the reduction capacity of ammonia while present even at ppm level can be demonstrated by the increased encounter probability between ammonia and methylene blue dye (mb+) incorporated in nanomordenite and na-mor zeolites. the rate of reduction methylene blue dye by ammonia on the surface nanomordenite zeolite is faster than na-mordenite (na-mor) zeolite.because nanomordenite zeolite with high si...

the present study concentrates on the synthesis of au nanoparticles (aunps) using aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp) and tetrachloroaurate by different methods as thermal, sonochemical and electrochemical reduction. the pvp has been used as a reducing agent and acts as a stabilizer for au nano particles that obtained as principal product. in all synthesis procedures, the active radi...

a novel podand based anion receptor bearing benzimidazole motifs as recognition sites was designed and synthesized by reaction of 1,7-bis(2'-methylbenzoate)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and phenylenediamine. the binding properties of anionic guest with this receptor were studied using uv-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. these studies revealed that this receptor exhibit selective recognition towards f- ...

the main objective of this research was to synthesize and characterize gold-coated fe3o4 /sio2 nanoshells for clinical applications. magnetite nanoparticles (nps) were prepared via co-precipitation. the results showed that smaller particles can be synthesized by decreasing the naoh concentration, which in our case this corresponded to 35 nm by using 0.9 m of naoh at 750 rpm. the nps were then m...

[1]Zirconametalloarenophanes [Cr(η(5)-C(5)H(4))ZrCp'(2)(η(7)-C(7)H(6))] and [Mn(η(5)-C(5)H(4))ZrCp'(2)(η(6)-C(6)H(5))] (Cp' = C(5)H(4)(t)Bu) have been isolated for the first time. These species represent potential precursors en route to metal-enriched metallopolymers by ROP. The electronic structure was assessed by means of UV-visible spectroscopy and TD-DFT calculations.

The manuscript describes a method to obtain spectral aerosol optical thicknesses from measurements with a spectroradiometer in the UV-visible range. The direct solar light is inferred from the difference between total radiation and diffuse radiation. The latter is obtained by the use of a sun blocking disc. An error budget is presented. The results are validated against the measurements with a ...
