The solid catalyst with high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of epoxides was prepared by confining Co(Salen) in the nanocage of SBA-16 through reducing the pore entrance size using a silylation method. It was found that the activity of the solid catalysts increased with the number of [Co(Salen)] molecules per nanocage increasing, and the soli...

A simple approach by reversible imine condensation to shape-persistent endo-functionalised nanocage compounds is presented.

Second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging using near infrared laser light is the key to improving penetration depths, leading to biological understanding. Unfortunately, currently SHG imaging techniques have limited capability due to the poor signal-to-noise ratio, resulting from the low SHG efficiency of available dyes. Targeted tumor imaging over nontargeted tissues is also a challenge that ne...

By coupling laser capture microdissection to nanoCAGE technology and next-generation sequencing we have identified the genome-wide collection of active promoters in the mouse Main Olfactory Epithelium (MOE). Transcription start sites (TSSs) for the large majority of Olfactory Receptors (ORs) have been previously mapped increasing our understanding of their promoter architecture. Here we show th...

to investigate non-bonded interaction of phenanthrene and bn nanostructure, geometric structure of phenanthrene and b12n12 nano-ring with b3lyp method and 6-31g* basis set are optimized by using ab initio gaussian quantum chemical package. the main purpose of this study was to evaluate changes of electronic properties of aromatic compound in presences nano ring field. therefore reactivity and s...

Adsorption of cyanogen molecule on the surface of pristine and Sc-doped B12N12 nanocage is scrutinized using at DFT calculations to investigating its potential as chemical nanosensors. The results show that cyanogen is weakly adsorbed on the pristine B12N12 and consequently its electrical properties are changed insignificantly. In order to improve the...

In this research, IR and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) computations were employed for investigating the performance of B12N12 as a novel recognition element for fabrication of quetiapine thermal and electrochemical sensors. All of the computations were done by density functional theory method in the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory and in the aqueous ph...

to determine the non-bonded interaction energies between naphthalene and b12n12 nano ring in different orientations and distances, geometry of molecules with b3lyp method and 6-31g* basis set optimized. also reactivity and stability of naphthalene alone and in the presence b12n12 nano ring checked. then calculated the nbo, nmr, freq, nics and muliken charge of naphthalene atoms alone and in the...

A truncated octahedral nanocage containing amide and quinoline groups has been synthesized as an artificial chemosensor for selectively fluorescent detection of uridine over other RNA-based nucleosides.

DFT calculations were used to investigate adsorptionof  F-, Cl-, Li+ and Na+ ions on the exterior surface of Mg12O12 nanocage in the gas phase and water media. The most favorite position for adsorption of the studied anions and cations are atop of Mg and O atoms of Mg12O12, respectively. The strongest intera...
