The formation, properties and lifetime of secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere are largely determined by gas-particle partitioning coefficients participating vapours. Since these often difficult to measure or compute, we developed a machine learning (ML) model predict them given molecular structure as input. Our data-driven approach is based on dataset Wang et al. (Atmos. Chem. Phys., 1...

Functionalized membranes have high potential value in a broad range of practical applications, and the functional groups at membrane edge play vital role permeability membranes. Here, based on an edge-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) model, we theoretically report that high-frequency terahertz stimulation frequency near 44.0 THz can significantly enhance water by nearly five times. Its mechan...

A new general methodology for the synthesis of various functionalized privileged oxygen heterocyclic scaffolds, viz. pyrones, coumarins, and benzannulated coumarins, is developed. The synthesis proceeds through carbanion-induced ring transformation of lactones with various methylene carbonyl compounds followed by DDQ-mediated unprecedented oxidative cleavage of oxaylidenes intermediates. Studie...

Tetrairidium carbonyl clusters are potentially useful connectors for multidimensional functionalized frameworks with organic bis-phosphines as linkers. The reaction of Ir(4)(CO)(12) and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)benzene produces an oligomeric cyclic structure, made of 4 connectors and 6 linkers, a possible intermediate in the formation of three dimensional networks.

The authors present dielectrophoresis DEP -based tweezers that can be used to characterize the interactions between a particle and the surface it is attached to, within a microfluidic device. As a proof of concept, 5.4 m polystyrene beads functionalized by carboxyl group were attached on a bare and poly-L-lysine functionalized oxide surface. Negative dielectrophoresis force was generated using ...

In the net reaction catalyzed by homogentisate oxidase of rat liver, two atoms of osygen are added to the double bond between carbon atoms 1 and 2 of homogentisate (2, 3) resulting in the formation of maleylacetoacetate (Fig. 1). The enzyme is located in the soluble phase of the liver cell; its activity is totally independent of the hydrogen and electron transport system. Its properties and mod...
