A chemically diverse range of novel tetraoxanes was synthesized and evaluated in vitro against intramacrophage amastigote forms of Leishmania donovani. All 15 tested tetraoxanes displayed activity, with IC50 values ranging from 2 to 45 µm. The most active tetraoxane, co...

Chemically modified nucleic acids have long served as a very important class of bio-hybrid structures. In particular, the modification with PEG has advanced the scope and performance of oligonucleotides in materials science, catalysis and therapeutics. Most of the appli...

In this work we study the crystallization processes of two sets of amorphous Fe80B20 films fabricated by Pulsed Laser Ablation Deposition on substrates with different nature, Corning glass® and MgO(001). We analyze their magnetic hysteresis mechanisms by means of magnet...

Novel applications for memory devices demand nanoscale flexible structures. In particular, resistive switching (RS) devices are promising candidates for wearable and implantable technologies. Here, the Pt/Si/Ag/TiW metal-insulator-metal structure was fabricated and char...

Bifunctional nanostructured architectures have shown appealing properties, since a single entity can combine the diverse properties of its individual constituents. Particularly, by growing Fe-oxide domains over Ag nanoparticles, the plasmonic and superparamagnetic prope...

Zinc(II) complexes bearing N-salicylideneglycinate (Sal-Gly) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or phenanthroline derivatives [NN= 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-amine-1,10-phenanthroline (amphen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen) and 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-1,10-phe...

The chemistry and catalytic performance of the dichlorido complex [MoO2Cl2(pbim)] (1) [pbim = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole] in the epoxidation of olefins is reported. Complex 1 acts as a precatalyst and is more effective with tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant...

The application of nanosized multicomponent particles often requires tailored mixing characteristics. This involves mixing on primary particle level, on cluster level, or on aggregate level. This mixing is often evaluated qualitatively in 2D, based on image analyses. Th...

This work highlights the use of Fe-modified MgAl-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to replace dye and semiconductor complexes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), forming a layered double hydroxide solar cell (LDHSC). For this purpose, a MgAl-LDH and a Fe-modified MgAl...
