Metal-organic coordination polymers are a class of organic–inorganic materials consists of metal ions linked together through multi-dentate organic ligands, to form a polymeric chain. These materials have received a great deal of attention in a wide range of different areassuch as catalysis, sensing, luminescence, separation and storage used . The new nano flowerPb(II) 1Dmetal-organic chain {[P...

Polyaniline is known to be a true metal, though a nanometal. Previous experimental and theoretical evidence is reviewed. Two important structural features are presented, which have not publicly been discussed so far: (a) The formation of complexes between polyaniline and metals (Cu, Fe, Zn, In, etc.) which are crucial for most practical applications of the organic metal, polyaniline; and (b) a ...

Interface atom migration and compositional evolution during the heterostructure nanojoining process under external electrical loadings has been investigated in situ inside a transmission electron microscope with atomic resolution. The results indicate that the migration of oxygen atoms on the contact interface of metal nanorods is a thermal dominated process rather than an electromigration proc...

In this study, polymeric nanocomposites of PANI and PANI/nanometal oxides (Fe2O3, NiO, SnO2, WO3, ZrO2) as photocatalysts were synthesized with a chemical polymerization method. Structural characterizations performed follows: FT-IR, SEM, TEM XRD, TGA. The effect pure nanometal on the degradation naproxen, drug active ingredient, was studied under visible light (UV-A at 365 nm) in absence light....

Nanometal surface energy transfer (NSET), which describes an energy transfer event from optically excited organic fluorophores to small metal nanoparticles, may be used as a molecular beacon/ruler similar to FRET, but with advantages over this classical technique. Here we use NSET to measure Mg(2+)-induced conformational changes for a hammerhead ribozyme and confirm these measurements using FRE...

Nitroimidazoles are radiosensitizers and hypoxia detecting chemosensitizers. Intially nitroimidazoles were single dose antibiotic drugs. Recently, nitroimidazole derivatives have emerged as multifunctional “drug-biomarker monitors” chemical compounds with importance in treatment of tumors, monitoring hypoxia and safer imaging contrast agents to monitor the therapeutic progress. Additionally, th...
