- Copper complexes have been frequently involved in many Cu-mediated carbon-hydrogen halogenation reactions. We fortunately obtained three different valence benzoxazolyl-copper complexes, along with aryl carbon-hydrogen bromination, in the self-assembly reaction of ligands with CuBr2. The complexes ha

- A novel Phytophthora species was frequently recovered from irrigation reservoirs at several ornamental plant production facilities in eastern Virginia. Initial sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of this species generated unreadable sequences due to continual polymorphic posit

- A facile low-temperature hydrothermal process to synthesize α-Fe/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite is reported. TEM and HRTEM revealed that the α-Fe/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite was composed of catenulate α-Fe and lamellar structured Fe(3)O(4). The weight ratio of α-Fe in the α-Fe/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite is 3
