The most commonly used homogeneous catalyst for fatty acid esterification is a corrosive sulphuric acid. However, this requires costly investment in non-corrosive equipment, presents a safety risk, is time consuming, and increases effluent generation. In this study, inorganic 3D heteroborane cluster strong acids are employed for the first time as homogeneous catalysts.

The accurate determination of acid/base constants (proton dissociation constants-p, or equivalently protonation constants-log) is essential for the physicochemical characterization of new molecules, especially in drug design and development, as these parameters thoroughly influence the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drug action. While pH/potentiometric titration remains the gold standard method for determining acid/base constants, spectroscopic techniques-particularly nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (as NMR/pH titrations)-have emerged as powerful alternatives for specific challenges in analytical chemistry, providing also information on the structure and site of protonation. In this study, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of protonation constants reported in the literature, measured using both potentiometry and NMR titrations.

Quantifying Lewis acidity is essential for understanding and optimizing the performance of Lewis acids in diverse applications. Next to the widely accepted Gutmann-Beckett (GB) method, using triethyl phosphine oxide (TEPO) as a probe, the Childs method-employing trans-crotonaldehyde (TCA)-gained attention as an NMR-based technique for measuring effective Lewis acidity (eLA). Despite its steady use, the robustness of Childs method and its correlation with other measures remain underexplored.

Background: Arterial blood gas (ABG) values are important in the assessment of critically ill patients. However, arterial puncture may be challenging to perform in these patients. The venous-to-arterial conversion method (v-TAC) is used to convert venous blood gas values to calculated values meant to resemble arterial values.

Background: Acid-base disturbances are frequently found in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Base excess (BE) is commonly used to quantify the degree of metabolic impairment. We aimed to compare the predictive value of BE and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score for mortality in ICU patients.
