Solid state chemical reaction is attributed to the chemical reaction performed at temperature which reactants are solid. In most solid state chemical reactions the reaction volume continually diminishes as the reactants become spatially separated by the products. As a result, the kinetics of solid state chemical reactions are limited by the rate at which reactant species are able to diffuse acr...

In a locally isolated Rhizopus oryzae strain highest-production of protease (388.54/g wheat bran) was observed in presence of Tween-80 and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate individually at 40mg/g wheat bran concentration. Under solid state fermentation biotin (0.0025mg/g wheat bran); Ca2+ (0.05mg/g wheat bran) and 1-Naphthyl acetic acid (0.01mg/g wheat bran) also showed some inducing effect on the ...

One-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer, [Zn(4,4´-bpy)(H2O)4](ADC).4H2O (1) (4,4´-bpy = 4,4´-bipyridine and H2ADC = acetylenedicarboxylic acid), and three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework (MOF), Zn(ADC)2.(HTEA)2(2) (HTEA = triethylamine) were prepared at room temperature. The compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses....

The synthesis of O-doped benzorylenes, in which peripheral carbon atoms have been replaced by oxygen atoms, has been achieved for the first time. This includes key high-yielding ring-closure steps which, through intramolecular C-O bond formation, allow stepwise planarization of oligonaphthalenes. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the tetraoxa derivative forms remarkable face-to-face ...
