Although 1-Ph2-X--1,2-CBH (X = F, Cl, Br, I) derivatives had been computed to have positive values of the heat of formation, it was possible to prepare them. The corresponding solid-state structures were computationally analyzed. Electrostatic potential computations indicated the presence of highly positive σ-holes in the case of heavy halogens. Surprisingly, the halogen•••π interaction formed by the Br atom was found to be more favorable than that of I.

In cold environments, such as polar regions and high latitudes, the freezing of aqueous solutions plays a crucial role in releasing and transforming nutrients, organic compounds, and trace gases. Freezing processes typically affect biogeochemical cycles and environmental processes by reducing the rate of chemical reactions. However, substantial studies have found that some chemical reactions may accelerate unexpectedly under freezing conditions.

Transmission imaging may become a possible advance for breast cancer screening with non-invasive, cost-effective, and radiation-free approaches for early detection. Frame accumulation can successfully eliminate the issue of low SNR, low grayscale and poor quality in transmission image. However, frame accumulation accuracy can be diminished because of inherent human body instability during image acquisition and the light absorption characteristics of breast tissue, resulting in distorted and misplaced image sequences.

This paper explores a novel group of D-π-A configurations that has been specifically created for organic solar cell applications. In these material compounds, the phenothiazine, the furan, and two derivatives of the thienyl-fused IC group act as the donor, the π-conjugated spacer, and the end-group acceptors, respectively. We assess the impact of substituents by introducing bromine atoms at two potential substitution sites on each end-group acceptor (EG1 and EG2).

The presented work discusses the highly efficient esterification of poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) with alkyl halides at room temperature. The esterification reaction was completed within 3 h, and the prepared γ-PGA esters were obtained with excellent yields (98.6%) when 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) was used as a promoter.

The first comprehensive analysis of halogenated organic compounds (HOCs), including 209 full congeners of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 26 organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs), 41 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and four other brominated flame retardants (BFRs), was performed on surface mangrove sediments from Bintan Island, Province of the Riau Archipelago, Indonesia. Among the measured HOC contaminants, the mean concentration of ∑PCBs (2.3±0.
