We review the crystal structures, electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI-MS) data and chiral HPLC data for the racemic and optically pure mononuclear AuL2 complexes, and for racemic [AuLI]n and optically pure [AgLII]n polymers (LI = thiomalate, LII = D-penicillamine). We postulate an equilibrium between polymeric, mononuclear and free ligand species for [AuLII]n (gold sodium thiomalate or GS...

Abstract We introduce metal nanovoid (NV) and on nano-hemisphere (MoNH) structures to tune the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) for wider wavelength ranges. The NV were constructed with layers gallium oxide nano hemisphere (NH) structures, MoNH dielectric random silver NH structures. These fabricated via thermal annealing of deposited thin films without top-down nanofabrication techno...

in this work, we report results of calculations based on the density functional theory of different species metal-ozone, containing mercury, silver and gold. the chosen species range from small molecules and large transition-metal containing ozone with mercury, silver and gold complexes. a comparative analysis of the description of the metal-oxygen bond obtained by different methodologies is pr...

There are two mass diffusion processes regarding the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of nanostructures: one is inside the catalyst droplet toward the liquid-solid interface; the other is along the side surface planes of the growing nanostructures. In this letter, microscale, modulated mass diffusion scenarios are exhibited through the synthesis of two types of ZnS nanostructures in an Au-cataly...

this study was conducted to evaluate the long-term effects of in ovo injection of nano-silver, thyme and savory extracts in broiler breeder eggs on growth performance, lymphoid organ weights, immune and blood parameters and bone mineral concentration of broiler chicks. a total of 560 fertilized broiler breeder eggs were divided into 7 groups. on d 5 of incubation, eggs were treated with the fol...

Objective(s): The enzymatic activity of fungi has recently inspired the scientists with re-explore the fungi as potential biofactories rather than the causing agents of humans and plants infections. In very recent years, fungi are considered as worthy, applicable and available candidates for synthesis of smaller gold, silver and other nano-sized particles.  Materials and Methods: A standard str...

objective(s):the present study aimed to investigate the antiseptic properties of a colloidal nano silver wound rinsing solution to inhibit a wide range of pathogens including bacteria, viruses and fungus present in chronic and acute wounds. materials and methods:the wound rinsing solution named silvosept® was prepared using colloidal nano silver suspension. physicochemical properties, effective...
