The design of an LED rapid-injection NMR (LED-RI-NMR) apparatus is described and showcased in kinetic studies for three photochemical reactions. The simple design of the LED- RI-NMR system allows for the introduction of both light and reagents into NMR samples for in situ reaction monitoring of reactive intermediates. The distinguishing features of...
Small organic molecules absorbing and emitting in the shortwave infrared (SWIR, 1000–2000 nm) region are desirable for biological imaging applications due to low auto‐fluorescence, reduce photon scattering, and good tissue penetration depth of photons which allows for in vivo imaging with high resolution and sensitivity. Si‐substituted xanthene‐bas...
Strong molecular photooxidants are important in many disciplines including organic synthesis and renewable energy. In these fields, strongly oxidizing chromophores are employed to drive various transformations from challenging bond formations to energy storage systems. A range of photooxidant strengths are needed to drive these processes. A series...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) can provide a clean energy solution to growing energy demands. In order to have devices of high performance, sensitizers that are able to absorb in the near-infrared region (NIR) are needed. Stronger electron donors are needed for intramolecular charge-transfer sensitizers to access longer wavelength photons. Thus,...
Since the first report of a Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC), I 3 ⁻ /I ⁻ has been as staple redox mediator because of its efficient 2e ⁻ redox cycle. However, tuning this mediator is challenging given its atomic nature. Here we present the combination of a multielectron redox cycle with a tunable transition metal complex as an alternative redox me...
Here, we demonstrate the applicability of self-assembling linear-dendritic block copolymers (LDBCs) and their nanoaggregates possessing varied surfaces as therapeutic nanocarriers. These LDBCs are comprised of a hydrophobic, linear polyester chemically coupled to a hydrophilic dendron polyamidoamine (PAMAM)—the latter of which acts as the surface o...
The present investigation deals with antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel. Various extracts of pomegranate peel were prepared by Soxhlet extraction method using hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and methanol as solvent. Methanol extract was subjected to column chromatography to isolate 5-hydroxymethyl...

The study aimed to chemically characterize various extracts of pomegranate fruit peels and to evaluate their antioxidant activity. The various extracts were prepared by Soxhlet extraction method using hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and methanol as solvent. GC-MS analysis of the methanolic extract showed the presence 5-hydroxymethylfurfural...
