Summary: Interfacial tension (IFT) and wettability are important factors in determining oil/water distributions and hydrocarbon production in reservoirs. This study investigates the effects of ionic liquids (ILs) on IFT and wettability in sandstone reservoirs. The results show that ILs can lower alkane-water IFT and influence the interaction between oil droplets and the quartz surface. Molecular dynamic simulations indicate that ILs can reduce the interaction energy between octane droplets and the quartz surface. These findings have promising applications in enhanced oil recovery and oil contamination removal.

Summary: Solutions of weakly coordinating ionic liquids (ILs) in alkyl carbonates have attracted attention due to their green solvents properties, but the understanding of ILs' phase behavior and structure in organic polar solvents is lacking. This study investigates the interactions and nanoscale structure of a specific IL, [BMIm][BARF], in alkyl carbonate solvents. The results show that [BMIm][BARF] is mostly undissociated in these solvents and the presence of rod-like nanostructures in the IL/solvent mixtures. The study also reveals that the self-assembly of nano-sized structures is hindered by slower ion diffusion in alkyl carbonates with lower dielectric constants. The findings have implications in various fields including batteries, catalysis, extraction, and bio-applications.

Summary: This study synthesized a hybrid material of TPA-POP and UiO-66-NH2 and evaluated its adsorption capacity. The results showed that the hybrid material achieved complete adsorption of BB41 dye within 60 minutes. The pseudo-second-order model provided the best fit for the kinetics, and the Langmuir isotherm yielded a maximum equilibrium adsorption of 260.7 mg/g. Furthermore, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms indicated a reduction in BET surface area due to hydrogen bonding between TPA-POP and UiO-66-NH2. The adsorbent demonstrated recyclability without significant activity loss.

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.

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.

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.

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.
