Oxide nanoparticles can exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to their limited size and a high density of corner or edge surface sites. In this study, MgO nanoparticle was synthesized using Mg(CH3COO)2 and hexamethylenetetramine as starting materials. The structure and optical properties of these particles are investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), sc...

The presence of members of the aerogenes (Aerobacter) group of bacteria offers considerable interference in the positive identification of the members of the colon (Escherichia) group in waters. Many attempts have been made by research workers to find selective media by which the members of the above-mentioned groups might be differentiated. One of the most recent selective media for such a dif...

A variety of benzyl halides were converted to the corresponding aldehydes/ketones in respectable yields by IBX in DMSO at 65 C. The bromohydrin reaction of olefins using NBS–H2O in DMSO can be nicely adapted to IBX-mediated oxidation of benzyl halides in such a way that olefins are converted to the corresponding 1,2-diketones in good isolated yields in one-pot. 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Four mol-ecular salts made from hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium and 2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoate have been synthesized and are reported, namely ammonium hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium bis-(2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoate), NH4+·C6H13N4+·2C7H3ClNO4-, (I), hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium hydrogen bis-(2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoate), 0.5C6H13N4+·C7H3.50ClNO4-, (II), hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-minium 2-chloro-4-nitro-benzoa...

1-Benzyl-3-phenyl-2-thiourea (BPTU) was studied as a steel corrosion inhibitor in 1.0 M HCl solution. Experimental methods were conducted including potentiodynamic polarization measurement (PPM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Quantum calculations performed at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p). Hexamethylenetetramine (URO) selected for comparison ...
