Novel TEMPO and PROXYL derivatives reveal (quasi)reversible redox behavior. The EWG-substituents increase their oxidation potential in comparison to the EDG-groups. Unlike pyrrolidinyl derivatives, the piperidinyl nitroxides inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus sp.

AbstractMonodisperse oligo(phenylenevinylene)s end-capped with arylamines have been prepared via Horner Olefinations from bisphosphonates and arylaminobenzaldehydes. The influences of the conjugation length, different arylamine end groups, and of side chains with various electronic character on the electrical and optical properties of the chromophores are investigated. The elongation of the π-conjugated segment from 3 to 5 rings gives rise to bathochromic shifts of the electronic spectra and a slight increase of the oxidation potential. The same but more pronounced is true when the central electron donating ethers are replaced by the strong acceptor alkylsulfone. The electronic spectra of chromophores with triphenylamine and with N-alkylphenothiazines as end groups are quite similar, but the heterocyclic unit reduces the oxidation potential. The incorporation of a chromophor into a segmented copolymer has only negligible effect on the optical and electrical properties.

It has been known for some time that the addition of small oxide particles to an 80 Ni—20 Cr alloy not only increases its elevated-temperature strength, but also markedly improves its resistance to oxidation. The mechanism by which the oxide dispersoid enhances the oxidation resistance is being studied collaboratively by ORNL and INCO Alloy Products Company.Initial experiments were performed using INCONEL alloy MA754, which is nominally: 78 Ni, 20 Cr, 0.05 C, 0.3 Al, 0.5 Ti, 1.0 Fe, and 0.6 Y2O3 (wt %).Small disks (3 mm diam × 0.38 mm thick) were cut from MA754 plate stock and prepared with two different surface conditions. The first was prepared by mechanically polishing one side of a disk through 0.5 μm diamond on a syntron polisher while the second used an additional sulfuric acid-methanol electropolishing treatment to remove the cold-worked surface layer. Disks having both surface treatments were oxidized in a radiantly heated furnace for 30 s at 1000°C. Three different environments were investigated: hydrogen with nominal dew points of 0°C, —25°C, and —55°C. The oxide particles and films were examined in TEM by using extraction replicas (carbon) and by backpolishing to the oxide/metal interface. The particles were analyzed by EDS and SAD.

Abstract The paper addresses an electro-chemical method called wet oxidation potential technique for determining the susceptibility of coal to spontaneous combustion. Altogether 78 coal samples collected from thirteen different mining companies spreading over most of the Indian Coalfields have been used for this experimental investigation and 936 experiments have been carried out by varying different experimental conditions to standardize this method for wider application. Thus for a particular sample 12 experiments of wet oxidation potential method were carried out. The results of wet oxidation potential (WOP) method have been correlated with the intrinsic properties of coal by carrying out proximate, ultimate and petrographic analyses of the coal samples. Correlation studies have been carried out with Design Expert 7.0.0 software. Further, artificial neural network (ANN) analysis was performed to ensure best combination of experimental conditions to be used for obtaining optimum results in this method. All the above mentioned analysis clearly spelt out that the experimental conditions should be 0.2 N KMnO4 solution with 1 N KOH at 45°C to achieve optimum results for finding out the susceptibility of coal to spontaneous combustion. The results have been validated with Crossing Point Temperature (CPT) data which is widely used in Indian mining scenario.

: Furan and its derivatives find wide-spread application as pharmaceuticals, pigments, dyes, brighteners, flavour & fragrance compounds and insecticides. They also exhibit anti-hyperglycemic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-tumour activities. Silver catalysts are nowadays commonly used in organic synthesis due to the high oxidation potential and versatile nature of silver complexes. In this review, we summarise the recent advances in the synthesis and applications of furan moiety using silver catalysis and covers literature from 2015-2020.

The electropolymerization of 2,5-di(2-(thienyl)pyrrole) (SNS) on a Pt electrode from ethanolic solution with LiClO4 or LiCl as electrolyte has been studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). In both media, a quasi-reversible process has been indicated by CV, reversing the scan at low oxidation potentials. Under these conditions, reducible positive charges formed in both oxidized polymers are compensated by the entrance of anions from solution. Elemental analysis reveals that polymers generated at a low oxidation potential by CA contain a 21.03% (w/w) of ClO4- or a 9.56% (w/w) of Cl-. The poly(SNS) doped with Cl- presents higher proportion of reducible positive charges, higher polymerization charge and lower productivity. A much higher electrical conductivity, however, has been found for the poly(SNS) doped with ClO4-. Both polymers are soluble in DMSO, acetone and methanol. The dimer, trimer, tetramer and pentamer have been detected as soluble and neutral linear oligomers by mass spectrometry-fast atom bombardment. The analysis of polymers by infrared spectroscopy confirms the predominant formation of linear molecules with α-α linkages between monomeric units. A condensation mechanism involving one-electron oxidation of all electrogenerated linear and neutral polymeric chains is proposed to explain the SNS electropolymerization.

Neurotransmitter depletion and mitochondrial dysfunction are among the multiple pathological events that lead to neurodegeneration. Following our previous studies related with the development of multitarget mitochondriotropic antioxidants, this study aims to evaluate whether the π-system extension on the chemical scaffolds of AntiOXCIN2 and AntiOXCIN3 affects their bioactivity and safety profiles. After the synthesis of four triphenylphosphonium (TPP+) conjugates (compounds 2–5), we evaluated their antioxidant properties and their effect on neurotransmitter-metabolizing enzymes. All compounds were potent equine butyrylcholinesterase (eqBChE) and moderate electric eel acetylcholinesterase (eeAChE) inhibitors, with catechols 4 and 5 presenting lower IC50 values than AntiOXCIN2 and AntiOXCIN3, respectively. However, differences in the inhibition potency and selectivity of compounds 2–5 towards non-human and human cholinesterases (ChEs) were observed. Co-crystallization studies with compounds 2–5 in complex with human ChEs (hChEs) showed that these compounds exhibit different binging modes to hAChE and hBChE. Unlike AntiOXCINs, compounds 2–5 displayed moderate human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) inhibitory activity. Moreover, compounds 4 and 5 presented higher ORAC-FL indexes and lower oxidation potential values than the corresponding AntiOXCINs. Catechols 4 and 5 exhibited broader safety windows in differentiated neuroblastoma cells than benzodioxole derivatives 2 and 3. Compound 4 is highlighted as a safe mitochondria-targeted antioxidant with dual ChE/MAO inhibitory activity. Overall, this work is a contribution for the development of dual therapeutic agents addressing both mitochondrial oxidative stress and neurotransmitter depletion.
