Soot is a major anthropogenic air pollutant that affects human health and contributes to global warming. To understand its formation pathways and reduce emission, several flame and engine studies exist in the literature, ...

Manganese and Nickel doped Zinc Ferrite powder (Mn0.3 Ni0.3 Zn0.4 Fe2O4) was synthesized by autocatalytic thermal decomposition technique. The average crystallite size in the material powder was found to be of 10-13 nm. ...

Herein we present an in-depth study of precursor derived tungsten sulfides, with a focus on their micro- and local structures. We prepared a new tetrathiotungstate based precursor (N sub(2) H sub(5))sub(2)WS sub(4) and ...

A naphthalenediimide (NDI)-based highly potential chemosensor for the detection of cyanide has been synthesized successfully in several steps. The NDI-based probe displayed high selectivity and sensitivity towards cyanide ...

Using photocatalysts to harvest photon energy from sunlight (renewable fuel) is a promising pathway for a wide range of applications, especially for the removal of contaminants from water. Porphyrin and its derivatives are ...

A new 'Off-On' system designed and synthesised by functionalisation of a naphthalene diimide (NDI) core with dimethylamine produces 4,9-bis(dimethylamino)-2,7-dioctylbenzo[lmn][3,8]-phenanthroline-1,3,6,8-(2H,7H)-tetraone, ...

Reaction of a heptacoordinated Ca(II) compound [Ca(H2O)(4)(4-nba)(2)] (4-nba = 4-nitrobenzoate) with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (dmp) leads to the formation of an eight coordinated Ca(II) compound, [[Ca(H2O)(2)(4-nba)(2)].2dmp](n), ...

The present investigation describes a new method to prepare a high surface area mesoporous gamma-Al2O3 by controlled calcination of Al (III) nitrate with urea. The alumina catalyst thus obtained is characterized by XRD, ...

Two novel polymers have been prepared from a monomer N-allyloxycarbonyl diethanolamine-bis(allyl carbonate) i.e., NADAC by cast polymerization and were successfully used as solid state nuclear track detectors for alpha ...
