Article describes how the rate coefficient k1 for NH2 + N2H4 was measured to be (5.4 ± 0.4) × 10−14 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 296 K. The authors then describe how a combination of experiment and theory leads to a recommended rate coefficient for hydrogen abstraction of k1 = 6.3 × 10−23 T3.44 exp(+289 K/T) cm3 molecule−1 s−1.

Article describes how, in the present study, the water formation was followed by laser absorption with N2O as an oxidant, instead of O2. Three H2S/N2O mixtures diluted in 98% Ar were studied to cover the following range of equivalence ratios: 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0, over a wide range of temperatures (1580–1940 K) around atmospheric pressure.

Article discusses how, although acids are extensively used in contemporary industries, time-consuming and environmentally unfriendly processes hinder single-acid recovery from wastes containing various iconic species. The authors rationally designed a membrane with uniform angstrom-sized pore channels and built-in charge-assisted hydrogen bond donors that preferentially conducted HCl while exhibiting negligible conductance for other compounds.

Article asserts that this research presents a novel and environmentally friendly approach for the synthesis of multifunctional nanobiocomposites for the efficient removal of toxic heavy metal and dye, as well as the disinfection of wastewater microorganisms. The synthesized bioinspired nanocomposite KAC-CS-AgNPs could be an innovative solution for effective and sustainable wastewater treatment and has great potential for commercial applications.

Authors of the article systematically investigated how the membrane charge populations affect permselectivity by decoupling their effects from the impact of the pore structure using a multivariate strategy for constructing covalent-organic-framework membranes. The complex interplay between pore-pore interactions in response to charge variations for ion transport across the upscaled nanoporous membranes helps explain the obtained results. This study has far-reaching implications for the rational design of ionic membranes to augment energy extraction rather than intuitively focusing on achieving high densities.

Article asserts that ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon-free energy carrier. The authors used experimental characterization and modeling to study the participation of alkali and sulfur species in ammonia conversion in a post-flame environment, focusing on the characteristics of NO emissions and NH3 slip.

Data management plan for the grant, "Examining the Viability of the use of Sarocladium zeae as a Biocontrol Agent in the Agricultural Production of Maize." Sarocladium zeae is a fungus that naturally grows within corn and produces pyrrocidines, compounds that inhibit the production of two exogenous threats to maize, aflatoxins and fumonisins. This project aims to identify other natural products that may be produced by S. zeae through genetic modification in native and non-native fungal hosts to ensure there are no toxins present. In doing so, further information will be gathered about the possibility of using S. zeae as a targeted biocontrol agent that protects against exogenous threats while remaining safe for consumption.

Article prepares and characterizes a small series of new [FeFe]-ase biomimics which contain a ferrocenyl diphosphine as a surrogate for the Fe₄S₄ moiety in the H-cluster of the enzyme. Mechanistic details of both proton reduction and H₂ oxidation have been studied by DFT allowing speculative reaction schemes to be developed.

Article demonstrating in situ deposition of BN by sequential BCl₃/NH₃ reactions at 600 K on two different oxidized boron substrates: (a) B₂O₃ deposited using BCl₃/H₂O ALD on Si at 300 K (“B₂O₃/Si”) and (b) a boron-silicon oxide formed by sequential BCl₃/O₂ reactions at 650 K on SiO₂ followed by annealing to 1000 K (“B-Si-oxide”). The data presented demonstrates that ultrathin BN films deposited by BCl₃/NH₃ ALD are promising candidates for passivation of boron oxide used in shallow doping applications.

Author Manuscript version of an article reporting interactions of anionic guests with a tritopic peripherally functionalized conjugated calix[4]pyrrole host (1) prepared using a regioselective synthetic method.

Article demonstrating the dynamic potential for tailoring the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), size, and shapes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) starting from an Au(I) precursor, chloro(dimethyl sulfide)gold (I) (Au(Me2S)Cl), in lieu of the conventional Au(III) precursor hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) hydrate (HAuCl4). This approach presents a one-step method that permits regulation of an Au(I) precursor to form either visible-absorbing gold nanospheres or near-infrared-window (NIRW)-absorbing anisotropic AuNPs.

Article simultaneously imprinting the p-synephrine 1 template and covalently immobilizing a a ferrocene redox probe in a (bis-bithiophene)-based polymer.

This article combines heterologous expression and in vitro studies to show that the flavin-dependent monooxygenase (FMO) TerC catalyzes the initial oxidative decarboxylation of 6-HM. The results demonstrate that the biosynthetic pathways of terrein and related(polychlorinated) congeners diverge after oxidative decarboxylation of the lactone precursor that is catalyzed by a conserved FMO and further indicate that early dehydration of the side chain is an essential step.

This article uses a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) to form a redox self-reporting MIP film-based chemosensor applied for p-synephrine determination.

Article discussing further analyses of the recent report (by Sandeepa et al.) on the solubility of benzoic acid in six monosolvents (i.e. tributyl phosphate, diacetone alcohol, methyl-n-propyl ketone, methyl acetate, amyl acetate, and isooctane) and five binary systems (i.e. ethanol + hexane, isopropyl alcohol + hexane and chloroform + hexane, acetone + hexane, and acetone + water) along with some numerical analyses. The reported calculations have been reanalyzed based on combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich-Kister, the modified Wilson model, general single model, Jouyban–Acree model and Jouyban–Acree–van’t Hoff model. The investigated models provide good estimation of the solubility behavior of benzoic acid in the binary solvent mixtures at various temperatures.
