Biogenic metallic nanoparticles (NPs) produced from garlic and ginger have a wide range of applications in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and electronics industries. Despite many commercial NPs reported, NPs made from natural extracts are more affordable, straightforward and environmentally friendly than synthetic approaches. Biogenic metallic NPs derived from garlic and ginger have superior biocompatibility, Read More

A variety of biomolecules known as enzymes are found in honey and originated from bees and plant nectars. The plant yields nectar that aids bees in producing honey. Diastases, invertases, glucosidases, glucose oxidases and proteases are the common enzymes present in honey and highly sensitive toward UV-vis light, heat, and microwave energy. Among all enzymes, invertase and diastase have been used for assessing the Read More

Organic transformations under suitable environment-friendly conditions have a great impact on the Green Chemistry area. In this context, heteropoly compounds (HPCs) have received considerable attention due to their ability to act as solid catalysts, with the advantage of being used and reused for different organic transformations without appreciable loss of their catalytic activity. In this review article, we report the r Read More

The site-selective diversification of molecules is a pertinent unresolved issue within the area of organic chemistry. The functionalization of Csp3-H has changed the landscape of synthetic chemistry by enabling effective direct coupling of compounds and reducing chemical waste by avoiding the usage of pre-functionalized compounds. The 1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ), a molecule with potential bioactivity, has a stereosel Read More

Hybrid molecules based on fullerene С60 and strained polycyclic hydrocarbons were synthesized for the first time using the Bingel-Hirsch reaction. The films of fullerene derivatives were deposited by centrifugation. The synthesized hybrid fullerene С60 derivatives containing one strained polycyclic hydrocarbon moiety showed better charge carrier mobility than the fullerene derivatives containing two polycyclic hydrocarbo Read More
