• Synthesis methods honoured
  

  This year’s Ruzicka Prize has been awarded to Christof Sparr, Assistant Professor at the University of Basel. The 38-year-old ETH alumnus was honoured for his outstanding achievements in the development of new synthesis methods. Christof Sparr was born in 1980 in Appenzell. He studied chemistry at E more

• A new Bose-Einstein condensate created
  

  Nearly a hundred years ago, Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose predicted that quantum mechanics can force a large number of particles to behave in concert as if they were only a single particle. The phenomenon is called Bose-Einstein condensation, and it took until 1995 to create the first such more

• Polymerisation pilot facilities can accelerate the development of biobased materials

  While the polymerisation of biobased monomers is an important step in making plastics, resins and coatings from plant materials which can compete with their fossil counterparts, there are currently no pilot facilities for this process available in the Dutch R&D ecosystem. Industry, regional bodies a more

• Innovative Vacuum Regulation for Rotary Evaporators
  

  Different methods of vacuum regulation in rotary evaporators are compared according to their benefit for the user. Essential criteria of such analyses are process time, rate of solvent recovery, ease of handling, and flexibility. Speed controlled dia more

Chemistry History

On this day in 1896, Wallace Carothers was born. Listed by C&EN magazine in their recent list of scientists who should have won a Nobel prize, we have Carothers to thank for nylon, which can be used in clothing, carpets, car parts and more. Here’s a quick look at the chemistry behind the discovery. more

• 4,4[prime or minute],4[prime or minute][prime or minute]-Triaminotriphenylamine-based porous polyimide as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst

  Aiming to develop a visible-light-driven polymeric photocatalyst that can be fabricated by an easy-to-scale-up polymerization method, a porous polyimide (PPI) with a specific surface area (SBET) of 79.3 m2 g−1 was synthesized by a facile polycondensation of 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dian more

• Microwave assisted one-pot synthetic route to imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives of imidazo/triazole clubbed pyrazole and their pharmacological screening

  An efficient synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives of pyrazole in excellent yield over a short reaction time based on a microwave-assisted, one-pot three-component condensation reaction of pyrazole aldehyde clubbed with imidazole 4 and triazole 5 nuclei, (substituted-phenyl/hetero-aryl)e more

• Selective and highly efficient synthesis of xanthenedione or tetraketone derivatives catalyzed by ZnO nanorods decorated graphene oxide

  ZnO nanorods decorated graphene oxide (GO/ZnO), having Bronsted and Lewis acid centers, was introduced as a selective, highly efficient and recoverable nanocatalyst for the pesudo three-component synthesis of diverse tetraketone or xanthenedione derivatives via condensation of aromatic aldehydes wit more
