Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) of methylene blue (MB) from industrial wastewater using benzoic acid (extractant) in xylene has been studied at 27 degrees C. The extraction of the dye increased with increasing extractant concentration. The extraction abilities have been studied on benzoic acid concentration in the range of 0.36-5.8x10(-2) M. The distribution ratio of the dye is reasonably high (D=49.5) even in the presence of inorganic salts. Irrespective of the concentration of dye, extraction under optimal conditions was 90-99% after 15 min of phase separation. The extracted dye in the organic phase can be back extracted into sulphuric acid solution. The resultant recovered organic phase can be reused in succeeding extraction of dye with the yield ranging from 99 to 87% after 15 times reused, depending on the concentration of the initial feed solution. Experimental parameters examined were benzoic acid concentration, effect of diluent, effect of pH, effect of initial dye concentration, effect of equilibration time, various stripping agents, aqueous to organic phase ratio in extraction, organic to aqueous phase ratio in stripping and reusability of solvent.

Salicylic acid is a member of benzoic acid derivatives, a group of compounds which have a backbone of C6C1 consisting of one carboxyl group and one (or more) hydroxyl group(s) attached to the aromatic ring. Salicylic acid is a signaling compound in systemic acquired resistance (SAR). An increased level of salicylic acid is found in the plant after a fungi's attack, which further induces the accumulation of phytoalexins, low molecular weight defense compounds.

2-{[3-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene] amino}-benzoic acid (HBIo) based on proton transfer can serve as the fluorescent probe for detecting heavy metal ions. The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction mechanism of the HBIo chromophore with an intramolecular asymmetric double hydrogen bond in different solvents are investigated. The reaction barrier of the ESIPT along hydrogen bond O1-H2···N3 is higher than that of ESIPT along O4-H5···N6, which indicates that the double ESIPT is a stepwise process.

The rapid upsurge of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has sparked profound interest in their potential as proton conductors for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. However, proton-conducting behaviors of hydrophobic MOFs remain poorly understood compared with their hydrophilic counterparts, largely due to the absence of a microscopic phase separation structure akin to that found in Nafion membranes. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy for regulating the structures and proton conductivities of MOFs by separately incorporating hydrophobic -C(CF)- group alongside hydrophilic -O- and -SO- groups into organic ligands as linkers.

Mechanochromic materials, known for their ability to change color in response to mechanical stimuli such as pressure, stretching, grinding, or rubbing, hold significant importance due to their diverse applications. In this study, we synthesized and characterized two novel pyridine-tethered imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine mechanoresponsive luminogens with appended tetraphenylethene, named GBY-10 and GBY-11. GBY-10 exhibited reversible mechanofluorochromism, while GBY-11 did not revert to its original color after solvent fuming.
