Fullerenes, the highly symmetric molecular carbon clusters, have been in the limelight of scientific research since their discovery by Kroto and coworkers [1]. The focus of experimental and theoretical studies has centered ...

Diffusion in bulk has been well studied and our understanding may be said to be adequate if not complete. Similarly, surface diffusion has been investigated by a number of workers and a fair understanding of it has emerged. ...

We have described herein a convenient one-pot synthesis of lisulfides/diselenides from a-amino acids mediated by ammonium etrathiomolybdate in water. (Figure 1) (Figure) Figure 1 Transformation of α-amino acids ...

The most commonly employed solid-state reaction method for the synthesis of YBa?Cu?O??? ceramic has been improved upon. The shift in the incongruent melting of YBa?Cu?O??? to a higher temperature in an oxygen atmosphere ...

Recent years have witnessed a great deal of interest in the design and synthesis of small molecules, which can mimic complex carbohydrates of vital importance in various life processes. Carbasugars constitute one such class ...
