500 mV versus corrosion potential at a scan rate of 1 mV s-1. The Stock solutions of the Schiff base and its complexes were made in 10:1 ratio of water: DMF mixture by volume to ensure solubility. The optical microscope images were taken to establish the interaction of inhibitors with ...
No precipitation or turbidity was observed after dilution of the stock solution of 2MeObpy-Zn with an aqueous solution (wherein the concentration of DMSO was always 1% v/v). Figure S2 inset (in supplementary material) reveals the changes in the UV–Vis spectrum of 2thMeeOtbimpye-Zconudr...
A stock solution of 10 mM in the proper solvents was prepared; as for the final concentration (10 µM), successive dilution of the stock solution with culture medium was made. 3.6.2. Cell Culture The breast cancer cell lines were cultured as follow: MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line...
Stock solutions of cadmium and zinc ions (1000 mg/L) were prepared by dissolving an appropriate amount of Cd (NO3)2·4H2O and ZnCl2·6H2O (Panreac, Barcelona, Spain) in doubly distilled water (DDW) then acidified by 2 mL HNO3 or HCl, respectively. Working solutions of Cd (II) and Zn...
Phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was prepared by mixing stock standard solution of NaCl, KCl, Na2HPO4 and KH2PO4. All other chemicals were of analytical reagent grade. Aqueous solutions were prepared with ultrapure water at room temperature. 2.2. Synthesis of Zn NPs Zn NPs was synthetized with ...
