The structure of cellulose fibre is discussed in relation to the relevance of the ligand–
receptor concept for dye–fibre binding. An outline of qualitative SAR (structure–activity …

Malachite green is an N-methylated diaminophenylmethane dye that has generated much
concern over its suggestive carcinogenic nature. After its excessive use in aquaculture …

Dyes have been applied and are playing an increasingly important role in many industries,
including the textile, printing, medical and energy industries. Their wide applications imply …

The aim of this paper is to provide a summary of recent developments in the design and
synthesis of organic colorants and to use that information to anticipate future directions in …

The adsorption of Congo red and tinopal CBS dyes on cellulose fibers was investigated
using electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. Hydrogen bonds appear to be …

Textile dyeing has economical and ecological implications. Our application of QSAR
techniques to dye–cellulose binding is based on the hypothesis of specific dye–fibre …

Single correlation and multiple linear regression analyses have been applied to understand
the bioelimination of 103 anionic, water-soluble dyes by a biomass at a wastewater …

Shape analysis is a powerful tool in chemistry and drug design, and molecular surface
defines shape in the molecular scale. In the current publication we presented a novel …

Despite recent investigations aimed at modeling 3D QSAR for dye molecules a controversy
still exists: can a pharamacophore hypothesis be used for such purposes. In the present …

Twenty-seven disperse azo dyes were analyzed using Quantitative Structure-Activity
Relationship (QSAR) methods by correlating variations in the chemical structure with—Δμ° …
