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...

The synthesis and characterization of title complexes of the ligand Quinolino[3,2-b]benzodiazepine (QBD) and Quinolino[3,2-b]benzoxazepine (QBO) are reported. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic studies, IR, H1 NMR, and UV-visible studies. They have the stoichiometry [ML2C12], where M=Co(II)/Ni(II), L=QBD/QBO, and [MLC12], where M=Zn(II)/Cd(I...

There are specifi c benefi ts to using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with diode array detector technology compared to those offered when using traditional scanning UV-Vis instruments. Within the molecular spectroscopy group, Agilent is able to offer both types of UV-Vis instruments. The Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis, based on Xenon fl ash lamp technology, is the ideal scanning instrument for many routine...

A simple method is introduced for analyzing error score distributions from the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue test. The method involves fitting a sine wave directly to the error distribution, and produces estimates of three parameters that characterize the severity of the defect, the degree of bipolarity, and the orientation of the axis of bipolarity, if one is present. The method produces good est...

We have successfully introduced green phosphors LaPO4:Ce, Tb (G4) or (Mg, Zn)Al11O19:Eu (G2) into TiO2 photoelectrode of dye-sensitized solar cells. The conversion efficiency of the G4-doped device was enhanced by 30% compared with the pristine TiO2 photoelectrode. The green phosphor doped at 5-wt.% ratio contributed to the reduction of resistances of the surface and interface of the photoelect...

reactions of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ros) with biological molecules in vivo play an important physiological role in many diseases. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) is a stable free radical and often used as a routine reagent to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant. this study was undertaken to investigate the free radical-scavenging and antioxidant activiti...

Absorption spectra of several free base triarylcorroles were investigated by MCD spectroscopy. The MCD spectra exhibit unusual sign-reverse (positive-to-negative intensities in ascending energy) features in the Soret- and Q-type band regions, suggesting a rare ΔHOMO < ΔLUMO relationship between π and π* MOs in the corrole core.
