An Investigation of the Temperature Dependence of a Monomer–Dimer Equilibrium Using UV–Vis and 1H NMR Spectroscopies (2023)
Journal Article

A laboratory experiment in which 1H NMR and UV–vis spectroscopies are applied to probe the temperature dependence of a monomer–dimer equilibrium involving a cyclopentadienone derivative is described and discussed. Details of the data analysis for ext... Read More about An Investigation of the Temperature Dependence of a Monomer–Dimer Equilibrium Using UV–Vis and 1H NMR Spectroscopies.

Physical stability, biocompatibility and potential use of hybrid iron oxide-gold nanoparticles as drug carriers (2013)
Journal Article

Hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) such as iron oxide-gold nanoparticles are currently being exploited for their potential application in image-guided therapies. However, little investigation has been carried out into their physical or chemical stability an...
