Ionic liquids (ILs) are emerging class of low-melting solid which have potential to replace conventional solvents. DNA is one of the primary targets of many synthetic agents which are classified as carcinogens; most of them bind to the DNA irreversibly causing mutation of the genome. Thus, it is essential to study the nature and mode of binding of new molecules to predict its toxicity. In the present study, we carried out photo-physical and computational studies on interaction of aqueous cholinium-based ILs (cholinium chloride, cholinium dihydrogen citrate, cholinium bicarbonate, cholinium bromide) with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA). The experimental (absorption and fluorescence) and docking studies indicated weak interaction between the cholinium-based ILs and double stranded ct-DNA, mainly through minor grooves. Since the strength of binding was quite weak, a safe nature of cholinium-based ILs could be expected. However, COSMO-RS studied carried out using individual DNA bases (A, T, G & C) and cholinium-based ILs showed propensity of the latter class of chemicals with the biomolecules. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Impact of social support on the dietary behaviors of international college students in the United States

Mohammed Alshehri, Aaron J. Kruse-Diehr, Justin T. McDaniel, Julie Partridge, Dawn B. Null

Summary: Lack of familiarity and social support may contribute to unhealthy dietary behaviors among international students in the US. Students from East Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as those with families that discourage healthy eating habits, are more likely to engage in unhealthy dietary behaviors. Living with immediate family members decreases the likelihood of receiving friend encouragement for healthy eating habits. Longer duration of stay in the US increases the likelihood of receiving friend discouragement for healthy eating habits.

Raoudha Soury, Marwa Chaabene, Ashanul Haque, Mahjoub Jabli, Khalaf M. Alenezi, Salman Latif, Fahad Abdulaziz, Amor Bchetnia, Christian Philouze

Summary: In this study, two new zinc-porphyrinic complexes with pyrazine as an axial ligand were successfully synthesized and extensively characterized. The crystal structure revealed a penta-coordinated environment around the zinc atom in the complexes. Weak C-H (...) Cg pi interactions were found to stabilize the complexes. Optical absorption studies confirmed their semiconducting nature. The fluorescence quantum yields and lifetime were not significantly affected by the axial ligand. Additionally, the ability of a dye to remove the free bases and metal complexes from solution was demonstrated. Density functional theory calculations showed charge transfer within the molecules.

Ashanul Haque, Khalaf M. Alenezi, Muhammad S. Khan, Wai-Yeung Wong, Paul R. Raithby

Summary: The design and development of functional materials with practical applications require high standards. Understanding and controlling inter- and intra-molecular interactions offer opportunities for designing new materials. Manipulating the molecular structure can significantly alter these interactions and enhance the properties and functions of the material. Non-covalent interactions (NCIs) have been found to have beneficial effects, indicating that manipulating NCIs can generate functional materials with various physical properties for applications in catalysis, drug delivery, crystal engineering, etc. This review aims to explore the implications of NCIs on molecular packing, optical properties, and applications of functional pi-conjugated materials. Additionally, it attempts to delineate the effects of weak interactions on opto-electronic (O-E) applications.

The results show that the parity of the photoactive dimer affects the width of the photonic bandgap and the blue-shift of the cholesteric phase. Additionally, the parity of the dimer also affects the layer spacing and two-dimensional periodicity of the liquid crystalline phases.

Artem A. Petrov, Ekaterina A. Titova, Aydar A. Akhmadiyarov, Ilnaz T. Rakipov, Boris N. Solomonov

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Surface adsorption of adenine on pristine and B/N/O/P-doped coronene as a biosensing substrate for DNA detection- DFT study

R. Aneesh Kumar, S. Jamelah Al-Otaibi, Y. Sheena Mary, Y. Shyma Mary, Nivedita Acharjee, Renjith Thomas, Renjith Raveendran Pillai, T. L. Leena

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

C. I. Alcolado, J. Poblete, L. Garcia-Rio, E. Jimenez, F. J. Poblete

Summary: In this study, the selective oxidation of aromatic aldehydes was investigated using Ru(VI) as a catalyst and hexacyanoferrate (III) as a cooxidant in an alkaline medium. The reaction mechanism involves complex reaction orders for the oxidant and the aromatic aldehyde, while the reaction order for Ru(VI) is one. The proposed mechanism includes two catalytic cycles and the formation and decomposition of complexes. Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis showed that deactivating groups in the para-position enhance the process.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

A sensitivity analysis on thermal conductivity of Al2O3-H2O nanofluid: A case based on molecular dynamics and support vector regression method

Hongyan Huang, Chunquan Li, Siyuan Huang, Yuling Shang

Summary: This study examines the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity of water-based alumina nanofluids to changes in concentration, sphericity, and temperature. The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.

Summary: This paper reports on the synthesis, structural characterization, spectral and nonlinear-optical properties of glass nanocomposites made of glass forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles. The study reveals that by exciting the nanocomposites within their absorption band, a control over effective optical nonlinearities can be achieved, allowing the modification of the magnitude and sign of the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient. The proposed strategy using metal-alkanoates based glass-forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of nanophotonics and plasmonics technologies.
