Free volume characteristics of 2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole-co-tetrafluoroethylene copolymers: Effect of composition and molecular weight

2,2-bistrifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxole-co-tetrafluoroethylene (PDD-TFE) copolymer is a good candidate to prepare gas separation membranes with excellent permeability due to its free volume characteristics. However, the influence of PDD-TFE copolymer structure on its free volume characteristics is less studied. In this paper, PDD-TFE copolymers with different compositions and molecular weights were synthesized, and their free volume characteristics were analyzed by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy and a molecular dynamics simulation. It indicated that the molar fraction of PDD in copolymers had a significant effect on free volume characteristics, while the molecular weight of copolymers exerted a slight influence on free volume when the molecular weight exceeded a critical region (intrinsic viscosity [η] > 68 ml g⁻¹). PDD-TFE copolymers with greater PDD molar fractions (i.e., 72% and 84%) showed bimodal distributions in positron lifetime and free volume size distributions, while PDD-TFE copolymers with lower PDD molar fractions (i.e., 27% and 35%) exhibited a single peak. The long-lifetime parameter τ₃ was assigned to micro-cavities formed by [-(TFE)_y-PDD-] segments and τ₄ was attributed to micro-cavities formed by [-(PDD)_x-TFE-] segments. The cis and trans transitions of PDD led to a local multilayer spiral structure with a 2.6–4.3 Å layer spacing, which would also increase the free volume of copolymers.     

Metabolomics techniques applied in the investigation of phenolic acids from the agro-industrial by-product of Carapa guianensis Aubl

Processing of Carapa guianensis seeds to obtain oil on an industrial scale generates a significant amount of by-product, approximately 66% w/w, which is called cake and is a potential source of biomolecules, including simple phenolic structures. For this reason, studies were carried out on the chemical profiles of hydrolyzed extract from this agro-industrial by-product through High Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). These techniques were used to detect metabolic classes and/or groups, and to identify, for the first time, thirteen simple phenolic acids in this by-product. The sample antioxidant capacity was determined by methods of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS⁺) radicals direct sequestration. The hydrolyzed fraction showed a total of 63.47% in the relative abundance of the total of compounds, standing out: p-hydroxybenzoic acid (39.19%) and protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) (5.62%), both from hydroxybenzoic acids and 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)lactic acid, (7.76%) hydroxycinnamic acids derivatives. In these results, the fraction rich in simple phenolic acids was obtained, attributing the prominent behavior of this matrix antioxidant activity, expressed by (IC₅₀: of 16.42 µg/mL and 6.52 µg/mL for DPPH and ABTS⁺ radicals, respectively). The research demonstrated an alternative to applicability that involves sustainability from agro-industrial. These techniques were used to detect metabolic classes and/or groups, and to identify, for the first time, thirteen simple phenolic acids in this by-product, generating a process capable of converting biomass into a bioproduct, consisting of bioactive compounds, in addition to adding value to the industrial chain.

Interaction of 1-acylamino-2,2-dichloroethenyl(triphenyl)phosphonium chlorides with alkanolamines

Abstract

It is shown that the interaction of 1-acylamino-2,2-dichloroethenyl(triphenyl)-phosphonium chlorides with alkanolamines having a primary amino group results in the formation of 4-oxazolylphosphonium salts containing hydroxyalkylamine substituents at position 5 of the oxazole cycle. Under similar conditions the reaction of N-substituted alkanolamines with 1-acylamino-2,2-dichloroethenyl-(triphenyl)phosphonium chlorides leads to the formation of 1,3-oxazolidin-2-ylidene derivatives, in which the triphenylphosphonium group is located in the side chain. The structure of the new synthesized compounds has been reliably proven by elemental analysis, IR, ¹Н, ¹³С, ³¹Р NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Green synthesis of Fe3O4/ZnO magnetic core-shell nanoparticles by Petasites hybridus rhizome water extract and their application for the synthesis of pyran derivatives: Investigation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity

In this research, Fe₃O₄/ZnO magnetic core-shell nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄/ZnO MCNPs) were synthesized through a green method using Petasites hybridus rhizome water extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The morphology and size of the Fe₃O₄/ZnO MCNPs was identified by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The catalytic activity of the Fe₃O₄/ZnO MCNPs was evaluated in the efficient and green preparation of pyran derivatives in excellent yield using three-component reactions of dimedone, aldehydes, and malononitrile in ethanol at room temperature. The ability of some synthesized compounds to scavenge the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical was measured and the results proved this observation. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of some synthesized compounds was proved by employing the disk diffusion test on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results for the disk diffusion test showed that compounds ( 4c, 4d, 4f and 4g ) prevented bacterial growth.     

The superalgebra of W(2,2) and its modules of the intermediate series

In this paper, we study a new Lie superalgebra constructed by a 2|2-dimensional Balinsky–Novikov superalgebra, which is called the superalgebra of W(2,2). It can be realized from semi product of the W-algebra W(2,2) and its module of the intermediate series. Finally, we determine all modules of the intermediate series over this superalgebra. Since it is di?cult to do so directly, we make it by using modules of the intermediate series over the trivial super extension of the Witt algebra.     

3D Metal–Organic Frameworks Based on Co(II) and Bithiophendicarboxylate: Synthesis,Crystal Structures,Gas Adsorption,and Magnetic Properties

Three new 3D metal-organic porous frameworks based on Co(II) and 2,2′-bithiophen-5,5′-dicarboxylate (btdc²⁻) [Co₃(btdc)₃(bpy)₂]·4DMF, 1; [Co₃(btdc)₃(pz)(dmf)₂]·4DMF·1.5H₂O, 2; [Co₃(btdc)₃(dmf)₄]∙2DMF∙2H₂O, 3 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl, pz = pyrazine, dmf = N,N-dimethylformamide) were synthesized and structurally characterized. All compounds share the same trinuclear carboxylate building units {Co₃(RCOO)₆}, connected either by btdc^2– ligands (1, 3) or by both btdc^2– and pz bridging ligands (2). The permanent porosity of 1 was confirmed by N₂, O₂, CO, CO₂, CH₄ adsorption measurements at various temperatures (77 K, 273 K, 298 K), resulted in BET surface area 667 m²⋅g⁻¹ and promising gas separation performance with selectivity factors up to 35.7 for CO₂/N₂, 45.4 for CO₂/O₂, 20.8 for CO₂/CO, and 4.8 for CO₂/CH₄. The molar magnetic susceptibilities χ_p(T) were measured for 1 and 2 in the temperature range 1.77–330 K at magnetic fields up to 10 kOe. The room-temperature values of the effective magnetic moments for compounds 1 and 2 are μ_eff (300 K) ≈ 4.93 μ_B. The obtained results confirm the mainly paramagnetic nature of both compounds with some antiferromagnetic interactions at low-temperatures T < 20 K in 2 between the Co(II) cations separated by short pz linkers. Similar conclusions were also derived from the field-depending magnetization data of 1 and 2.
