Over 500 visits and Downloads for IASBS alumnus Dr Omid Pourshiyani's paper on Wiley Publications website

In the past nine months, a paper by Dr Omid Pourshiyani's, an alumnus of the IASBS’s PhD programme in Organic Chemistry, along with his collaborators, has garnered over 500 views and downloads on the Wiley-VCH website. The research article published in the prestigious journal ChemCatChem in 2024 has had more than 500 hits and downloads over the past nine months. 

The paper entitled “Perfluoroalkyl/Rose Bengal Functionalized Janus Silica Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic Transformations with Singlet Oxygen” presents an innovative approach by synthesising Janus silica nanoplates functionalised with perfluoroalkyl groups and Rose Bengal.

Janus compounds are nanostructured materials engineered to have two surfaces with completely different physical and chemical properties at the nanoscale. These nanoparticles demonstrate outstanding photocatalytic performance in generating singlet oxygen and facilitating various photochemical reactions, thereby attracting significant attention from researchers due to their innovative approach in important chemical transformations.

This research represents a collaborative effort between Prof Babak Karimi's research group at the IASBS’s Department of Chemistry and Dr Werner Richard Thiel's research group from the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. The Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS) congratulates the scientific community of the country, particularly Dr Pourshiyani, for this achievement.
