General description

Methyl viologen dichloride hydrate is a well-known electron acceptor since it is having similar reduction potential value compared to the conduction band (−0.44 V) of TiO2.

Application

Methyl viologen dichloride hydrate can be used as an electron transfer agent, which provides insights into the dynamics of the excited state of quantum dot materials.

It can also be used as a mediator in the synthesis of ultrasmall bimetallic PdAg nanocatalysts.

The canonical Wnt pathway is critical for both the development and adulthood survival and homeostatic maintenance of the midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Expanding evidence has demonstrated that genetic factors associated with familial Parkinson disease (PD) deregulate this important pathway, suggesting

Light-Emitting Polymers

Graphene has emerged as the new wonder material. Being only one atom thick and composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice structure, the interest in this material has exploded exponentially since 2004 when it was first isolated and identified using a very simple method.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
