Physico-chemical properties, such as the boiling point, molar refraction, critical pressure, viscosity, chromatographic retention, etc. are rather simple experimental available properties of chemical compounds. They are tabulated and may be used e.g., in projecting industrial instalations. Sometimes, it happends that a given compound is toxic, or dangereus or simply not available. In such condi...

We report the first observation of exciplex state electroluminescence due to carrier injection between the hybrid lead halide perovskite (MAPbI3-xClx) and quantum dots (core/shell PbS/CdS). Single layers of perovskite (PS) and quantum dots (QDs) have been produced by solution processing methods, and their photoluminescent properties are compared to those of bilayer samples in both PS/QD and QD/...

Bis-functionalized ferrocenyl units have been attached to organo-functionalized [(R(F)Sn)4S6] double-decker clusters as criss-cross-type intramolecular straps. Two different ways of linking result in different crystal structures and different electrochemical stabilities of the resulting compounds.

Copper based nanoparticles have an immense potential in the future of anticancer therapy. Various copper inorganic nanoparticles and organic framework complexes have been extensively studied since the last decade for their effect on cancer cell growth inhibition and tumor regression. In this review we have summarised the anticancer activity of few such nanoparticles of copper and organo-copper ...

The swelling and exfoliation behavior of protonated layered oxides using an organo-phosphonium base, tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide (TBPOH), was examined for the first time. The action of the aqueous solution induced massive interlayer expansion up to ~100-fold. The swollen crystals were immediately broken and completely exfoliated into unilamellar nanosheets in 1-2 h by shaking.
