A novel colorimetric nitrite ion sensor was developed utilizing 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) modified gold nanorods (GNR). In the presence of nitrite ions, the deamination reaction was induced by heating the 4-ATP modified GNR in ethanol solution, resulting in the reduction of the GNR surface charges, which led to aggregation of GNRs and a colorimetric response that was quantitatively correlated t...

ZnO nanorods have been grown on Si(001) wafer and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates for 1 and 4 h with the hydrothermal methods. The morphologies and photocatalytic activities of the ZnO nanorods were found to depend on the substrates. We investigated their properties by using spectroscopic analysis and demonstrated that the shape of nanorod and the ratios of external defects can ...

The design of screening methods for the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food would improve the efficiency in their control. We report here a PCR amplification method combined with a sequence-specific electrochemical genosensor for the quantification of a DNA sequence characteristic of the 35S promoter derived from the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV). Specifically, we emplo...

ABSTRACT. In this research, theoretical and experimental investigation was performed on the structural spectral data of aminothiophenol isomers. The electronic structure analyses were by density functional theory at B3LYP level with LanL2DZ basis set in gas phase isolated compounds ground state. Potential energy distribution analysis to determine assignments vibration bands. Experimental spectr...

a new al(iii) selective membrane based on 5-bromo(salicylidene-2-amino thiophenol) as a neutral carrier in a poly(vinyl chloride) (pvc) matrix is coated on platinum wire to determine trace amounts of al(iii) ion in various samples. the sensor exhibits a good response for al(iii) ion over a wide concentration range of 5.20 × 10-7 to 1.00 × 10-2 m  with nernstian slope of 19.64 ± 0.15 mv decade-1...
