Effect of surfactants on the morphology of FeSe films fabricated from a single source precursor by aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition

Bis(selenobenzoato)dibutyltin(iv) as a single source precursor for the synthesis of SnSe nanosheets and their photo-electrochemical study for water splitting

A new organo tin complex has been synthesized and used as a single source precursor for the synthesis of tin selenide nanosheets and deposition of thin films.

Structural investigations of SnS1−xSexsolid solution synthesized from chalcogeno-carboxylate complexes of organo-tin by colloidal and solvent-less routes

Tin chalcogenides are important semiconducting materials due to their non-toxic nature, cost effectiveness and layered structure.

Synthesis of chalcopyrite-type and thiospinel minerals/materials by low temperature melts of xanthates

Xanthate complexes are used in the low temperature atom efficient synthesis of some geological and technologically important ternary compounds.

Ferrocene incorporated selenoureas as anticancer agents

For a compound to be a best chemopreventive agent it should be a descent DNA binder and at the same time should be active against any of the three stages of carcinogenesis i.e. cancer initiation, cancer propagation and tumor growth. Most of the problems associated with chemotherapy can be overcome if the chemopreventive agent is active against all the three stages of cancer development. Cancer may be initiated by higher concentration of free radicals, inflammating agents and phase I enzymes (Cytochrome P450) in the body. Cancer propagation can be very efficiently controlled by inducing the phase II enzymes (glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), UDP-glucuronosyl transferases, and quinone reductases) in the body and cancer termination depends on the killing of the faulty cells i.e. cytotoxic actions. This article reports comprehensively the comparative DNA binding studies (with, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis spectroscopy and viscometry), antioxidant activities (DPPH scavenging), anti-inflammatory activities (nitrite inhibition), phase I enzyme inhibition activities (aromatase inhibition), phase II enzyme induction studies (quinone reductase induction) and cytotoxic studies against neuroblastoma (MYCN2 and SK-N-SH), liver cancer (Hepa 1c1c7) and breast cancer (MCF-7) of seventeen ferrocene incorporated selenoureas.
