The gas-phase molecular structure of iso-propyl(-butyl)(trichlorosilyl)phosphine has been determined using a combination of gas electron diffraction and computational methods. The structure presents a conformational challenge that required use of the SARACEN method to combine theoretical observations into the least-squares refinement process, a great advance on the techniques used to solve the structure of the parent trisilyl phosphine. Five conformers were found on the potential-energy surface for iso-propyl(-butyl)(trichlorosilyl)phosphine using the UCONGA program, and following a series of individual structure refinements a combined model with the two most abundant confirmers was evaluated. Key structural parameters () include P-Si [225.5(6) pm], Si-Cl [204.0(1) pm] and P-C [204.0(1) pm], ∠P-C-H 101.5(5)°, ∠C-C-C (iPr) 110.5(5)°, ∠C-C-C (Bu) 109.2(5)° and ∠C-P-C 105.4(5)°.

Mesoporous silica exhibits a diverse range of applications owing to its pore structure and inter-pore correlation. Consequently, quantitative characterization of its mesoscopic structure is extremely crucial to reciprocate its potential applications. In this work, we utilized the chemical and aerosol routes to successfully synthesize granular, porous silica with an average pore size in the range of ∼5-10 nm and different degrees of structural correlation among its pores.

Direct current magnetron sputtering was employed to fabricate In-N dual-doped SnO films, with varying concentrations of N in a mixed sputtering gas of N and argon (Ar). The quantity of -substituted O elements in the SnO lattice was confirmed through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A comprehensive investigation of properties of the In-N dual-doped SnO films was conducted using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, Hall effect measurements, and current-voltage (-) characteristic assessments.

The development of an effective and rapid method for healing the skin is of crucial importance. In this study, we prepared a porous scaffold made of polycaprolactone (PCL) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs), Fe, and Chitosan (Cs) as the scaffold core to cover the skin. Then evaluated antibacterial, biocompatibility, and wound healing properties as well as the expression of genes effective in wound healing.

Environmental Science Program, Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Qatar University, P. O. Box: 2713, Doha, Qatar.

In this study, brown macroalgae Hormophysta triquetra (HT) collected from the Qatari coast is used to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from its aqueous (AQ), chloroform: methanol (MCF), and ethanolic extracts (ET). The NPs are characterized using Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The NPs were evaluated for their antibacterial activities by disc-diffusion method and their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were assessed.
