Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry of Ligands for Supramolecular Chemistry and Sensing Applications

A series of multidentate N-donor ligands have been synthesised all containing pyridyl and pyridyl/thiazole units and their coordination behaviour is described. The ligands are classified into four types; i) terpyridine containing pyridyl/thiazole ligands (L); ii) pyridyl/thiazole ligands containing a 3,3′-disubstituted bipyridine core. (L); iii) 2,2′-bipyridine containing a crown ether moiety (...

Characterization of dicarboxylic acids for cellulose hydrolysis.

In this paper, we show that dilute maleic acid, a dicarboxylic acid, hydrolyzes cellobiose, the repeat unit of cellulose, and the microcrystalline cellulose Avicel as effectively as dilute sulfuric acid but with minimal glucose degradation. Maleic acid, superior to other carboxylic acids reported in this paper, gives higher yields of glucose that is more easily fermented as a result of lower co...
