Hydrothermal synthesis of BiVO4: Structural and morphological influence on the photocatalytic activity
En el presente artículo se han sintetizado heteroestructuras jerarquizadas de BiVO4 mediante un método hidrotermal y sin surfactante. Los sistemas obtenidos presentan una buena actividad fotocatalítica para la degradación de azul de metileno bajo irradiación UV-vis. A...
Chemical Reactivity and Electrochemistry of Metal–Metal-Bonded Zincocenes
Attempts to prepare mixed-ligand zinc–zinc-bonded compounds that contain bulky C5Me5 and terphenyl groups, [Zn2(C5Me5)(Ar′)], lead to disproportionation. The resulting half-sandwich Zn(II) complexes [(η5-C5Me5)ZnAr′] (Ar′ = 2,6-(2,6-iPr2C6H3)2-C6H3, 2;...
Polycationic Amphiphilic Cyclodextrins for Gene Delivery: Synthesis and Effect of Structural Modifications on Plasmid DNA Complex Stability, Cytotoxicity, and Gene Expression
A molecular-diversity-oriented approach for the preparation of well-defined polycationic amphiphilic cyclodextrins paCDs) as gene-delivery systems is reported. The synthetic strategy takes advantage of the differential reactivity of primary versus secondary hydroxyl...
Improved non-covalent biofunctionalization of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes using Carbohydrates Amphiphiles with a Butterfly-Like Polyaromatic tail
We have developed an efficient strategy for the non-covalent functionalization of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) which allows a biomimetic presentation of carbohydrates on their surface by π-π stacking interactions. The strategy is based on the use of...
