In this research, we explore the synthesis of and characterize α-aminophosphonates derived from anthraquinone and benzanthrone, focusing on their fluorescence properties and potential applications in confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The synthesized compounds exhibit notable solvatochromic behavior, emitting fluorescence from green to red across various solvents. Spectroscopic analysis, including H-, C-, and P-NMR, FTIR, and mass spectrometry, confirms the chemical structures.

Currently the most popular tool is the fracture risk assessment model FRAX to calculate the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures (MOF) and hip fractures (HF).
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of low BMD at axial sites and fracture risk in Bulgarian population.
Sustainable agricultural practices are still essential due to soil degradation and crop losses. Recently, the relationship between plants and nanoparticles (NPs) attracted scientists' attention, especially for applications in agricultural production as nanonutrition. Therefore, the present research was carried out to investigate the effect of FeO NPs at low concentrations (0, 1, 10, and 20 mg/L) on three genotypes of barley ( L.
