Sol–gel derived (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane–tetramethoxysilane ((CH3O)3SiCH2CH2CH2NH2–Si(OCH3)4) hybrid films are shown to have properties that make the films suitable for DNA microarray applications. The essential characteristics of the films are discussed on the basis of binding of aminated 25-mer oligonucleotide DNA to the films via 1,4-phenylenediisothiocyanate linkering. The binding of...

The synthesis of α-amino carbonyl/carboxyl compounds is a contemporary challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we present a stereoselective α-amination of amides employing simple azides that proceeds under mild conditions with release of nitrogen gas. The amide is used as the limiting reagent, and through simple variation of the azide pattern, various differently substituted aminated products c...

This feature article provides an overview of the application of organic azides for the intermolecular amination of sp(3) and sp(2) C-H bonds. The catalytic activity of several metal complexes was reviewed underlining both synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the C-H amination. The majority of the aminated compounds reported in literature have been collected in this paper to provide a compendium...

We report a simple and scalable method for the separation of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from metallic SWNTs using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with polycationic tri-aminated polysorbate 80 (TP80). MNPs-TP80 are selectively adsorbed on acid-treated semiconducting SWNTs, which makes the semiconducting SWNTs be highly concentrated to over 95% under a magn...

Separation performances of micellar enhanced ultrafiltration process in Cr(III) and Cr(VI) removal has been evaluated. The neat as well as sulfonated and aminated derivatives of polyethersulfone were tested as the material for membrane preparation while hexadecylpyridine chloride and sodium dodecyl sulfate served as surfactant. It was shown that modified membranes can better reject both forms o...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are promising solid supports for controlled anticancer drug delivery. Herein, we report biocompatible layer-by-layer (LbL) coated MSNs (LbL-MSNs) that are designed and crafted to release encapsulated anticancer drugs, e.g., doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), by changing the pH or by adding competitive agents. The LbL coating process comprises bis-aminated po...

this study describes the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (mips) by using an anti-che ops, namely dursban, as a template. non-covalent bulk polymerization was successfully applied to synthesis different imprinted and non-imprinted polymers with maa, mma, aa, and 4-vpy as monomer in selected porogens (chloroform, toluene, and acetonitrile). in order to evaluate the template binding of...

Selective flocculation has long been suggested as a method for the treatment of ultra-fine particles typical of which are those produced in a de-sliming process ahead of flotation. In this paper the results of the coal de-mineralization, using synthetic polyacrylamide polymers, are presented. A prescreening test on the suitability of the polymers using Run-Of-Mine (R.O.M.) coal and artificial m...

background: cattle can be considered as an important source for herbicides through nutrition. therefore, herbicide residue in animal products is a potential human exposure to herbicides causing public health problems in human life. triazines are a group of herbicides primarily used to control broadleaf weeds in corn and other feed ingredients and are considered as possible human carcinogens. to...
