Article Synopsis
  • The study presents a novel method for efficiently separating hexane isomers, crucial for creating low-carbon fuels without energy-heavy processes.
  • The researchers developed a new metal-organic framework (MOF), Cu(bhdc)(ted) (ZUL-C5), featuring unique pore architecture that enhances the separation of dibranched from linear and monobranched isomers.
  • A combination of advanced experiments and modeling led to the discovery of a synergistic separation mechanism, achieving impressive results in the production of high-purity 2,2-dimethylbutane.

Depolymerization of polymeric proanthocyanidins (PPCs) in grape seeds into oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), especially the dimers, has important academic significance and practical value. Reaction conditions including nucleophilic reagent/PPC mass ratio, HCl concentration, reaction time, and temperature were systematically optimized by central composite design to maximize the yield of the dimeric product B2 or B1. The yield of B2 reached 3.

Plant secondary metabolites (SMs) are not only a useful array of natural products but also an important part of plant defense system against pathogenic attacks and environmental stresses. With remarkable biological activities, plant SMs are increasingly used as medicine ingredients and food additives for therapeutic, aromatic and culinary purposes. Various genetic, ontogenic, morphogenetic and environmental factors can influence the biosynthesis and accumulation of SMs.
