To develop conducting organic polymers (COPs) as luminescent sensors for determination of toxic heavy metals, a new benzene sulfonic acid-doped polypyrrole (PPy-BSA) thin film was electrochemically prepared by cyclic voltammetry (CV) on flexible indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode in aqueous solution. PPy-BSA film was characterized by FTIR spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical properties of PPy-BSA were investigated by ultraviolet (UV)-visible absorption and fluorescence spectrometry in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) diluted solutions. PPy-BSA fluorescence spectra were strongly quenched upon increasing copper(II) ion (Cu ) and lead(II) ion (Pb ) concentrations in aqueous medium, and linear Stern-Volmer relationships were obtained, which indicated the existence of a main dynamic fluorescence quenching mechanism. BSA-PPy sensor showed a high sensitivity for detection of both metallic ions, Cu and Pb , with very low limit of detection values of 3.1 and 18.0 nM, respectively. The proposed quenching-fluorimetric sensor might be applied to the determination of traces of toxic heavy metallic ions in water samples.

Two new phenyl-sulfonyl-indole derivatives, namely, -{[3-bromo-1-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)-1-indol-2-yl]meth-yl}--(4-bromo-3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide, CHBrNOS, (), and ,-bis-{[3-bromo-1-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)-1-indol-2-yl]meth-yl}benzene-sulfonamide, CHBrNOS, (), reveal the impact of intra-molecular π-π inter-actions of the indole moieties as a factor not only governing the conformation of ,-bis-(1-indol-2-yl)meth-yl)amines, but also significantly influencing the crystal patterns. For , the crystal packing is dominated by C-H⋯π and π-π bonding, with a particular significance of mutual indole-indole inter-actions. In the case of , the mol-ecules adopt short intra-molecular π-π inter-actions between two nearly parallel indole ring systems [with the centroids of their pyrrole rings separated by 3.

This study investigates the co-occurrence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) and their effects on the indigenous microbial communities in soils at a contaminated site with a history of petroleum refinery operations. PFASs concentrations were in the range of 5.65-6.

The reduction of abundant benzene rings to scarce C(sp)-rich motifs is invaluable for drug design, as C(sp) content is known to correlate with clinical success. Cyclohexenes are attractive targets, as they can be rapidly elaborated into large product libraries and are stable against rearomatization. However, partial reduction reactions of benzenes to cyclohexenes are rare and have a very narrow scope.

Initially, 4,4'-(1,4-phenylene)di(sulfonic)pyridinium tetrachloroferrate (PDSPTCF) as a novel organic-inorganic hybrid salt was synthesized and identified by elemental mapping, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, vibrating-sample magnetometry, and thermal gravimetric (TG) techniques. Then, the catalytic performance of this hybrid salt was assessed for the producing benzo[a]benzo[6,7]chromeno[2,3-c]phenazine derivatives via one-pot multicomponent domino reaction (MDR) of benzene-1,2-diamine, 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione and aldehydes under optimal conditions (70 °C, solvent-free, 5 mol% PDSPTCF) in short reaction times and high yields. Highly efficacy of the PDSPTCF for the production of benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-c]phenazines can be assigned to the synergistic effect of Lewis and Brønsted acids, and having two positions of each acid (i.

A diverse range of surfactants and chelating agents are frequently used in industrial processes, especially in the decontamination of nuclear facilities for decommissioning. To treat and degrade these organic pollutants, electrooxidation (EO) has emerged as a cost-effective method. Along these lines, in this work, a nanofibrous electrode was constructed to facilitate efficient EO.
