Cadmium oxide rhombus-shaped nanostructure was synthesized using hydrothermal process followed by heating treatment. Clearly, X-ray diffraction pattern demonstrated the formation of CdO crystalline phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the obtained rhombus-like structure is composed of nanoparticles with the average size of 29 nm. In addition, we evaluated adsorption of org...

The effects of sublethal amounts of the cationic dye, neutral red, upon the structure of pancreatic exocrine cells, and upon the mitochondria of renal distal tubule cells, have been studied with the electron microscope. It was found that neutral red is a cytoplasmic toxin which causes reproducible and characteristic changes in the ergastoplasm, the zymogen granules, the mitochondria, and possib...

We report observations from time-lapse films of the development of Dictyostelium discoideum (Dd) stained with the vital dye neutral red. We have used this dye to enable us to track individual cells, as they move through multicellular tissues in later Dd stages. Our observations lead us to new conclusions about the control of cell movement and cell contact during Dd development, including the te...

The vacuolar surface of Nitella is covered with a non-aqueous film too thin to be visible as a separate membrane. The motion of the protoplasm may subject this film to a good deal of mechanical disturbance. Apparently this does not rupture the film for no dye escapes into the protoplasm as the result of such disturbance when the vacuolar sap is deeply stained with neutral red or brilliant cresy...

Congo red is a synthetic azo-dye dye with many industrial applications. The effluents containing azo dyes are causing several environmental hazards and thus should be treated prior to their discharge. The present work investigates the possible use of a novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for the decolorization of Congo red dye. The effect of different parameters including contact time...

Heteroleptic neutral copper(I) dipyrrin complexes have been synthesised with the general formula [Cu(4,4'-(R)-6,6'-(CH3)-bipyridine)(dipyrrin)], R = CH3 or CO2Et, and H-dipyrrin is either 1,3,7,9-tetramethyldipyrromethene (HL1), 1,13-diphenyl-6,8-diisoindolemethene (HL2), or 1,13-diphenyl-3,11-di(trifluoromethyl)-6,8-diisoindolemethene (HL3). Improved stability was observed across the series , ...

The molecular association through host-guest interaction of chromophoric dyes having technological and biological importance have been investigated with a macrocyclic receptor, cucurbit[7]uril (CB7). Exploiting host-guest (CB7rhodamine 6G) interaction, the construction of a highly efficient “water-based supramolecular dye laser” has been demonstrated. The CB7 imposed modulation of the protonati...
