Occurrence and fate of illicit drugs and pharmaceuticals in wastewater from two wastewater treatment plants in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2017)
Chemical analysis of raw wastewater in order to assess the presence of biological markers entering a wastewater treatment plant can provide objective information about the health and lifestyle of the population connected ...
Detection of Methyl Orange in Saffron and Other Edibles Using Direct Injection Micellar Liquid Chromatography
(Springer, 2017-01)
A simple, sensitive, rapid and eco friendly micellar
liquid chromatographic method was developed for the detec-
tion of banned color methyl orange in counterfeit saffron and
prepared foodstuffs. Methyl orange ...
Selective reductive amination of aldehydes from nitro compounds catalyzed by molybdenum sulfide clusters
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-07)
Secondary amines are selectively obtained from low value starting
materials using hydrogen and a non-noble metal-based catalyst.
The reductive amination of aldehydes from nitroarenes or nitroalkanes is efficiently catalyzed ...
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 ...
