ABSTRACTMicrowave dielectric heating was utilized to synthesize potential host phases for halide radioisotopes. Synthesis of Pb5(VO4)3I was successfully achieved, without the use of a sealed container, using a modified domestic microwave oven (DMO) operating at 2.45 GHz. Rapid synthesis of Pb5(VO4)3X (X = F, Cl, Br) was also achieved using a commercially available microwave muffle furnace, also operating at 2.45 GHz. The combination of rapid heating rate and inverse temperature profile characteristic of microwave heating was found to promote formation of the target phases whilst retarding the volatilization of the halide species. Pb5(VO4)3I ceramic bodies produced in the DMO exhibited a heterogeneous zoned microstructure, whereas Pb5(VO4)3X phases with X = F, Cl, and Br fabricated in the microwave muffle furnace were dimensionally uniform suggesting this could be a promising route to fabricating single phase, dense halide containing ceramics.

The synthesis of 2-substituted indoles starting from the corresponding unprotected 2-alkynylanilines was made possible in 3% TPGS-750-M water using Pd(OAc)2 alone as the catalyst. The reaction was sensitive to the heating mode respect to the nature of the starting material as, in many cases, convectional heating was better than microwave dielectric heating. The MW (microwave) delivery mode had also an influence in the formation of by-products and, consequently, product yields. A tandem Sonogashira-cyclisation reaction was also accomplished using Pd(OAc)2/Xphos in the nanomicellar water environment.

The use of dielectric properties of agricultural products for sensing moisture in grain and seed and their application in radio-frequency and microwave dielectric heating is discussed briefly. Values for the dielectric properties of a number of products, including grain and seed, fruits and vegetables, and poultry products, are presented graphically to show the dependence of these properties on frequency, moisture content, and temperature. The potential for using the dielectric properties to sense quality factors other than moisture content is also considered.

The quaternization reactions of nicotinamide, with different electrophiles: methyl iodide and substituted 2-bromoacetophenones (4-Cl, 4-Br, 4-H, 4-CH3, 4-F, 4-OCH3, 4-Ph, 2-OCH3, 4-NO2) are reported. The preparations were carried out by conventional synthesis and under microwave irradiation in absolute ethanol and acetone. The synthesis performed by microwave dielectric heating significantly improved yield, up to 8 times, and shortened down the reaction time from ca. one day in conventional, to 10–20 min. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The compounds have been screened for antifungal activities against Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium culmorum, Macrophomina phaseolina and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum at concentrations of 10 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL. Six compounds showed the strong inhibition of mycelium growth at a concentration of 10 µg/mL. All tested compounds revealed the great inhibitory activities against S. sclerotiorum at a concentration of 100 µg/mL.
