A regional mosaic of coevolution between Eurosta solidaginis (Fitch) as well as sponsor plant extra tall goldenrod Solidago altissima (L.).
The Hirshfeld surfaces like di,de,dnorm, shape index and curvedness of C18H18NOCl were pictured and discussed. The various levels of electronic transitions have been predicted by Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) calculations and compared with the recorded absorption spectrum. Molecular docking study was performed and reported for the synthesized compound against 4ey7 protein. Pb2+ and Cd2+ are the most ubiquitous heavy metal ion pollutants, and they have aroused much attention due to their irreversible and significant damage to human organ. In this work, a new fluorescein-based "OR-AND" logic gate colorimetric probe 3',6'-bis((tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy)-2-(2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)ethylidene)aminspiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one (FP) was designed and synthesized via attaching 2-(2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)ethylidene)amino and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl to fluorescein as the specific identification groups. This sensor can rapidly and sensitively discriminate Pb2+ and Cd2+ by utilizing F- as an auxiliary reagent. When Pb2+ or Cd2+ was added into the FP solution, the absorption band at 533 nm increased and the peak at 374 nm decreased, the color changed from colorless to pale-purple, resulting in a ratiometric spectral change. However, adding fluoride ion to the FP solution containing Pb2+ or Cd2+ resulted in a distinct phenomenon in which the pale purple color fades out to colorless for a Pb2+-containing solution and deepen to dark purple for a Cd2+-containing solution, which is attributable to the different coordination mechanisms. In aqueous solution, the detection limits of FP can reach 0.42 μM for Pb2+ and 0.53 μM for Cd2+. The probe exhibited rapid responses for these analytes. Moreover, FP was successfully used to rapidly detect trace amounts of hazardous Pb2+ and Cd2+ in tap water with good relative recovery and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were 1.8% for Pb2+ and 0.3% for Cd2+, providing a novel approach for detecting Pb2+ and Cd2+ in practical application. In this study, Raman spectroscopy has been employed for the characterization of two structurally different monodentate N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (ligand-1 and ligand-2) and their respective complexes (complex-1 and complex-2). The Raman spectral features are found helpful for the confirmation of formation of complexes. The significant Raman spectral features are identified for benzimidazole ring with higher intensities in carbene complexes having more polarizability as compared to their ligands, providing the evidence for the formation of coordinate covalent bond. The successful complexation is further supported by using multivariate data analysis technique, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which is found very helpful to highlight the variability of Raman spectral data of both ligands and their respective metal complexes from each other. Moreover, the coordination of carbene with Ag(I) is confirmed from the dominant spectral markers of higher intensities at 359 cm-1 in complex-1 and 338 cm-1 in complex-2. The effective and reliable characterization and confirmation of metal complexes indicates the potential of Raman spectroscopy for its use for the characterization of the organometallic complexes and other chemical products. Administration of low doses of nitrates over prolonged periods in patients suffering from coronary heart disease may lead to chronic methemoglobinemia, a disease caused by oxidation of hemoglobin. Previous reports have shown that natural products like curcumin, vitamin E, vitamin C, resveratrol, etc., are capable of inhibition of nitrite induced oxidation of hemoglobin. Hence in this study we aimed to investigate the preventive role of antioxidants present in our diet, like caffeine and catechin hydrate which are commonly found in coffee and tea towards methemoglobin (met-Hb) formation. Our study revealed that when the hemolysate was pre-incubated with equimolar concentration of caffeine and its metabolite with respect to nitrite, the rate of the nitrite induced oxidation of HbA decreased from (7.33 ± 0.54) × 10-5 min-1 to (7.09 ± 1.05) × 10-5 min-1 and (2.98 ± 0.06) × 10-5 min-1 respectively. Hence it was evident that the metabolite of caffeine, 1-methyluric acid, exhibited better efficiency at physiological concentration than its precursor. On the contrary, only 4 mM catechin hydrate could enhance the rate of methemoglobin formation even in absence of nitrite and the rate of the reaction was (6.088 ± 0.31) × 10-5 min-1 which is comparable with that of 400 μM nitrite. In this study, iron oxide (Fe2O3), tungsten oxide (WO3) and iron-tungstate oxide (FeWO4) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by simple precipitation, acid precipitation, and hydrothermal method respectively. All the spectroscopic analysis reveals that as-synthesized NPs are crystalline with a z-average size of 342, 313 and 373 d.nm respectively. The element compositions, shape and size of the NPs were identified with the help of SEM with EDX analysis. FTIR analysis concluded that the presence of functional groups on the surface of NPs and which responsible for capping and formation of NPs. Besides, the as-synthesized NPs have been used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of Methyl Orange (MO) dye under visible irradiation. FeWO4 NPs (98%) show more effective in the degradation of MO as compared to other NPs. Moreover, the degraded MO and its by-products were used to assess their toxicity on Vigna radiata and RAW 264.7 cell line and which were confirmed that degraded by-products were non-hazardous. Classification based on °API gravity is very important to estimate the parameters related to the extraction, purification, toxicity, and pricing of crude oils. Spectroscopy methods show some advantages over ASTM and API methods for crude oil analysis. The attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods has been applied as a quick and non-destructive method for crude oil analysis. In this work, a new analytical method using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy associated with chemometric methods were proposed for adressing regression and classification tasks for crude oils analysis based on °API gravity values. The designed methods are rapid, economic, and nondestructive ways in production process of oil industry. 4EGI-1 purchase The spectral data were used for estimation of °API gravity using two approaches according to PLS-R and SVM-R algorithm, separately. The ATR-FTIR spectral data were also analyzed by classification method using the partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) for crude oil classification.
