Determination of traces of fluorine or sulfur by x-ray analysis

New X-ray methods have been developed for the determination of as little as 1 μg of fluorine or as little as 0.1 μg of sulfur. Fluorine as fluoride is precipitated as lanthanum fluoride in 75% ethanol-water mixture and determined by measuring the amount of lanthanum present in the precipitate. Sulfur as sulfate is precipitated as barium sulfate from a barium sulfate saturated 50% ethanol-buffer mixture, using selenate as a coprecipitant, and determined by measuring the amount of sulfur present. Sulfur as sulfide is precipitated as cadmium sulfide and determined by measuring the amount of sulfur or cadmium in the precipitate.

Chemical reaction and Soret effects on MHD convective flow of second grade fluid through an absorbent medium with ramped wall temperature as well as ramped surface concentration

In the present paper, the heat generating and/or absorption as well as thermo-diffusion on the unsteady free convection MHD gyrating flow of radiation and chemical reactive second grade fluid past an unbounded perpendicular plate during absorbent medium have been discussed. Here, it is assumed that, the confining plate has the ramped wall temperature with ramped surface concentration and isothermal temperature with ramped surface concentration. The analytical solutions for the governing equations are found by utilization of Laplace transformation methodology. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed with quite few figures. It is determined that, velocity, temperature and concentration distribution sketches in case of ramped temperature as well as ramped surface concentration are not as much of as those of isothermal temperature as well as ramped surface concentration. In addition to the idioms of skin friction, Nusselt number as well as Sherwood number are achieved and characterized numerically with tabular format.     

Size-exclusion chromatographic behavior of bovine serum albumin in uni-uni valent ions solutions

Summary Molecular interaction between uni-uni valent ions and bovine serum albumin was investigated by size-exclusion chromatography. Elution profiles are first presented for salt and protein solutions as samples with water as the mobile phase; then for water and protein as samples with salt solutions as the mobile phase. The results suggest the existence of a dynamic equilibrium between the salt ions and the protein ions as reactants and the ion-pair (salt-protein) complex as a product.

Advances and challenges of MOF derived carbon-based electrocatalysts and photocatalyst for water splitting: A review

Environmental pollution and energy shortage are substantial fears to the modern world's long-term sustainability. Water splitting is an essential technique for eco - friendly and sustainable energy storage, as well as a pollution-free method to produce hydrogen. In this regards Metal–organic frameworks have emerged as the most competent multifunctional materials in recent times, due to its large surface areas, adjustable permeability, easy compositional alteration, and capability for usage as precursors with a wide range of morphological forms. Further, MOF-derived carbon-based nanomaterials also offer significant benefits in terms of tunable morphological features and hierarchical permeability, as well as ease of functionalization, making them extremely effective as catalysts or catalysts supports for a wide variety of important reactions. Recent developments in carbon-based MOFs as catalysts for overall water splitting are discussed in this review. We explore how MOFs and carbon-based MOFs might well be beneficial, as well as which methods should be explored for future development. We divided our review into two sections: photocatalytic and electrocatalytic water splitting, and we gathered published literature on carbon-based MOFs materials for their outstanding activity, offers helpful methods for catalysts design and analysis, as well as difficulties This study highlights the developments in MOF derived materials as photo and electro catalysts by explaining respective approaches for their use in overall water splitting.     

Experimental and theoretical challenges in the chemistry of noncovalent intermolecular interaction and clustering

The weak, noncovalent interactions among molecules at long range and as close as van der Waals contact form a crucial contemporary frontier for chemical physics, one with many challenges for experimental as well as theoretical investigation. Certain of these challenges have been met in the last two decades, but as recognition of the complexity of phenomena governed or affected by weak interaction has grown, new challenges have arisen. We discuss a number of these challenges in the context of recent developments and progress, highlighting both disparate objectives of theory and experiment in this area as well as their crucial interplay.

Enzyme-based biocatalysis for the treatment of organic pollutants and bioenergy production

Enzyme-based biocatalysis is emerging as an advanced technique to develop green processes that help to maintain the sustainability of the environment. The bioremediation of toxic organic pollutants and waste to bioenergy production using enzymes as biocatalysts is rapidly growing due to its eco-friendly and sustainable nature. Additionally, a range of microbial species that typically grow on organic wastes can be used to produce these enzymes in an efficient manner. This is seen as a potential strategy for the development of cost-effective manufacturing for a number of biotechnological applications. The present study discusses biocatalysis as a promising and sustainable method toward the bioremediation of hazardous organic pollutants as well as for bioenergy production, based on the immense potential of enzymes as biocatalysts. Emphasis has been placed on evaluating the critical elements that can enhance the production of enzymes used as biocatalysts, as well as their functional effectiveness and stability.     

Effect of butterfly-shaped sulfur-bridged ligand and counter anions on the catalytic activity and diastereoselectivity of organobismuth complexes

In the direct Mannich reaction and synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones, the use of organobismuth complexes as catalysts leads to high diastereoselectivity and products of single trans conformation. In this paper, we illustrate the relationship between structure and catalytic activity as well as diastereoselectivity of organobismuth complexes having a 5,6,7,12-tetrahydrodibenz [c,f][1,5]thiobismocine framework as well as bearing a butterfly-shaped sulfur-bridged ligand and tunable anions. With the exposed bismuth center acting as a Lewis acid site and the uncoordinated lone pair electrons of sulfur as a Lewis base site, the cationic organobismuth complexes work as bifunctional Lewis acid/base catalysts. Due to the steric influence of the butterfly-shaped structure and synergistic effect of Lewis acid and Lewis base centers, the complexes can direct substrate attack in organic synthesis. By adjusting the electron-withdrawing ability of the counter anions, the S-Bi bond strength can be regulated, leading to a significant change in Lewis acidity and Lewis basicity as well as catalytic activity. Through synergistic modulation of the above effects, one can control the diastereoselectivity of the organobismuth complexes for the generation of a single diastereoisomer.

Eka-elements as chemical pure possibilities

From Mendeleev’s time on, the Periodic Table has been an attempt to exhaust all the chemical possibilities of the elements and their interactions, whether these elements are known as actual or are not known yet as such. These latter elements are called “eka-elements” and there are still some of them in the current state of the Table. There is no guarantee that they will be eventually discovered, synthesized, or isolated as actual. As long as the actual existence of eka-elements is predicted, they cannot be considered as actual but only as purely possible. Given that eka-elements are chemical pure possibilities, a possibilist approach, entitled “panenmentalism,” can gain support as well as an important implication.

Construction of hydrolytically-degradable thin films via layer-by-layer deposition of degradable polyelectrolytes

Hydrolytically degradable, multilayered films ranging from 10 to 100 nm have been constructed by the layer-by-layer deposition of degradable polycations and oppositely charged polyanions. Polycations play dual roles in these systems, serving as structural components of the film as well as transient elements designed to trigger release; polyanions serve as structural components and as entities to be released or delivered. The films erode in a controlled manner under physiological conditions and are suitable for the incorporation and subsequent controlled release of functional polyanions such as DNA.
