Enormous quantities of organic and inorganic compounds are released into the environment each year as a result of human activities. In some cases, these releases are deliberate and well regulated (e.g., industrial emissions) while in other cases they are accidental (e.g., chemical or oil spills). Many of these compounds are both toxic and persistent in terrestrial and aquatic environments. The ...

Coordination chemistry is a challenging field in inorganic chemistry and has evolved as an important subject area in current research activities. Coordination compounds have been known for well over a century and the scientific interest in these compounds increased dramatically. The field of coordination chemistry has been widely explored. The recent surge in the popularity of coordination comp...

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with we...

An overview is given of the recent advances in the field of modulated molecular and inorganic crystals with an emphasis on the links between incommensurability, intermolecular and interatomic interactions and, wherever possible, the properties of the materials. The importance of detailed knowledge on the modulated structure for understanding the crystal chemistry and the functional properties o...

Different 3,4-dihydrobenzo[2,3-d] pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by the condensation of substituted 1, 3cyclohexadienes and formamide, using inorganic solid supports under microwaves. Simple and commonly available compounds were used as starting materials in the reactions. The compounds were tested against different fungal and bacterial strains and found considerably effective.

2014 In quasi-one dimensional inorganic conductors such as the transition metal trichalcogenides NbSe3, TaS3, the tetrachalcogenides (TaSe4)2I, (NbSe4)10/3I and the molybdenum blue bronzes A0.30MoO3 (A = K, Rb, T1) a new collective transport by the macroscopic sliding of a so-called charge density wave through the lattice has been reported. We review the structural and electronic properties of ...

Chlorine is usually combined with inorganic compounds, such as sodium or calcium, to produce hypochlorites, which are effective disinfectants. Chlorine mixed with sodium is a liquid bleach known as sodium hypochlorite NaOCl. Chlorine mixed with calcium is usually in granular or tablet form and is called calcium hypochlorite Ca(OCL)2. Chlorine may also be available as chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Ho...

Background Hydrolysates are complex media supplements composed of many as well as different types of compounds. Within Frieslandcampina Domo’s Quality by Design project, detailed information of these compounds (annotation and quantification) has been generated. This was achieved for soy protein hydrolysates (Proyield Soy SE50MAF-UF) using metabolomics biochemical profiling. Biochemical profilin...
