Antifungal activity of styrylpyridinium compounds against Candida albicans

We synthesized a set of 13 new and earlier described styrylpyridinium compounds (N-alkyl styrylpyridinium salts with bromide or tosylate anions) in order to evaluate antifungal activity against C.?albicans cells, to assay the possible synergism with fluco

Heparin triggered dose dependent multi-color emission switching in water: a convenient protocol for heparinase I estimation in real-life biological fluids

Oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) based bis-pyridinium derivatives show ‘ratiometric’ detection of heparin in water. For the first time, we present a dose-dependent, multi-color emission switching in the presence of heparin. The reversible self-assembly of probe

Aggregation induced emission switching and electrical properties of chain length dependent π-gels derived from phenylenedivinylene bis-pyridinium salts in alcohol-water mixtures

Supramolecular π-gels were formed in a mixture of aliphatic alcohols and water for a series of chromophoric phenylenedivinylene bis-N-alkyl pyridinium salts (PPV) appended with terminal aliphatic hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. Gelation could be
