Magnetic supported ionic liquids are a unique subclass of ionic liquids that possess the ability to respond to external magnetic fields, combining the advantageous properties of traditional ILs with this magnetic responsiveness. A novel magnetic ionic nanocatalyst of FeO@SiO@CPTMS-DTPA was prepared by anchoring an ionic liquid, CPTMS-DTPA, onto the surface of silica-modified FeO. The morphology, chemical structure and magnetic property of the magnetic ionic nanocatalyst structure was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and thermogravimetric analysis.

The successful formation of nano-hybrids was confirmed by FT-IR, UV-Vis, and FE-SEM analyses, showing a uniform spherical ZnO-NPs with an average diameter of 20-30 nm, homogeneously dispersed on NF-CS. The obtained results demonstrated a remarkable antibacterial activity of NF-CS-ZnO-0.

In this study, we synthesized a series of benzylidenepiperidine-3-carbohydrazide derivatives (1f-11f), bearing various selected substituents on both the piperidine ring nitrogen and the hydrazide nitrogen. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, HNMR spectroscopic techniques, CHN/O elemental analysis and electrospray ionization mass spectra.

Introduction: Many studies have evaluated the association of paraoxonase-1 (PON1) gene polymorphisms with enzyme activity and concentration in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the exact impact of these polymorphisms is not still obvious. Hence, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the association of PON1 polymorphisms with its enzyme characteristics in T2DM patients and non-diabetic individuals.

Materials And Methods: Dimedone, aryl aldehydes, and the ionic liquid as the catalyst were reacted under solvent-free conditions. The progressive of the reaction was monitored by a thin layer of chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane = 1/5).
Introduction: Human seminal plasma contains a variety of macro and trace elements including magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) that have essential roles in normal functioning of semen and its quality. The imbalance of these elements has been reported in several pathologic and male infertility disorders. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the levels of these elements in seminal plasma samples, their relationships with each other and their impact on sperm motility.

Altered metabolic status is one of the consequences of sHT which can affect serum levels of FPG, lipid profile, and nitric oxide which propounds cardiovascular consequences per se. The aim of this study was to determine the possible effects of sHT on nitrite/nitrate levels, as a marker of endothelial performance.

Preliminary experiments found that the CL emission was strongly enhanced or inhibited in the presence of the ILs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA reaction of dithiocarbamic acid salts with carbonyl compounds was investigated for the first time in the presence of BF(3)·OEt(2). The reaction is temperature dependent and gives gem-bis(dithiocarbamates) at 35-45 °C as a molecule with high equivalents of dithiocarbamate groups. At lower temperatures (15-20 °C), the 2-iminium-1,3-dithietane is obtained as the only product.
