Therefore, the development of methodologies to obtain Hz synthetically will facilitate an in vitro evaluation of new anti-malarial drugs.
Methods: We present a methodology with good results to obtain Hz from fecal material of blood-sucking insects .
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the synthesis of two oligophenyleneimine pentamers, DAFCHO and FDACHO, which contain terminal aldehydes, using mechanochemistry methods and various diamines.* -
- The compounds were characterized using spectroscopy techniques (¹H and C-NMR, FT-IR, mass spectrometry) and displayed interesting photochromic properties in chloroform when exposed to sunlight, with notable energy band gap values measured.* -
- Electrochemical studies revealed their potential as organic semiconductors, with HOMO and LUMO values indicating favorable electronic properties, and findings were further supported by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.*
