Summary: The lattice enthalpies and monotropic relationship between two DEHA polymorphs (forms I and II) were evaluated using DSC, isothermal solution microcalorimetry, and drop-sublimation Calvet microcalorimetry experiments. The standard molar enthalpies of transition between the two forms were determined through measurements of enthalpies of solution and fusion. The results suggested that form I is more stable than form II on enthalpic grounds and that the two polymorphs are monotropically related.

Summary: Natural pigments are widely distributed molecules in nature and play a significant role in our daily lives. In addition to their colors, they also have relevant biological properties associated with health benefits. Edible plant leaves, although less known as a source of natural pigments, contain a high variety of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and anthocyanins. This review critically analyzes the workflow used to identify and quantify these pigments in edible plant leaves using tandem mass spectrometry. Consistency issues in the methods used to extract and analyze these compounds are addressed. Mass spectrometry is a widely employed technique in metabolomics and will be discussed in the context of pigment identification and quantification.

Summary: This paper presents a novel measurement method based on the finite volume method (FVM) for measuring the concentration-dependent mutual diffusion coefficient D(C) in binary solution. The measurement principle was derived by integrating Fick's second law and establishing discretization equation. The method was validated through experiments and a semi-empirical correlation was built to study the temperature and concentration influences on the diffusion coefficient D.
