Abstract:
A tetrakis(dibenzylmethanido) Eu(III) complex as a ultraviolet (UV) excited phosphor was synthesized, and incorporated with mesoporous silica as core-shell (CS), outer-shell (OS) and intermediate-shell (IS) architectures, using a combination of the self-organization process and the Stöber method. Exciting the Eu(III) complex at UV light produced a strong sensitized red-emission from Eu(III) by energy transfer from the ligand. Phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) were fabricated by casting the powdered complex and the incorporated silica nanoparticles onto a 365-nm InGaN chip, and their optical properties and thermal stability were investigated in terms of the chromaticity index and the intensity decay, respectively. The CS silica nanoparticle casted UV-LED exhibited the best perfomence with strong intensity and excellent thermal stability.

Transfer RNA Synthesis
Each of these chemical modifications is carried by a specific enzyme, post-transcription. All of these enzymes have unique base and site-specificity. Methylation, the most common chemical modification, is carried by at least nine different enzymes, with...
Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
