we report the growth by ion exchange synthesis of zns nanoparticles in mcm-41 matrices using zn (ch3coo)2 and na2s starting sources. the final product (zns/mcm-41) was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) pattern, transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), infrared spectrometry (ir) and uv-vis spectroscopy. its crystalline structure and morphology was studie...

Abstract: Glassy samples with xTiO2 .3SiO2 .Na2O composition that (8≤x≤40) (molar) were casted in refractory steel molds after melting at air as parallel palates. After polishing and getting to desire thickness, UV-VIS spectrometry in 200 -1100 nm was measured on samples. Glass density was measured by a sensitive micro balance and was found that by increasing titanium dioxide of glasses, glass ...

A controlled and scalable multistep purification method has been developed to remove iron impurity and nonnanotube carbon materials from raw single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) produced in the HiPco (high-pressure CO) process. In this study, iron nanoparticles, coated by carbon, are exposed and oxidized by multiple step oxidation at increasing temperatures. To avoid catalytic oxidation by ir...

A new member of the quinoxaline group antibiotics has been detected by HPLC-diode-array screening. The main compound produced by Streptomyces tendae strain Tü 4031 showed a high degree of similarity in the UV-visible spectral region with echinomycin and their structural similarity was confirmed by structure elucidation using electron tandem mass spectrometry and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance. T...

Malachite green (MG) was decolorized by laccase (LacA) of white-rot fungus Cerrena sp. with strong decolorizing ability. Decolorization conditions were optimized with response surface methodology. A highly significant quadratic model was developed to investigate MG decolorization with LacA, and the maximum MG decolorization ratio of 91.6% was predicted under the conditions of 2.8 U mL(-1) LacA,...

A new [60]fullerene dumbbell consisting of two fulleropyrrolidines connected to a central ferrocene unit by amide linkages has been prepared and fully characterized by elemental analysis, (1)H NMR, UV/Vis, fluorescence and mass spectrometry. The electrochemical properties as determined by cyclic voltammetry show ground state electronic communication between the ferrocene and the fullerene units...

Chiral tetraaza macrocyclic nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes 2a-e, containing one or two (R,R)-(-)-1,2-cyclohexanediyl bridges, were synthesized by template condensation reactions and characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR, IR, UV-vis, and mass spectrometry. The electrophilic reactivity of 2a was explored. Crystal structures of Ni complex 2b and metal-free ligand 5 were determined by single-...

Dendrons of pyrene derivatives were attached to a porphyrin core. A marked effect in solution for the dendrimers was observed in the absorption spectra. All the compounds obtained were characterized by (1)H-, (13)C-NMR, FTIR, UV-vis, MALDI-TOF or FAB+ mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The cubic nonlinear optical behavior of some the synthesized compounds was tested via Z-Scan measuremen...

The carotenoids produced by extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica were extracted and identified by their chemical, chromatographic, and spectroscopic characteristics (UV-Vis and mass spectrometry). The composition (mol%) was 68.1% bacterioruberin, 22.5% monoanhydrobacterioruberin, 9.3% bisanhydrobacterioruberin, <0.1% isopentenyldehydrorhodopin, and trace amounts of lycopene and phy...

The dye used on the silk textiles in an as yet undated relic shrine in a church in Antwerp was analysed by reflectance UV-Vis spectrometry. The natural dyestuff carthamin from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) was detected; because of its very poor light fastness this does not allow the shrine to be exhibited. Neither does it allow dating of the silk, since safflower has been used over a period ...
