Synthesis of Substituted 1H,5-Dihydroimidazolium Salts by Dehydrogenation of Imidazolidines

A study is presented on the scope of the method to obtain 1H-4,5-dihydroimidazolium salts 3 by dehydrogenation of 1,3-di and 1,2,3-trisubstituted imidazolidines 2. Of the dehydrogenating agents used, N-bromoacetamide leads to the best results, providing a simple and general method to prepare salts 3.     

Trends on CO2 Capture with Microalgae: A Bibliometric Analysis

The alarming levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) are an environmental problem that affects the economic growth of the world. CO₂ emissions represent penalties and restrictions due to the high carbon footprint. Therefore, sustainable strategies are required to reduce the negative impact that occurs. Among the potential systems for CO₂ capture are microalgae. These are defined as photosynthetic microorganisms that use CO₂ and sunlight to obtain oxygen (O₂) and generate value-added products such as biofuels, among others. Despite the advantages that microalgae may present, there are still technical–economic challenges that limit industrial-scale commercialization and the use of biomass in the production of added-value compounds. Therefore, this study reviews the current state of research on CO₂ capture with microalgae, for which bibliometric analysis was used to establish the trends of the subject in terms of scientometric parameters. Technological advances in the use of microalgal biomass were also identified. Additionally, it was possible to establish the different cooperation networks between countries, which showed interactions in the search to reduce CO₂ concentrations through microalgae.     

Congruence of selfadjoint operators

Given a bounded selfadjoint operator a in a Hilbert space , the aim of this paper is to study the orbit of a, i.e., the set of operators which are congruent to a. We establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for an operator to be in the orbit of a. Also, the orbit of a selfadjoint operator with closed range is provided with a structure of differential manifold.
