Synthesis of Cuboctahedral CeO2 Nanoclusters and Their Assembly into Cuboid Nanoparticles by Oriented Attachment
(2017)
Here, we describe a simple approach to control the oriented attachment process through selective ligand scavenging from the {100} facets of CeO2 nanoclusters. Aggregates of these nanoclusters smaller than 10 nm with ...
Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Molybdenum Sulphide Clusters
(Wiley, 2017-03-20)
Herein, we describe an atom efficient and general protocol for the chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines catalyzed by well-defined diimino and diamino cubane-type Mo3S4 clusters. The novel diimino ...
Peptide-Based Molecular Hydrogels as Supramolecular Protein Mimics
(Wiley, 2017-01-23)
This Minireview concerns recent advances in the design, synthesis, and application of low molecular-weight peptidic hydrogelators. The sequence-specific combinations of amino acid side chain functionalities combined with ...
Transient Catalytic Activity of a Triazole-based Gelator Regulated by Molecular Gel Assembly/Disassembly
(Wiley, 2017-01-23)
An amphiphilic molecular gelator functionalized with a triazole fragment that exhibits a transient self-assembly behavior in the presence of copper is presented. This dynamic dissipative system composed by a triazole-based ...
Directed Two-Photon Absorption in CdSe Nanoplatelets Revealed by k‑Space Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2017)
We show that two-photon absorption (TPA) is
highly anisotropic in CdSe nanoplatelets, thus promoting them
as a new class of directional two-photon absorbers with large
cross sections. Comparing two-dimensional k-space ...
Synthesis and evaluation of α-Ag2WO4 as novel antifungal agent
(Elsevier, 2017-04-16)
Abstract
Because of the need for new antifungal materials with greater potency, microcrystals of α-Ag2WO4, a complex metal oxide, have been synthetized by a simple co-precipitation method, and their antifungal activity ...
Enantiomeric profiling of chiral illicit drugs in a pan-European study
(Elsevier, 2018)
The aim of this paper is to present the first study on spatial and temporal variation in the enantiomeric profile of chiral drugs in eight European cities. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) and enantioselective analysis ...
Evaluation of Uncertainties Associated with the Determination of Community Drug Use through the Measurement of Sewage Drug Biomarkers
(American Chemical Society, 2013)
The aim of this study was to integrally address the uncertainty associated with all the steps used to estimate community drug consumption through the chemical analysis of sewage biomarkers of illicit drugs. Uncertainty has ...
Treatment of wastewater effluents from Bogotá – Colombia by the photo-electro-Fenton process: Elimination of bacteria and pharmaceutical
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this work, the occurrences of bacteria families and relevant pharmaceuticals in municipal wastewater effluents from Bogotá (Colombia), and their treatment by the photo-electro-Fenton process were studied. Twenty-five ...
Linking Electrostatic Effects and Protein Motions in Enzymatic Catalysis. A Theoretical Analysis of Catechol O-Methyltransferase
(American Chemical Society, 2015-08)
The role of protein motions in enzymatic catalysis is the subject of a hot scientific debate. We here propose the use of an explicit solvent coordinate to analyze the impact of environmental motions during the reaction ...
