Building a second-opinion tool for classical polygraph.

Classical polygraph screenings are routinely used by critical businesses such as banking, law enforcement agencies, and federal governments. A major concern of scientific communities is that screenings are prone to errors. However, screening errors are not only due to the method, but also due to human (polygraph examiner) error.

Novel D-A-π-A1 Type Organic Sensitizers from 4,7-Dibromobenzo[][1,2,3]thiadiazole and Indoline Donors for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

Two novel D-A-π-A1 metal-free organic dyes of the series containing benzo[][1,2,3]thiadiazole (isoBT) internal acceptor, indoline donors fused with cyclopentane or cyclohexane rings (D), a thiophene as a π-spacer, and a cyanoacrylate as an anchor part were synthesized. Monoarylation of 4,7-dibromobenzo[][1,2,3]thiadiazole by Suzuki-Miyamura cross-coupling reaction showed that in the case of indoline and carbazole donors, the reaction was non-selective, i.e.

ROS-generation and cellular uptake behavior of amino-silica nanoparticles arisen from their uploading by both iron-oxides and hexamolybdenum clusters.

The present work introduces combination of superparamagnetic iron oxides (SPIONs) and hexamolybdenum cluster ([{MoI}I]) units within amino-decorated silica nanoparticles (SNs) as promising design of the hybrid SNs as efficient cellular contrast and therapeutic agents. The heating generated by SNs doped with SPIONs (FeO@SNs) under alternating magnetic field is characterized by high specific absorption rate (SAR = 446 W/g). The cluster units deposition onto both FeO@SNs and "empty" silica nanoparticles (SNs) results in FeO@SNs[{MoI}I] and SNs[{MoI}I] with red cluster-centered luminescence and ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the irradiation.

Interfacial uploading of luminescent hexamolybdenum cluster units onto amino-decorated silica nanoparticles as new design of nanomaterial for cellular imaging and photodynamic therapy.

The present work introduces a facile synthetic route to embed phosphorescent K[{MoI}I] and (nBuN)[{MoI}(CHCOO)] clusters (C) onto silica-water interface of amino-decorated silica nanoparticles (SNs, 60 ± 6 nm). The assembled C-SNs gain in the luminescence intensity, which remains stable within three months after their assembly. High uptake capacity of the clusters (8700 of K[{MoI}I] and 6500 of (nBuN)[{MoI}(CHCOO)] per the each nanoparticle) derives from ionic self-assembly and coordination bonds between the cluster complexes and ionic (amino- and siloxy-) groups at the silica surface.

Fused 1,2,3-Thiaselenazoles Synthesized from 1,2,3-Dithiazoles through Selective Chalcogen Exchange.

A new approach to the synthesis of fused 1,2,3-thiaselenazoles-rare five-membered heterocycles that contain two different chalcogens-from the corresponding 1,2,3-dithiazoles and SeO was accomplished by selective exchange of S and Se atoms. The fused carbo- and heterocyclic units were indene, naphthalenone, cyclohexadienone, cyclopentadiene, benzoannulene, and benzoxazine. The molecular structures of two of the thiaselenadiazole products and one of the dithiazole precursors were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

First tellurium-containing phthalocyanine analogues: strong effect of tellurium on spectral, redox and conductivity properties of porphyrazines with annulated chalcogenodiazole ring(s).

The first tellurium-containing phthalocyanine analogues have been prepared and spectroscopically characterised: the Mg(II) complex of tetra(1,2,5-telluradiazolo)porphyrazine and a low-symmetry tert-butyl substituted Mg(II) tribenzoporphyrazine with one fused 1,2,5-telluradiazole ring. It was observed that the introduction of Te atom(s) reduces the energy of the Q-transition, facilitates the reduction of the macrocycle and strongly increases the conductivity of thin films.
