Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on how urban concrete contamination by chemical weapons complicates forensic investigations due to its porous nature and alkali composition, which degrades chemical agents.
  • It examines the recovery of alcohols and thiols—byproducts of chemical warfare agents—from different types of concrete while considering factors like temperature, moisture, and airflow.
  • Results show that denser concrete retains chemicals longer but recovers them less effectively, with environmental conditions playing a significant role in the persistence and recovery of these hazardous substances.

Four novel Co(II) coordination compounds 1-4 of the general formula [Co(L)][Co(NCY)]·CHCN (where L are tridentate ligands L1 = 2,6-bis(1-hexyl-1-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine for 1 and 2; L2 = 2,6-bis(1-octyl-1-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine for 3; L3 = 2,6-bis(1-dodecyl-1-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine for 4, Y = O for 1, 3, and 4 and Y = S for 2; = 0 for 1 and 3, = 0.5 for 2 and = 2 for 4) were prepared and characterised. The molecular structures of all four compounds consist of the hexacoordinate complex cation [Co(L)] and tetracoordinate complex anion [Co(NCY)], with distorted octahedral and tetrahedral symmetry of coordination polyhedra, respectively.

Antibiotic resistance in staphylococcal strains and its impact on public health and agriculture are global problems. The development of new anti-staphylococcal agents is an effective strategy for addressing the increasing incidence of bacterial resistance. In this study, ethanolic extracts of Cannabis sativa L.
