Growth stimulation of gram (Cicer arietinum) plant by water soluble carbon nanotubes

Water soluble carbon nanotubes (wsCNTs) show enhancement of the growth rate of common gram ( Cicer arietinum ) plants. Treating plants with up to 6.0 g mL 1 of wsCNT shows an increased growth rate in every part of the plant including the roots, shoots and also in branching. The noticeable difference between the wsCNT t...

A Chemodosimeter for the Ratiometric Detection of Hydrazine Based on Return of ESIPT and Its Applicat

A probe based on 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) has been synthesized and used for the ratiometric detection of hydrazine. The probe is designed in such a way that the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of the HBT moiety gets blocked. The chemodosimetric approach of hydrazine to the probe resu...

Modeling the Tungsten Sites of Inactive and Active Forms of Hyperthermophilic Pyrococcus furiosus Ald

The complex [Et 4 N] 2 [W VI O 2 (mnt) 2 ] ( 1 ), [Et 4 N] 2 [W IV O(mnt) 2 ] ( 2 ), and [Et 4 N] 2 [W VI O(S 2 )(mnt) 2 ] ( 3 ) (mnt 2- = 1,2-dicyanoethylenedithiolate) have been synthesized as possible models for the tungsten cofactor of inactive red tungsten protein (RTP) and the active aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoredu...

Chemistry at the Dirac Point: Diels–Alder Reactivity of Graphene

Most of the interesting physics of graphene results from the singular electronic band structure at the so-called Dirac point, where the conduction and valence bands cross in momentum space. Although graphene is very stable thermodynamically, the electronic structure at the Dirac point facilitates basal plane chemistry ...
