Spin trapping of nitrogen dioxide radical by several nitrones has been studied. The reaction results in the formation of persistent acyl nitroxides, after the oxidation of the intermediate spin adducts having an -ONO group on C-2 atom. The intermediate is effectively detected when DEPMPO is used as the spin trap. The reaction between PBN or 5,7-di-tert-butyl-3,3-dimethyl indoline N-oxide with nitrous acid gives the corresponding acyl nitroxide only when oxygen is present in the reaction milieu. On the other hand, nitroso spin traps do not trap *NO2 confirming that the unpaired electron of nitrogen dioxide is localized on the oxygen atom.

The maritime transport sector poses significant air quality concerns, particularly in nearby cities. Ultrafine particles (UFP, diameter < 100 nm) are of particular concern due to their potential health impacts. This study measured particle number concentrations (PNC), size distributions (PNSD), and other pollutants including particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NO), black carbon (BC), sulfur dioxide (SO) and ozone (O), organic markers and trace elements at a major European harbor and an urban background (UB) location.

The carbon dioxide (CO) capture and utilization strategy has emerged as an innovative and multifaceted approach to counteract carbon emissions. In this study, a highly porous muffin polyhedral barium (Ba) ̵ organic framework (BaTATB; HTATB = 4,4',4″--triazine-2,4,6-triyl-tribenzoic acid) was synthesized solvothermally. The three-dimensional honeycomb pore architectures were densely populated with Lewis acidic Ba(II) metal sites and basic nitrogen-rich triazines.

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Volatile-Mediated Insect Ecosystem Services.

Primary and secondary atmospheric pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO), ozone (O), sulphur dioxide (SO) and particulate matter (PM/PM) with associated heavy metals (HMs) and micro- and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs), have the potential to influence and alter interspecific interactions involving insects that are responsible for providing essential ecosystem services (ESs). Given that insects rely on olfactory cues for vital processes such as locating mates, food sources and oviposition sites, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are of paramount importance in interactions involving insects. While gaseous pollutants reduce the lifespan of individual compounds that act as olfactory cues, gaseous and particulate pollutants can alter their biosynthesis and emission and exert a direct effect on the olfactory system of insects.

Microwave Sensor with Light-Assisted Enhancement Based on TiCT MXene: Toward ppb-Level NO Detection Limits.

ACS Sens

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Integrated Optoelectronics, College of Electronic Science and Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130012, P. R. China.

Chemiresistive sensors are currently the most popular gas sensors, and metal semiconductor oxides are often used as sensitive materials (SMs). However, their high operating temperature means that more energy is required to maintain normal operation of the SM, resulting in an increase in power consumption of the entire sensing system. In order to solve this problem, a microwave gas sensor embedded with multilayer TiCT MXene and split ring resonator (SRR) for nitrogen dioxide (NO) detection was reported in this work.
