TL;DR: In this paper, a novel synthetic route for preparation of amphiphilic heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes of the type [Ru(H 2 dcbpy)Cl(cymene)]NO 3 (1) was proposed for charge transfer photosensitizers in nanocrystalline TiO 2-based solar cells.

TL;DR: The binding of fluorescein sodium salt with three kinds of commercially available bovine serum albumin (BSA) of different grades of purity was investigated at 288, 298 and 313 K by fluorescence and absorption measurements at pH 7.50 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A new series of pyridinium cationic gemini surfactants was prepared by quaternization of the 2,2'-(alpha,omega-alkanediyl)bispyridines with N-alkylating agents with particularly useful use of long-chain alkyl triflates (trifluoromethanesulfonates) for both overcoming the sterical hindrance in the pyridsines and obtaining higher synthetic yields.

TL;DR: A series of surfactant compounds with tuned polarity were prepared, including a new class of compounds: gluco-pyridinium surfactants, and some parameters, mainly the hydrophobicity of the headgroup, may play a role in finding more efficient antimicrobial structures.

TL;DR: In-depth photoelectrochemical investigation demonstrates that DSSCs performance based on hydrogel electrolytes depends on many factors, that must be carefully quantified and correlated in order to optimize these hydrogels.
