In this study, a new magnesium(II) porphyrazine derivative tetrasubstituted with dicarboxypyrrolyl moieties was synthesized. Two different approaches were used, utilizing conventional heating and microwave irradiation. The developed three-step processes were compared showing the superior performance of the microwave-assisted organic synthesis. The new macrocycle ...
Continue readingAn easy approach to the enantioselective synthesis of five-, six-, and seven-membered ring-fused cyclopentadienes (85–99% ee) is based on the Au(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of enantiomerically pure or enriched propargyl vinyl ethers, which occurs with complete central-to-axial-to-central chirality transfer. DFT calculations show that the formation of a no...
Continue readingPhysically unclonable functions (PUFs) are hardware-based security keys that are considered one of the most promising next-generation security solutions for intelligent systems. Numerous studies have reported on optical and electrical PUFs; however, these PUFs exhibit certain limitations, such as complicated readout systems and low encoding capacity. Optoelectronic...
Continue readingIR spectra from 4000 to 100 cm–1 were measured for four kinds of alkali chloride solutions (LiCl, NaCl, KCl, CsCl solutions) with different concentrations. Their second derivative spectra revealed two bands around 3400 and 3160 cm–1 attributed to the OH stretching mode of weakly hydrogen-bonded (WHB) and strongly hydrogen-bonded (SHB) water species, r...
Continue readingNature constructs matter by employing protein folding motifs, many of which have been synthetically reconstituted to exploit function. A less understood motif whose structure-function relationships remain unexploited is formed by parallel β-strands arranged in a helical repetitive pattern, termed a β-helix. Herein we reconstitute a protein β-helix ...

These features highlight the application potential of deep learning enhanced photodetectors in applications that require accurate for visual light communication (VLC). Experimental results showcased...
Continue readingIn this work, the micromorphology of the Ni @ amorphous carbon films and their relationship to other optical properties using atomic force microscopic (AFM) imaging were examined. The surface topography of these Ni @ amorphous carbon sheets was reported using stereometric analysis and the SPIPTM 6.7.4 software in compliance with ISO 25178-2:2012 and ASME B46.1-20...
Continue readingTwo novel metallogels, designated as Cd-AIA and Hg-AIA, were synthesized at ambient temperature utilizing 5-aminoisophthalic acid (AIA) as the gelator, along with cadmium(II) acetate and mercury(II) acetate in N,N-dimethylformamide. Rheological tests validated the mechanical robustness of the Cd(II)- and Hg(II)-based metallogels under various conditions. Characteri...
Continue readingUpconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have incredible potential for countless applications, especially in biology and medicine. These NPs can be used to bioimaging animals and plants and analyze their physiology, metabolic pathways, or intercellular interactions in real-time. However, before reaching such an application, the UCNPs physicochemical properties during pro...
Continue readingSingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted attention for use in thermoelectric generators (TEGs) that convert thermal energy into electricity. SWCNTs, which are lightweight, flexible, and nontoxic materials, are perfectly suited for TEGs as self-contained power sources for Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. However, the generation of electricity by TEG...
