Abstract A microplot field experiment was conducted to study the effect of silicon sources and growth regulator against maize fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda at Thoppur village of Virudhunagar district during Rabi, 2021-22. Basal application of different doses of calcium silicate and foliar application of silicic acid and potassium silicate were carried out. The results revealed that 150 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 d after sowing (DAS) + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS was found to be effective in reducing fall armyworm (FAW) population (1.23 larvae/plant) followed by treatment with 75 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 DAS + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS (1.27 larvae/plant). Regarding leaf and cob damage, the treatment with 150 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 DAS + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS was found to be most effective and significantly superior over all other treatments by recording lowest mean leaf damage score of 1.63/plant and mean cob damage score of 1.13/plant followed by the treatment with 75 kg of calcium silicate/ha + 0.2% silicic acid at 15 DAS + 50 ppm GA at 30 DAS with 1.66 leaf score/plant and 1.35 cob score/plant.

Abstract In this research, we experimentally and numerically demonstrate the beneficial effect of superficial porous silicon layer in the optoelectronics properties of multi-crystalline silicon. The hydrogen and oxygen-rich porous silicon layer was formed using vapor etching method. From laser beam induced current (LBIC) simulations, we found that the hydrogen and oxygen-rich porous silicon layer used in mc-Si surface acts as a good surface passivation and a potential candidate for electronic quality and optoelectronics properties improvement. As a result, the generated current of treated silicon is 5 times greater as compared to reference substrate, which led to a 50% increase of the minority carrier diffusion length, 25% decrease in the recombination velocity of the minority carrier and the reflectivity reduced from 38 to 3% of the related sample.

Abstract In the current research study, the adsorbent efficacy of an aluminum carbide (AlC3) nanosheet for edifenphos fungicide is assessed for the first time. To explore the efficacy of AlC3 as an adsorbent system, several essential properties of edifenphos, AlC3, and the complex of edifenphos-AlC3 are investigated. Edifenphos has an interaction through its -P = O group with the Al atoms of AlC3 with adsorption energy (Eads) of approximately −34.46 kcal/mol. The charge-transfer process is investigated by carrying out the LUMO-HOMO analysis, which is further supported by the NBO analysis. The net value of charge transfer from the edifenphos to AlC3 in the most stable complex is about 0.526 e. In addition, during edifenphos adsorption on the AlC3 surface the energy gap (Eg) of AlC3 was reduced from 2.25 to 1.17 eV. Also, the solvation energy (Esol) values of edifenphos@AlC3 are calculated to be −40.29 kcal/mol, which indicates that edifenphos@AlC3 is stabilized by water via spontaneous solvation. Overall, the results demonstrate that AlC3 can be employed as an effective adsorbent system for edifenphos to treat different forms of wastewater. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract Bismuth(III) nitrate (Bi(NO3)3) has pharmaceutical applications and is usually produced from elemental bismuth dissolution in nitric acid (HNO3). However, if bismuthinite (Bi2S3), which is one of the main minerals of bismuth, is used to produce elemental bismuth, sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are produced, which are three of the air pollutants considered the most serious threats to human health and welfare. This communication takes a thermodynamic approach to examine and then suggests an environmentally friendlier procedure to produce Bi(NO3)3: the direct dissolution of Bi2S3 in 1 M HNO3 at room temperature (25 °C).

Abstract Some new aryl sulfones containing a cyclic imide moiety were synthesized using a cesium salt of Dawson-type tungstophosphoric acid (Cs5HP2W18O62) as an efficient catalyst under ultrasound irradiation. This efficient method affords the desired products in one step with high chemical yields. All structures of the products were proven by mass spectrometry and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The submission of the molecules to the Molinspiration software showed that they fulfill Lipinski’s rule of five. Moreover, molecular docking studies performed on the compounds against Staphylococcus aureus tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase and Candida albicans dihydrofolate reductase revealed the potential binding mode of the ligands to the sites of the appropriate targets. Some compounds were evaluated in vitro as antimicrobial agents against 16 strains. The results indicate that the tested molecules show a good activity at low concentrations (minimum inhibitory concentration = 0.125 µg/mL) against selected microbial strains. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract With the aim of better directing the polycondensation of oligomers during the synthesis of amorphous aluminosilicate xerogels by the sol-gel process using Na2SiO3, we reinforced the sols with K+ counterion and studied its effect on the physicochemical and structural properties of the xerogels using XRD, FTIR, N2 physisorption, SEM, EDX, and TGA techniques as well as quantitative analysis of the acid sites by N-butylamine adsorption followed by potentiometric titration. Based on the results, the introduction of K+ generated xerogels with good porosity and conferred resistance to matrix cracking. The amorphous character of the xerogels did not change after adding K+. FTIR spectra showed that the composition of the xerogels was improved after the addition of K+. Cation exchange and sulfur removal were much more efficient in the presence of K+ which improved the acidity of the xerogels. The best percentages of Si and Al were observed at the Na+/K+ ratios of 4 and 1.The enhanced xerogel prepared with Na+/K+ ratio of 1 gave a biodiesel yield of 80.44% at the optimum parameters and was used for three reaction cycles without significant loss of biodiesel yield.

Abstract One pot sequential reactions of silica gel with tetrachlorosilane/triethylamine mixture and after with the conical upper rim tetraphosphorylated tetrahydroxy(thia)calixarenes yielded porous organo-inorganic sorbents modified by spatially ordered phosphonate, phosphinate or phosphine oxide groups capable of co-operative binding of metal cations. The grafting improves efficacy of europium(III) sorption by the silica gels. DFT calculations of the calixarene-Eu3+ complexes predict a calixarene flattened cone conformation with the coordination of Eu3+ cation to three of four P = O oxygen atoms and one of the aromatic systems. Adding three water molecules excludes completely cation–π interactions. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

The International Symposium on the Organic Chemistry of Sulfur (ISOCS) series of symposia are prestigious international scientific events that have been scheduled biannually since 1964 (Liblice, Czechoslovakia) mostly across Europe and Japan. Attracting attendees from industry, government, and academia, past symposia have covered a fascinating range of sulfur chemistry from theory to practical applications. Coming off a successful ISOCS-28 in Tokyo, Japan chaired by Prof. Kei Goto, there was excitement to take the next ISOCS to Canada for the first time! The 29 International Symposium on the Organic Chemistry of Sulfur was originally scheduled for July of 2020 at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as were so many international events. The rescheduled symposium emerged at the University of Guelph in July, 2022 as a hybrid event, with 64 scientists visiting Guelph while 53 more were engaged live through the PheedloopVR conference platform. The opening Plenary lecture by Prof. Samir Zard set the standard for excellent chemistry that was maintained throughout the week, culminating with the closing plenary lecture from Prof. Goto, past Chair of ISOCS-28. The conference brought in-person participants from Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, UAE, the United States and Canada, while additional international online participation captured scientists from Austria, China, Denmark, India, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain and Turkey. In all, with 18 countries represented, there were 22 plenary/invited/industrial speakers, 48 contributed talks and 23 poster presentations. All lectures were recorded and the conference platform permitted postconference viewing of all oral and poster presentations. The manuscripts of this issue are representative of the high quality of the chemistry presented at ISOCS-29 and the reemergence of organosulfur chemistry across so many chemistry platforms. This volume displays content ranging from synthesis to mechanism to theory, and exhibits organosulfur chemistry relating to applications in catalysis, organometallic chemistry, bioconjugation, heterocycles and the pursuit of novel functionality. I wish to thank Martin Rudd the Editor-in-Chief of Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Silicon and the Related Elements for maintaining this Journal’s affiliation with the ISOCS series and for providing guidance during the assembly of this Special Issue. Conference organizers are thankful for the generous funding from within and outside of the University of Guelph, particularly the significant support and participation from industrial partners Arkema, Bruno Bock and Chevron-Phillips. The academic organizers are also thankful for the logistic support of Zach Henderson and his team at Guelph Conference Services. Finally, I wish to thank the local organizing committee who contributed greatly to this successful conference. I give special recognition to Prof. Jakob Magol
