N,N-didodecylammonium N,N-didodecyldithiocarbamate (AmDTC-C12C12) underwent self-assembly to form a CatAnionic vesicular nanoreactor in water. AmDTC-C12C12 can be readily prepared by condensation between N,N-didodecylamine and carbon disulfide. Previously, the cascade Michael addition/hemiketalization/retro-Claisen fragmentation was reported, but it...

In this work, we unveil a novel synthesis of bench stable Ni (II) complexes supported by tetradentate Schiff-base ligands and the complexes were devoid of any phosphine or phosphine-based ligand. These Ni-complexes were successfully applied for the dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols for ketone and ketazine syntheses. Secondary alcohols with different...

In this work, zinc oxide with different morphologies and textural properties were prepared and sensitized with metalloporphyrins (MPs) aiming to improve its solar energy harvesting capability for H2 production by water splitting under sunlight (a 300 W Xe/Hg lamp). An anionic iron(III)porphyrin and a cationic manganese(III)porphyrin were immobilized...

Solvent polarity of binary mixture directs the self-assembly patterns of core-substituted naphthalimide conjugated short-peptide residue. Dilution of the stock solution with a more polar bad solvent leads to a J-type aggregation, whereas, dilution by a less polar bad solvent helps the system to adopt an H-type aggregation pattern. The bright green...

A series of donor-acceptor substituted diphenylpolyenes with solvatochromic emission and large Stokes shifts is synthesized for organelle labeling. The morpholine pendant aids in lysosomal targeting, while hydrophobicity guides the staining of lipid droplets. Real-time monitoring of lysosomal dynamics, mitophagy, stress responses, and uptake in zebrafish...

Co/CeO2 catalysts doped with varying amounts of Pr were synthesized to explore the impact of oxygen vacancies on water gas shift catalysis, focusing on oxygen vacancy defects for CO conversion. Abstract In this study, we utilized various Pr-doped CeO2 catalysts (Pr=5, 10, 20, and 30 wt.%) as a support medium for the dispersion of cobalt (Co)...
