Biodegradable nanostructures displaying aggregation-induced emission (AIE) are desirable from a biomedical point of view, due to the advantageous features loading capacity, brightness, and fluorescence stability. Herein, biodegradable polymers comprising poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly(caprolactone-gradient-trimethylene carbonate) (PEG-P(CLgTMC)), with tetraphenylethylene pyridinium-TMC (PAIE...

The Co(II) atom in the title complex, {[Co(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](C(8)H(4)O(4))}(n), is coordinated by two N atoms of two bipyridine ligands and four O atoms of four water mol-ecules in an octahedral geometry. The one-dimensional [Co(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](2+) cation chain is further extended into a supra-molecular network via O-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions. The Co atom lies on a twofo...

Chemical recycling of Polyethylene terephthalate, PET, wastage has been investigated in this study. The aim of this work is recovery of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycols from PET waste. This process has been done in two stages. At the first stage, reaction between PET waste and sodium hydroxide for production of ethylene glycol and sodium terephthalate solution carried out in a stainless s...
