A flow-injection multisensor system (FIMS) comprising potentiometric sensors of different types for determination of free cyanide activity in basic solutions for extraction of noble metals was developed. The solvent polymeric membrane sensors based on metalloporphyrin and crystalline sensors were combined in the sensor system. The system allowed determination of cyanide activity in the range 10(-4)-1 mol l(-1) with an error less than 5% in individual cyanide solutions and acceptable precision (about 20%) in process liquids. The system was able to analyse up to 20 samples per h. The FIMS was also applied to detecting of silver ions in the presence of cyanide. Chalcogenide glass sensor was used as the detector that ensured the precision of 20%.

Interplay of Tetrel, Hydrogen, and Halogen Bonds in FGeOCl and HCN Complexes: A Comprehensive Theoretical Study of Dimers, Trimers, and Tetramers.

This study investigates the nature and interplay of noncovalent interactions (NCIs)─tetrel bonds (TB), hydrogen bonds (HB), and halogen bonds (XB)─in molecular assemblies formed between trifluorogermyl hypochlorite (FGeOCl) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Using a combination of high-level computational methods, we explored the geometric, energetic, and electronic properties of dimers, trimers, and tetramers formed in different molar ratios of interacting reagents. Various analyses reveal a significant cooperativity between TB and HB, which mutually reinforce each other, while XB interactions are diminished in the presence of TB and HB.

Laetrile is a semi-synthesis product of amygdalin, whereas amygdalin is a naturally occurring substance in many plants. Both compounds have a nitrile functional group that, when activated by the intestinal enzyme β-glucosidases, releases hydrogen cyanide.

Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) offers a promising therapeutic approach to mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction in conditions such as ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The quality and viability of donor mitochondria are critical to MTx success, necessitating the optimization of isolation protocols. This study aimed to assess a rapid mitochondrial isolation method, examine the relationship between mitochondrial size and membrane potential, and evaluate the potential benefits of Poloxamer 188 (P-188) in improving mitochondrial quality during the isolation process.

This research investigates the mechanism of the cyanide-type umpolung reaction in benzoin condensation using topological analysis of ELF and catastrophe theory. The study achieves a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of chemical bonds and non-bonding electron density in the reaction of benzaldehyde and cyanide ions. The results reveal that the reaction proceeds through five transition state structures, with the formation of Lapworth's cyanohydrin being the rate-determining step.
