The sensitizer is one of the most essential dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) components. In the present research, a Zn-astaxanthin complex was investigated as a sensitizer, compared to pure astaxanthin. The complex with a 1:1 mole ratio between astaxanthin and Zn2+ was synthesized in a reflux reactor at 37–60 °C. The product was analyzed using Proton Nuclear Resonance (1H-NMR), which indicates the presence of chelate formation between Zn2+ with two atoms of oxygen on the terminal cyclohexane ring of astaxanthin. The interaction of sensitizers (astaxanthin and Zn-astaxanthin) on the photoelectrode surface in this study was analyzed using a Fourier Transform Infra-Red …

Development of unique strategies to overcome Shockley-Queisser (SQ) limit in solar cells has gained a great deal of interest. Multiple exciton generation (MEG) process has been considered as one of the best approaches to the SQ limitation. In this respect, PbSe quantum dots (QDs) and nanorods (NRs) have been regarded as promising solar energy harvesting materials owing to their noticeable MEG yields. Although air stability has been regarded as one of the main disadvantage of PbSe QDs, no study has pointed out to the air sensitivity of PbSe NRs yet. Here, we reveal the effect of aspect ratio on air …

Vitamin D2 (vit. D2) is a nutraceutical essentially needed for good health. However, it is susceptible to oxygen and high temperature. The use of natural products such as bioflavonoids possessing anti-degradative effect of vit. D2 degradation has not been described before. A combinational effect of vit. D2 with quercetin showed a positive effect and inhibited vit. D2 degradation when exposed to high temperature (50 oC and 75 oC) at different time points. The results obtained revealed vit. D2 degradation was drastically increased with longer incubation under thermal treatment. However, quercetin and vit. D2 groups were able to significantly inhibit the …

The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate stable cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) as colloidal carriers for gene therapy. SLNs were mainly composed of three different biocompatible and biodegradable matrix lipids called tripalmitin, glyceryl dibehenate, and triglyceride, all containing the cationic lipid $N$-(1-(2,3-dioleoyloxy)propyl)-$N,N,N$-trimethylammonium (DOTAP$^®$). Each of these SLNs were divided into three parts and characterized by applying different processes: Part I was autoclaved (121 $^{\circ}$C, 15 min), Part II was lyophilized (5 mbar, --50 $^{\circ}$C), and Part III was kept in its intact form. These parts were stored at 4 $^{\circ}$C, 25 $^{\circ}$C (room temp.), and 40 …

Determination Of Hydrochlorothiazide And Enalapril Maleate In Tablet Formulations By Reversed-Phase Hplc, Idrees F. Al-Momani̇
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure is presented for the determination of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) and enalapril maleate (EM) in pharmaceutical tablets. An aliquot of the sample is dissolved in 15% acetonitrile (ACN) containing thiophylline as an internal standard and chromatographed on a Supelcosil LC-8 (5 \mu m), (150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.) column. The mobile phase was 3.0 mM tetrabutylammoniumhydrogen sulfate (TBAHS) in ACN/water/triethylamine (TEA), (14, 85.6, 6.4 V/V) adjusted to pH 4.1 by glacial acetic acid. The detection was at 220 nm. The method was tested for linearity, accuracy, recovery, and specificity.

The stability constants of the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 2-benzoylpyridine 4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone were determined using a spectrophotometric method at different temperatures (25, 30, 35 and 40 $\pm$ 0.1^oC) and ionic strengths (0.05, 0.01 and 0.20 M KNO$_3$) in 50 \% (v/v) aqueous ethanol. Plots of thermodynamic stability constants at zero ionic strength ($\ln$ K^o) versus T$^{-1}$ gave linear curves and $\Delta$ H^o and $\Delta$ S^o were also calculated from these plots. Moreover, the changes in free energy for each metal-ligand system were calculated from the following equation. $\Delta$ G^o = -RT $\ln$ K^o.
