Water enables transimination between hindered ketimines and β-aminoalcohols and selective protection of a vicinal diamine backbone

Water mediates synthesis of novel hindered Schiff bases via transmination protocol. The feature of the procedure is that it allows both tuning of steric and electronic factors of the substituents and mono-imination of vicinal diamines, which potentially facilitates one-pot approach to unsymmetrical metal ligands.

High‐Loading Nano‐SnO2 Encapsulated in situ in Three‐Dimensional Rigid Porous Carbon for Superior Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO₂ NPs) have been encapsulated in situ in a three‐dimensional ordered space structure. Within this composite, ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) acts as a carbon framework showing a desirable ordered mesoporous structure with an average pore size (≈6 nm) and a high surface area (470.3 m² g^?1), and the SnO₂ NPs (≈10 nm) are highly loaded (up to 80 wt %) and homogeneously distributed within the OMC matrix. As an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries, a SnO₂@OMC composite material can deliver an initial charge capacity of 943 mAh g^?1 and retain 68.9 % of the initial capacity after 50 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g^?1, even exhibit a capacity of 503 mA h g^?1 after 100 cycles at 160 mA g^?1. In situ encapsulation of the SnO₂ NPs within an OMC framework contributes to a higher capacity and a better cycling stability and rate capability in comparison with bare OMC and OMC ex situ loaded with SnO₂ particles (SnO₂/OMC). The significantly improved electrochemical performance of the SnO₂@OMC composite can be attributed to the multifunctional OMC matrix, which can facilitate electrolyte infiltration, accelerate charge transfer, and lithium‐ion diffusion, and act as a favorable buffer to release reaction strains for lithiation/delithiation of the SnO₂ NPs.     

One‐Step Pyro‐Synthesis of a Nanostructured Mn3O4/C Electrode with Long Cycle Stability for Rechargeable Lithium‐Ion Batteries

A nanostructured Mn₃O₄/C electrode was prepared by a one‐step polyol‐assisted pyro‐synthesis without any post‐heat treatments. The as‐prepared Mn₃O₄/C revealed nanostructured morphology comprised of secondary aggregates formed from carbon‐coated primary particles of average diameters ranging between 20 and 40 nm, as evidenced from the electron microscopy studies. The N₂ adsorption studies reveal a hierarchical porous feature in the nanostructured electrode. The nanostructured morphology appears to be related to the present rapid combustion strategy. The nanostructured porous Mn₃O₄/C electrode demonstrated impressive electrode properties with reversible capacities of 666 mAh g^?1 at a current density of 33 mA g^?1, good capacity retentions (1141 mAh g^?1 with 100 % Coulombic efficiencies at the 100^th cycle), and rate capabilities (307 and 202 mAh g^?1 at 528 and 1056 mA g^?1, respectively) when tested as an anode for lithium‐ion battery applications.     

Betaine and Carnitine Derivatives as Herbicidal Ionic Liquids

This study focused on the synthesis and subsequent characterization of herbicidal ionic liquids based on betaine and carnitine, two derivatives of amino acids, which were used as cations. Four commonly used herbicides (2,4‐D, MCPA, MCPP and Dicamba) were used as anions in simple (single anion) and oligomeric (two anions) salts. The obtained salts were subjected to analyzes regarding physicochemical properties (density, viscosity, refractive index, thermal decomposition profiles and solubility) as well as evaluation of their herbicidal activity under greenhouse and field conditions, toxicity towards rats and biodegradability. The obtained results suggest that the synthesized herbicidal ionic liquids displayed low toxicity (classified as category 4 compounds) and showed similar or improved efficacy against weed compared to reference herbicides. The highest increase was observed during field trials for salts containing 2,4‐D as the anion, which also exhibited the highest biodegradability (>75 %).
