Hollow core, mesoporous shell carbon nanospheres (HCMSs) with large bimodal mesopores (6.4 and 3.1 nm) and high surface area (1704 m(2) g(-1)) have been synthesized by a triconstituent surface co-assembly of monodisperse...
Stable immobilization of two redox proteins, cytochrome c and azurin, in a thin film of highly mesoporous antimony-doped tin oxide is demonstrated via UV-vis spectroscopic and electrochemical investigation.
We report a new reducing agent system: hydriodic acid with trifluoroacetic acid, which can chemically convert graphene oxide into reduced graphene oxide at temperatures below 0 degrees C in solution. This is the first ac...
The weak fluorescence of lanthanide/nucleotide coordination polymers was greatly enhanced by Ag(+) in aqueous solution, which has been used for highly sensitive sensing of Ag(+).
Eu(2+) singly and Eu(2+), Mn(2+) co-doped Sr(2)Mg(3)P(4)O(15) exhibit not only the well known blue emission band of Eu(2+) peaking at 448 nm but also a new band at 399 nm in violet. They are attributed to Eu(2+) on diffe...
A facile method for preparing highly monodisperse, sub-micrometre conjugated polymer particles is reported. The particles are prepared through emulsification of a conjugated polymer solution on a microfluidic chip follow...
The first single crystal-based description of a spin transition compound from the patented[Fe(Rtrz)(3)]X(2)center dot nH(2)O family is reported, properly the compound with Rtrz = 4-amino-1,2, 4-triazole, X = NO(3) and n ...
Graphene oxide (GO) was found to effectively enhance the selectivity of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) biosensors, and a new method based on GO and AIE molecules was proposed to detect bovine serum albumin (BSA) with...
Two DNA conjugates modified with ferrocene and beta-cyclodextrin were prepared as a pair of probes that work cooperatively for DNA sensing, in which the electrochemical signal of ferrocene on one probe was significantly ...
We report the design and characterization of a metal ion-imidazole self-assembled monolayer on a gold electrode. The resultant monolayer is well-suited for direct immobilization of histidine and methylene blue-modified p...
Halonium-initiated cascade reaction of 1-alkenoylcyclopropane carboxamides was developed, which leads to the production of dihydrofuropyridinones and 3(2H)-furanones, respectively, depending on the property of substituen...
The structure of the pentasaccharide S259-1 in the Consortium for Functional Glycomics was investigated using a variety of techniques. Surprisingly, the structure differs from the structure assumed from the previously es...
A novel donor-pi-spacer-acceptor type organic dye (AK01) bearing a phenylenevinylene-conjugated system and a derivative of indoline donor was synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells. AK01 showed panchromatic TiO(2) se...
