At different temperatures, the binding of naphthol green B (NGB) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by the fluorescence spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum, synchronous fluorescence spectrum and ultra-violet spectrum. It was shown that this compound has a quite strong ability to quench the fluorescence from BSA. After analyzing the fluorescence quenching data according to Sterm-Volmer equation and Lineweaver-Burk equation, it was found that BSA had reacted with naphthol green B and formed a new compound, the quenching action was due to static fluorescence quenching, and the action force was electrostatic interaction. According to the Lineweaver-Burk equation and thermodynamic equation, the average value of the binding constant (KLe: 1.411 x 10(5) L x mol(-1)), the thermodynamic parameters (DeltaHtheta: -5.707 kJ x mol(-1), DeltaGtheta: -30.25 kJ x mol(-1) and DeltaStheta: 79.95 J x K(-1)) and the amounts of binding sites (1.258) were obtained, providing important information for the research on the configuration modification of BSA because of the added naphthol green B, biological effects in a living body, and the coloration mechanism of naphthol green B.

A variety of dearomatized compounds have been prepared in moderate to excellent yields from planar scaffolds using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as an atom-economical chlorinating agent. The method tolerates a broad range of functionalities and can take place in several green and/or sustainable solvents. Twenty-one examples of 1,1-dichlorinated products of dearomatized 2-naphthols and analogous heteroarenes (quinolinols, isoquinolinols, and quinazolinol) are reported along with five examples of monochlorinated dearomatized products.

This research presents an innovative approach for synthesizing 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives, utilizing 30 mg of NS-doped graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) as a catalyst in a one-pot, three-component reaction conducted in ethanol. The NS-doped GOQDs were synthesized using a cost-effective bottom-up method through the condensation of citric acid (CA) with thiourea and the reaction was carried out at 185 C, resulting in the elimination of water. The catalytic performance of the synthesized NS-doped GOQDs resulted in high product yields, achieving up to 98% for the 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives from aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, resorcinol, -naphthol, and dimedone.

Introduction: Laccases are blue-multicopper containing enzymes that are known to play a role in the bioconversion of recalcitrant compounds. Their role in free radical polymerization of aromatic compounds for their valorization remains underexplored. In this study, we used a pBAD plasmid containing a previously characterized CotA laccase gene (abbreviated as -Lacc) from strain ATCC 9945a to express this enzyme and explore its biotransformation/polymerization potential on β-naphthol.

The research on photonic synapses holds immense promise for various applications, such as robotics and artificial intelligence. Pursuing lightweight, miniaturized, and low-energy consumption designs is crucial for enhancing efficiency and adaptability in evolving technological environments. To achieve this goal, this work designs a series of conjugated self-assembled molecules with photoactive pyrene, benzo-naphthol-thiophene (BNT), perylene, and benzothieno-benzothiophene cores to develop ultrathin (<3 nm) charge-trapping self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).

This paper presents a validated method using ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-HRMS) for the simultaneous analysis of a wide range of natural and synthetic organic colourants, including neutral, acidic and basic dyes. In total, 30 natural and 62 synthetic organic dye reference samples (which contain 118 compounds because some of the dyes are composed of mixtures) were analysed. The method demonstrated good linearity for the 12 dyes selected for method validation achieving correlation coefficients (R) exceeding 0.
