Nano-SbCl5.SiO2 and SbCl5.SiO2 are bench-top catalysts which are reusable, readily available, versatile andefficient for promotion of many acid catalyzed organic reactions. These catalysts do not need specialprecautions for preparation, handling or storage, and they can be stored at an ambient temperature for monthswithout losing their catalytic activity. 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones(thiones) ...

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy provides extended information about molecular electronic structure and transitions. Because the chirality is induced by static magnetic field it can also be used for non-chiral compounds. However, interpretation of the spectra is difficult, and precise computations using quantum mechanical approaches were implemented in publicly available software ...

Matrix effects (MEs) continue to be an obstacle in the development of the LC-MS/MS method, with phospholipids being the major cause of MEs. Changing the mobile phase has been a common strategy to reduce MEs; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. "In-source multiple-reaction monitoring" (IS-MRM) for glycerophosphocholines (PCs) has been commonly applied in many bioanalytical methods. "Vi...
