Homalomena pineodora essential oil nanoparticle inhibits diabetic wound pathogens.

Essential oil of Homalomena pineodora inhibits diabetic pathogens; however, the activity was not sustainable when applied as wound dressing. This study aims to synthesise the essential oil nanoparticle using chitosan. The nanoparticles were synthesised with ion gelation method, confirmed by spectroscopic analysis.

Atomically mixed Fe-group nanoalloys: catalyst design for the selective electrooxidation of ethylene glycol to oxalic acid.

We demonstrate electric power generation via the electrooxidation of ethylene glycol (EG) on a series of Fe-group nanoalloy (NA) catalysts in alkaline media. A series of Fe-group binary NA catalysts supported on carbon (FeCo/C, FeNi/C, and CoNi/C) and monometallic analogues (Fe/C, Co/C, and Ni/C) were synthesized. Catalytic activities and product distributions on the prepared Fe-group NA catalysts in the EG electrooxidation were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry, and compared with those of the previously reported FeCoNi/C, which clarified the contributory factors of the metal components for the EG electrooxidation activity, C2 product selectivity, and catalyst durability.

CO2-free power generation on an iron group nanoalloy catalyst via selective oxidation of ethylene glycol to oxalic acid in alkaline media.

An Fe group ternary nanoalloy (NA) catalyst enabled selective electrocatalysis towards CO2-free power generation from highly deliverable ethylene glycol (EG). A solid-solution-type FeCoNi NA catalyst supported on carbon was prepared by a two-step reduction method. High-resolution electron microscopy techniques identified atomic-level mixing of constituent elements in the nanoalloy.

Tris[2-(deuteriomethyl-sulfan-yl)-phen-yl]-phosphine deuteriochloro-form 0.125-solvate.

The title deuterated tripodal phosphine, C(21)H(12)D(9)PS(3)·0.125CDCl(3), crystallizes as two independent mol-ecules, one of which lies on a general position and the other about a threefold rotation axis, and as a deuteriochloro-form solvate. The solvent mol-ecule is disordered about a site of symmetry 3, so that the ratio of phosphine to solvent is 8:1.

(μ-4-Methyl-benzene-thiol-ato-κS:S)bis-[carbon-yl(η-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)molybdenum(II)].

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mo(2)(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(7)H(7)S)(2)(CO)(2)], consists of two half-mol-ecules, each molecule lying on a centre of symmetry. The thiol-ate groups function as bridges between the Mo(II) atoms, which adopt a quasi-octa-hedral geometry. In the octa-hedral environment the two ligating S atoms are in a cis arrangement.
