We present Au@Fe3O4 nanoparticles obtained from Fe nanoparticles and HAuCl4 using a simple solvothermal method. Trisodium citrate (C6H5Na3O7*2H2O) served as a reducing agent for Au. X-ray diffraction analysis, electronic microscopes and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed cubic structure, elemental composition (Au, Fe and O) and spherical shape of nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity of the sample was tested against E. coli bacteria and obtained results were discussed.

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) hexagonal nanosheet crystals with uniform size were successfully prepared via a solvothermal method at 160°C for 22 h using bismuth trichloride(BiCl3) and selenium powder(Se) as raw materials, sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3) as a reducing agent, diethylene glycol(DEG) as solvent, and ammonia as pH regulator. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the obtained products. Results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals. A possible growth mechanism for Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals is also discussed based on the experiment.

Nanocrystalline CuInSe2 (CIS) powders were synthesized with a simple open-air solvothermal method as well as under conditions of applying internal imposed pressure. No post-treating processes such as annealing or selenization were used in both methods. The synthesis processes involved the reaction of precursors in an autoclave for different process times. Structural, morphological, and opto-electronic properties of CIS powders were compared. X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) confirmed the formation of chalcopyrite structure of CIS powders in both approaches at reaction temperature of 220 °C and for short process time. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results show that while CIS powders synthesized under the atmospheric condition are mostly agglomerated, particles have more specific shapes in samples synthesized under internal imposed pressure. Furthermore, the band gap energies of synthesized CIS powders were obtained using diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy (DRS) measurements.

Facile procedures to synthesize large quantities of uniform and well dispersed magnetite particles in water were developed through a solvothermal method. Magnetite microspheres were obtained by using FeCl 3 · 6H 2 O , urea and polyethylene glycol as the starting materials in ethylene glycol at 200°C for 8 h. The samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. Experimental results revealed that the particles were well dispersed with uniform particle size and diameters in the range 260 to 280 nm. The saturation magnetization value was 71.5 emu/g with negligible remanence.

AbstractA coordination polymer {[Mn(BDC-Cl4)(DMF)4](H2BDC-Cl4)}n (1) (H2BDC-Cl4 = 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) was synthesized by a resin-assisted solvothermal method and isolated by a flotation method in carbon tetrachloride. Complex 1 shows a one-dimensional wave-like coordination structure in the solid state. It is readily dissolved in water. The complex has been characterized using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, molecular conductivity, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction techniques.

Zn2SnO4 hierarchical architectures were synthesized via a solvothermal method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the products were composed of a mass of nanoplates. The forming process of Zn2SnO4 hierarchical architectures was discussed and the proposed mechanism was put forward in this work. The photocatalytic activity of Zn2SnO4 structures was evaluated by the degradation of RhB aqueous solution and the results showed that hierarchical architectures had good photocatalytic property.

A solvothermal method has been developed for the synthesis of Cd1-xZnxS (x = 0–1) nanorods from a class of easily obtained, air-stable single-source molecular precursors, cadmium zinc bis(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamates). The phase, morphology, size and optical property of the resultant products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis absorption spectra.

: The main purpose of this work is to study the effectiveness of using FeCeOx nanocomposites doped with Nb2O5 for the purification of aqueous solutions from manganese. X-ray diffraction, energy–dispersive analysis, scanning electron microscopy, vibrational magnetic spectroscopy, and mössbauer spectroscopy were used as research methods. It is shown that an increase in the dopant concentration leads to the transformation of the shape of nanoparticles from spherical to cubic and rhombic, followed by an increase in the size of the nanoparticles. The spherical shape of the nanoparticles is characteristic of a structure consisting of a mixture of two phases of hematite (Fe2O3) and cerium oxide CeO2. The cubic shape of nanoparticles is typical for spinel-type FeNbO4 structures, the phase contribution of which increases with increasing dopant concentration. It is shown that doping leads not only to a decrease in the concentration of manganese in model solutions, but also to an increase in the efficiency of adsorption from 11% to 75%.

The understanding of ribosome structure has advanced considerably in the last several years. Biochemists have characterized the constituent proteins and rRNA's of ribosomes. Complete sequences have been determined for some ribosomal proteins and specific antibodies have been prepared against all E. coli small subunit proteins. In addition, a number of naturally occuring systems of three dimensional ribosome crystals which are suitable for structural studies have been observed in eukaryotes. Although the crystals are, in general, too small for X-ray diffraction, their size is ideal for electron microscopy.

While DNA-dependent RNA polymerase represents one of the key enzymes involved in transcription and ultimately in gene expression in procaryotic and eucaryotic cells, little progress has been made towards elucidation of its 3-D structure at the molecular level over the past few years. This is mainly because to date no 3-D crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis have been obtained with this rather large (MW ~500 kd) multi-subunit (α2ββ'ζ). As an alternative, we have been trying to form ordered arrays of RNA polymerase from E. coli suitable for structural analysis in the electron microscope combined with image processing. Here we report about helical polymers induced from holoenzyme (α2ββ'ζ) at low ionic strength with 5-7 mM MnCl2 (see Fig. 1a). The presence of the ζ-subunit (MW 86 kd) is required to form these polymers, since the core enzyme (α2ββ') does fail to assemble into such structures under these conditions.

This paper presents the obtaining of copper sulfide CuS (covelite) from Cu(CH3COO)2.H2O and thioacetamide (TAA) system. The reaction was conducted in presence or absence of sodium-bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (Na-AOT). The effects of various reaction parameters on the size and on the shape of nanoparticles have been examined. CuS obtained was characterized by X ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, TEM � transmission electron microscopy and SAED selected area electron diffraction. The influence of surfactant to the shape and size of CuS (covellite) nanocrystals was established. The size of the nanocrystals varied from 10-60 nm depending on the reaction conditions such as quantity of surfactant.
