Uranyl nitrate hexahydrate performs as an efficient photocatalyst in the direct C–H to C–C bond conversion under blue light irradiation via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). This uranyl salt enables remarkable smooth functionalization of unactivated (cyclo)alkanes, ethers, acetals, and amides radical addition onto electrophilic olefins. Dedicated electrochemical measurements on compounds intermediates involved process were carried out support mechanistic proposal.
The merging of decatungstate photocatalysis with electrochemistry enabled the net-oxidative alkylation benzothiazoles aliphatic hydrogen donors featuring strong C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bonds.
The transition to a circular economy vision must handle the increasing request of metals required satisfy battery industry; this can be obtained by recycling and feeding back secondary raw materials recovered through proper waste management. Here, novel green proof-of-concept was developed, based on deep eutectic solvents (DESs) fully easily recover valuable from various cathode active materials, including LiMn
A chemically modified gold electrode has been conveniently prepared by binding multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to which thiol functions have tethered. The characterized atomic force microscopy and oxidative desorption experiments gives excellent results for trace determination of As(III) Bi(III) in natural high-salinity waters, overcoming the limitation typical solid electrodes. mechanism preconcentration at is proposed supported obtained two similar electrodes (CMEs), first one with...
Arylacetic acids were used as sources of benzyl radicals under tetrabutylammonium decatungstate photocatalyzed conditions for the benzylation electron-poor olefins. The reaction proceeds smoothly in a mixed aqueous medium (MeCN/H2O 2/1) presence NaHCO3, NaClO4, and an electron transfer agent (biphenyl). tolerates wide variety functional groups on aromatic ring (whether donating or withdrawing) can be extended to heteroaromatic analogues. olefins have double role radical trap acceptor....
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are a broad class of illicit drugs that classified according to the chemical structure aromatic core they present (i.e., indole, imidazole, pyrrole) and their detection is still challenge, despite widespread diffusion. The identification specific SC in complex matrices, such as real samples with rapid, economic analytical device useable directly field, highly desirable, it can provide immediate reliable information eventually addresses more targeted analyses.
Excited tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT), known to activate a variety of compounds via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), has now been applied as photoredox catalyst for the effective oxidative cleavage benzyl silanes and radical benzylation reducible olefins occurring in isolated yields from poor excellent.
A chiral molecular sensor is used to recognize ferrocene, with the chiroptical readout selectively in presence of competing analytes.
Abstract Sustainable management of spent lithium‐ion batteries, LIBs, is an urgent and critical challenge due to the number such devices reaching end‐of‐life. Recycling can offer a path for recovery valuable raw materials as lithium cobalt, whose supply critical. Thus, it mandatory develop efficient ways selective Li Co from cathode degradation processes. In this study most updated organic acids‐based processes LiCoO 2 , common LIBs cathode, explored obtain leached solution containing Co....
Highly sensitive plasmonic optical fiber platforms combined with receptors have been recently used to obtain selective sensors. A low-cost configuration can be obtained exploiting a D-shaped plastic covered multilayer sensing surface. The consists of gold film, functionalized specific receptor, where the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) occurs. signal is produced by refractive index variation occurring as consequence receptor-to analyte binding. In this work, sensor for copper(II) detection...
Cannabis is a plant with an astonishing ability to biosynthesize cannabinoids, and more than 100 molecules belonging this class have been isolated. Among them in recent years cannabidiol (CBD) has received the interest of pharmacology as major nonpsychotropic cannabinoid many potential clinical applications. Although reactivity CBD widely investigated, only little attention given possible photodegradation cannabinoid, data available literature are outdated and, some cases, conflicting. The...
Abstract Memory effect in firearms that is, the possibility for a weapon to release inorganic particles whose elemental composition depends on its entire shooting history, is responsible most of interpretation difficulties encountered forensic gunshot residue analysis. The presence residues chemically inconsistent with last discharged round, creation having unusual profiles, and dependence population collection point are all manifestations memory effect. experimental results reported this...
This paper introduces a quantitative method for dopamine determination. The is based on molecularly imprinted polypyrrole (e-MIP)-modified screen-printed electrode, with differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) as the chosen measurement technique. molecules are efficiently entrapped in polymeric film, creating recognition cavities. A comparison bare and non-imprinted polypyrrole-modified electrodes clearly demonstrates superior sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility of e-MIP-based one;...
The application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in many different fields, e.g. materials chemistry or bio-nanomedicine, does require their surface derivatization to overcome the low solubility organic aqueous media. CNTs PEGylation, viz. attachment polyethylene glycol chains nanotubes, is rapidly emerging as a technique increase actual applications these (nano)materials. This review focuses on approaches available PEGylate CNTs, either covalently non-covalently, well most common techniques...
