Tetraiodo-ortho-carborane based X-ray contrast agents can be readily prepared in a high yield, fast, clean, regioselective fashion by a solvent-free reaction of ortho-carboranes with iodine in sealed tubes.

The fluorescence of caged phthalimide-serine couples 2 and 4 is up/down modulated by decarboxylative photorelease with fluorescence decrease (2) vs. moderate fluorescence increase (4) serving as reporter function.

[EN] High-quality devices based on layered heterostructuresare typicallybuilt from materials obtained by complex solid-state physical approachesor laborious mechanical exfoliation and transfer. Meanwhile, wet-chemicallysynthesized ...

[EN] Five new tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives were synthesised and their aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was evaluated in mixtures of THF/water and MeOH/water. The influence of regiochemistry and length of the ...

[EN] The inclusion of squaraine (SQ) dye I into the supercages of zeolite Y (structure code FAU) with a SiO(2)/Al(2)O(3) ratio of 30 (Z30) through a two-step ship-in-the-bottle approach is reported, resulting in the ...

[EN] o-Carborane derivatives with precisely defined patterns of substitution have been prepared from 8,9,10,12-I-4-1,2-closo-C2B10H8 by replacing the iodine atoms, bonded to four adjacent boron vertices in the cluster, ...

[EN] Zr-containing UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 are good heterogeneous catalysts for the acetalization of phenylacetaldehyde with glycerol, producing the corresponding hyacinth fragrance in high yields after short (2 h) reaction ...
