A convenient and general method has been developed for the synthesis of fully and diversely functionalized pyrans via one-pot three-component reactions of various aryl or heteroaryl aldehydes, malononitrile, and 1,3-dimethyl/1,3-diethyl-acetonedicarboxylates in the presence of a catalytic amount of sodium formate as an efficient organocatalyst in aqueous ethanol at room temperature. All the scaffolds were synthesized in Read More

The increasing environmental challenges posed by non-degradable plastics have spurred the development of biodegradable polymers as sustainable alternatives. This review explores the biodegradation processes, highlighting the role of microorganisms in breaking down polymers, and outlines the chemical transformations involved. Various factors influencing biodegradability, such as temperature, pH, and microbial Read More

The concept of bioelectricity has been known for over half a century. Its modern application in the form of a battery or fuel cell utilizing microbes and degradable organic molecules opens up a new domain of energy production in the form of Microbial fuel cells (MFC). This technology not only supports the sustainable development goals by being green and but also facilitates the utilization of a wide range of biosubstrates, leadi Read More

The objective of this work is to study MOFs with ligands containing thienothiophene groups as linkers and evaluate their practical application as sorbents for mercury removal from water. This evaluation will be compared with MOFs containing 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and terephthalic acid linkers.The study of Hg2+ sorption from solutions was carried out by shaking the MOFs (10 mg) with the solution at 25° Read More
