The four polymorphs all crystallized in the monoclinic system but different space groups. Notable differences between polymorphs 3 and 4 lie in their respective unit cell parameters; a fifth polymorph 5 of the same compound crystallized in the orthorhombic system and was previously reported by us. Structural deviations between polymorphs were performed by molecular overlays and the statistical values were expressed as root mean square deviation (RMSD). The highest structural deviations were between polymorphs 1 & 4 and 2 & 4 with an RMSD of about 1.0 while polymorphs 3 & 4 had a smaller difference with an RMSD of about 0.25. The solid-state molecular organization in the five polymorphs was also studied and discussed in terms of molecular conformation, crystal packing and hydrogen-bonded networks. Polymorphs 1–5 contain a variety of intermolecular and intramolecular non-classical hydrogen bonding interactions which form hydrogen-bonded supramolecular architectures. In all polymorphs, these hydrogen bond interactions were between the hydrogen atoms of the substituted and unsubstituted ferrocenyl moiety and the adjoining sulfur atoms of the dithiophosphonate group. A DFT geometry optimization found that 2 had the lowest energy and verified the molecular overlay. The reactivity indices further proved 2 to be the most reactive.

To explore the efficacy of AlC3 as an adsorbent system, several essential properties of edifenphos, AlC3, and the complex of edifenphos-AlC3 are investigated. Edifenphos has an interaction through its -P = O group with the Al atoms of AlC3 with adsorption energy (Eads) of approximately −34.46 kcal/mol. The charge-transfer process is investigated by carrying out the LUMO-HOMO analysis, which is further supported by the NBO analysis. The net value of charge transfer from the edifenphos to AlC3 in the most stable complex is about 0.526 e. In addition, during edifenphos adsorption on the AlC3 surface the energy gap (Eg) of AlC3 was reduced from 2.25 to 1.17 eV. Also, the solvation energy (Esol) values of edifenphos@AlC3 are calculated to be −40.29 kcal/mol, which indicates that edifenphos@AlC3 is stabilized by water via spontaneous solvation. Overall, the results demonstrate that AlC3 can be employed as an effective adsorbent system for edifenphos to treat different forms of wastewater.

Based on the results, the introduction of K+ generated xerogels with good porosity and conferred resistance to matrix cracking. The amorphous character of the xerogels did not change after adding K+. FTIR spectra showed that the composition of the xerogels was improved after the addition of K+. Cation exchange and sulfur removal were much more efficient in the presence of K+ which improved the acidity of the xerogels. The best percentages of Si and Al were observed at the Na+/K+ ratios of 4 and 1.The enhanced xerogel prepared with Na+/K+ ratio of 1 gave a biodiesel yield of 80.44% at the optimum parameters and was used for three reaction cycles without significant loss of biodiesel yield.
