A solvent system was developed for selective isolation by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) of the benzoquinone 7α-hydroxyroileanone, 1, a bioactive diterpene from a dichloromethane extract of Tetradenia riparia leaves. Several solvent systems were initially studied, including hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water in several ratios, hexane-acetone-methanol-water, hexane-ethanol-water and hexane-acetonitrile-methanol, which gave recovery rates for the target compound between 13.4 and 35.9%. The new solvent system hexane-5% aqueous NaCO (1:1) was developed based on the chemical ionization reaction of the benzoquinone hydroxyl group in the basic pH of the carbonate solution, prompted by the extraction procedure used for the extraction of lapachol (a natural naphtoquinone) from a Tabebuia species wood. By using the HSCCC chromatograph as a liquid-liquid extractor with the above mentioned solvent system the recovery rate of 1 increased to 81.8%, affording the quinone with 97% purity.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and their biocompatible conjugates find wide use as transducers in (bio)sensors and as Nano-pharmaceutics. The study of the interaction between AuNPs and proteins in representative application media helps to better understand their intrinsic behaviors. A multi-environment, multi-parameter screening strategy is proposed based on asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4)-multidetector.

Nanoporous metals have unique potentials for energy applications with a high surface area despite the percolating structure. Yet, a highly corrosive environment is required for the synthesis of porous metals with conventional dealloying methods, limiting the large-scale fabrication of porous structures for reactive metals. In this study, we synthesize a highly reactive Mg nanoporous system through a facile organic solution-based approach without any harsh etching.

The development of efficient color conversion layers for μ-LED technology faces significant challenges owing to the limitations of materials that require binders. Binders are typically used to ensure uniform film formation in color-conversion layers, but they often cause optical losses, increase layer thickness, and introduce long-term stability issues. To address the limitations of materials requiring binders, cyclopropyltriphenylphosphonium manganese tetrabromide (CPTPMnBr) is synthesized, a novel lead-free metal halide.

Given that non-equilibrium molecular motion in thermal gradients is influenced by both solute and solvent, the application of spectroscopic methods that probe each component in a binary mixture can provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of thermal diffusion for a large class of systems. In the present work, we use an all-optical setup whereby near-infrared excitation of the solvent leads to a steady-state thermal gradient in solution, followed by characterization of the non-equilibrium system with electronic spectroscopy, imaging, and intensity. Using rhodamine B in water as a case study, we perform measurements as a function of solute concentration, temperature, wavelength, time, near-infrared laser power, visible excitation wavelength, and isotope effect.
