1,1,3,3-Tetra(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)propane-based energetic salts were synthesized in a simple and straightforward manner. The structures of these new salts were determined by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, MS, and elemental analysis. All of these compounds showed good thermal stabilities above 180 °C, as confirmed by thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) measur...

Three novel tetrazole-based frustrated magnets, namely, Co3(OH)2(3-ptz)2(SO4)(H2O)4 (1), Co2(OH)(tzba)(H2O)4 (2) and [Co(OH)(tta)] (3) (3-ptz = 5-(3-pyridyl) tetrazole, H2tzba = 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) benzoic acid, Htta = 1H-tetrazole) were hydrothermal synthesized and magnetically characterized. Compound 1 is a 2D (4,4) layered structure assembled by sulfate capped triangular [Co3(μ3-OH)(μ3-SO4)...

Diabetes is an important chronic disease affecting about 10% of the adult population in US and over 420 million people worldwide, resulting 1.6 deaths every year, according to World Health Organization. The most common type disease, 2 diabetes, can be pharmacologically managed using oral hypoglycemic agents or thiazolidinediones (TZDs), such as pioglitazone, which act by activating Peroxisome P...
