Fullerene hexakis-adducts bearing 12 peripheral carbohydrate moieties have been prepared by grafting sugar derivatives onto the fullerene core through the copper mediated Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and alkynes.

Abstract Background Maternal nutrition during gestation affects fetal development, which has long-term programming effects on offspring postnatal growth performance. With a critical role in protein and lipid metabolism, essential fatty acids can influence the development of muscle adipose tissue. The experiment investigated late supplements (77 d prepartum), either rich saturated monounsaturate...

Abstract The study objective was to evaluate the effect of two fat sources and graded levels vitamin E (VE) supplementation on tissue fatty acid profile, VE concentrations, immune capacity antioxidant plasma tissues pigs at heavy slaughter weight (150 kg). A total 48 individually-fed (24 barrows, 24 gilts; 28.44 ±2.69 kg) were randomly assigned 8 dietary treatments in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangem...

Fullerene-60 nanoparticles were used for studying their influence upon the LDPE biodegradation efficiency of two potential polymer-degrading consortia comprising of three bacterial strains each. At a concentration of 0.01% (w/v) in minimal broth lacking dextrose, fullerene did not have any negative influence upon the consortial growth. However, fullerene was found to be detrimental for bacteria...

The electron donor-acceptor complexes, which undergo intramolecular charge transfer under external stimulus, are an emerging class of materials showing important application in nonlinear optics. Synthesizing ferrocene/fullerene complexes through face-to-face fusion would enjoy the merits of both ferrocene and fullerene due to their strong donor-acceptor interactions. Four ferrocene/fullerene hy...

in this study fullerene functionalized using oleum (h2so4·so3), followed by the hydrolysis of the intermediate cyclosulfated fullerene as well as  an oxidizing agent was employed to functionalize the fullerenes. ruthenium was then added by the impregnation method or deposited on the functionalized fullerene. subsequent to this step, response surface methodology (rsm) was used to study the cumul...

Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) are far more emissive than their fullerene-based counterparts. Here, we study the spectral properties of photocurrent generation and recombination blend the...

Fullerene derivatives bearing a carboxylic acid function undergo self-assembly with n-butylstannonic acid (nBuSn(O)OH) to produce fullerene-rich nanostructures with a stannoxane core in almost quantitative yields.

The novel multicomponent reaction of [60]fullerene with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and isoquinoline, quinoline or substituted quinolines was investigated. This type of reaction presents the first example of a 1,4-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in fullerene chemistry.
