Influence of acid treatment on structure of clinoptilolite tuff and its adsorption of methane

This study presents the results of the methane adsorption properties of clinoptilolite tuff from Bigadic, Turkey and that of acid treated forms at 273 and 293 K up to 100 kPa using volumetric apparatus. In order to assess changes in structural and gas adsorption properties of clinoptilolite, zeolite sample was treated with acid solutions of varying concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 M) at 70 °C during 3 h. Structural and thermal characterization of natural and acid treated clinoptilolite samples were carried out using a combination of techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, thermogravimetric, differential thermal analysis and nitrogen adsorption methods. At both temperatures, uptake of methane (CH₄) increased in the following order: CLN < CLN-H2 < CLN-H1 < CLN-H05 < CLN-H01. CH₄ adsorption capacities of the original and acid treated clinoptilolites were found in the range of 0.476–0.910 mmol/g and 0.398–0.691 mmol/g at 273 and 293 K, respectively.     

Sensitive,Accurate and Selective Determination of Cd(II) Using Anodic Stripping Voltammetry with in-situ Hg-Bi Film Modified Pencil Graphite Electrode After Magnetic Dispersive Solid Phase Microextraction

This paper describes a novel approach to detect Cd(II) using the combination of the differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry and magnetic nanoparticle based dispersive solid phase microextraction as an efficient, green and accurate method. Currents of Cd(II) increased linearly in the range from 75 to 2000 ng L⁻¹ Cd(II) with a detection limit of 21.6 ng L⁻¹. The RSD values of 2.6 and 6.0 % for 1.00 and 0.10 μg L⁻¹ respectively showed that proposed method has an acceptable repeatability. Recovery values between 92.3 and 98.6 % showed that this approach can be successfully used for determination of Cd(II) in water samples.     

Synthesis and investigation of antibacterial activities and carbonic anhydrase and acetyl cholinesterase inhibition profiles of novel 4,5-dihydropyrazol and pyrazolyl-thiazole derivatives containing methanoisoindol-1,3-dion unit

Novel 4,5-dihydropyrazole derivatives (3a–i), 3-(4-((3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-1,3-dioxo-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindol-2(3H)-yl)phenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothio amide, were obtained by the addition of thiosemicarbazide (2) to the chalcones (1a–i). The addition–cyclization of 2,4′-dibromoacetophenone (4) to pyrazole derivatives (3a–i) gave the new pyrazolyl-thiazole derivatives (5a–i), (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-(4-(1-(4-(4-bromophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindole-1,3(2H)-dione. Antibacterial and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme and human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I, and II isoform inhibitory activities of the compounds 3a–i and 5a–i were investigated. Some of the compounds showed promising antibacterial activity. In addition, the hCA II and I were effectively inhibited by the lately synthesized derivatives, with K_i values in the range of 18.90?±?2.37 ?58.25?±?13.62?nM for hCA II and 5.72?±?0.98 ?37.67?±?5.54?nM for hCA I. Also, the K_i parameters of these compounds for AChE were obtained in the range of 25.47?±?11.11???255.74?±?82.20?nM. Also, acetazolamide, clinical molecule, was used as a CA standard inhibitor that showed K_i value of 70.55?±?12.30?nM against hCA II, and 67.17?±?9.1?nM against hCA I, and tacrine inhibited AChE showed K_i value of 263.67?±?91.95.     

Efficient one-pot three-component method for the synthesis of highly fluorescent coumarin-containing 3,5-disubstituted-2,6-dicyanoaniline derivatives under microwave irradiation

A simple and concise approach to the synthesis of coumarin-containing highly fluorescent asymmetric/symmetric 3,5-diaryl/heteroaryl-2,6-dicyanoaniline derivatives are reported. The compounds were synthesized through base catalyzed three-component one-pot synthesis reaction of 2-(1-(7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene)malononitrile, aliphatic, aromatic/heteroaromatic aldehydes, and malononitrile in solvent-free reaction medium, catalyzed by piperidine under microwave irradiation method. The reaction gave the novel, highly fluorescent coumarin-containing 3,5-disubstituted-2,6-dicyanoaniline derivatives in good yields at 300?W, 80?°C in 2?min. This method provides several advantages; such as shorter reaction time, environmental friendliness, simple workup procedure, lower energy consumption and, generally, good yields with high purity. In addition, the synthesized compounds are fluorescently active dyes even in day light, except for compounds including nitro substituent, and show maximum absorption wavelengths (λ_abs.max) in the visible region in DMSO at room temperature. Thermal properties of all the synthesized compounds were also evaluated with thermal gravimetric analysis for usability as optic dye. Optical and thermal screening studies of the compounds showed that the dyes have excellent photophysical and thermal stability properties.     

On the Pure-injectivity Profile of a Ring

An analog of the injective profile of a ring, with relative injectivity replaced by relative pure-injectivity, is investigated. Emphasis is placed on comparing and contrasting the properties of both profiles. In particular, the analog in this context of the notion of poor modules is considered and properties of pure-injectively poor modules are determined. While we do not know of any ring that does not have pure-injectively poor modules, their existence has not been determined in general. Rings having pure-injectively poor modules of various types are characterized.
