Harnessing titanium dioxide surface toward novel functional materials
(2015)The ever-increasing worldwide energy consumption has led the society to quest for novel and functional materials that can be used in the development of solar fuels to some extent lessen the dependence on fossil fuels. In ... -
Homopropargyl alcohol 1,1-diphenylbut-3-yn-1-ol
(2018)The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H14O, contains one molecule with a central carbon atom having a distorted tetrahedral geometry made of a propargylic fragment, a hydroxy group and two aromatic rings. ... -
Homopropargyl alcohol 5,5-diphenylpent-2-yne-1,5-diol
(2018)In the title compound, C17H16O2, the central carbon atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry [spread of angles = 105.71 (8)–112.75 (9)°] for its bonds to a homopropargylic but-2-yn-1-ol moiety, a hydroxy group and two ... -
Influence of rice field agrochemicals on the ecological status of a tropical stream
(2016-01-15)Many tropical countries contain a high density of protected ecosystems, and these may often be bordered by intensive agricultural systems. We investigated the chemical and ecological status of a stream connecting an area ... -
Light Reflection by Cuticles of Chrysina Jewel Scarabs: Optical Measurements, Morphology Characterization, and Theoretical Modeling
(2016)Cuticles of some Chrysina scarabs are characterized by flat, graded, and twisted structures of nanosized chitin fibrils. As inferred from SEM images, each species has its own spatial period or pitch P which is dependent ... -
Metals in coastal mollusks of Costa Rica
(2015-12)The input of contaminants to coastal ecosystems is a global problem on the rise. Data on metal pollution from tropical sites is often lacking and pilot surveys are urgently needed to provide a general framework to estimate ... -
Microwave assisted synthesis: A Mn/Ni reaction system affording Mn5Ni4, Mn2Ni2 and Mn7 complexes
(2013-11)Following our interest in microwave assisted synthesis in coordination chemistry; we report here the results of the study of a mixed metal Mn/Ni system under common bench-top conditions and using the microwave reactor. ... -
Monomeric Germanium(II) Amides Bearing β-Diketiminato Ligands: Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Thermal Properties
(2014-09)Germanium(II) compounds featuring β-diketiminate-type ligands are attractive for applications as nanoparticle precursors, imaging agents, and components of electronic devices. In this work, we report the synthesis of ... -
Neutral organic redox pairs based on sterically hindered hydroquinone/benzoquinone derivatives for dye-sensitized solar cells
(2018-06)Substituted derivatives of hydroquinone/benzoquinone were studied as organic redox mediators in the electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Thus, di-tert-butylhydroquinone (DTHQ), thymohydroquinone (ThymHQ) and ... -
Optimization of semiochemical-based trapping of Metamasius hemipterus sericeus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1996-08)Response of adults of the West Indian sugarcane weevil,Metamasius hemipterus sericeus, to various semiochemical treatments and physical trap designs was studied in southern Florida in field-grown banana and Canary Island ... -
Organic Acids without a Carboxylic Acid Functional Group
(Journal of Chemical Education 77(7):910-915. July 2000, 2000-07)This paper presents several organic molecules that have been labeled as acids but do not contain a carboxylic acid functional group. The rationale for the nomenclature and appropriate explanations for the apparent acidity ... -
Pheromone chirality of african palm weevil, Rhynchophorus phoenicis (F.) and palmetto weevil, Rhynthophorus crueniatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1994-09)There are four stereoisomers of both 3-methyl-octan-4-ol, the aggregation pheromone of the African palm weevil,Rhynchophorus phoenicis (F.) and 5-methyl-octan-4-ol, the aggregation pheromone of the palmetto weevil,Rhynchophorus ... -
Pheromone chirality of asian palm weevils,Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Oliv.) andR. vulneratus (Panz.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1996-02)Production of 4-methyl-5-nonanol, and 4-methyl-5-nonanone by two sympatric Asian palm weevils,Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Oliv.) andR. vulneratus (Panz.) suggested that enantiospecificity of either compound could impart ... -
Pristine but metal-rich Río Sucio (Dirty River) is dominated by Gallionella and other iron-sulfur oxidizing microbes
(2017-03)Whether the extreme conditions of acidity and heavy metal pollution of streams and rivers originating in pyritic formations are caused primarily by mining activities or by natural activities of metal-oxidizing microbes ...
