The dicyano-substituted vinyl dipyrromethene and compound are near-planar and were prepared from a simple meso-aryl dipyrromethane via the DDQ adduct ; the unique structures of , and were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Interface issues are common and crucial in nanocomposites or nanohybrid systems since the interface area is enormous on the nanoscale. In the 0-3 polymer nanocomposites, in which nano-inclusions (0-dimension) are embedded in 3-dimensionally connected polymer matrix, enhanced dielectric permittivity could be induced by the interfacial polarization at the interfaces between the nano-inclusions an...

The first ultrafast study of the dimeric fluorescent BF2 dye BOPHY is presented. When compared to a structurally related BODIPY dye, similar photophysical dynamics are observed, including an intermediate kinetic component present in both dye types.

Due to their rapid growth in industrial and environmental applications, there is a need develop self-powered humidity sensor systems with improved sensitivity, wide detection range, an eco-friendly nature. In this study, aqueous solution of chitosan (CS) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was blended yield composite film material enhanced properties. Meanwhile, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)-loaded deve...

Glycolipids are major components of the plasma membrane, interacting with themselves, other lipids, and proteins to form an array of heterogeneous domains with diverse biological properties. Considerable effort has been focused on identifying protein binding partners for glycolipids and the glycan specificity for these interactions, largely achieved through assessing interactions between protei...

In the presence of iodide ions, the cationic p-dimethylaminopyridine adduct of 1,3,5,7,8-pentamethylpyrromethene-boron fluoride [-DMAP](+) reacts with fluoride ions to afford the corresponding brightly fluorescent difluoride -F.

In this work, a mathematical model is established to describe the removal of CO2 from gaseous mixtures including CH4 and CO2 in a polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactor in the presence of conventional absorbents such as monoethanolamine (MEA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), and a blend of them. Modeling was performed in axial and radial directions under the fully-wet condition for counterc...
