There are more than 50 families of dendrimers, and some of which, such as polyamidoamine PAMAM, are well studied, and some are just starting to attract the attention of researchers. One promising type of dendrimers is sulfonimide-based dendrimers (SBDs). To date, SBDs are used in organic synthesis as starting reagents for the convergent synthesis of higher generations dendrimers, in materials science as alternative electrolyte solutions for fuel cells, and in medicinal chemistry as potential substances for drug transfer procedures. Despite the fact that most dendrimers are amorphous substances among the SBDs, several structures are distinguished that are prone to the formation of crystalline solids with melting points in the range of 120–250 °C. Similar to those of other dendrimers, the chemical and physical properties of SBDs depend on their outer shell, which is formed by functional groups. To date, SBDs decorated with end groups such as naphthyl, nitro, methyl, and methoxy have been successfully synthesized, and each of these groups gives the dendrimers specific properties. Analysis of the structure of SBD, their synthesis methods, and applications currently available in the literature reveals that these dendrimers have not yet been fully explored.

The 26th International Carbohydrate Symposium (ICS 2012) took place in Madrid, Spain from 22 to 27 July 2012. One thousand delegates and accompanying persons attended the meeting from all continents. The meeting was a tremendous success, gathering both senior scientists and several hundreds of young glycoscientists. This conference is the most important one in carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry, and the participants presented their latest contributions in the different aspects of the field. From organic synthesis to biomedicine, passing through structural aspects, molecular recognition features, materials science applications, and mechanistic biochemistry advances, among many others. From the chemical aspects, it is today evident that the glycochemistry field is alive and continuously expanding. Synthetic chemistry methods permit access to a variety of oligosaccharides, both neutral and charged, in amounts that in turn allow the study of their biochemical and biomedical properties at a level of complexity that was elusive a few years ago. Additionally, the latest advances in purification techniques together with the improvement in analytical tools permit working with pure glycoconjugates under many different experimental conditions. This multidisciplinary issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry gathers 10 representative contributions from eminent scientists working in the field. They encompass the different aspects described above. The importance of NMR techniques to unravel the conformation, dynamics, and molecular recognition features of oligosaccharides is described, as well as the importance of natural and modified saccharides as sources of new nanomaterials or molecular transporters. Organic synthesis methods together with enzymatic approaches are presented as complementary approaches to obtain saccharides and their glycomimetics, showing different properties as ligands and/or inhibitors and strikingly diverse structures. Modifications of polysaccharides to access novel biomaterials are also considered. Fundamental mechanistic aspects are described from the chemical and biochemical perspectives. Therefore, we feel that this PAC issue serves to show to the chemical community different aspects of modern carbohydrate chemistry, which is today at the cutting edge of diverse scientific disciplines and acts as a glue to bring together scientists with different expertise to tackle key problems for science and society.Jesús Jiménez-Barbero and Sonsoles Martín-Santamaría Conference Editors

Interest in graphene oxide nature and potential applications (especially nanocarriers) has resulted in numerous studies, but the results do not lead to clear conclusions. In this paper, graphene oxide is obtained by multiple synthesis methods and generally characterized. The mechanism of GO interaction with the organism is hard to summarize due to its high chemical activity and variability during the synthesis process and in biological buffers’ environments. When assessing the biocompatibility of GO, it is necessary to take into account many factors derived from nanoparticles (structure, morphology, chemical composition) and the organism (species, defense mechanisms, adaptation). This research aims to determine and compare the in vivo toxicity potential of GO samples from various manufacturers. Each GO sample is analyzed in two concentrations and applied with food. The physiological reactions of an easy model Acheta domesticus (cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative defense, DNA damage) during ten-day lasting exposure were observed. This study emphasizes the variability of the GO nature and complements the biocompatibility aspect, especially in the context of various GO-based experimental models. Changes in the cell biomarkers are discussed in light of detailed physicochemical analysis.

AbstractThe use of organic molecules as gelators in certain organic solvents has been the target of recent research in materials science. The types of structures formed in the gel matrix have potential applications as porous solids that can be used as absorbents or in catalysis. We will present and discuss the organogelation properties of a family of bis-ureas. Studies presented will include a molecule structure activity relationship, thermodynamic properties, comparison to x-ray crystallographic data and potential functionalization of the gels formed by this class of compounds

The Doctoral Thesis has been prepared as a collection of thematically related scientific publications comprising five publications in the SCI journals, one patent of the Republic of Latvia, and one application for patent of the Republic of Latvia. We have carried out fundamental research on the applications of SO2 as a solvent and reagent in organic synthesis. We have developed several novel synthetic methods that represent the use of liquid SO2 as a solvent for chemical transformations that proceed via carbenium ion intermediates: a) hydration of aryl acetylenes; b) hydrohalogenation of aryl acetylenes; c) ring opening of methylenecyclopropanes with halides; d) glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides. By employing DABSO as an SO2 surrogate, we have also discovered the catalytic activity of Ru(II) complexes towards sulfonylative cross coupling reaction. This finding has been applied for the synthesis of sulfonyl derived compounds.

This comprehensive textbook provides a modern, self-contained treatment for upper undergraduate and graduate level students. It emphasizes the links between structure, defects, bonding, and properties throughout, and provides an integrated treatment of a wide range of materials, including crystalline, amorphous, organic and nano- materials. Boxes on synthesis methods, characterization tools, and technological applications distil specific examples and support student understanding of materials and their design. The first six chapters cover the fundamentals of extended solids, while later chapters explore a specific property or class of material, building a coherent framework for students to master core concepts with confidence, and for instructors to easily tailor the coverage to fit their own single semester course. With mathematical details given only where they strengthen understanding, 400 original figures and over 330 problems for hands-on learning, this accessible textbook is ideal for courses in chemistry and materials science.

One-dimensional (1D) chain-like structures are of special significance because of their interparticle magnetic interactions and potential applications in various fields, such as micromechanical sensors. This paper attempts to review the field of research into magnetic chains including monatomic chains and nanoparticle chains. The synthesis methods used mostly belong to one of the following categories: magnetosome chains in magnetotactic bacteria, zero-field self-assembly, magnetic field induced (MFI) assembly, template-directed synthesis, and gas phase synthesis. The potential applications of nanoparticle chains, mainly in the field of magnetic recording media, sensor, biomedicine and magnetic-field tunable photonic crystal are discussed.

Structural materials have lagged behind other classes in the use of combinatorial and high-throughput (CHT) methods for rapid screening and alloy development. The dual complexities of composition and microstructure are responsible for this, along with the need to produce bulk-like, defect-free materials libraries. This review evaluates recent progress in CHT evaluations for structural materials. High-throughput computations can augment or replace experiments and accelerate data analysis. New synthesis methods, including additive manufacturing, can rapidly produce composition gradients or arrays of discrete alloys-on-demand in bulk form, and new experimental methods have been validated for nearly all essential structural materials properties. The remaining gaps are CHT measurement of bulk tensile strength, ductility, and melting temperature and production of microstructural libraries. A search strategy designed for structural materials gains efficiency by performing two layers of evaluations before addressing microstructure, and this review closes with a future vision of the autonomous, closed-loop CHT exploration of structural materials. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Materials Science, Volume 51 is August 2021. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
