Reactions of sterically protected 2-bromo-3-phenyl-1-phosphapropenes with bases such as tert-butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide successfully afforded a bulky 1,4-diphosphafulvene (Mes = 2,4,6-tBu(3)C(6)H(2)) through a novel and formal dimerization pathway of 1-phosphaallene, together with small amounts of 3-phenyl-1-phosphaallene and 3,4-diphosphanylidenecyclobutene. The structure of the 1,4-diphosphafulvene was confirmed by X-ray crystallography indicating somewhat flattened phosphorus atoms due to the bulky Mes groups. The electrochemical properties of the 1,4-diphosphafulvene were investigated to show promising suitability as an electron donor, and indeed, it afforded a charge-transfer complex with TCNQ. Preparation and structural elucidation of an alkoxy-functionalized 1-phosphaallene was also performed, and the effect of the alkoxy group on the 1-phosphaallene moiety was characterized.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has great potential for laboratory blood tests. The overall aim of this study is to develop a microfluidic sensor for determining the physical properties and hematological parameters of blood based on its dielectric spectra. Impedance was measured in flowing blood to prevent aggregation and sedimentation at frequencies between 40 Hz and 110 MHz.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic compounds resulting from incomplete burning of organic materials. This work describes the successful layer-by-layer fabrication of a novel zinc oxide nanocomposite made of zinc oxide nanoparticles, aniline, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes on a stainless steel wire by electrodeposition. The coating and extraction conditions were screened, optimized, and validated using factorial design and central composite design, respectively.

The study aimed to develop a superhydrophobic coating on the aluminium alloy 2024-T3 surface. The desired surface roughness and low surface energy were achieved with SiO nanoparticles, synthesised via the Stöber method and modified with alkyl silane (AS) or perfluoroalkyl silane (FAS). To enhance particle adhesion to the alloy substrate, nanoparticles were incorporated into a hybrid sol-gel coating composed of tetraethyl orthosilicate, methyl methacrylate, and 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane.

Efficient management of soil nutrients is essential for optimizing crop production, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices, and addressing the challenges posed by population growth and environmental degradation. Smart agriculture, using advanced technologies, plays an important role in achieving these goals by enabling real-time monitoring and precision management of nutrients. In open-field soil cultivation, spatial variability in soil properties demands site-specific nutrient management and integration with variable-rate technology (VRT) to optimize fertilizer application, reduce nutrient losses, and enhance crop yields.
