The 3d-element transition metal dioxide MO(2), peroxide M(O(2)), and superoxide MOO clusters (M=Sc-Zn), are studied by density functional theory with the B1LYP functional. The reliability of the methods and basis sets employed was tested by a reinvestigation of the monoxides, for which a database of experimental data is available. The global minima on the M+O(2) potential energy surfaces corres...

Abstract Critically assessed data regarding Sn(IV) dioxides and hydroxy complexes have recently been challenged. Differences as large nine orders of magnitude occur in certain the published solubility products other equilibrium constants, despite supposedly being derived from same ‘reliable’ measurements. We show how these differing conclusions depend on assignments uncertainty respective exper...

Abstract As an alternative to antibiotics, nanoparticles are increasingly being employed target bacteria. Nanotechnology has the potential revolutionize treatment of bacterial infections. Biosynthesis is becoming popular as a cutting-edge method for producing functionally diverse Nanoparticles with enormous therapeutic potential. Various biological resources have already proven their ability ma...
