To explore sustainable catalysts with innovative mechanisms, the alkylation mechanism of o-xylene with styrene was studied using DFT method in AlCl-ionic liquid catalytic system. The reaction pathway was consisted of CC coupling and a hydrogen shift, in which two transition states were found and further discussed. The reactive energy catalyzed by superelectrophilic AlCl (12.6kcal/mol) was distinctly lower than AlCl (43.0kcal/mol), which was determined as the rate-determining step. Mulliken charge along IRC gave a comprehensive understanding of charge distribution and electron transfer in dynamic progress. Bond orders and AIM theory were used to study the nature of chemical bonds and the driving forces in different reaction stages.

The gas chromatography-mass spectrometer(GC-MS) metabolomics method was used to investigate the anti-radiation effect of Yiguan Decoction water extract on mice and explore its related pathways and mechanisms of action. Healthy SPF male mice from Kunming were randomly assigned to six groups: blank group, model group, positive drug group, and high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose groups of Yiguan Decoction, with ten mice in each group. Mice were prophylactically dosed for six days, and ~(60)Co γ ray with 5 Gy was used to establish a radiation mouse model.

Endogenous enzymes play a crucial role in determining fish product aroma. However, the attached microorganisms can promote enzyme production, making it challenging to identify specific aromatic compounds resulting from endogenous enzymes. Thus, we investigated the aroma transformation of Japanese sea bass through enzymatic incubation by controlling attached microorganisms during the lag phase.

The clothes and special equipment of firefighters can be a source of indoor air pollution. Nevertheless, it has not been investigated so far what the scale of the release of various compounds from such materials into the indoor air can be. The following study analysed the results of an experiment involving the passive measurement of concentrations of selected compounds, i.

Currently, soil odor-active substance screening and evaluation methods for contaminated sites are underdeveloped, with unclear treatment objectives and areas. Consequently, some sites suffer from odor issues during and even after remediation. This study focused on an organophosphorus pesticide factory site in Guangdong Province, China.
