A new titanocenyl amide containing flavone as pendant group has been synthesized by reaction of titanocenyl carboxylic acid chloride and 7-Aminoflavone and structurally characterized by spectroscopic methods. This species and eight previously synthesized titanocenyl amide complexes have been tested in breast adenocarcinoma cancer cell line, MCF-7. The functionalization of titanocene dichloride ...

TiCl2/nano-γ-Al2O3 as a new heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst was synthesized and characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, EDS, XRF, BET and TGA. N-substituted pyrroles have been synthesized via Paal–Knorr reaction in the presence of TiCl2/nano-γ-Al2O3 at room temperature under solvent-free conditions.

Implant surfaces should be modified to achieve excellent cell compatibility as well as antibacterial activity. Our previous study demonstrated that titanium plates anodized by being discharged in NaCl (Ti-Cl) exhibited high antibacterial activity. Since Ti-Cl was prepared with a NaCl solution, we hypothesized that Ti-Cl would exhibit low toxicity toward cells. The aims of this study were to cha...

To the Editor: Some patients with keratoconus have poor corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) associated with high refractive errors. According to our treatment protocol,1 the best approach for these cases is intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation (usually one segment) to improve CDVA followed by corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) treatment 4 weeks later to stabilize the cornea and ...

Mesoporous SnO(2) agglomerates with hierarchical structures and a high surface area were fabricated through a molten salt method. The SnO(2) demonstrated high photoelectric conversion efficiencies of 3.05% and 6.23% (with TiCl(4) treatment) in dye-sensitized solar cells, which are attributed to its dual functionality of providing high dye-loading and efficient light scattering.

Abstract To sustain the harsher conditions of high-luminosity LHC [1], CMS Collaboration [2] is designing a novel endcap calorimeter system [3]. The new will predominantly use silicon sensors to achieve sufficient radiation tolerance and maintain highly granular information in readout help mitigate effects pile up. In regions characterized by lower levels, small scintillator tiles with individu...

Abstract In this study, titanium tetrachloride (TiCl 4 ), zirconium (ZrCl and oxychloride (ZrOCl 2 ·8H O) were evaluated using jar test experiments as coagulants compared with traditional aluminum sulfate (Al (SO ) 3 ·18H ferric chloride (FeCl for industrial wastewater treatment. The effects of the initial pH 4–10 coagulant doses 10–100 mg/L on chemical oxygen demand (COD) total suspended solid...

6-(Thien-2-yl) and 6-(fur-2-yl)salicylates are prepared by TiCl(4)-mediated [3 + 3] cyclocondensations of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-(thien-2-yl)- and 3-(fur-2-yl)-3-silyloxy-2-en-1-ones, respectively. The regioselectivity of the cyclization depends on the substitution pattern of the 3-silyloxy-2-en-1-one.

Morphology-controlled bilayer TiO(2) nanostructures consisting of one-dimensional (1D) nanowire bottom arrays and a three-dimensional (3D) dendritic microsphere top layer were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. These novel 1D-3D bilayer photoanodes demonstrated the highest energy conversion efficiency of 7.2% for rutile TiO(2) dye-sensitized solar cells to date, with TiCl(4) post-t...
