Concepts have been developed which favor low-energy absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region. These include metal-metal charge transfer (inter-valence charge transfer) transitions of mixed-valent species, radical ion compounds (anions, cations), and mixtures thereof. Recent examples from ruthenium coordination chemistry are presented in order t...

AbstractIn this article, structural and magnetic properties of a number of A2MMnO6 (A = La, Eu and Y; M = Mg, Co, Ni) type perovskites prepared under different oxygen partial pressure are compared. The results indicated that both structure and magnetic properties of such materials are sensitive to preparation conditions, which in general is governe...

AbstractAcridone (acceptor) and naphthylamine (donor) based Donor-Acceptor-Donor (D-A-D) compound (1) was synthesised, characterised and its thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties were studied in detail. Compound 1 is fluorescent and emits in the green region (550 nm). The energy gap between the ground and the lowest excited sin...

AbstractHighly crystalline, phase pure Cu3P nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully synthesized using ionic liquid-assisted solvothermal method at relatively low temperature (200 °C). Herein, ionic liquids (ILs) are used as a structure directing/templating agent. Effect of ILs and precursor concentration on crystal phase, crystallite size, lattic...

AbstractAmong various fabrication techniques to produce a porous scaffold, thermally-induced phase separation at controlled cryogenic condition leads to the formation of a porous polymeric cryostructure alias cryogel or cryomatrix. Cryostructurization is one of the simple and versatile methods of synthesizing a highly porous and interconnected arch...

AbstractMicroneedle-based drug delivery has attracted researchers’ attention over the last decade. The material of construction of microneedles has emerged as a critical factor influencing clinical usage, manufacture, drug loading and drug stability. Initially, microneedles were fabricated using glass, silicon and metals. The development of sophist...

AbstractAMO4 ternary oxides are materials of fundamental and technological importance exhibiting a large variety of functional properties. Members of this family of compounds have multiple potential applications; for instance, as scintillators, thermophosphors, photocatalysts, and cathodoluminescence materials. Studies under high-pressure condition...

AbstractDrug delivery is a broad field which deals with the delivery of pharmaceutical compounds to the desired site with an aim to achieve maximum therapeutic effect and minimum toxicity in treating a diseased condition. To achieve the goal, a carrier system is required for controlled and sustained drug release. Polymers are an all-time favourite ...

AbstractIn the near future there would be a need for a high field MRI contrast agent for the MRI diagnostic due to the several disadvantages of Gd-based complexes, such as short circulation time and decrease in efficiency at high magnetic field i.e., greater than 3 T. The lanthanide-based nanoparticle can be an alternative to these complexes due to...
