C-undodecylcalix[4]-resorcinarene (C(11)-resorcinarene)-capped anatase TiO(2) nanoparticles have been synthesized and could be isolated and redispersed in different nonaqueous solvents. The adsorption of C(11)-resorcinarene onto the surface of TiO(2) nanoparticles led the shifting of the onset wavelength of the optical absorption in the visible range along with a broad band centered at 422 nm corresponding to ligand-to-metal charge transfer transition within the surface titanium(IV)-C(11)-resorcinarene complex. The interaction of TiO(2) nanoparticle with C(11)-resorcinarenes was investigated by photoluminescence (PL). Proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) spectroscopy study revealed that the C(11)-resorcenarene molecules adsorbed chemically onto the surfaces of TiO(2) nanoparticles. The average particle diameter of bare anatase TiO(2) and C(11)-resorcinarene-capped TiO(2) was determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and was found to be equal to ca. 5 nm.

Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, with aggressive, treatment-resistant tumors posing significant challenges. Current combination therapies and imaging approaches often fail due to disparate pharmacokinetics and difficulties correlating drug delivery with therapeutic response. In this study, we developed radionuclide-activatable theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) comprising folate receptor-targeted bimetallic organo-nanoparticles (Gd-Ti-FA-TA NPs).

The photocatalytic reduction of CO in water to produce fuels and chemicals is promising while challenging. However, many photocatalysts for accomplishing such challenging task usually suffer from unspecific catalytic active sites and the inefficient charge carrier's separation. Here, a site-specific single-atom Ni/TiO catalyst is reported by in situ topological transformation of Ni-Ti-EG bimetallic metal-organic frameworks.
