Summary: Recent studies have shown that electrochemical grafting of diazonium salts is an efficient method for forming heterogeneous catalysts. This review aims to evaluate the industrial applicability of diazonium-based catalysts, focusing on their mechanical, chemical, and thermal stability. Various approaches to catalyst production using diazonium salt chemistry have been compared, and the most common deactivation routes of catalysts have been discussed. However, more research is needed to experimentally verify the stability and long-term catalytic performance of diazonium-based catalysts.

Summary: Bimolecular excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET*) was observed for the reaction between the triplet MLCT state of [(dpab)2Ru(4,4 '-dhbpy)]2+ and N-methyl-4,4 '-bipyridinium (MQ+) and N-benzyl-4,4 '-bipyridinium (BMQ+). The PCET* products, oxidized and deprotonated Ru complex, and reduced protonated MQ+ can be distinguished from other reaction products based on the difference in their visible absorption spectra. The observed behavior is different from the reaction between the MLCT state of [(bpy)2Ru(4,4 '-dhbpy)]2+ and MQ+, which involves initial electron transfer (ET*) followed by proton transfer (PT*).

Summary: We report a highly selective cascade reaction for the synthesis of highly functionalized dihydrochromenones. The reaction involves arylsulfonylation, radical cyclization, and selenylation of alkynyl cyclohexadienones. Aryldiazonium salts and DABSO are used as reactants, with DABSO also serving as a benign SO2 source and redox mediator. A visible light mediated protocol using diaryliodonium salts as reactants was also developed.

Summary: Strict control over surface chemistry is required to study and regulate cell behavior at a biomaterial interface. Understanding cell adhesion in vitro and in vivo is increasingly important in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This work explores the use of organic layers prepared by electrografting of diazonium salts and their functionalization with biologically active molecules to promote cell adhesion. The experiments showed that modifying electrodes with diazonium salts and poly-L-lysine enhances cell adhesion, making it a valuable strategy for integrating bioelectronic devices with neural cells.

Summary: Electrochemical reduction of diazonium salts on silicon electrodes of different crystal orientations has been studied. The kinetics of surface reaction and reduction potential were found to be dependent on Si crystal facets. The potential of zero charge (PZC) of each crystal orientation was found to control the adsorption of diazonium cations and influence the formation of compact films. The findings contribute to the understanding of the electro-polymerization reaction of diazonium salts on Si and its potential applications in integrated molecular and Si electronics technology.

Summary: Li-rich Mn-based cathodes have been considered promising for lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost and high energy density. However, their capacity degradation and operating voltage decline are major drawbacks. A solution proposed in this study is surface modification with benzene diazonium salts, which creates a stable interface between cathode materials and the electrolyte. The modified cathodes show excellent cycling performance, with a retention rate of 84.2% after 350 cycles at 1C current density, attributed to improved structural and interface stability.

Summary: This study investigates the use of anionic polyacrylamide hydrogels for the removal of cationic dye crystal violet from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption studies show that the maximum adsorption capacity of the dye is 378 mg/g at an initial concentration of 300 mg/L, pH = 5, T = 298 K, and 0.039 g of the adsorbent. The adsorption mechanism follows the pseudo-second-order model, and the equilibrium adsorption follows the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic analysis suggests that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Density functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamic (MD), and Monte-Carlo simulation studies were used to support the experimental findings.

Summary: Carbon nanocage structures, including fullerene, nanotubes, nanocapsules, nanopolyhedra, cones, cubes, and onions, have been extensively studied since the discovery of C60, and they hold great potential for investigating low-dimensional materials in an isolated environment. Boron Nitride (BN) nanomaterials, such as nanotubes, nanocapsules, nanoparticles, and clusters, have also been investigated and are expected to find applications in electronic devices, high heat-resistant semiconductors, nanocables, insulator lubricants, and gas storage materials. In this work, the interaction and electronic properties of octahedral B12N12 nanocage cluster covalently modified with alkyl and aryl radicals are analyzed using Density Functional Theory calculations. This study provides the first comprehensive investigation of the impact of grafted aryl and alkyl groups on the electronic properties, band gap, and density of states of B12N12, and it also presents the first complete description of these radicals attaching to the surface of B12N12 nanocage cluster.

Summary: Compatibility problems during the co-injection of corrosion and gas hydrate inhibitors in oil and gas pipelines were addressed using newly synthesized dual-purpose inhibitors (DPIs). Experimental and computational studies showed that DPIs effectively prevented gas hydrate formation and reduced corrosion rates on mild steel surfaces. Molecule dynamics simulations revealed that DPI2 disrupted gas transportation to hydrate cages and formed hydrogen-bonding networks for hydrate formation. These findings demonstrate the potential of DPIs for hybrid corrosion inhibition and gas hydrate prevention in flow assurance applications, leading to cost reduction.

Summary: This study investigates the inhibitory effect of a synthesized benzimidazole derivative organic compound on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution through experimental and theoretical methods. The experiments were conducted using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance (LPR), and potentiodynamic polarization. The results show that the synthesized inhibitor effectively inhibits the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution, particularly at the highest concentrations, with an inhibition efficiency of over 90%. The theoretical calculations also provide insights into the molecular adsorption and inhibition process.

Summary: In this study, a tetrafunctional epoxy resin called TGP was tested as a potential corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Various techniques were employed to investigate the corrosion inhibition process, including PDP, EIS, TE, SEM, EDS, and theoretical approaches. The results showed that at the optimal concentration (10(-3) M), the epoxy resin had corrosion efficacies of 85.5% (EIS) and 88.6% (PDP). The resin acted as an anodic inhibitor, forming a protective layer on the metal surface and preventing sulfur ion attack. DFT calculation and RDF, MC, and MD simulations provided further insights into the inhibitory efficiency of the epoxy resin.

Summary: This study presents the design and synthesis of sulfated disaccharide inhibitors based on IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S), which showed potent inhibition of Sulf-2. The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
