Ultra-rapid catalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol with ionic liquid recoverable and reusable ibuprofen derived silver nanoparticles.

This study reports a one-pot and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of spherical ibuprofen derived silver nanoparticles (IBU-AgNPs) in aqueous media using ibuprofen analgesics drug as capping as well as reducing agent. Formation of AgNPs occurred within a few min (less than 5 min) at room temperature without resorting to any harsh conditions and hazardous organic solvents. Synthesized AgNPs were characterized with common analytical techniques.

Highly transparent Au-coated Ag nanowire transparent electrode with reduction in haze.

Ag nanowire transparent electrode has excellent transmittance and sheet resistance, yet its optical haze still needs to be improved in order for it to be suitable for display applications. Ag nanowires are known to have high haze because of the geometry of the nanowire and the high light scattering characteristic of the Ag. In this study, a Au-coated Ag nanowire structure was proposed to reduce the haze, where a thin layer of Au was coated on the surface of the Ag nanowires using a mild [Au(en)2]Cl3 galvanic displacement reaction.

Electrostatic spray deposition of highly transparent silver nanowire electrode on flexible substrate.

In this work, a modified polyol synthesis by adding KBr and by replacing the AgCl with NaCl seed was used to obtain high quality silver nanowires with long aspect ratios with an average length of 13.5 μm in length and 62.5 nm in diameter.

trans-Tetra-kis(4-methyl-pyridine-κN)dioxidorhenium(V) hexa-fluorido-phosphate.

The title compound, [ReO(2)(C(6)H(7)N)(4)]PF(6), contains octa-hedral [ReO(2)(4-Mepy)(4)](+) cations (4-Mepy is 4-methyl-pyridine) and PF(6) (-) anions. Both the cation and the anion reside on special positions, the Re atom on a crystallographic center of inversion and the P atom on a C(2) axis parallel to the b axis. The Re(V) atom in the cation exhibits an octa-hedral coordination geometry with two O atoms in the apical positions and four N atoms of the 4-Mepy ligands in the equatorial plane.
