Gallic acid (GA) exhibits excellent antioxidant properties but suffers from chemical instability due to its carboxyl group, which limits practical application. To address this, we designed and investigated 14 distinct ester derivatives of GA, which w...

TS-1 zeolite and a series of Zr-modified samples (TS-1/xZr) were synthesized and systematically characterized to investigate the influence of zirconium incorporation on structural, textural, and photocatalytic properties. The structural and textural...

The current study aims to model the potential energy surface (PES) of three much less investigated hydroxyaryl(hetaryl)idene azomethine imine derivatives, possessing the same proton crane unit—namely the azomethine imine moiety—but slight...

The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance emphasizes the urgent need for new and effective natural antimicrobial agents. This study assessed the antibacterial activity of twenty essential oils and one absolute against Escherichia coli and exami...

BO33−, PO43−, and SO42− anionic groups were used to study their effects on the structure and luminescence of Sm3+-doped ZnO. ZnO, ZnO:Sm3+, ZnO, Zn4B6O13:Sm3+, and Zn2P2O7:Sm3+ phosphors were successfully synthesized via combustion...

Herba Hyssopi is a key remedy in Uighur medicine for asthma and cough, frequently used as the monarch or minister herb in prescriptions. However, the lack of effective quality assessment methods complicates the detection of adulteration with common s...

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted remarkable interest in display and lighting. To effectively address triplet exciton harvesting and enhance external quantum efficiency (EQE), delayed fluorescence AIEgens have gained significant pr...

Amino acid derivatives, such as β-keto esters and pyrrolones, were used as nucleophiles in organocatalyzed Michael additions to nitroalkene acceptors, while fatty acid derivatives acted as both nucleophiles (β-keto esters) and electrophiles...

Converting agricultural solid waste into porous biochar for HCHO adsorption is considered as a “two birds with one stone” strategy, which can achieve the environmental goal of “treating waste with waste”. Unfortunately, the HC...

Conventional drug development remains a protracted [...]
