Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and thermal analyses were employed to characterize the ligand and its Ni complex. Their ADMET parameters and potential macromolecular targets calculations showed they have therapeutic potentials. The antioxidant assay shows that Ni-complex is approximately 9 times more potent than the ligand with IC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub> values of 0.045 mg/ml and 0.404 mg/ml, respectively. Their microspecies distribution which was predicted using ChemAxon Predictor revealed their catalytic potentials The reaction mechanisms involved are discussed. The 1,10-phenanthroline-based macrocyclic ligand and its nickel complex significantly expand the structural diversity within the tetraza-macrocyclic ligand system and serve as base ligands for the development of possible derivatives, with concomitant applicability in drug development and catalysis.","PeriodicalId":20911,"journal":{"name":"Pure and Applied Chemistry","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this goal, novel deep eutectic solvents were synthesized by using 2-(butylamino)ethanol (BAE) as the hydrogen bond donor (HBD), along with tetrabutylammonium bromide TBAB), tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC), or tetraethylammonium chloride (TEAC) as the hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA) at various molar ratios (1:6, 1:8, and 1:10). To confirm the presence of hydrogen bond interactions between the components Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy measurements were conducted. Furthermore, thermal properties, including melting points and thermal stability, of these deep eutectic solvents as well as key physical properties, such as density, viscosity, refractive index, and sound velocity, within the temperature range of 293.15–333.15 K and at a pressure of 0.1 MPa were examined. The effect of the molar ratio of HBA to HBD, the type of anion, and the length of the alkyl chain were studied and analysed in regard to physicochemical properties. In this work, the solubility of carbon dioxide in DESs derived from 2-(butylamino)ethanol, 3-aminopropan-1-ol (AP), and 2-(methylamino)ethanol (MAE) was measured. The highest CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> capacity was found for TEAC:MAE 1:10 DES characterized by the shortest alkyl chain length in both HBA and HBD molecules, the highest amine content, and the lowest viscosity. Additionally, the effect of water addition on carbon dioxide solubility was explored. The results showed that the influence of water on CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> solubility varies with the type of DES. In general, this work highlighted that DESs can serve as effective media for carbon dioxide capture, and their performance can be tailored by changing the type of hydrogen bond acceptor or donor, their molar ratio and by the addition of water.","PeriodicalId":20911,"journal":{"name":"Pure and Applied Chemistry","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141740788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this perspective we highlight the research and innovation possibilities provided by renewable raw materials obtained from biomass within the domain of organic synthesis toward sustainable development.

These six examples include free expansion of an ideal gas, mixing of ideal gases, diffusion of an ideal solute, mixing of ideal solutes, osmosis with ideal solutions, and free discharge of a concentration battery with ideal solutions. The previous paper demonstrated how energy was not a driving force in any of these examples and then proceeded to develop a positional entropy model, <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> <jats:sub>D</jats:sub>, that explains why these spontaneous processes occur. This new paper provides a method for calculating positional entropy, <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> <jats:sub>D</jats:sub>, for the same six systems, but for real particles that include nonzero volumes, particles with different volumes, and particles with different particle-particle interactions. The important outcome of this work shows that spontaneous discharge of these six example systems, either for ideal or real particles, is the result of a probability field created by the non-equilibrium distribution of the microstates that exists after the constraints on the system are changed, e.g., by removal of a separating partition or the shorting of a concentration cell. The probability field biases the movement of the particles toward the equilibrium distribution, where the bias is a consequence of an increased probability and not because of a decrease in energy. An additional conclusion of this work shows that the discharge of the probability field to the final equilibrium distribution of positional microstates removes the potential energy in the system but does not violate the law of conservation of energy.","PeriodicalId":20911,"journal":{"name":"Pure and Applied Chemistry","volume":"477 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141611894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a formal definition of biochar and related terms is missing, which hinders the standardization of scientific results worldwide and the scaling-up of research at the industrial level. Furthermore, an official terminology may promote the development of a harmonized legal framework for biochar production and applications, both at regional and national levels. This glossary of terms consists of 178 scientifically sound definitions of the most commonly used terms in biochar research. The definitions of this glossary are interconnected, allowing the reader to further explore the synergies between terms. The distribution of terms reflects the multidisciplinarity of biochar research: chemistry, material science and engineering, and soil science are the main disciplines represented here.
