In this work, we studied the main decomposition reactions on the ground state of nitromethane (CH₃NO₂) with the CASPT2 approach. The energetics of the main elementary reactions of the title molecule have been analyzed on the basis of Gibbs free energ...

We describe the design and synthesis of a series of 7-(N-aryl pyrrolidinyl) indoles and oxo-analogs as isosteric mimics of the DCAF15 binder E7820, a well-known member of aryl sulfonamides known as SPLAMs. The functionalization of C-7 in indoles was...

In this work, tin and zinc salts of silicotungstic and phosphotungstic acids were synthesized, characterized, and tested as catalysts for esterification reactions of glycerol with acetic acid (HOAc) to produce glycerol esters such as monoacetyl glyce...

This study combines experimental and density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the influence of alkaline cation characteristics on the electronic structure and photodegradation efficacy of organic dyes in MNbO₃ (M = Na, K) perovskites. The X-ray Ph...

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction used for carbon–carbon bond formation is one of the most commonly applied reactions in modern organic synthesis. In this work, a concise strategy was developed for constructing the tetrahydroisoqu...

In this study, the application of the response surface method was used to determine the best reaction conditions of the gas-phase hydrogenation of carbon dioxide on a commercial nickel-based catalyst. The procedural goals included the choice and test...

Glycerol is a biogenic waste that is generated in both the biodiesel and oleo-chemical industries. The value addition of surplus glycerol is of utmost importance for making these industries economically profitable. In line with this, glycerol is conv...

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂-NPs) offer promising advantages in semiconductors and biomedical applications due to their optical, electrical, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. However, the widely reported synthetic strategies for CeO₂-NPs...

Metallic Pd/Ni gauzes, located downstream of the Pt/Rh ammonia oxidation catalyst nets in the Ostwald process, is the current technology for capturing volatile gas phase platinum and rhodium species lost from the Pt/Rh combustion catalyst through eva...

New tetrasubstituted porphyrin tin complexes (5–14) were prepared in two different ways: In the first preparation procedure, tin porphyrin complexes were prepared by a direct reaction of butyltin trichloride and dibutyltin dichloride with tetra...

A wide range of agro-industrial waste has been generated due to higher demands for food and energy. New protocols for its valorization are urgent strategies for sustainable development. In this work, residual babassu mesocarp, a native plant from the...

Liquefaction is an effective thermochemical process for converting lignocellulosic biomass into bio-oil, a hydrocarbon-rich resource. This study explores liquefied biomass electrolysis as a novel method to promote the electrocracking of organic molec...

Laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized via the formation of interlinking enzyme aggregates (CLEA). Its free and immobilized enzymes were characterized, and its efficiency was tested via the removal of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous solution....

One-component or bifunctional organocatalysts are some of the most capable compounds to perform the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide (CO₂) since the presence of a co-catalyst is not required. In this study, we designed,...

This work aimed to extract nanolignin from green coconut husk and fiber using the acetosolv method, with the aim of transforming waste into high-value-added products and promoting sustainability and bioeconomy. The acetosolv pulping was carried out i...

The kinetics of modified versions of the model of the Fenton reaction have been investigated. In these versions, radicals are produced by splitting FeO²⁺ (dissociation product of Fe²⁺ ozonide Fe²⁺O₃) into Fe³⁺ and OH^. The analysis shows that the revi...

The chemical-looping reforming (CLR) of methane for hydrogen production employs a solid oxygen carrier (OC) and combines endothermic and exothermic stages, allowing for potential autothermal operation. This study conducted a thermodynamic analysis us...

Liquid and vapor phase transfer hydrogenation with 2-alkanols as hydrogen donors in the presence of MgO as a catalyst was studied. A series of dicarbonyl compounds as well as the equimolar mixtures of various monocarbonyl compounds were used as hydro...

The synthesis of natural and unconventional compounds with carbohydrate structures is of great interest to glycochemists due to their vital biological roles. In recent years, there has been significant progress in developing direct and indirect synth...

This study investigates the electrochemical conversion of methane to methanol using fuel-cell-type reactors with palladium- and lanthanum-based catalysts supported on antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO). The combination of these elements demonstrated prom...

Fast high-temperature gas-phase reactions occurring in the limited space of the arc cavity in the submerged arc welding (SAW) process limit the study of specific gas-phase behaviours. A low-temperature experimental method is applied to investigate ga...
