Nucleophilic moieties in polysaccharides (PS) with distinct higher reactivity compared with the hydroxy group are interesting for sustainable applications in chemistry, medicine, and pharmacy. An efficient heterogeneous method for the formation of such nucleophilic PS is described. Employing alcohols as slurry medium, protonated carboxymethyl (CM) PS and hydrazine hydrate are allowed to react at elevated temperatures. The CM derivatives of starch and pullulan can be transformed almost quantitatively to the corresponding hydrazides. The reaction is less efficient for CM dextrans and CM xylans. As slurry media, 2-propanol and ethanol were probed, and the results are compared with a homogeneous procedure performed in water. Overall, the heterogeneous procedure is superior compared with the homogeneous route. 2-Propanol is the best slurry medium investigated yielding PS hydrazides with the highest nitrogen content.

Introduction: The lung environment is defined by unique biological boundary conditions, including complex alveolar geometry, extracellular matrix composition and mechanical forces generated during respiration. These factors were shown to regulate alveolar permeability, surfactant secretion, cell contractility and apoptosis, but their role in fungal infections remains unknown. is a critical fungal pathogen that causes severe pulmonary infections in immunocompromised individuals.

The development of new materials capable of converting carbon dioxide (CO) into value-added products has emerged as a crucial strategy in addressing global climate change and promoting sustainable industrial practices. As CO emissions continue to rise, innovative catalytic systems that facilitate its utilization as a C1 carbon source are gaining significant attention. Such advancements not only contribute to carbon capture and utilization (CCU) efforts but also support the transition toward greener chemical processes by reducing dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks.

Machine learning (ML) methods have emerged as an efficient surrogate for high-level electronic structure theory, offering precision and computational efficiency. However, the vast conformational and chemical space remains challenging when constructing a general force field. Training data sets typically cover only a limited region of this space, resulting in poor extrapolation performance.
