The complex TpBr3Cu(NCMe) catalyzes, at room temperature, the insertion of a nitrene group from PhINTs into the carbon-hydrogen bond of cyclohexane and benzene, as well as into the primary C-H bonds of the methyl groups of toluene and mesitylene, in moderate to high yield.

The separation of C cyclic hydrocarbons (benzene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane) is one of the most challenging chemical processes in the petrochemical industry. Herein, we design and synthesize a new SOD-topology metal azolate framework (MAF) with aperture gating behaviour controlled by C-Br⋯N halogen bonds, which exhibits distinct temperature- and guest-dependent adsorption behaviours for benzene/cyclohexene/cyclohexane. More importantly, the MAF enables the efficient purification of benzene from its binary and ternary mixtures (selectivity up to 113 ± 2; purity up to 98% +), which is the highest record for benzene/cyclohexane/cyclohexene separation to date.

AC plasmas directly excited within liquid hydrocarbons were investigated for the production of hydrogen and unsaturated C hydrocarbon in a recirculating liquid "jet" flow configuration. Arc discharges were excited at two different frequencies (60 Hz and 17.3 kHz) in C-C hydrocarbons (hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, and xylene) to produce H, CH, CH, and CH, along with liquid and solid carbon byproducts.

This study investigates the co-occurrence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) and their effects on the indigenous microbial communities in soils at a contaminated site with a history of petroleum refinery operations. PFASs concentrations were in the range of 5.65-6.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are an essential component of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines and genome editing therapeutics. Ionizable amino lipids, which play the most crucial role in enabling mRNA to overcome delivery barriers, have, to date, been restricted to two-dimensional (2D) architectures. Inspired by improved physicochemical properties resulting from the incorporation of three-dimensionality (3D) into small-molecule drugs, we report the creation of 3D ionizable lipid designs through the introduction of bicyclo[1.

Article Synopsis
- Biostimulating native microbes using fertilizers has been shown to significantly accelerate the biodegradation of synthetic crude oil in wetland environments.
- Researchers conducted experiments by exposing sediment microcosms to various conditions and found a marked increase in hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes in samples treated with both light synthetic crude oil and nutrients.
- The study highlights the effectiveness of nutrient amendments in enhancing the microbial community's capacity to degrade harmful volatile organic compounds, underscoring the potential for bioremediation strategies in freshwater ecosystems affected by oil spills.
