Patents by Inventor Aasif HELAL

Aasif HELAL has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10125159
    Abstract: A functionalized magnetic nanoparticle including an organometallic sandwich compound and a magnetic metal oxide. The functionalized magnetic nanoparticle may be reacted with a metal precursor to form a catalyst for various C—C bond forming reactions. The catalyst may be recovered with ease by attracting the catalyst with a magnet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
    Inventors: M. Nasiruzzaman Shaikh, Md. Abdul Aziz, Aasif Helal
  • Patent number: 10106684
    Abstract: Fluorescent Schiff base compounds comprising a xanthene dye based moiety and an alkyl imidazole moiety. Methods of assessing these fluorescent Schiff base compounds as fluorescent probes for metal ions in Cu2+ chemosensing applications, methods of preparing the fluorescent Schiff base compounds and methods of detecting Cu2+ ions with the same are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180217152
    Abstract: Gold nanoparticles functionalized with thiolated, bidentate Schiff base ligands. The Schiff base ligands form a ligand monolayer surrounding and binding to the surface of a gold nanoparticle core through Au—S linkages. The functionalized gold nanoparticle composites have a spherical shape, an average diameter of 7-15 nm and a narrow particle size distribution. Methods of assessing these functionalized gold nanoparticle composites as fluorescent probes in Fe(III) chemosensing applications, methods of preparing the functionalized gold nanoparticle composites and methods of detecting Fe(III) ions with the same are also provided.
    Type: Application
