The surface structural characteristics and electronic behavior of three platinum nanoparticle (NP) samples prepared with tertiary amine (Pt-TA), primary amine (Pt-PA), and thiol (Pt-SR) molecules were studied using Pt 4f, 5d, and S 2p x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Pt L(3)-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and theoretical projected local density of states (l-DOS) calculations. ...

The interaction between [Pt(phen)(pyrr-dtc)]NO3 (where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and pyrr-dtc =pyrrolidinedithiocarbamat) with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by fluorescence, UV–vis absorption, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and molecular docking technique under like physiological condition in Tris–HCl buffer solution at pH 7.4. UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy indicates that the pro...

Steam reforming of methanol can be considered as an attractive reaction aiming at hydrogen production for PEM fuel cells. Although Cu/Al-contained catalysts are considerably evaluated in this reaction, further evaluation is essential to evaluate the impact of some promoters like Pt in order to find a comprehensively optimized catalyst. Pt promoter is employed with different methods in this ...

In this study, a simple strategy was described for the synthesis of Pt-SWCNTs conductive nanocomposite by microwave heated polyol method and nanocomposite characterized by EDS, FESEM, and XRD method. The Pt nanoparticles were decorated at the surface of SWCNTs with a diameter of 22.3 nm. The synthesized nanocomposite was used for modification of the carbon paste electrode (CPE) in the presence ...

A d(8)-d(8) complex [Pt2(μ-P2O5(BF2)4](4-) (abbreviated Pt(pop-BF2)(4-)) undergoes two 1e(-) reductions at E1/2 = -1.68 and Ep = -2.46 V (vs Fc(+)/Fc) producing reduced Pt(pop-BF2)(5-) and superreduced Pt(pop-BF2)(6-) species, respectively. The EPR spectrum of Pt(pop-BF2)(5-) and UV-vis spectra of both the reduced and the superreduced complexes, together with TD-DFT calculations, reveal success...

The clinical applications of platinum-based antitumor agents are still largely limited by severe side effects as well as multidrug resistance (MDR). To solve these problems, we developed an 1,2-diaminocyclohexane-platinum(II) (DACHPt)-loaded nanoparticle (NP-TPGS-Pt) by self-assembly of poly(amidoamine)-polyglutamic acid-b-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (PAM-PGlu-b-TPGS) and ...

It is important to undertake research at the location of PT. Perta Samtan Gas Field Extraction Plant Prabumulih with Podzolik soil type (yellow gravel clay) and analysis in order prevent work accidents risk fire caused by leakage current gas processing extraction installation. Direct measurement resistance value used as basis for methodology, which followed literature study background informati...

BACKGROUND We examined whether dedifferentiation is necessary for cell division of proximal tubule (PT) cells after acute PT injury. METHODS Rats were injected with a low (0.2 mg/kg) or high (4 mg/kg) dose of uranyl acetate (UA) to induce acute PT injury. Proliferating PT cells were labelled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) before sacrifice. Renal tissues were examined by double labelling of Brd...
