Chemical environment control of the metal nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in nanocrystalline metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) is useful in controlling the activity and selectivity of catalytic reactions. In this report, organic linkers with two functional groups, sulfonic acid (-SO3H, S) and ammonium (-NH3(+), N), are chosen as strong and weak acidic functionalities, respectively, and then incorpo...

Structure of diglycerol monolaurate (abbreviated as C(12)G(2)) micelles in nonpolar oils cyclohexane and n-octane as a function of compositions, temperatures, and surfactant chain length has been investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The SAXS data were evaluated by the generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT) method and real-space structural information of particles was...

To eliminate the use of chlorinated hydrocarbons, we have improved the method for the flow-injection (FI) determination of iodine based on the chemiluminescence reaction of iodine with luminol in a chloroform-free reversed micellar medium of the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) using a mixture of 1-hexanol-cyclohexane as a bulk solvent. The FI procedure used simply involves the...

Novel carbasugars derived from cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid were synthesized and tested for inhibitory activity towards fungal glycosidases from Aspergillus oryzae and Penicillium canescens. Significant inhibition was observed, which magnitude depended on configuration of substituents.
