The solvation structure of yttrium (III) in dimethyl sulfoxide has been determined by studying both the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) regions of the Y K-edge absorption spectra. Although the EXAFS technique provides accurate information about the next neighbors coordination distances, no unambiguous determination of the coordination polyhedron is obtained. This failure is counteracted by the study of the near-edge part of the absorption spectrum (XANES) because of its high sensitivity to the bonding geometry. We have performed an extensive and systematic ab initio computation of the Y K-edge XANES spectrum of yttrium (III) in dimethyl sulfoxide within the multiple-scattering framework. The comparison between the experimental data and the theoretical calculations has demonstrated that the solvation sphere of the yttrium cation is best modeled by eight dimethyl sulfoxide molecules each oriented to give an Y-O-S angle close to 130 degrees .

This study systematically investigated the effect of organic solvent addition on the detection signal intensity of 15 organic pesticides in water using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The analysis of chromatographic peak area ratios in ultrapure water (UPW) versus 30% methanol (MeOH)-UPW showed that the adsorption effects (AEs, mainly from injection vials with weaker polarity) were the main factor influencing the detection intensity of the organic pesticides. The AEs varied with pesticide type and concentration, especially for those with high logK values and longer retention times, such as malathion, triadimefon, prometryn, S-metolachlor, diazinon, and profenofos.

The Pd-catalyzed multicomponent tandem reaction of β-ketonitriles, arylboronic acids and DMSO was efficiently developed, enabling access to a variety of poly substituted pyridines. The protocol shows excellent chemoselectivity, generating nicotinonitriles or symmetrical tetrasubstituted pyridines under different conditions by tandem cyclization of enaminone intermediates with β-ketonitriles or enolates, respectively, and does not require extra ammonias. This method boasts notable advantages, such as the use of commercially available or easily prepared substrates, simple conditions, a broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance.
