Microwave-assisted supramolecular double crosslinked chitosan-based molecularly imprinted polymer for synergistic recognition and selective recovery of Cd(II) and As(V) from water: Performance and mechanistic insights.

A novel model of the sustainable double crosslinked molecularly imprinted polymer (D-Crosslinked MIP) represented as a supramolecular imprinted polymer was synthesized via the bulk polymerization method. The primary crosslinking was fabricated using biomacromolecule chitosan as a functional monomer and glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. The primary crosslinked was subjected to dynamic interactions in a secondary crosslinking by binding AlO-NPs and TiO-NPs, forming the supramolecular D-Crosslinked-MIP.

Topically Applied Biopolymer-Based Tri-Layered Hierarchically Structured Nanofibrous Scaffold with a Self-Pumping Effect for Accelerated Full-Thickness Wound Healing in a Rat Model.

Wound healing has grown to be a significant problem at a global scale. The lack of multifunctionality in most wound dressing-based biopolymers prevents them from meeting all clinical requirements. Therefore, a multifunctional biopolymer-based tri-layered hierarchically nanofibrous scaffold in wound dressing can contribute to skin regeneration.

One pot synthesis of two potent Ag(I) complexes with quinoxaline ligand, X-ray structure, Hirshfeld analysis, antimicrobial, and antitumor investigations.

In one pot, the self-assembly of AgNO and 2-chloroquinoxaline (2Cl-quinox) in water-ethanol mixture afforded two novel crystalline Ag(I) complexes. The major product is the polymeric complex [Ag(2Cl-quinox)(NO)]; (1), while the minor product (2) comprises two molecules which are the monomeric [Ag(2Cl-quinox)(NO)]; (2a) and polymeric [Ag(2Cl-quinox)(NO)]; (2b) complexes. The single crystal X-ray structure revealed that 1 and 2b are made up of two-dimensional infinite sheets.

Sulphonated graphene catalyst incorporation with sludge enhanced the microbial activities for biomethanization of crude rice straw.

Biomethanization of crude rice straw (RS) was enhanced by a coupled effectiveness of sulphonated graphene (SGR) with sludge rich anaerobes (SRA). A reduction of 19.2 ± 1.

Fabrication and Characterization of Effective Biochar Biosorbent Derived from Agricultural Waste to Remove Cationic Dyes from Wastewater.

The main aim of this work is to treat sugarcane bagasse agricultural waste and prepare an efficient, promising, and eco-friendly adsorbent material. Biochar is an example of such a material, and it is an extremely versatile and eco-friendly biosorbent to treat wastewater. Crystal violet (CV)-dye and methylene blue (MB)-dye species are examples of serious organic pollutants.

Synthesis of two new silver(I) complexes with 3-bromoquinoline: Molecular structure, spectroscopic characterizations and DFT studies.

Two new Ag(+) complexes with 3-bromoquinoline (3BrQ) have been synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR and mass spectra. The studied complexes have the formula [Ag(3BrQ)(OAC)]; 1 and [Ag(3BrQ)3(TCA)]; 2 where OAC and TCA are acetate and trichloroacetate, respectively. Based on the DFT calculations, 1 and 2 showed distorted trigonal planar and distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry.

Molecular structure and spectral properties of ethyl 3-quinolinecarboxylate (E3Q) and [Ag(E3Q)2(TCA)] complex (TCA=Trichloroacetate).

A new [Ag(E3Q)2(TCA)] complex; (E3Q=Ethyl 3-quinolinecarboxylate and TCA=Trichloroacetate) has been synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. The molecular geometry and spectroscopic properties of the complex as well as the free ligand have been calculated using the hybrid B3LYP method. The calculations predicted a distorted tetrahedral arrangement around Ag(I) ion.
