Metal phthalocyanines are one of the most promising candidates to be used in the fabrication of such devices. Among various phthalocyanines, Iron Hexadecachloro Phthalocyanine (Cl16FePc) has received less attention. Basic characteristics of Cl16FePc are not reported in literature. Hexadecacholoro phthalocyanines have attracted interest as possible n-type organic semiconductor with high electron mobility and good stability characteristics. In the present work we investigate the optical band gap of the Cl16FePc thin films from the optical absorption spectrum as a function of air annealing temperatures and their suitability for the fabrication of molecular electronic devices. Some optical properties of the samples were studied as a function of γ-radiation doses also. Optical transition is found to be of direct type and optical band gaps are determined by analyzing the absorption spectrum. Vacuum sublimed thin films of Iron hexadecachloro phthalocyanine were prepared at room temperature onto glass substrates at a base pressure of 10-5 Torr on precleaned glass substrates using Hind Hivac 12A4 coating plant. The optical energy band gap Eg were calculated. The mechanism of optical absorption follow the rule of direct transition. In the present paper we also report refractive index, real and imaginary parts of optical dielectric constant etc. from the reflectance measurements.

To determinate the mineral elements contents in millet,maise,oat,buckwheat,sorghum and purple rice, microwave digestion procedure optimized was applied for digesting six coarse grains. Nineteen mineral element concentrations were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Results displayed the limits of detection (LODs) and the limits of quantification (LOQs) range from 0.0047 to 0.1250 μg/mL and 0.0155 to 0.4125 μg/mL. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) range from 0.83% to 5.03%, which showed that this proposed method was accurate and precise to detect mineral elements in coarse grains simultaneously. Correlation coefficients (r) were calculated in the range of 0.999096-0.999989. The sufficient dada obtained described that the coarse grains selected were abundant in mineral element contents in the human body on daily diet. The success of combining the microwave digestion technology with the ICP-AES was a simple and precise method to determine many mineral elements in coarse grains simultaneously.

Activated carbon monoliths disc and honeycomb type were prepared by chemical activation of coconut shell with zinc chloride at different concentrations, without using a binder. The structures were characterized by N2 adsorption at 77 K and immersion calorimetry into benzene. The experimental results showed that the activation with zinc chloride produces a wide microporous development, with micropore volume between 0,38 and 0,79 cm3g-1, apparent BET surface area between 725 and 1523 m2g-1 and immersion enthalpy between 73,5 and 164,2 Jg-1. We compared the experimental enthalpy with calculated enthalpy by equation Stoeckli-Kraehenbuehl finding a data dispersion from which can infer that the structures are not purely microporous; this fact is ratified with similar behavior that the evidence t the product EoWo.

The present manuscript describes the development and validation of an isocratic reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of Atorvastatin calcium and Fenofibrate in raw material and tablet. Atorvastatin Calcium, Fenofibrate and Diclofenac (internal standard) were well separated using a reversed phase column and mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile:KH2PO4 (50 mM) (72:28 v/v) (pH 4.1). The mobile phase was pumped at 1.0 mL/min flow rate and atorvastatin calcium and fenofibrate were detected by UV-Vis detection at 260 nm. The retention time for atorvastatin calcium, Internal Standard and fenofibrate were 4.34, 5.35 and 12.05 min, respectively. The LOD and LOQ was found to be 1.95 and 4.80 µg/mL for atorvastatin calcium whereas for fenofibrate it was found to be 1.73 and 3.98 µg/mL in mobile phase. The developed method was validated by applying parameters as precision, accuracy, selectivity, reproducibility and system suitability tests.

A series of elongated Schiff base esters containing three aromatic rings with hexadecanoyl chain as one of the terminal group and various R substituents (R = CN, OH, SH, and NO2) at the other end of molecule were prepared, and their structures were confirmed via physical measurement. The thermotropic properties of these compounds were investigated via differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. The thermal data indicate that all of these compounds exhibit mesomorphic properties. Whilst compounds with R = OH, SH and NO2 show nematic phases, compound containing cyano substituent are smectogenic in nature.
