In our search for efficient and photostable laser dyes, four new dyes with the basic structure of the commercial BODIPY laser dye PM567, with either an 8-diphenylene or an 8-p-triphenylene group, both substituted at the terminal polyphenylene position with an acetoxymethyl (dyes P2Ar1Ac and P3Ar1Ac, respectively) or a methacryloyloxymethyl group (dyes P2Ar1MA and P3Ar1MA, respectively), have be...

Microscopy based on voltage-sensitive dyes has proven effective for revealing spatio-temporal patterns of neuronal activity in vivo and in vitro. Two-photon microscopy using voltage-sensitive dyes offers the possibility of wide-field visualization of membrane potential on sub-cellular length scales, hundreds of microns below the tissue surface. Very little information is available, however, abo...

dye removal from effluents of textile industries of iran was investigated through biodegradabilitymethod and membrane technology . basic, reactive,disperse and acidic dyes were selected, based onusage rate in iran. the zahen - welenze method (iso 9888) was applied to study the biodegradabilityof dyes. results showed the final cod and dye removal (%r) as (%61,% 57), (%73, %76), (%25, %14),and (%...

Natural and synthetic purine derivatives such as caffeine, theophylline, 6-mercaptopurine and 8-chlorotheophylline are important drugs. Due to the structural similarity of these compounds, it is intrinsically difficult to prepare chemosensors for their selective optical detection. Here, we describe a sensor array which can be used to differentiate pharmacologically important purine derivatives ...

A series of novel azo-disperse dyes containing alkylhydrazonopyridinone structures were synthesized. 4-Methyl-2,6-dioxo-1-propyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (8) is synthesized by one-pot synthesis using ethyl cyanoacetate, propylamine, and ethyl acetoacetate. Compound 8 is then coupled with aromatic and heteroaromatic diazonium salts to afford the corresponding aryl- and heteroary...

The low cost adsorbents namely Rice Husk Carbon (RHC), Wheat Straw Carbon (WSC) and Saw Dust Carbon (SDC) have been tested for the effectiveness in decolourisation of wastewater containing a mixture of dyes. Three dyes namely crystal violet, direct orange and magenta have been used for imparting colour in the representative samples of wastewater. Effect of various parameters such as agitation t...

Azo dyes represents largest group and most versatile among synthetic dyes. Its Extensiveuse in industries of paper, photography, dying, printing, cosmetics and their subsequent release in industrial effluents by traditional methods of treatment is causing serious environmental problems worlwide. In the present studies a mixed bacterial consortium (azo 8) was isolated from dye polluted soil from...
