The aim of the presented work was to obtain a new type of homogeneous composite based on an industrial polymer (polybutadiene, PB) and a well-known inexpensive filler (carbon black P-234, CB). For this purpose, the reaction of oxidative chlorophosphorylation (OxCh) was used. This makes it possible to introduce CB into the cross-linked structure of the modified polymer and ensure optimal distribution of the filler in it. The structure and thermal stability of the composite synthesized by the OxCh reaction were studied. Analysis of the composite by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicates a uniform distribution of carbon black in the network structure of the matrix and the physical interaction of the phases of the composite. Ultraviolet-visible spectrum data confirmed the improvement in light absorption in a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum and the decrease in the optical band gap energy of the phosphochlorinated PB (PhPB) matrix with the addition of CB (Eg of PhPB=3.25 eV; Eg of PhPB/CB composite=2.28 eV). The influence of CB on the thermal stability of the PhPB matrix was studied using thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis. After thermal analysis, the char yield for PhPB was 41 wt%, and for PhPB/CB composite was 35.2 wt%. Compared to PhPB, the increase in char yield, the decrease in maximum thermal decomposition temperature, and the high-integrated thermal decomposition temperature for the PhPB/CB composite show the improvement in the thermal stability of PhPB due to CB.

Herein, we have reported the facile synthesis of various benzimidazole / benzothiazole by using DBU-Iodine-Iodide as a green and simple catalyst. The R2NH+I3 complexes have been formed by reacting an aqueous mixture of ammonium iodide and molecular iodine with the aqueous solution of amine. The structure of R2NH+I3 complexes has confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. The prepared amine-iodine complexes have screened as a catalyst in the synthesis of benzimidazole / benzothiazoles. Among the screened catalyst DBUH+I3complex has been found as an efficient catalyst. The synthesis of benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles has been achieved with the reaction of o-phenylene diamine /o- amino thiophenol and various substituted aryl aldehyde using DBUH+I3 as a catalyst. The present protocol has offered some advantages over other reported protocols such as the mild reaction condition, commercially available precursors, inexpensive catalyst, short reaction time, the broad scope of the substrate, high yield, simple isolation of the product, and environmentally benign method.

Waste hemp and flax fibers, and cotton and cotton/polyester yarns, available in large quantities from the textile industry, were used as cheap and effective sorbents for the removal of methylene blue from wastewater. Waste fibers and yarns were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, iodine sorption, water retention, and point of zero charge, as well as through the determination of crystallinity index and degree of surface crystallinity. Adsorption of methylene blue was optimized by examining the influence of contact time, initial concentration, temperature, and pH value. It was found that the more ordered structure of cotton and cotton/polyester yarns leads to lower adsorption capacities and better agreement with pseudo-second order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm model, while the more heterogeneous structure of flax and hemp fibers show higher capacities for methylene blue adsorption, better described by the pseudo-first order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm model. Based on the obtained results, waste lignocellulosic fibers and yarns can be utilized for the discoloration of wastewater, thereby solving the problem of waste generated in the textile industry.

Soil erosion is a problem that affects the landscape at different scales and represents a serious challenge for land management and soil conservation in both natural forests and meadows. The aim of this study was to determine how the parent material and land use affect the physical and chemical properties of the soil in the area of the Fruska gora Mountain. The soils were developed on five bedrock types: serpentinite, marl, trachyte, shale, loess and two land use types: forest and meadow. Twenty-three forest soil and 24 meadow soil from a depth of 0-20 cm were sampled from the Fruska gora Mt. Following properties were determined: pH, electrical conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential, content of organic carbon, sodium adsorption ratio, aggregate size and stability. There is no statistically significant difference in pH, Eh, EC, and SAR values between the analyzed forest and meadow soils, but there is a statistically significant difference in the content of Corg. It can be conculded that both the parent matrial, and to a slightly less extent, land use have a great influence on physico-chemical properties of the soil.

Non-viral chemical-based methods for in vitro cell transfection are commonly used to incorporate foreign gene of interest into mammalian cells due to numerous benefits - high efficiency, low cost and simple methodology. These powerful transfection methods generally do not possess safety risks as virus-based, and cell toxicity is significantly reduced. To obtain transfectants, host cells are usually treated with biocompatible DNA carriers such as calcium phosphate, cationic lipids, DEAE-dextran, polyethylenimine or dendrimers, classifying these methods based on chemical reagents used. All these different approaches are based on the similar principle, formation of encapsulated amphiphilic complexes between DNA and various particles, following cell uptake, most likely mediated by endocytosis. Depending on the aim and design of experiment, the choice of appropriate method is made. This review article outlines strategies of the most widely used chemical transfection techniques, pointing out advantages and limitations of different DNA carriers, as well as findings of researchers how to optimize and enhance efficiency of gene delivery procedure. With methodology constantly being improved, transfection methods described here find their main, biomedical application in gene therapy, a promising way to introduce functional copy of exogenous gene to genetically defective target cells.

New thiazole hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against a panel of human malignant cell lines. The key steps in the synthesis of hybrids 3-7 involved the initial condensation of appropriate aldononitriles with cysteine ethyl ester hydrochloride, followed by subsequent treatment of resulting thiazolines with DBU to form the thiazole ring. Bioiso-steres 8 and 14 have been prepared after the stereoselective addition of 2-(tri-methylsilyl)thiazole to the hemiacetals obtained by periodate cleavage of terminal diol functionality in the suitably protected D-glucose derivatives. The obtained analogues showed various antiproliferative activities in the cultures of several tumour cell lines. Hybrid 6 was the most potent in HeLa cells, exhibiting more than 10 and 4 times stronger activity than both leads 1 and 2, respectively. The most active compound in Raji cells was hybrid 12, which was nearly 2-fold more potent than the clinical antitumour drug doxorubicin. All analogues were more potent in A549 cells with respect to lead 1, while compounds 6 and 7 were slightly more active than DOX. Preliminary SAR analysis revealed that the presence of a cinnamate group at the C-3 position in analogues of type 7 increases the activity of resulting molecular hybrids.

(5R)-Cleistenolide and a few related analogues have been synthesized starting from d-glucose. The key steps of the synthesis included a Z-selective Wittig olefination and an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction with an inversion of configuration at the C-5 position. In vitro antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds was tested on a panel of eight human tumour cells and against a single normal cell line (MRC-5). The majority of tested compounds showed strong antiproliferative effects on certain human tumour cells and all of them showed negligible toxicity to normal foetal lung fibroblasts (MRC-5). The most active compound obtained in this work is lactone 5, which in MDA-MB 231 cell culture showed the same activity as doxorubicin (IC50 0.09 ?M). Strong antiproliferative activities of analogues 2, 5 and 6 were recorded in the K562 cell line (IC50 0.21, 0.34 and 0.33 ?M, respectively), in which they showed very similar activities to doxorubicin (IC50 0.25 ?M). A performed SAR study revealed that a change in the stereochemistry at the C-5 position may increase the activity of resulting stereoisomers.

A promising way to recover spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is the method of extracting transuranium compounds from molten salt, which makes it possible to obtain a partial separation between transuranium compounds and lanthanides. This work is devoted to the quantum mechanical study of changes in the structure, energy and electronic properties of the main SNF component, uranium dioxide, upon the removal of oxygen from the system. The influence on the considered properties of the system of the substitution of uranium by plutonium is also studied at a ratio of the number of plutonium atoms to uranium atoms of 1:7 and 1:3. The removal of oxygen leads to a narrowing of the band gap up to the transition to a conductive state at a ratio of uranium to oxygen of 2:3. The band gap narrows and metallization sets in even when uranium is replaced by plutonium. A two-stage UO2 metallization scheme based on lithium reduction and direct (electronic) reduction is proposed.

In addition to the subject-matter theoretical knowledge acquired during undergraduate and especially postgraduate studies future young scientists must also acquire the accompanying academic skills. This skillset will enable them to plan and conduct research in accordance with the scientific method, but also to present the results of that research in suitable forms. No result and no new knowledge derived from research is valuable in itself, as long as it is not presented to the scientific community and society as a whole. This dissemination is most often done through the peer-reviewed publishing in scientific journals. Hence acquiring the skill of writing scientific publications must be an integral part of education, eg. part of the acquired academic skills. However, currently that is not the case in all scientific environments and a significant number of (young) scientists and researchers do not possess all the necessary knowledge and skills to write academic articles, especially when it comes to the standard form and technical preparations. This skill-gap often results in a significant number of submitted papers to be rejected or sent back for resubmission even before they reach the Editor's desk. In an effort to provide an academic-writing-skill resource for young academics in the field of chemistry, this article, points out the general principles of a well-written and prepared paper, indicates the most common errors and omissions, and suggests ways to prevent them. In addition, the article is considering the current state of academic skills in, primarily, less developed scientific environments. and the causes of such a state.

Apatites, being one of the most numerous mineral-like families of compounds, are considered as a matrix for binding lead ions, which is dangerous for the biosphere. The crystal-chemical (composition, structure) and thermophysical aspects (thermal expansion) are considered as the basis for analyzing the properties of this kind of material. It is suggested that substances of the composition Pb5(AIVO4)2(BVIO4), Pb5(AIVO4)(CVO4)2 can be a perspective form of lead binding materials based on compounds with the structure of apatite (AIV = Si, Ge; BVI = S, Cr; CV = P). Such compounds, as it was shown by DTA and HTXRD experiments, are distinguished by the absence of polymorphism and abnormal ordering of the structure. Also, they have relatively low values of thermophysical indicators (the rate of change of linear thermal expansion coefficients is ~ 0.02-0.03?106 K-1 per K; values of the volume thermal expansion coefficients are 40-70?106 K-1). Compounds Pb5(SiO4)(PO4)2 (a = 9.78782(16) ?, c = 7.31084(16) ?, V = 606.555(23) ?3, R-bragg = 4.694 %) and Pb5(GeO4)(PO4)2 (a = 9.87697(12) ?, c = 7.33136(11) ?, V = 619.388(17) ?3, R-bragg = 1.730 %) were obtained, identified and crystallographically characterized for the first time.
磷灰石是数量最多的类矿物化合物家族之一，被认为是结合铅离子的基质，对生物圈是危险的。晶体化学(组成、结构)和热物理(热膨胀)是分析这类材料性能的基础。结果表明，Pb5(AIVO4)2(BVIO4)、Pb5(AIVO4)(CVO4)2组成的物质可能是基于磷灰石(AIV = Si, Ge;BVI = S, Cr;CV = P)。DTA和HTXRD实验表明，这类化合物没有多态性，结构有序异常。它们的热物理指标值也相对较低(线性热膨胀系数的变化率为~ 0.02 ~ 0.03?106k -1 / K;体积热膨胀系数为40-70?106 k - 1)。首次得到了Pb5(SiO4)(PO4)2 (a = 9.78782(16) ?， c = 7.31084(16) ?， V = 606.555(23) ?3, R-bragg = 4.694%)和Pb5(GeO4)(PO4)2 (a = 9.87697(12) ?， c = 7.33136(11) ?， V = 619.388(17) ?3, R-bragg = 1.730%)化合物，并进行了鉴定和晶体学表征。

The crystal-chemical (composition, structure) and thermophysical aspects (thermal expansion) are considered as the basis for analyzing the properties of this kind of material. It is suggested that substances of the composition Pb5(AIVO4)2(BVIO4), Pb5(AIVO4)(CVO4)2 can be a perspective form of lead binding materials based on compounds with the structure of apatite (AIV = Si, Ge; BVI = S, Cr; CV = P). Such compounds, as it was shown by DTA and HTXRD experiments, are distinguished by the absence of polymorphism and abnormal ordering of the structure. Also, they have relatively low values of thermophysical indicators (the rate of change of linear thermal expansion coefficients is ~ 0.02-0.03?106 K-1 per K; values of the volume thermal expansion coefficients are 40-70?106 K-1).
