyl(VI) an...
At the liquid/graphite interface triangular and rhombic phenylene-ethynylene macrocycles substituted by alkyl chains self-assemble to form porous two-dimensional (2D) molecular networks of honeycomb and Kagome types, res...
A G-quadruplex-based luminescent platinum(II) switch-on probe has been developed for the selective detection of nanomolar Ag+ ions in aqueous solution.
An 8-(phenyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine derivative self-assembles in aqueous media into discrete hexadecamers that further self-assemble above 32 degrees C into microglobules that encapsulate the drug doxorubicin.
A new 2D coordination polymer with an azide-bridged 1D homospin chain is synthesized, which shows slow magnetic relaxation and step hysteresis loop, and is ascribed to be a typical Ising-type single-chain magnet.
The enantiomers of complex 1 (1a and 1b) have been obtained by spontaneous resolution upon crystallization in the absence of a chiral source. The enantiomeric nature of 1a and 1b was confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) ...
The anionic Group 13 NHC analogues [(CHNDipp)(2)E](-) (E = B or Ga) display contrasting reactivity towards the half-sandwich titanium imido complex Cp*TiCl(NtBu)py; while the gallium system undergoes salt metathesis yiel...
