Two new series of unsymmetrically -functionalized porphyrins, MTPP(NO)MA (), (MA = methyl acrylate) and MTPP(NO)MB () (MB = mono-benzo) (where M = 2H, Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)), were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The saddle shape conformation of ZnTPP(NO)MAPy and ZnTPP(NO)MB was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation revealed that NiTPP(NO)MB has a severe nonplanar geometry possessing a high magnitude of ΔC = ±0.727 Å and Δ24 = ±0.422 Å values among all other porphyrins. Synthesized -substituted porphyrins exhibited red-shifted B- and Q-bands corresponding to their parent molecule due to the electron-withdrawing peripheral substituents. Notable redshift (Δλ = 50-60 nm) in electronic spectral features and with weak-intensity emission spectral features were observed for the free-base porphyrins and Zn(II) complexes compared to HTPP and ZnTPP, respectively. The first-ring reduction potential of MTPP(NO)MA () exhibited 0.21-0.5 V anodic shift, whereas 0.18-0.23 V anodic shift was observed in the first-ring oxidation potential compared to the corresponding MTPPs due to the presence of electron-withdrawing -substituents at the periphery of the macrocycle. Interestingly, NiTPP(NO)MA () has shown an additional Ni/Ni oxidation potential observed at 2.05 V along with two ring-centered oxidations. The first-ring reduction and oxidation potentials of MTPP(NO)MB () have shown 0.39-0.46 and 0.19-0.27 V anodic shifts with respect to their corresponding MTPPs. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of all of the porphyrins were investigated, and the extracted nonlinear optical parameters revealed intense reverse-saturable absorption (RSA) behavior and the self-focusing behavior with positive nonlinear refractive index in the range of (0.19-1.75) × 10 m/W. Zn(II) complexes exhibited the highest two-photon absorption coefficient () and cross section (σ) of ∼95 × 10 m/W and 19.66 × 10 GM, respectively, among all of the metal complexes.

Vanadium dioxide (VO) is a phase transition material that undergoes semiconductor-to-metal transition at the temperature of about 68 °C. This extraordinary feature triggered intensive research focused on the controlled synthesis of VO. In this study, we introduce and investigate an original linker- and solvent-free strategy enabling the production of highly porous VO nanoparticle-based films.

In this study, we used desert soil from Gansu, China, as a sample to propose a method for designing hyperspectral stealth coatings against desert soil backgrounds within the spectral range of 400-2500 nm, and the corresponding coating was prepared. Firstly, the correlation between the composition and typical spectral detected characteristics of the desert soil was systematically analyzed. It was found that the color and the spectrum of the desert soil in the range of 400-1000 nm were influenced by different types of iron oxides.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by impaired inhibitory circuitry and GABAergic dysfunction, which is associated with reduced fast brain oscillations in the gamma band (γ, 30-90 Hz) in several animal models. Investigating such activity in human patients could lead to the identification of novel biomarkers of diagnostic and prognostic value. The current study aimed to test a multimodal "Perturbation-based" transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation-Electroencephalography (tACS)-EEG protocol to detect how responses to tACS in AD patients correlate with patients' clinical phenotype.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is gaining popularity in cancer detection studies because it offers a non-invasive and rapid approach. Label-free SERS detection techniques often needs machine learning, which depends on adequate data for training. The scarcity of blood serum samples from cancer patients, due to challenges in collection linked to confidentiality concerns and other restrictions, can result in model overfitting and poor generalization ability.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide, and its early diagnosis is critical for improving patient survival rates. However, the extraction of key information from complex medical images and the attainment of high-precision classification present a significant challenge. In the field of signal processing, texture-rich images typically exhibit periodic patterns and structures, which are manifested as significant energy concentrations at specific frequencies in the frequency domain.
