In recent years, organic Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted wide attention because of their excellent and unique properties in electrical, optical, mechanical, and other fields, as well as their potential application in the water treatment field. Metal-composite photocatalysts generally have the problems of electron-hole recombination, which seriously affect their photo-catalytic performance. It was found that the surfac Read More

Among the large variety of nitrogen and oxygen heterocycles, 1,3,4-oxadiazole scaffold has attracted considerable attention owing to its ability to perform an extensive range of pharmacological actions. Therefore, significant efforts of organic chemists have been directed towards the construction of new drug candidates containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole subunits connected to a known pharmaceutical or a potential pharmac Read More

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a category of composite materials synthesized through metal ions and organic ligands. This class of material has a variety of applications, including energy storage, isolation, catalysis, sensing, cancer theranostics, and so on; this rapidly expanding class of frameworks provides advantages. However, MOF uses have not been expanded in chemosensing and neurodegenerative disease photot Read More

The 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to small molecule asymmetric organocatalysis. Quantitative structure−selectivity relationships (QSSR) based on linear free energy relationships are crucial to predicting enantioselectivity in asymmetric catalytic reactions and to gaining insight into the catalytic mechanism. Molecular descriptors describing steric effects and/or electronic effects are described in this review. Subse Read More

In the past few decades, metal nanoparticles have received a great deal of attention from researchers. Particularly, silver nanoparticles have great potential in a wide range of applications such as antimicrobials, drug delivery carriers, sensors, optoelectronics, and attractive gadgets. Designing a systematic and natural or environmentally-friendly method for blending metal nanoparticles could be a principal step within the field of Read More

Harmful microorganisms are widely present in the surrounding environment, causing a large number of infectious diseases in human society and serious negative effects on human life. In order to resist the damage of harmful microorganisms, antimicrobial agents that inhibit the growth of microorganisms came into being. This review aimed to encompass current syntheses and applications of N-halamines antimicrobial age Read More

In view of the crucial importance of the bioactivities of N-acylhydrazone derivatives and their corresponding metal complexes, N-acylhydrazones have recently attracted the attention of researchers in the chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical fields. This review aims to describe Nacylhydrazone complexes involving transition metal ions, such as copper, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, and zinc, and inv Read More
