Context: The structural, electronic, and nonlinear optical properties of Verdoocridone A (Ver A) and B (Ver B) are examined theoretically in this study. The results showed that Ver A and B exhibit good electronic properties and can be used as new materials in NLO applications. According to their maximum absorption wavelength, Ver A (λ = 313 nm) enables production of vitamin D, while Ver B (λ = 319.

Owing to the desirability chosen, three responses were analysed, namely: the hydrochar yield, iodine and methylene blue numbers. The analysis of experimental results revealed that the hydrochar yield was decreased with increase in carbonization temperature which led to micropores formation inside the hydrochar network.

It came out from the study that all FLN@X-AP states investigated are spontaneously formed. Moreover, topological analysis demonstrated that the boron nitride FLN can strongly adsorbed the APs through B-N covalent interactions.

A noticeable affinity of the FLNs toward TMZ was observed along with the negative gas-phase adsorption energies -1.37 and -2.
