The introduction of sulfonic acid modified silica in Nafion nanocomposite membranes is a good method of improving the Nafion performance at high temperature and low relative humidity. Sulfonic acid-modified silica is bifunctional, with silica phase expected to offer an improvement in membranes hydration while sulfonic groups enhance proton conductivity. However, as discussed in this paper, this...

Three new metal coordination polymers, namely, [Co(DPP)2(H2O)2]·(BS)2·2H2O (1), [Co(DPP)2(H2O)2]·(ABS)2·2H2O (2) and [Co(DPP)2(MBS)2] (3) [DPP = 1,3-di(pyridin-4-yl)propane, BS = phenyl sulfonic acid, ABS = p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid, MBS = p-methylbenzene sulfonic acid] were obtained under hydrothermal conditions. Complexes 1-3 were structurally characterized using X-ray single-crystal diffr...

The medial septum/vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca (MSDB) provides a major input to the hippocampus and is important for spatial memory. Both cholinergic and GABAergic MSDB neurons project to the hippocampus, and nonselective lesions of the MSDB or transections of the septohippocampal pathway impair spatial memory. However, selective lesions of cholinergic MSDB neurons using 192-IgG ...

Media containing the fluorogenic compound 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid may be used to discriminate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and to differentiate between various species of bacteria. Fluorescent light emitted from colonies of gram-negative bacteria on 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid-containing agar was visually more intense than that on gram-positive bacter...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae harvested from media which had become acid lost the ability both to induce formation of tetrazolium reduction inhibition antibody and to act as antigens in immunodiffusion against human convalescent-phase sera. Incorporation of N-tris(hydroxymethyl)-2-aminoethane sulfonic acid and N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethane sulfonic acid buffers into a new medium containing PPL...

A new and efficient synthesis of benzoxanthene drivatives from the three-component condensation reaction ofaryl aldehydes and β-naphthol under solvent-free conditions in the presence of β-cyclodextrin sulfonic acid, as an efficient heterogeneous solid acid catalyst with excellent yields and short reaction time is presented

3,4-ِDihydropyrano[c]chromene derivatives were synthesized using sulfonic acid functionalized silica (SiO2-Pr-SO3H) as a highly efficient heterogenous solid acid catalyst via one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes with malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin in excellent yields.

rosmarinus officinalis l. (family lamiaceae) popularly named rosemary, is a common household plant grown around the world, including iran. rosemary aerial parts are used as flavoring agent in foods, beverages, and cosmetic preparations and have various traditional uses in ethnomedicine including: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, spasmolytic, carminative and choleretic applications....

polypyrrole is one of the most useful conductive polymers, but green synthesis of this polymer has been restricted until now. the objective of the present paper is green synthesis of nano polypyrrole (ppy) by oxidative polymerization using urea-hydrogen peroxide. it was found that conductivity and morphology of polypyrrole are highly dependent on the reaction conditions such as the molar ratio ...
