Blue emission fluorescent Au(5) clusters with maximum quantum yield of 20.1% were synthesized by a simple photoreduction method using three specially designed tridentate polymer ligands. The evolution of fluorescent Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) under UV irradiation was studied by fluorescence, UV-Vis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic techniques, suggesting that the fluorescence of Au NCs is siz...

In this research we are synthesized CuO nanoparticles (NPs) using water extract of. Also the total phenolic content of Sambucusnigra L. leaves water extract was measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. For confirmation the structure of synthesized bio-CuO-NPs we are employed X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, Scanning...

The manuscript describes a method to obtain spectral aerosol optical thicknesses from measurements with a spectroradiometer in the UV-visible range. The direct solar light is inferred from the difference between total radiation and diffuse radiation. The latter is obtained by the use of a sun blocking disc. An error budget is presented. The results are validated against the measurements with a ...

In the present work, we attempted to develop new metal coordination complexes of the natural flavonoid 5-hydroxyflavone with Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III). The resultant hydroxo complexes have been characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques, including fluorescence, FT-IR, UV-Vis, EPR and mass spectral studies. The general chemical formula of the complexes is [Ln(C15H₉O₃)₃(OH)₂(...

AIM To determine the prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in the population of the town of Komiza on the island of Vis, which has previously been reported as a place with several cases of favism. METHODS We screened 302 randomly selected men, using the fluorescent spot test. Fluorescence readings were performed at the beginning and 5, 10, and 20 minutes after incu...

UV-visible absorption and AFM studies suggest that carboxyphenylethynyl zinc porphyrins aggregate on nanocrystalline TiO2 surfaces in an H-type fashion.

A Matlab implemented computer code for spectral resolution is presented. The code enables the user to resolve the UV-visible absorption spectrum of a mixture of up to 3 previously known components, to the individual components, thus, evaluating their quantities. The resolving procedure is based on searching the combination of the components which yields the spectrum which is the most similar (m...

New pyridine based ruthenium complexes with different substituents were synthesized and characterized by Uv-Visible, fluorescence, FTIR NMR spectroscopies. The solvent effects of the compounds on photoluminescence properties have been investigated. exhibit solvatochromic effect in solvents. electrochemical studies performed cyclic voltammetry. HOMO LUMO energy levels are range (-5.51)-(-5.52) e...
