Acrylonitrile (CH2CHCN) was first detected in dense molecular cloud SgrB2. The synthesis of this interstellar molecule is reported to be quite difficult. Therefore, in the present work an attempt has been made to explore the possibility of formation of acrylonitrile from some simple molecules and radicals detected in interstellar space by radical-radical interaction scheme, both in the gas phase and in the icy grains. All calculations are performed using quantum chemical methods with density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) level and Møller-Plesset perturbation theory at the MP2/6-311G (d,p) level. In the discussed chemical pathway, the reaction is found to be totally exothermic and barrier less giving rise to a high probability of acrylonitrile formation in Interstellar space.

For the purpose of efficient temporary plugging and self-removal of the plugging of reservoir formations, the thermally induced expandable and acid-generating temporary plugging agent (TAPA) was prepared with acrylonitrile (AN), methacrylic acid (MAA), ,-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA), and butyl acrylate (BA) as the shell monomers as well as the carboxylate esters with high boiling points as the core material. The TAPA was structurally characterized, and the properties were studied. The results showed that the TAPA had a good spherical structure with a median particle size (D50) of 16.

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic copolymer commonly used in the electronics, automotive, and construction industries. In the aquatic environment, the formation of microplastics from larger-sized plastic waste occurs naturally, induced by physical, chemical, and biological processes that promote the aging of these particles. Here, we investigated the interactions between the freshwater amphipod and ABS microplastics (10-20 μm) (pristine and after accelerated aging) over 7 days of exposure.

An efficient probe (E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-(9-ethyl-9 H-carbazol-3-yl)acrylonitrile (CZ-BTZ) for selective fluorescence "turn-on" response with cyanide (CN) ion sensor was developed by simple Knoevenagel condensation of 9-ethyl-9 H carbazole-3-carbaldehyde with 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl) acetonitrile. The sensing ability of probe CZ-BTZ was tested with different inorganic anions through spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods. The UV-vis and fluorescence spectral studies show the formation of a new adduct between CZ-BTZ and CN by appearing with a new absorbance band at 350 nm and "turn-on" fluorescence at 535 nm in CHCN: HO (8:2, v/v, pH 7.

Carbon black (CB) as rubber reinforcement has raised environmental concerns regarding this traditional petroleum-based filler, which is less susceptible to biodegradability. Although it has great reinforcing properties, the production technique is no longer sustainable, and its cost increases regularly. For these reasons, it is wise to look for sustainable replacement materials.

In the pursuit of developing potent α-glucosidase inhibitors for managing diabetes, a series of novel benzimidazole-acrylonitrile-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were designed. Sixteen derivatives (12a-p) were synthesized by varying substituents on the phenyl ring of the N-phenylacetamide moiety. Among these, compound 12m emerged as highly effective against α-glucosidase, displaying an IC value of 6.
