Molecularly imprinted nanotubes for enantioselective drug delivery and controlled release are fabricated by the combination of template synthesis and ATRP grafting. The release of R-propranolol from the imprinted nanotub...
Coinage metal complexes of an N,N'-disubstituted cyclic thiourea exert significant cytotoxicities to cancer cells and, in particular, the gold(I) thiourea complex exhibits a potent tight-binding inhibition of the antican...
Synthetic derivatives of the phosphonate antibiotic dehydrophos were tested for antimicrobial activity. Both the phosphonate monomethyl ester and the vinyl phosphonate moiety proved to be important for bacteriocidal acti...
The in situ generated mu-oxo-bridged reactive hypervalent iodine(III) species 1 or their analogues are introduced as more efficient organocatalysts for the catalytic strategy for realizing practical and greener oxidation...
Amino, bromo, nitro, and naphthalene functionalized UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks have been synthesized through reticular chemistry. UiO-66-NH2 is shown to be suitable for postsynthetic modification with a variety of a...
We have combined the biocatalytic desymmetrization of 3,4-cis-substituted meso-pyrrolidines with an Ugi-type multicomponent reaction followed in situ by a Pictet-Spengler-type cyclization reaction sequence for the rapid ...
With the aptamer-induced self-assembly feature of NIR-emissive platinum(II) terpyridyl complex, a "proof-of-principle'' concept in label-and immobilization-free probing strategies of lysozyme and thrombin has been demons...
A new class of mesoporous materials constituted by gallia nanoparticles was synthesised and tested as epoxidation catalysts. The results prove that these materials can bridge the gap between Ga2O3 nanoparticles and MCM-4...
Pressing solid barbituric acid with KBr to prepare samples for IR spectroscopy leads to the formation of an ionic co-crystal, in which the co-former is a classical ionic salt; co-crystal formation is also obtained with t...
Hexagonal mesocrystals formed by tungsten oxide nanowires have been synthesized using a solvothermal method without any template. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis of the regular hexagonal mesocrysta...
Free-standing CeO2 nanorods with different morphology grew directly on Ti substrates via an electrochemical assembly process, and their absorption edges show a remarkable red-shift to the visible region. Moreover, photoe...
The ordered [Pt(CN-tBu)(2)(CN)(2)] semiconducting microwires have been prepared on substrates based on solvent evaporation or dip-and-pull approaches and were found to display photo- and vapor-responsive conducting chara...
Microporous polyimide networks with BET surface areas up to 1407 m(2) g(-1) and pore size distribution of 4-8 angstrom were synthesized. The respective effect of surface area and affinity between hydrogen molecule and po...
The presence of alkylammonium groups covalently grafted on bisphosphonato ligands induces photochromic properties to ligand-coordinated polyoxomolybdate systems. Such intrinsically photoactive polyanions can be used for ...
