Phosphide in gallium bismuth: structural, electronic, elastic, and optical properties of GaPBi alloys.

The structural, electronic, elastic, and optical properties of ternary alloys GaPBi as a function of phosphorus concentration were studied using ab initio calculations. We have used the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method-based density functional theory. The potentials have been described by the generalized gradient and modified Becke-Johnson approximations.

Nanonetwork of Coordination Polymer AHMT-Ag for the Effective and Broad Spectrum Detection of 6-Mercaptopurine in Urine and Blood Serum.

Nanocrystalline coordination polymers (NCCPs) have been considered as an incredible electrochemical sensor for the effective detection of biologically dynamic drug 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). In the present report, a significantly stable infinite arrayed coordination polymeric network was self-assembled via metal with efficient organic tecton 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4,-triazole (AHMT) in which silver(I) ions are coordinated by AHMT via hydrazino and exocyclic thiol linkage to form AHMT-Ag NCCP. An efficient and highly sensitive detection of 6-MP is attained owing to eminent electron channeling via polymeric nanocrystallite pores.
