Organocalcogenides, in particular, organoselenium compounds, have been widely studied due to their large number of synthetic and biological applications. Among organoselenium compounds, a class of bis-selenide-alkene derivatives has attracted attenti...

Chagas disease, considered by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease, is responsible for the deaths of more than 10,000 people annually. The main drugs used to overcome the disease, Benzonidazole and Nifurtimox, besides being o...

In this work, FeM composites consisting of montmorillonite and variable amounts of Fe3O4 were successfully synthesized via a facile co-precipitation process. They were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scannin...

We established a new visible-light-mediated protocol for the regioselective β-hydroxyselenylation of olefins, employing benzeneseleninic acid as substrate. Regarding a novel approach, the benzeneseleninic acid emerges as an efficient and afforda...

In this work, different biochar-based metal catalysts were tested for mid-temperature (400−600 °C) acetic acid steam reforming. K, Co, Ce, Fe and Ni were chosen as active phases for the production of the studied catalysts. Their performance...

Ecuador is one of the countries in the Latin American region with a high textile production. However, chemical treatment strategies in the Ambato, Tungurahua and Quito areas are inefficient and not systematically applied, and the volumes of dyes and...

Chalcogen–nitrogen chemistry deals with systems in which sulfur, selenium or tellurium is linked to a nitrogen nucleus. This chemical motif is a key component of different functional structures, ranging from inorganic materials and polymers to...

Ceria loaded with noble metals (Cu, Au) is a highly active material for the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction (LT-WGSR), but nevertheless details of the metal support interaction as well as the role of the ceria surface termination and the met...

One of the important features influencing the biological applications of organoselenium compounds is their redox state, which in turn is affected by their interactions with nearby heteroatoms. To modulate the biological action of selenium in such com...

Carbasugars are a wide group of carbohydrate mimetics in which the ring oxygen is replaced by a methylene group. The high importance of these compounds is related to their interesting biological and pharmacological properties which are the matter of...
