Ce[N(SiMe)](THF)-Catalyzed Hydroboration of CO, Esters and Epoxides with Pinacolborane: Selective Synthesis of Methanol in Multigram Scale.

In this work, we have reduced CO with HBpin to afford borylated methanol product selectively in ~99 % yield using Ce[N(SiMe)](THF) as a catalyst. This led to multigram scale isolation of methanol obtained from CO reduction via the hydrolysis of borylated methanol, this establishes the potential of Ce[N(SiMe)](THF) as an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the bulk scale methanol synthesis. A practical application of this catalytic system was also shown by reducing CO-containing motorbike exhaust efficiently and selectively.

N-Heterocyclic Silylene-Cu(I) Complexes as Efficient Catalysts for Three-Component Coupling Reactions.

We have explored NHSi-supported copper(I) complexes as active and highly efficient catalysts for A (aldehyde-alkyne-amine) and KA (ketone-alkyne-amine) three-component coupling reactions to synthesize propargyl amines in excellent yields with high TOF under solvent-and additive-free conditions.

Comparing fetal phantoms with surrogate organs in female phantoms during CT exposure of pregnant patients.

With the rising use of Computed Tomography (CT) in diagnostic radiology, there are concerns regarding radiation exposure to sensitive groups, including pregnant patients. Accurately determining the radiation dose to the fetus during CT scans is essential to balance diagnostic efficacy with patient safety. This study assessed the accuracy of using the female uterus as a surrogate for fetal radiation dose during CT imaging.

Label-free impedimetric detection of Listeria monocytogenes based on poly-5-carboxy indole modified ssDNA probe.

Listeria monocytogenes is a life threatening pathogenic bacteria concerned with human health. The accurate and rapid detection of L. monocytogenes is required for preventing of listeriosis.
