Using operando and transient spectroscopies (IR, Raman, UV-Vis), low-loaded Cu/CeO 2 (111) catalysts were investigated with respect to their redox behavior the importance of adsorbates for reverse water–gas shift (rWGS) reaction.

The organization of polyiodide chains in the amylose-iodine complex was investigated by Raman spectroscopy, by UV/vis, and by second-derivative UV/vis spectroscopies complemented by semiempirical calculations based on a simple structural model. The Raman spectra indicate that the primary substructures of the polyiodide chains are I–3; and I; sub-units. The second derivatives of the UV/vis spect...

The synthesis, characterization and quantum-chemical investigations of two new Co(II) complexesderived from fluorescent benzimidazoles have been reported. Two new fluorescentheterocyclic ligands were synthesized from the reduction of imidazo[4',5':3,4]benzo[1,2-c]isoxazole derivatives, and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, mass, and NMR spectra. Coordination of the bidentate ligands ...

Maillard reaction (MR) was carried out in L-lysine-D-glucose (Lys-Glu) model system heated at 120°C for 0 to 10 h without pH control. Optical property (UV-Vis absorbance and fluorescence) development of MR was monitored. Antioxidant activity of maillard reaction products (MRPs) was investigated by a series of in vitro tests. The UV-Vis absorbance zero and first-order derivative spectrophotometr...

L-Arginine (Arg or R) is a non-toxigenic, metabolically versatile and conditionally essential amino acid. Single-pot synthesis of Arg modified magnetic nanoparticles (RMNPs) was achieved using magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and binary function of Arg as a functional group and an alkali precipitator. This modification is supposed to offer several advantages to the MNPs from a bio-application vie...

The dilution of aqueous neptunium carbonate complexes induces the intrinsic formation of nanocrystalline neptunium dioxide (NpO2) particles, which are characterised by UV/Vis and X-ray absorption spectroscopies and transmission electron microscopy. This new route of nanocrystalline NpO2 formation could be a potential scenario for the environmental transport of radionuclides from the waste repos...

The self-assembly of umbrella-shaped mesogens is explored with subphthalocyanine cores and oligo(thienyl) arms different lengths in the light their application as light-harvesting photoconducting materials. While shortest arm derivatives self-assemble a conventional columnar phase single mesogen repeating unit, more extended generate dimers that pile up into liquid crystalline columns. In contr...

A bidentate chiral dithiol (diBINAS) is utilised to bridge Au25 nanoclusters form oligomers. Separation by size allows the isolation of fractions that are stable thanks nature linker. The structure products elucidated small-angle X-ray scattering and calculated using density functional theory. Additional structural details studied diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, trans...

A new proline-based aminophenol ligand was synthesized by a convenient procedure. The ligand was characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and IR spectroscopies, elemental analysis and optical activity measurements. Mononuclear iron(III) complex (FeL(Pro)) of this ligand was synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-vis, ESI-MS, magnetic susceptibility studies and cyclic voltammetry techniques. The eq...

Diminishing protein aggregation by chaperone is very important factor in medicine and industry. In this paper, itis induced the chaperone ability for 0-casein upon modification of its acidic residues by Woodward reagentK(WRK) and examined on lysozyme as a target protein at pH 7.2 and outlined the mechanism for chaperoneability of modified system by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and theor...
