In this compilation, the authors begin by highlighting the recent developments in asymmetric 1,4- and 1,2- additions to , ss-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The recent finding of Cu (I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,2-addition of Grignard reagents to , ss-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, as well as aromatic ketones, has categorically revolutionized catalytic asymmetric reactions.This compilation also aims to use the well-known coordination preference of zinc in phthalocyanine and porphyrin ligands in correlation with supramolecular systems. The light-absorption process in dye-sensitized solar cells...

The opening chapter discusses recent investigations carried out from the academia, industry and research organizations about technology in the treatment of aqueous solutions containing any type of metal.Chapter two describes naphthalene catabolism genes, their organization and function, and the role of extrachromosomal DNA in naphthalene oxidation. Factors affecting natural PAH biodegradation are estimated; model systems to study naphthalene and phenanthrene microbial utilization are presented in detail, focusing on mathematical modeling of biodegradation processes in the laboratory...

Advances in Chemistry Research. Volume 56 opens with a discussion on silica particles surface-modified by polyfunctional fragments containing acidic amino groups, specified for biomedical applications. Approaches to the immobilization/surface assembly of oligonucleotides on the surface of silica nanoparticles to create hybrid organic-inorganic particles are also considered. Following this, the authors investigate antituberculous compounds: isoniD Degreeszid, pyrazinamid, salinazid, vanilin isoniazid and their bioactive structural analog, p-aminobenzoic acid. The solubility of drug substances...

The influence of individual groups in the monomeric unit of polyamides on their physical properties is analyzed in the opening chapter of Advances in Chemistry Research. Volume 55. The following chapter focuses on selected aspects of the chemistry and biology of triclabendazole, and includes not only a description of the impact of the disease fasciolosis, but also the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of triclabendazole. The author of the penultimate chapter focuses on the catalytic reaction mechanism of H2 release by solvolysis, hydro-thermolysis, and thermolysis reactions of borates. Recent...

Advances in Chemistry Research. Volume 58 first characterizes electrochemical oxidation processes from an ecotoxicological perspective. This approach allows for the evaluation of the influence of electrochemical degradation parameters, such as electrode material or type of electrolyte, in the modulation of toxicity under different scenarios. Following this, the authors present a collection of existing knowledge on electro-fenton and anodic oxidation electrochemical processes. The choice of electrode materials plays an important role in both processes for better efficiency. A standardized...

This compilation opens with a study on the catalytic conversion of methanol to olefins, mainly SAPO-34 and ZSM-5, as well as the synthesis, properties, applications. A description of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase is presented in relation to structure, localization, expression, regulation, assay methods and the factors influencing phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity, as well as its importance to the phenylpropanoid pathway for plant growth and development. The authors critically analyze the development of molecular nanocatalysts based on organochalcogenligands and their applications in the...

Advances in Chemistry Research. Volume 60 opens with a chapter on MAssbauer spectroscopy, a spectroscopic method based on the MAssbauer effect, which can be defined as the nearly recoil-free, resonant absorption and emission of g-rays in solids. Next, the authors the chemical structure of various alkene oligomers, kinetic features of the oligomerization reactions, and applications of oligomer studies for the elucidation of the general mechanism of alkene polymerization reactions. The recent literature concerning self-assembled monolayers containing terminal glycans is reviewed, with a focus...
