meso-Substituted BODIPY with N-butylcarbazole () was prepared and derivatized. Dibromo BODIPY , α-formyl BODIPY and β-formyl BODIPY were synthesized. All compounds were characterized by HRMS, NMR, UV-vis absorption, electrochemical and fluorescence techniques. The crystal structures of BODIPY and its dibromo derivative were also solved. In both the X-ray structures, the dihedral angle between t...

The reaction at room temperature of an aldehyde with excess pyrrole in the absence of solvent affords the meso-substituted dipyrromethane. The reaction is catalyzed with trifluoroacetic acid or with BF9,0(Et)2. The dipyrromethaue is purified by crystallixation or by flash chromatography on silica with eluants containing 1% triethylamine. The reaction is compatible with aliphatic or aromatic ald...

Optical nanomaterials with intense absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region hold great promise for biomedical applications such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In this work, we report mesoporous carbon nanospheres (Meso-CNs) with broadband and intense absorption in the UV-Vis-NIR region (300-1400 nm) and explore their potential as a multifunctional platform for ph...

The synthesis of the first meso-meso linked core modified smaragdyrins with unusual single photon properties is reported.

Meso-scale turbulence is an innate phenomenon, distinct from inertial turbulence, that spontaneously occurs at low Reynolds number in fluidized biological systems. This spatiotemporal disordered flow radically changes nutrient and molecular transport in living fluids and can strongly affect the collective behaviour in prominent biological processes, including biofilm formation, morphogenesis an...

A facile solvent evaporation induced self-assembly (SEISA) strategy was developed to synthesize mesoporous N-doped anatase TiO2 (SE-meso-TON) using a single organic complex precursor derived in situ from titanium butoxide and ethylenediamine in ethanol solution. After the evaporation of ethanol in a fume hood and subsequent calcinations at 450 °C, the obtained N-doped TiO2 (meso-TON) anatase wa...

To investigate the effects of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents upon the reaction of porphyrins with osmium tetraoxide, and the pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement of the resulting diols, a series of meso-substituted porphyrins were prepared by total synthesis. Porphyrins with electron-donating substitutents at the meso-positions gave vic-dihydroxychlorins in which the adjace...

Sanguisorba officinalis is a natural plant that has been traditionally used for the treatment of inflammatory and metabolic diseases. Several studies have reported that its extracts exhibit anticancer, antioxidative and anti-lipid peroxidation activities. However, the effects of this plant on human prostate cancer cells have not yet been investiga...
