Ag nanoclusters consisting of several AQ:1 to a hundred atoms with diameters less than 2 nm show molecule-like properties, including discrete electronic AQ:2 transitions and strong fluorescence. They have received considerable research interest due to their unique optical, electrical and chemical properties and potential applications in chemicaland biosensing. Ag nanoclusters exhibit excellent ...

In this investigation, a facile and green sonochemical route has been developed for the synthesis of 2-Ketomethylquinolines by using 2-methylquinolines and several acyl chlorides in the presence of nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst. The combination of nanocatalyst and ultrasonic process afforded corresponding ketomethyl quinolines in shorter re...

A proper, atom-economical, straightforward one-pot multicomponent synthetic route for the synthesis of benzopyranophenazines has been presented by the reaction of hydroxynaphthoquinone, o-phenylenediamine, benzaldehydes, and malononitrile with crosslinked sulfonated polyacrylamide (Cross-PAA-SO3H) attached to nano-Fe3O4as an efficient heterogeneous soli...

A novel sonochemical method for the selective synthesis of a-HgS (cinnabar) and b-HgS (metacinnabar) nanoparticles in aqueous solutions is reported in this paper. a-HgS and b-HgS nanoparticles have been selectively prepared by choosing sodium thiosulfate and thiourea as the sulfur source respectively. To study the crystalline structure, size, morphology and composition of the products, characte...

We model the collapse of a bubble by taking into account all the energy forms involved (i.e., mechanical, thermal, chemical, and radiative) and compare the calculated radical yields with sonochemical data in H2O. Water decomposition plays a critical role in the energy balance, but trails equilibrium even in bubbles collapsing at subsonic speeds. Integration of the equation of bubble motion coup...
