Metal-based non-enzymatic systems for cholesterol detection: mechanisms, features, and performance.

Metal based catalysts and electrodes are versatile tools known for their redox properties, catalytic efficiency, and stability under various conditions. Despite the absence of significant scientific hurdles, the utilization of these methods in cholesterol detection, particularly in non-enzymatic approaches, has been relatively underexplored. To this end, there is a pressing need to delve deeper into existing metal-based systems used in non-enzymatic cholesterol sensing, with the goal of fostering the development of innovative practical solutions.

Fe and Zn Metal Nanocitrates as Plant Nutrients through Soil Application.

Nanocitrates of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in the form of plant nanonutrients were examined for their behavior in soil and the uptake of these by 20-day old groundnut () seedlings under greenhouse conditions. The Fe (0.04 to 0.

7,7-bis(N, N-diethylethylenediamino)-8,8-dicyanoquinodimethane: Effect of Ethyl Moiety on the Photophysical Property besides Thermal Stability.

Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) on reaction with primary/secondary amines sequels in mono/di-substituted TCNQ adducts known as diaminodicyanoquinodimethanes (DADQ's) possessing astounding optical or non-linear optical characteristics. Crucially, the subtle choice of amine contributes to the outcome of molecular material aspects. Herein, we present a comprehensive investigation of 7,7-bis(N,N-diethylethylenediamino)-8,8-dicyanoquinodimethane (BDEDDQ); manifesting the impact of ethyl group (existing on the di-substituted nitrogen of N,N-diethylethylenediamine (DEED)); on the crystal structure, optical property and thermal stability.
