Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations of alkenes and alkynes can upgrade readily available unsaturated compounds to valuable building blocks for organic synthesis. Late transition metals supported by ligands, particularly palladium, rhodium, iridium, have traditionally been employed enantioselective functionalization alkynes, but these precious are costly. Silver is a much less ...

A general and rapid procedure is developed for the selective tritylation of the 'primary OH-function of the four common ribonucleosides, ascorbic acid, and polyhydric compounds. Silver ion was found to have a marked effect on tritylation reactions

Research for a reliable solid-form semiconductor neutron detector continues because such a device would have greater efficiency, in a compact form, than present day gas-filled He and BF3 detectors. The Li(n,t)He reaction yields a total Q value of 4.78 MeV, larger than B, and easily identified above background radiations. Hence, devices composed of either natural Li (nominally 7.5% Li) or enrich...

Optimally doped silver selenide and silver telluride exhibit linear positive magnetoresistance over decades in magnetic field and on a scale comparable to the colossal magnetoresistance compounds. We use hydrostatic pressure to smoothly alter the band structure of Ag-rich and Ag-deficient samples of semiconducting Ag(2 +/-delta)Te of fixed stoichiometry and disorder. We find that the magnetores...

A class of Ag(I) N-heterocyclic carbene silver complexes, 1-3, derived from 4,5-dichloro-1H-imidazole has been evaluated for their anticancer activity against the human cancer cell lines OVCAR-3 (ovarian), MB157 (breast), and Hela (cervical). Silver complexes 1-3 are active against the ovarian and breast cancer cell lines. A preliminary in vivo study shows 1 to be active against ovarian cancer ...

one of the best and the most active ways for surveying thermal behaviour of materials is using differential scanning calorimetry. in this paper, the authors have studied thermal behaviour for schiff base ligand and their synthesized cobalt, nickel complexes. in this method, the sample is opposed to a controlled temperature change and its physical properties. here we studied melting point and tg...

A red luminescent silver cluster was synthesized in milligram quantities by the direct core reduction of the most widely studied class of large silver nanoparticles, namely silver@citrate of tens of nanometres diameter. No byproducts such as thiolates were detected, unlike in the case of typical methods of making such clusters. The route provides nearly pure clusters. The possibility to make di...

There has been a recent surge in the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent in a wide range of domestic and clinical products, intended to prevent or treat bacterial infections and reduce bacterial colonization of surfaces. It has been reported that the antibacterial and cytotoxic properties of silver are affected by the assay conditions, particularly the type of growth media used in vitro. Th...

The Present Bio-synthesis is an efficient, fast, cheap, nontoxic, simple and eco-friendly protocol for silver nanoparticles synthesis, which is more beneficial than commonly used physiochemical methods. Here in silver nanoparticles are biosynthesized using Citrus sinensis var. Kozan yerly fruit juice as reducing and stabilizing agent. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms the crystalline...
