A new and efficient synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydroimidazole derivatives by means of visible light-induced intramolecular cyclization reactions has been described. This photoredox catalytic reaction exhibited high diastereoselectivity and afforded the desired products in good yields.

a useful nanophotocatalyst (la,s-tio2) was prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (drs), x-ray diffraction (xrd), photoluminescence emission spectroscopy (pl) and scanning electron microscopy (fesem). the results showed that the la,s-tio2, which calcined at 550 °c, contained only anatase phaseand its crystal size was 23 nm. in addition, the fes...

In this work, we focused on improvement of rutile-type TiO2 degradation efficiency by cobalt doping and decorating on carbon nanotubes walls (CNTs) (Co-TiO2/CNTs). We also synthesized pure TiO2, Co-TiO2 and TiO2/CNTs samples for control experiments. The textural and morphology features of the samples were characterized by a range of analyses including: XRD, FESEM/EDX. FTIR, TEM, UV-Vis DRS and ...

An aspherical airborne camera has excellent performance in the field of photoelectric reconnaissance equipment. However, image plane contrast optical system will be reduced by stray light originating from inside or outside system. In present work, self-designed aspheric is manufactured with a baffle and vanes to reduce impact on imaging quality. TracePro software used analyze establish an ABg m...

Near infrared is a subdivision in the infrared spectrum between the range of 800 nanometers and 2,500 nanometers wavelength. There are no exact numbers on these wavelengths. Near Infrared is found on the right outermost of the visible light band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible Light near infrared emits irradiation in the spectrum of the human eye and its electromagnetic spectrum is in ...

In this work, ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method, and platinum particles were loaded on ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD patterns showed that the zinc oxide samples have a wurtzite structure (hexagonal phase...

Background: Due to rapid advances in modern technologies such as telecommunication technology, the world has witnessed an exponential growth in the use of digital handheld devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets). This drastic growth has resulted in increased global concerns about the safety of these devices. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other digital screens emit high levels of short-wav...

Despite the overruling impact of light in the phyllosphere, little is known regarding the influence of light spectra on non-phototrophic bacteria colonizing the leaf surface. We developed an in vitro method to study phenotypic profile responses of bacterial pure cultures to different bands of the visible light spectrum using monochromatic (blue: 460 nm; red: 660 nm) and polychromatic (white: 35...
