We studied the ability of di-cationic gemini surfactantsdi (amphiphiles), i.e. 1,4-butanediammonium-N,N-dialkyl-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl bromides (Di-Cm-di-QAS (s = 4), where m = 8, 11, 13, 16 and s = the number of alkyl groups in the spacer) to induce shape alteration, vesiculation, haemolysis and phosphatidylserine exposure in human erythrocytes, and to protect erythrocytes against hypotonic hae...

A series of new 7-[2-(3-alkyl/aryl-4-arylthiazol-2(3H)-ylidene)hydrazono)propoxy]-4methyl-2H-chromen-2-ones, (6-9a-e), was prepared by the reaction of appropriate N-alkyl/aryl2-[1-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7yloxy)propan-2-ylidene]hydrazine carbothioamides (4a-d) and phenacyl bromides (5a-e). The purity of all new compounds was checked by TLC and elucidation of their structures was confirmed by...

This paper presents the determination of a concentration at the minimum bubble velocity (CMV) for different types of frothers, such as straight and branched alkyl chain aliphatic alcohols, 1,ω-diols, poly(propylene glycol) and poly(ethylene glycol) alkyl ethers, n-alkyltrimethylammonium bromides, commercial frothers and others. The values of terminal rise bubble velocity were reviewed from the ...

Significance: The development of iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions is an extremely promising field of research, taken into account the importance of this method for current organic synthesis and the multiple problems connected with commonly used Pdand Ni-catalyzed processes. The group of Cahiez reported the first iron-catalyzed alkyl–aryl cross-coupling reaction, suitable for industrial l...

Poly(4-vinyl-N-alkylpyridinium bromide) was covalently attached to glass slides to create a surface that kills airborne bacteria on contact. The antibacterial properties were assessed by spraying aqueous suspensions of bacterial cells on the surface, followed by air drying and counting the number of cells remaining viable (i.e., capable of growing colonies). Amino glass slides were acylated wit...
