The quality of biological samples greatly affects the accuracy of scientific results. However, RNA in cryopreserved tissues gradually degrades during storage, leading to errors in the results of subsequent experiments. A suitable sample preservative solution can prolong storage and enhance the research value of samples. Here, we developed a sample preservative solution using the properties of t...

By means of EPR spectroscopy the behaviour of the vanadocene dichloride (I), Cp(2)VCl(2) (Cp=eta(5)-C(5)H(5)), in various deoxygenated and non-deoxygenated physiological media and therapeutic solution as well as in blood plasma and stabilized human blood was studied. On the basis of measured values of isotropic spectroscopic splitting factor g(iso) and isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A(is...

Oxovanadium(IV) complexes of the type [VO(mac)]SO4 , (where mac = tetraaza macrocyclic ligands derived by condensation of furil with 1,4-diaminobenzene or 3,4-diaminopyridine and their reaction with βdiketones) have been prepared using vanadyl ion as kinetic template. Tentative structures of the complexes have been proposed on the basis of elemental analysis, infrared, e.s.r. and electronic dat...

The investigation of charge transport in organic nanocrystals is essential to understand nanoscale physical properties of organic systems and the development of novel organic nanodevices. In this work, we fabricate organic nanocrystal diodes contacted by rolled-up robust nanomembranes. The organic nanocrystals consist of vanadyl phthalocyanine and copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine heterojunct...

the vo(iv) complexes of tridentate ono schiff base ligands derived from 2- aminobenzoicacid and salicylaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and characterized by ir, uv–vis and elemental analysis. electrochemical properties of the vanadyl complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. a good linear correlation was observed between the oxidation potentials and the electron-withdrawing charac...

Thanks to a homemade dynamic vacuum system, fully crystallized VO2 (M) is successfully synthesized in merged step of vanadyl ethylene glycolate (VEG) decomposition and crystallization at high temperatures (>500 °C). During the whole process, vanadium valence (+4) well maintained, VEG microstructure plays an important role end-product size shape. Finally, suggested route appears suitable for mas...
