Theoretical methods (DFT/TD-DFT) were applied to study the sensing mechanism of triarylborane naphthalimide. The free-energy and binding-energy change revealed more feasibility and binding affinity of fluoride in comparison ...

Bimetallic hollow core-shell nanoparticles have gained immense attention especially, as a high-performance catalyst due to their large surface area and increased number of uncoordinated atoms. But, the synthesis of anisotropic ...

Endoplasmic reticulum is one of the vital organelles primarily involved in protein synthesis, folding, transport and lipid biosynthesis. However, in cancer cells its functions are dysregulated leading to ER stress. ER ...

End-to-end dimers of gold nanorods are predicted to be excellent substrates for surface-enhanced spectroscopy. However, synthesis of solution-stable end-to-end dimers remains challenging. Here we exploit the pH-dependent ...

End-to-end assemblies of anisotropic plasmonic nanostructures with small nanogaps are of great interest as they create strong hot spots for enhancing weak fluorescence and/or scattering of molecules. Here we report the ...

The main objective of the present study is a quantitative determination of menthol using a simple, sensitive, and reproducible method of reacting menthol with an aromatic aldehyde (salicylaldehyde) in an acidic medium. A ...

Lipid droplets (LDs), the lipid-rich intracellular organelles, serve to regulate many physiological processes and therefore attention has been attracted towards their selective detection. We report positively solvatochromic ...

Although luminescence spectroscopy has been a promising sensing technology with widespread applications in point-of-care diagnostics and chem-bio detection, it fundamentally suffers from low signal collection efficiency, ...

Cobaloxime complex gained the attention for its intrinsic ability of catalytic H2 production, despite its initial emergence as a Vitamin B12 model. The simple, robust, and a synthetically manoeuvrable cobaloxime core ...

The synthesis of water-soluble thioglycosylated A2B2 type porphyrins and their zinc(II) complexes is reported. The water-soluble trans-A2B2 porphyrins were synthesized in two steps, via [2+2] condensation between ...
