The temperature dependencies of (13)C NMR relaxation rates in [bmim]PF6 ionic liquid have been measured and the characteristic times (τc) for the cation reorientation have been recalculated. We found the origin of the incorrect τc temperature dependencies that were earlier reported for ring carbons in a number of imidazolium-based ILs. After a correction of the approach (13)C T1, the relaxation data allowed us to obtain the characteristic times for an orientation mobility of each carbon, and a complicated experiment, such as NOE, was not required. Thus the applicability of (13)C NMR relaxation rate measurements to the calculation of the characteristic times for reorientation of all the carbons of the [bmim](+) cation was confirmed and our findings have shown that a (13)C NMR relaxation technique allowed its application to ionic liquids to be equally successful as for other liquid systems.

An organomagnesium complex containing an imino-phosphanamidinate ligand was found to be a competent catalyst for the ROP of -LA and ε-CL as well as their copolymerization sequential addition of monomers, resulting in the formation of PCL--PLA diblock copolymer. The polymers obtained were characterized by H, C, DOSY NMR, DSC, TGA, POM, and SEM.

Evidence of C-bonds in solution is scarce, especially in highly polar solvents like DMSO where solvation effects typically overshadow weak non-covalent interactions. In this work, we present three novel spiroisatin-based -acyl hydrazones (1-3) in which C-bonds play a critical role in stabilizing the conformation in solution.

Wood modification using low molecular weight thermosetting resins improves the biological durability and dimensional stability of wood while avoiding increasingly regulated biocides. During the modification process, resin monomers diffuse from the cell lumen to the cell wall, occupying micropore spaces before curing at 150 °C. This study investigated the mechanism of cell wall diffusion at multiple scales, comparing two test groups where diffusion was either facilitated or restricted.

Water-lean absorbents are regarded as a new generation of post-combustion CO2 capture technology that could significantly relieve those drawbacks posed by traditional aqueous alkanolamines. However, the exponential increase in viscosity during CO2 absorption remains an urgent issue that needs to be resolved before their practical deployment. In this work, novel water-lean amines based on biomass glycerol have been devised as single-component CO2 absorbents with low viscosity (79~110 cP at 25 oC, 29~39 cP at 40 oC) under high capacity (12~18 wt% at 25 oC, 10~17 wt% at 40 oC).
