The solvothermal reaction of zinc(II) nitrate with 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid (1,2,3-H3BTC) and 4,4ʹ-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)biphenyl (BIBPh) produced a crystalline solid {[Zn3(BIBPh)3(BTC)2]∙H2O}n. The product has been structurally characterised and investigated by X-ray diffraction, IR and thermogravimetric methods. The polymer has a bidimentional structure and crystallizes in the P21/c space group of the monoclinic system with the following unit cell parameters: a= 14.8687(16), b= 36.915(4), c= 13.8378(16) (Å), β= 105.584(6)°. The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure contains three zinc(II) ions, three BIBPh ligands and two BTC3- monodentate ligands with all three deprotonated carboxylate groups that balance the overall charge. All zinc centers have similar coordination environment: each metal ion is four coordinated exhibiting a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination, where two positions are occupied by oxygen atoms of the carboxylic acid and the other two by nitrogen atoms of imidazole subunits

The work was aimed at preparing the CA+A300 composite consisting of caffeic acid (CA) and fumed silica (A300) and at comparing the properties of CA in the solution and in the composite. The results showed that the solution and the composite are effective antioxidant/antimicrobial agents and that inclusion of CA in the CA+A300 composite provides its gradual release into solutions and reaction mixtures, thus ensuring a prolonged action of the compound.

The aim of the work was to study the isomerization of limonene on zeolite-containing biporous acid catalysts based on kaolin (from Ukraine). Results of this study show that at 160°C, the maximum isomer yield was 60–65% with an 80–90% conversion. The studied samples do not have a significant accumulation of carbonaceous deposits because limonene has high solubility, which helps to remove intermediate products of transformation from the surface of the samples.

A green and efficient method for the multicomponent synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and -thiones using acetic acid supported on activated charcoal as a mild acid catalyst in ethanol under both conventional as well as microwave irradiation conditions has been developed. The catalyst system found more efficient under microwave irradiation conditions than conventional conditions with shorter reaction times and excellent yields.

In this work new methods to obtain complexes from β-cyclodextrin and dehydroabietic acid with chromenol-triazol hybrid with the sizes limits of approximately 0.1-250 μm are reported. Kneading, co-evaporation and co-precipitation for the resolution of racemic 2-tert-butyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ol for obtaining micro- and nanoparticles have been optimized. In vitro dissolution studies of the synthesized compounds in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) showed an improved dissolution rate of chromenol-triazol hybrid in the inclusion complexes compared to the free form. The obtained β-complexes of β-cyclodextrin loaded with dehydroabietitoic acid and chromenol hybrid showed good antibacterial activity with MIC and MBC values ranging from 0.72 to 44.45 μM.

The composition of the lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts from the Feteasca Neagra ground seeds, grown in three different vineyards, was studied. The physicochemical indicators of the seeds, the oil quality indicators and the total content of polyphenols and flavonoids in the extracts were determined. Some phenolic and flavanol constituents were identified and quantified using reversed-phase HPLC by gradient-elution. The Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay proved the increased antioxidant activity of the hydrophilic extracts, with the highest DPPH• scavenging effect of almost 91.70 and 93.81%, an equivalent of 281.66 and 288.27 µM/L Trolox. It was concluded that the seeds recovered from Feteasca Neagra by-products are a rich source of functional compounds, with significant antioxidant properties.
