Few issues in late-nineteenth-century Armenian/Turkish history straddle so many of the “questions” of the period as does the mass conversion of Armenians in the 1890s. The topic is enmeshed in the much-contested “Armenian ...

The nineteenth century, a time when world history seemed to accelerate, was the epoch of the Risorgimento and the Unification of Germany. It was also an epoch which saw the last efforts of dynastic ancien régime empires ...

The prototypical [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy=2,2′-bipyridine) photosensitizer has been previously demonstrated to be labile in aqueous photocatalytic solutions, especially in the presence of coordinating electron donors. Here, an ...

Two water-soluble anionic cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes, Ir(ppy)2BPS [1] and Ir(F-mppy)2BPS [2] have been synthesized and display clear evidence of self-assembly in water. Concentration-induced aggregation enhances the ...

A photochemically dissociating ligand in Ru(bpy)2(dmphen)Cl2 [bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline] was found to be more cytotoxic on the ML-2 Acute Myeloid Leukemia cell line than Ru(bpy)2(H2O)22+ ...

The present study investigates the photocatalytic activity of ZnSe/CdS core/shell semiconductor nanocrystals. These nanoparticles exhibit a spatial separation of photoinduced charges between the core and the shell domains, ...

Hot-injection synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) in a substrate-bound form is demonstrated. We show that polycrystalline films submerged into hot organic solvents can nucleate the heteroepitaxial growth of semiconductor ...
