A simple and novel supramolecular approach for orthogonal self-assembly of donor and acceptor chromophores has been demonstrated. Suitably designed 1,5-dialkoxynaphthalene (DAN) and naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid diimi...
A novel bimodal fluorescence/MRI probe based on a cyclodextrin scaffold has been synthesized and characterized. The final agent employs the fluorescein (F) functionality as a fluorescence marker and the Gd-III complex of...
The synthesis of a luminescent quantum cluster (QC) of gold with a quantum yield of similar to 4% is reported. It was synthesized in gram quantities by the core etching of mercaptosuccinic acid protected gold nanoparticl...
Poly[aniline(AN)-co-5-sulfo2-anisidine(SA)] nanograins with rough and porous structure demonstrate ultrastrong adsorption and highly efficient recovery of silver ions. The effects of five key factors-AN/SA ratio, Ag-I co...
An easily available and efficient chiral N,N'-dioxide-nickel(II) complex catalyst has been developed for the direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of alpha-isothiocyanato imide with aldehydes which produces the prod...
Highly enantioselective Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and nitromethane to 4-oxo-4-arylbutenoates catalyzed by N,N'-dioxide-Sc(OTf)(3) complexes has been developed. Using 0.5-2 mol% catalyst loading, variou...
