OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of Eusol-C as a corneal storage medium on the survival of donor endothelium. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven corneas not suitable for transplant were included in this study. All donor corneas were stored in Eusol-C at 4°C. Daily donor corneal endothelial cell counting was performed with an eye bank specular microscope. All corneas were discarded after th...

Density functional theory calculations were used to systematically explore the effects of axial ligation by solvent molecules on reactivity and selectivity dirhodium tetracarboxylates with diazo compounds in context C–H insertion into propane. Insertions three types compounds?acceptor/acceptor, donor/acceptor, donor/donor?promoted tetraformate tested without for no surrounding solvent, dichloro...

Two organic compounds (SC-23=(E)-2-Cyano-3-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl) acrylic acid and SC-25=(E)-2-Cyano-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl) acrylic acid) involving methoxy groups as the electron donor and cyanoacrylic acid group as the electron acceptor have been investigated for dye sensitized solar cells. They shows a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 2.08 and 1.81 mA cm-2, an open circuit voltage (Voc)...

We have characterized the size, intensity, density, and distribution of charge-transfer (CT) excitons as a function acceptor–donor architecture prototypical organic interfaces. This characterization was done by computational analysis 17 models varying numbers, positions, orientations donor acceptor molecules. The models’ building blocks were phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) fullerene...

in this study, the adsorption of 4-hydroxy phenyl-azobenzene on the surface of (4, 0) zigzag open-end boron nitride nanotube (bnnt) has been investigated by quantum calculations. in order to find the preferred adsorption site, different positions and orientations were considered. the impacts of donor-acceptor electron delocalization on the structural and electronic properties and reactivity of ...

In this study interaction of phenothiazine sulfur dye with (5, 5) armchair open-end boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in interaction (with a length of 7 Å) was investigated. The impacts of the estereoelectronic effect associated with donor-acceptor electron delocalizations, dipole-dipole interactions and total steric exchange energies on the structural and electronic properties and reactivity of ...

In this study the chemical properties of B6C4Si and C16 Clusters connected vitamin C have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). NMR parameters and HOMO- LUMO Gap energy are calculated by using density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-311G* basis set. Calculations show that HOMO- LUMO Gap energy of vitamin C decreases after connecting to B6C4Si or C16 cluster decreasing of HOM...

The trapping of the elusive vinylogous position a vinyl carbene with an aliphatic Csp3-H bond has been achieved for first time during silver-catalyzed carbene/alkyne metathesis (CAM) process. A Tpx-containing silver complex promotes generation donor-acceptor which triggers CAM, generating subsequent donor-donor species, then undergoes selective C(sp3)-H insertion, leading to synthesis new famil...
