Radical reactions in water or aqueous media are important for organic synthesis, realizing high-yielding processes under non-toxic and environmentally friendly conditions. This overview includes (i) a general introduction to organic chemistry in wate...
ZSM-5 zeolites with varying aluminum content were subjected to steam treatments of different severities by adjusting the temperature, duration, and water vapor pressure. The steamed samples were characterized using a range of analytical techniques. A...
The synthesis of dimeric products from monoterpene hydrocarbons has been studied for the development of renewable high-density fuel. In this regard, the conversion of α-pinene in turpentine over stannic chloride molten salt hydrates (SnCl4&midd...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant attention for water purification in recent years. In particular, UiO-66 (a member of the UiO-MOF family, developed at the University of Oslo) has emerged as a promising water purificatio...
Citrulline (C6H13N3O3) is an amino acid found in the body as a zwitterion. This means its carboxylic and amine groups can act as Lewis donors to chelate metal cations. In addition, citrulline possesses a terminal ureido group on its aliphatic chain,...
A novel Ag(I) coordination polymer, [Ag2(bipy)(btca)]n, (SCP 1) was synthesized using 4,4′-bipyridyl (bipy) and 1,2,4,5-benzene-tetracarboxylic acid (H4BTC). Characterization by FT-IR, 1H/13C NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirmed...
The {Cu(NO3)(H2O)}(HTae)(4,4′-Bpy) (H2Tae = 1,1,2,2-tetraacetylethane, 4,4′-Bpy = 4,4′-Dipyridyl) 1D coordination polymer has been obtained by slow evaporation. The crystal structure consists of parallel and oblique {Cu(HTae)(4,4′-Bpy)} zig-zag metal...
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline solids whose frameworks are constituted by metal ions/nodes with rigid organic linkers leading to the formation of materials having high surface area and pore volume. One of the unique features o...
Transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into high-value chemicals is a viable strategy for sustainable development of a bio-based economy. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is one of potential platform bio-chemicals for the manufacture of various renew...
In methane combustion, water tolerance of Pd-based catalysts is quite critical for stable performance, because water is produced in situ and a water-containing feed is used under real conditions. Herein, water-tolerant mesoporous silica-alumina (H-MS...
Three new layered mixed metal phosphonates [CoMg(notpH2)(H2O)2]ClO4·nH2O (CoMg·nH2O), [Co2Sr2(notpH2)2(H2O)5](ClO4)2·nH2O (CoSr·nH2O), and [CoBa(notpH2)(H2O)1.5]ClO4 (CoBa) were synthesized by reacting a tripodal metalloli...
As an important inorganic material, zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) has a wide range of applications in the fields of microelectronics, coating, catalysis and energy. Due to its high dielectric constant and thermodynamic stability, ZrO2 can be used as diele...
Three broad spectrum Ag(I) complexes against MDR (multi drug resistance) and ATCC standard bacteria as well as the fungus C. albicans were presented. The three well-known structurally-related Ag(I) complexes, [Ag(pyridine-3-carboxaldhyde)2NO3], 1, [A...
The effect of basic magnesium carbonate (BMC), magnesium hydroxide (MH), and magnesium chloride hydrate (MCH) on thermal degradation of red gum wood was studied using cone calorimetry, Thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) ana...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable interest as emerging heterogeneous catalysts for organic transformations of synthetic utility. Herein, a Lewis-acidic MOF, {[Cu3(PEIP)2(5-NH2-mBDC)(DMF)]·7DMF}∞, denoted as Cu(&...
Against the backdrop of global energy transition and strict environmental regulations, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) fracturing and oil displacement technologies have emerged as pivotal green approaches in shale gas exploitation, offering the...
