Ultrathin (submicrometer) organic films of specified index of refraction are constructed by the sequential deposition of self-assembled zirconium phosphonate (ZP) molecular monolayers that contain two Merent bisphosphonate ions, 1,lO-decanediylbis(phosphonate) (DBP) and 4,4azobis[(p-phenylene)methylenelbis(phosphonate) (AZO). By varying the ratio of DBP to AZO monolayers in the ZP multilayer fi...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous contact allergies to Disperse Orange 1, 4-nitroaniline and p-aminodiphenylamine (PADPA), as well as to other disperse azo dyes and to p-phenylenediamine (PPD), have been reported. Cross-reactivity is one of the possible explanations for simultaneous reactions between PPD and disperse azo dyes. Some metabolites from the azo reduction of these disperse azo dyes could be se...

Biological treatment methods for the biodegradation of anthropogenic toxic pollutants are eco-friendly in nature and powered by a variety microbial enzymes. Green chemistry enzymes play crucial role catalyzing organic inorganic including azo dyes; polyaromatic hydrocarbons; lead; cyanides; aromatic amines; mono-, di-, polyphenols; polymers; mercury. Laccases form prospective group multifunction...

5-((4-alkoxyphenyl)azo)salicyladehyde, 5-((4-alkoxyphenyl)azo)-n-(npentyl, ndodecyl)-salicyladimine and bis [5-((4-alkoxyphenyl)azo)-n-(npentyl, ndodecyl)-salicyladiminato]copper(ii) [alkoxy=oncnh2n+1; n=3-7] homologues were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, mass and ir spectra. all complex homologues are thermally stable. cyclic voltammetric studies indicated that all copper...

In textile industry during the dyeing process roughly 10% of synthetic dyes were used and let into the wastewater. Among all dyestuff Azo dyes occupies in majority, because they are extensively used in the textile, paper, food, leather, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. They represent chief polluting components ranging from inorganic compounds to polymers and organic elements. However pr...

Crystallizing the cobalt(II) salt of the azo dye Orange G from water was found to give the solvent-separated ion-pair species hexa-aqua-cobalt(II) 7-oxo-8-(2-phenyl-hydrazin-1-ylidene)-7,8-dihydro-naphthalene-1,3-disulfonate tetra-hydrate, [Co(H(2)O)(6)](C(16)H(10)N(2)O(7)S(2))·4H(2)O. The asymmetric unit of the cobalt(II) salt contains three independent octa-hedral [Co(OH(2))(6)](2+) cations, ...

Bacillus halodurans MTCC 865 was employed for decolorization of textile azo dye, Acid Black-24 (AB-24). Thousand mgl⁻¹ of AB-24 was decolorized with 90% efficiency by the strain within 6 hrs at pH 9 and 37 °C with 5% NaCl under static conditions in screening medium. Decolorization was evaluated by measuring the periodic decrease in absorbance at 557 nm (λ(max)). Biodegradation of Acid Black-24 ...

The optical and electronic properties of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films on a glass substrate are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Optical studies with coupling in the Kretschmann configuration reveal an angle-dependent plasma frequency in the mid-IR for p-polarized radiation, suggestive of the detection of a Drude plasma frequency. These studies are complemented by oxy...

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films with various Al concentrations were synthesized on Si(001) substrates with native oxide layers by atomic layer deposition process. The effects of the Al concentration on the microstructural characteristics of the AZO thin films grown at 250 degrees C and the correlation between their microstructural characteristics and electrical properties of the AZO thin films we...

The synthetic prostaglandin analog 9,11-azoprosta-5,13-dienoic acid (azo analog I) has been found to be a potent inhibitor of human platelet thromboxane synthetase by three independent analytical methods: electron-capture gas chromatography, radioisotopic thin-layer chromatography, and radioimmunoassay. In the presence of azo analog I, human platelet aggregation induced by either the prostaglan...
