Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to study the ability of B to adsorb HS, SO, SO, CHSH, (CH)S, and CHS gases. Several exchange-correlation including B97D, PBE, B3LYP, M062X, and WB97XD were utilized to evaluate adsorption energies. The initial results showed that boundary boron atoms are the most appropriate interaction sites.

The method is based on the adsorption of metal ions as N-(5-methyl-2-hydroxyacetophenone)-N'-(2-hydroxyacetophenone) ethylene diamine (MHE) complex on synthesized graphene oxide. Computational modeling based on PM6 semi-empirical potential energy surface was utilized to investigate the interaction of metallic complexes with graphene oxide sheet.

A modified, selective, highly sensitive and accurate procedure for the determination of trace amounts of manganese and iron ions is established in the presented work. 3-(1-Methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid (MPPC) and graphene oxide (GO) were used in a glass column as chelating reagent and as adsorbent respectively prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The adsorption mechanism of titled metals complexes on GO was investigated by using computational chemistry approach based on PM6 semi-empirical potential energy surface (PES).
