An enthalpic value for the N-methyllactam/O-methyllactim isomerization, in the gaseous phase, is reported in this work for the conversion between 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine and 1,3-dimethyluracil. For this purpose, the enthalpy of formation of 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine, in the gaseous phase, was obtained experimentally combining results from combustion calorimetry and Calvet microcalorimetry, and the enthalpy of formation of 1,3-dimethyluracil, in the gaseous phase, reported previously in the literature, is also discussed. The enthalpy of hydrogenation of 1,3-dimethyluracil is compared with the enthalpy of hydrogenation of uracil and interpreted in terms of aromaticity, considering the influence of the hyperconjugation and the hindrance of the solvation of the ring by the methyl groups. The enthalpy of sublimation of 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine was obtained combining Calvet microcalorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry results. This enthalpy is compared with the enthalpy of sublimation of 1,3-dimethyluracil previously reported in the literature and analyzed herein. From the interplay between the experimental results and the theoretical simulation of dimers of these molecules, the influence of stereochemical hindrance on the in-plane intermolecular contacts and aromaticity on the π···π interactions is analyzed.

There is significant interest in monitoring abiotic decomposition of chlorinated solvents at contaminated sites due to large uncertainties regarding the rates of abiotic attenuation of trichloroethylene (PCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) under field conditions. In this study, an innovative passive sampling tool was developed to quantify acetylene, a characteristic product of abiotic reduction of TCE or PCE, in groundwater. The sampling mechanism is based on the highly specific and facile click reaction between acetylene and an azide compound to form a biologically and chemically stable triazole product.

At present, there are still certain limitations in the research on the pathways and phase contributions of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) to human exposure in the atmosphere. This study clarified the contribution rates of inhalation and dermal exposure of particulate and gaseous polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on a global scale, as well as their influencing factors and mechanisms. Data on gaseous PBDEs were collected from 125 cities across 38 countries and regions to predict size-resolved particulate exposure levels, utilizing our previous method for inhalation alongside a size-dependent prediction method for dermal exposure developed in this study.

Naphthalenediimide (NDI)-based donor-acceptor co-polymers with tunable electronic, optical, mechanical, and transport properties have shown immense potential as n-type conducting polymers in organic (opto)electronics. During the operation, the polymers undergo reduction at different charged states, which alters their (opto)electronic properties mainly due to the formation of the quasiparticles, polaron/bipolaron. The theoretical study based on quantum mechanical calculations can provide us with a detailed understanding of their (opto)electronic properties, which is missing to a great extent.

Chronic diabetic wounds present significant treatment challenges due to their complex microenvironment, often leading to suboptimal healing outcomes. Hydrogen sulfide (HS), a crucial gaseous signaling molecule, has shown great potential in modulating inflammation, oxidative stress and extracellular matrix remodeling, which are essential for effective wound healing. However, conventional HS delivery systems lack the adaptability required to meet the dynamic demands of different healing stages, thereby limiting their therapeutic efficacy.
