Plants of the Allium genus produce sulphur compounds that give them a characteristic (alliaceous) flavour and mediate for their medicinal use. In this study, the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of Allium cepa red cv. and A. sativum in the context of three different drying processes were assessed using metabolomics. Bulbs were dried using either microwave, air drying, or freeze...

Abstract. This article, the eighth in series, presents kinetic and photochemical data sheets evaluated by IUPAC Task Group on Atmospheric Chemical Kinetic Data Evaluation. It covers gas-phase thermal reactions of organic species with four, or more, carbon atoms (? C4) available website 2021, including closed-shell HO NO3 radicals their photolysis. The present work is a continuation volume II (A...

Single component as well as binary component reforming studies were conducted on diesel surrogates (tetradecane, decalin, and 1-methylnaphthalene). H2, CO, and CO2 production was measured as a function of temperature, space velocity, and reforming type for a Pt-based catalyst. Intermediate species formation of various hydrocarbons including olefins and aromatics were observed during reforming. ...

The aim of this study was to compare the solubility of selected volatile organic compounds in water and silicon oil using the simple static headspace method. The experimental design allowed equilibrium achievement within 30 – 60 minutes. Infinite dilution activity coefficients and Henry’s law constants for various organics representing esters, ketones, alkanes, aromatics, cycloalkanes and amine...

We have established two classification rules that statistically accurate allow to separate carcinogenically active chemical compounds from inactive chemical compounds. The electronic and information properties of molecules are used as molecular descriptors. The threshold values of descriptors that characterize and determine the presence or absence of carcinogenic properties of chemical compound...

This paper examines charge transport by tunneling across a series of electrically insulating molecules with the structure HS(CH2)4CONH(CH2)2R) in the form of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), supported on silver. The molecules examined were studied experimentally by Yoon et al. (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 4658-4661), using junctions of the structure AgS(CH2)4CONH(CH2)2R//Ga2O3/EGaIn. The t...

We examined the molecular-level interactions of aromatic compounds with a humic acid that was extensively characterized with one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Interactions of target compounds were evaluated by monitoring their NMR relaxation properties. Solid-state NMR revealed that the humic sample contains paraffinic carbon (31%), substituted aliphatic ca...

[1] Proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) was deployed for continuous real-time monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at a site near the Houston Ship Channel during the Texas Air Quality Study 2000. Overall, 28 ions dominated the PTR-MS mass spectra and were assigned as anthropogenic aromatics (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylenes) and hydrocarbons (propene, isoprene), oxygen...

Chemical sensors based on metal oxides (MOx) are most promising for emerging applications including medical breath analysis, distributed environmental monitoring and rapid food quality assessment. Yet, such not established in daily practice, mainly due to their limited selectivity, sensitivity stability. Catalytic filters offer an effective solution improve these by converting interferants inac...
