Preparation of Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles for Selective Adsorption and Separation of β-Estradiol

In this study, we report the synthesis of MIP-coated hybrid NPs by “semi-covalent” imprinting technique throught a thermally reversible covalent bond and application for biochemical separation of β-estradiol (E₂). A moleculary imprinted polymer (MIP) were synthesized using 3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl isocyanate and dibutyltin dilanurate as a functional monomer and cross-linking agent and β-estradiol as template. The removal of the template by a simple thermal reaction produced specific β-estradiol recognition sites on the surface of silica shell. Meanwhile, a solid-phase extraction (SPE) based on E₂- MMIPs has been established for efficient separation and fast enrichment of E₂ from the plasma. Recoveries of E₂ from two kinds of plasma spiked at different concentration levels ranged from 86.9 to 103.3 with RSD <1.76 %.In this manner LOD was 0.0019 and LOQ was 0.0057 (µmol L^?1), capacity factor and selectivity factor were 3.05 and 1.099 respectively. Also E₂- MMIPs was used for selective separation of E₂ from drugs mixture.

An Environmentally Benign Multicomponent Synthesis of Some Novel 2‐Methylthio Pyrimidine Derivatives Using MCM‐41‐NH2 as Nanoreactor and Nanocatalyst

Some novel 4‐amino‐6‐aryl‐2‐methylthio pyrimidine‐5‐carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized through a one‐pot three‐component reaction of an aldehyde, malononitrile, and S‐methylisothiouronium iodide, using MCM‐41‐NH₂ as nanoreactor and nanocatalyst. This protocol has some advantages including application of readily available and nonhazardous materials, benign reaction conditions (ambient temperature, solvent‐free, and one‐pot approach), easy work‐up, and high overall yields of the products.     

A four-component synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles in a new water-based worm-like micellar medium

Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) as a biodegradable surfactant produces a new worm-like micellar medium for rapid synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles via a four-component reaction of aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile, and hydrazine hydrate at 50–60 °C. This zwitterionic surfactant was superior to anionic, cationic, and nonionic alternatives for accessing high yields of pure products without the use of any organic solvent. While the reaction medium was reusable, simple isolation of products, mild reaction conditions, low loading of CAPB for critical micelle concentration and short reaction times are additional advantages of this green procedure.     

Degenerate entangled photon pairs source based on PPLN waveguide for quantum computation

Integrated photonic devices are expected to play a promising role in the field of quantum information science. In this paper we propose two schemes for generating polarization-mode entangled photon pairs based on titanium-indiffused waveguide on periodically polled lithium niobate by using simultaneous quasi-phase-matching of Type-I and higher order Type-0 spontaneous parametric down conversion processes in one of them and Type-II in another. The photon pairs are emitted at the wavelength of 812 nm suitable for quantum computation applications within a bandwidth of 14 and 0.2 nm, and the generation rate of the degenerate sources is 44,360 and 91 pairs/(s GHz mW) respectively, in a 1-cm long waveguide. These degenerate sources can provide maximally entangled photon pairs as the Tangle of the sources is as high as 0.9999 and 1, accordingly.

Exergy Analysis of a Bio-System: Soil–Plant Interaction

This paper explains a thorough exergy analysis of the most important reactions in soil–plant interactions. Soil, which is a prime mover of gases, metals, structural crystals, and electrolytes, constantly resembles an electric field of charge and discharge. The second law of thermodynamics reflects the deterioration of resources through the destruction of exergy. In this study, we developed a new method to assess the exergy of soil and plant formation processes. Depending on the types of soil, one may assess the efficiency and degradation of resources by incorporating or using biomass storage. According to the results of this study, during different processes from the mineralization process to nutrient uptake by the plant, about 62.5% of the input exergy will be destroyed because of the soil solution reactions. Most of the exergy destruction occurs in the biota–atmosphere subsystem, especially in the photosynthesis reaction, due to its low efficiency (about 15%). Humus and protonation reactions, with 14% and 13% exergy destruction, respectively, are the most exergy destroying reactions. Respiratory, weathering, and reverse weathering reactions account for the lowest percentage of exergy destruction and less than one percent of total exergy destruction in the soil system. The total exergy yield of the soil system is estimated at about 37.45%.     

Synthesis of New Multibenzo Oxygen–Sulfur Donor Macrocycles Containing Lactams at Room Temperature

Some new oxygen–sulfur, multibenzo macrocyclic ligands containing amide groups have been prepared using the macrocyclization process with the reaction of 2,2′-thiobis-[4-methyl(2-aminophenoxy)phenyl ether] as a symmetrical diamine with appropriate dicarboxylicacid dichlorides in moderate yields. This macrocyclization led to the formation of di- and tetramide macrocycles. These reactions were routinely carried out at ambient temperature in CH₂Cl₂ as solvent in high dilution without template effect conditions. It is found that sulfur the atom affects the rigidity of the macrocycles and diastereotopicity of nuclei in the ring of these series of macrocyclic compounds.
