The structural, electronic, dielectric and vibrational features of two metal-organic frameworks with bispyrazolate ligands are investigated by combining ab initio periodic calculations and experimental techniques. UV-Vis...
Solvothermal reactions of 2-amino-1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (NH(2)bdcH(2)) and N-auxiliary ligands in the presence of manganese(II), zinc(II) and cobalt(II) salts have given rise to four new metal-organic frameworks,...
A new pH responsive smart carrier of C-60 was prepared with 6-amino-gamma-cyclodextrin (ACD) for photodynamic therapy. C-60 was rapidly released from its inclusion complex with ACD at pH 6.7, due to electrostatic repulsi...
This work presents a strategy for fine control of the localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) frequency of nano-antennas by constructing dimeric nanoheterostructures, in which the first phase serves as a plasmonic r...
A series of (ZnS)(x)(CuInS2)(1-x) hierarchical micro/nano-structured solid solutions with precisely controlled chemical composition were synthesized via a facile one-pot solvothermal method. ZnO, Cu2O, and In(OH)(3) are ...
Water-soluble graphene sheet was prepared via chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) in the presence of polyacetylene bearing a quaternary ammonium pendant (Pac), with a relatively low feed ratio of 1/3 (Pac/GO, w/w)....
A novel graphene oxide multilayer with ordered structure was formed by self-assembly of alkyl functionalized graphene oxide on a metal substrate and showed specific electrochemical properties for the determination of cop...
Up to now, the strategy to fabricate biomimetic dental enamel-like hydroxyapatite (HA) has attracted great interest due to the extremely high degree of architectural organization of HA crystals. In this study, in the abs...
Porous hollow microspheres of hydroxyapatite (HAP) are an ideal biomaterial due to their excellent biocompatibility and hollow structure. Herein, we report a novel DNA-templated hydrothermal strategy for the synthesis of...
La2CaB10O19 powders doped with Eu3+ ions were synthesized using a citric route for the first time. The La2CaB10O19 powders doped with Eu3+ ions were synthesized using citric route for the first time. The crystal structur...
In this work, a novel linear polytriphenylamine derivative was successfully synthesized by the introduction of ferrocene as a terminating group to the triphenylamine moieties. The morphology, structure and charge-dischar...
Reducing anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission has become an urgent environmental and climate issue of our age. Here, a series of covalent-organic polymers (COPs) are synthesized, and the adsorption properties of these C...
Novel chitosan films dendronized on one side were prepared by reaction between a cross-linked biopolymer and weisocyanate dendron. According to ATR-FTIR analysis, it can be concluded that the dendronization took place on...
Here we demonstrate a facile approach to the fabrication of transferrable and high-quality latex colloidal masks with tunable interstice size for nanosphere lithography (NSL). A polystyrene (PS) monolayer colloidal cryst...
The application of the sol-gel technology to develop host materials for cell-based biotechnological devices has been continuously explored over the last 20 years. The most recent progress allowed the diversification of t...
The surface skin of a banded blue-sprat had the mesocrystal structures of biogenic guanine crystals and cytoplasm. The platy guanine crystals were organized in the parallel direction to the surface skin with incorporatio...
