Estradiol 17 beta prevented the fall in the microbicidal activity of the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide system induced by high H2O2 concentrations. In contrast, when the H2O2 (and halide) concentrations were low the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide antimicrobial system was inhibited by estradiol. These properties of estradiol 17 beta were shared by estradiol 17 alpha, estrone, estriol, ethinyl estradio...

equatorial/axial conversion in piperidine and phosphorinane with different substituents wereinvestigated with great details. three possible routes, i.e. heteroatom inversion and two ring inversiontype were considered. ring conversion can occur via two pathways one starts with ring flatteningfrom the heteroatom site (nitrogen in piperidine and phosphorous in phosphorinane) and the otherinitiates...

Among various all-inorganic halide perovskites exhibiting better stability than organic-inorganic halide perovskites, a-CsPbI3with themost suitable band gap for tandem solar cell application faces an issue of phase instability under ambient conditions. We discovered that a small amount of two-dimensional (2D) EDAPbI4 perovskite containing the ethylenediamine (EDA) cation stabilizes the a-CsPbI3...

The determination and quantification of halide impurities in ionic liquids is highly important because halide ions can significantly influence the chemical and physical properties of ionic liquids. The use of impure ionic liquids in fundamental studies on solvent extraction or catalytic reactions can lead to incorrect experimental data. The detection of halide ions in solution by total reflecti...

The structural requirements for the inhibitor activity of various furan carboxanilide derivatives against succinate dehydrogenase complex (SDC) activity in mitochondria of either wild or mutant strains of Ustilago maydis were investigated with the aid of Hansch QSAR analysis. It has been found that the inhibitor activity against both types of enzymes is best related to the ??? or ??M of th...

The local structures of the inorganic component of selected organic–inorganic perovskites (OIPs) are studied by analyzing the X-ray pair distribution function. Whereas the long-range structure of each perovskite is the untilted Pm3jm phase, all the OIPs showed significant internal distortion of the octahedra. Varying the halide has a significant impact on the lattice constant. There is evidence...

Two halide sensitive acridinium ̄uorophores have been synthesised and immobilised in a hydrophilic copolymer. Thin ®lms of the copolymers swell in aqueous media allowing dye ̄uorescence to be dynamically quenched by the di€usion of halide ions. The new sensor ®lms have been characterised in terms of their sensitivity and selectivity towards halide and are compared to ®lms containing both bound ...

A new route for fabrication of photoactive materials in organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells is presented in this report. Photoactive materials by blending a semiconductive conjugated polymer with an organolead halide perovskite were fabricated for the first time. The composite active layer was then used to make planar heterojunction solar cells with the PCBM film as the electron-acceptor. Phot...
