C&en: Science & Technology - a Total Synthesis Detective Story

The Case of Mór Jókai and the Detective Story

While from the viewpoint of typology it is often stated that the genre of detective fiction originated with the work of Edgar Allan Poe, this statement can be challenged from the standpoint of literary or reception history. Several recent histories of detective fiction emphasize the importance of employing a wider generic view, yet they hardly expand their perspective beyond English literary tr...

SYNTHESIS OF MgAl2O4-Ti(C,N) NANOCOMPOSITE BY ALUMINOTHERMIC REDUCTION

MgAl2O4/Ti(C,N) composites were synthesized through aluminothermic reaction between Al,TiO 2,MgO powders and phenolic resin in coke bed condition. Effect of addition of carbon black and sugar into the mixture at different temperatures were investigated. The phases and microstructures of samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). MgAl 2O4 ...

EFFECT OF ZrO2 PARTICLE SIZE ON MORPHOLOGY and SYNTHESIS OF NANO CaZrO3Via MOLTEN SALT METHOD

Well crystallized pure calcium zirconate (CaZrO3 ) nanopowder was successfully synthesized using the molten-salt method. CaCl2 , Na 2CO3, micro-ZrO 2and nano-ZrO 2 were used as starting materials. On heating, Na2CO3 reacted with CaCl 2to form NaCl and CaCO 3. Nano CaZrO 3 was formed by reacting equimolar amounts of in situformed CaCO 3 (or CaO) and ZrO 2 in molten Na 2CO3-NaCl e...

The Synthesis of Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimer: Dyeing and Fluorescence Properties

The synthesis of a new yellow fluorescent 4-(2-methylamino)-ethyloxy-N-PAMAM-1,8-naphthalimide from zero generation has been described. The chemical structure of synthesized dendrimers was confirmed using FT-IR, 1HNMR and DSC techniques. The new materials are comprised of a 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore having a substituent at C-4 position. The synthesized compounds (P2 and P3) were ...
