How do the annealing temperature and time affect the activity of the compound?
Relevant answer
Answer
While the above is correct, the situation is really much more complicated. What happens during rapid thermal annealing (RTA) depends on temperature, time, the solid material and also athmosphere (vacuum, air, hydrogen, nitrogen or oxygen gas). You can eliminate lattice defects by vacancy migration but also enhance interdiffusion, segregation, nitridation or oxidation (depending on atmosphere) and can get formation of completely new phases that have different mechanical and electrical properties. That is the reason there are so many 'cooking recipes' for RTA. Sometimes they even differ for a given material depending on its doping, e.g. for n- and p-type GaN.

In synthetic organic chemistry, DMF is a powerful solvent and ideal for nucleophilic substitution reactions. However, because of its high boiling point and strong polarity, it becomes very difficult to remove from reaction mixtures.
What practical and effective methods do researchers use to remove DMF more easily during purification?
Relevant answer
Answer
First, dilute with water, then do solvent extraction using ether or ethyl acetate (depending on your products). Further extract this organic layer with water several times. In this way, you can remove major DMF solvent from the reaction mixture.

As news of this year's Nobel Prizes come out, I am left wondering what practical benefit some of these discoveries have outside understanding basic principles in the universe and chemical reactions, etc.
People in their busy and sometimes financially-stressed lives may see pots of money and honors being bestowed for innovative ideas, fabricated inventions, or other things the layperson really cannot grasp without some help. The public may continue to see science as frozen above their lives in an ivory tower if they do not have a place to visit, some web page, where the practical future value of a discovery, may be unpacked for them.
Or is there a role for the humanities in making a bridge between science and the public? Just a thought.
Any comments? Your input is always most welcome.

7 basic science discoveries that changed the world
Ozempic, MRI machines and flat screen televisions all emerged out of fundamental research decades earlier — the very types of study being slashed by the US government...
The polymerase chain reaction — the fundamental science behind infection-detecting PCR tests — originated from work on bacteria found in hot springs. Brain-imaging MRI machines emerged from the study of the fundamental physical properties of the atomic nucleus. Even flat-screen TVs have their roots in studies of chemicals that were isolated from carrots. These are just some examples of world-changing ‘blue skies’ research — now at risk from major government funding cuts in the United States — that was only later found to have wider applications...

Dear all,
I have discovered some egregious errors in the current version of the Web of Science.
According to his profile, the late world-renowned political scientist Ronald F. Inglehart is listed there with 136 documents, but this profile is completely incorrect, as it contains 16% erroneously listef items (eight articles in the field of oncology by a distant namesake, as well as four articles in dentistry, two in biochemistry, two in cell biology, one in chemistry, one in clinical neuroscience, one in immunology, one in general medicine, one in experimental medicine, and one in pathology).
If all this is to be the basis for university rankings, good night!
Relevant answer
Answer
The recent discovery of significant inaccuracies in the Web of Science database highlights a serious flaw in one of academia’s most trusted citation and indexing platforms. The case of the late political scientist Ronald F. Inglehart—whose profile incorrectly includes 136 documents, with nearly 16% wrongly attributed from unrelated fields such as oncology, dentistry, biochemistry, and immunology—exemplifies the extent of these “Web of Errors.” Such name-based misattributions not only distort scholarly metrics but also threaten the credibility of institutional rankings and bibliometric evaluations that rely on these data. If errors of this magnitude continue unchecked, the Web of Science risks becoming a “Web of Namesakes” rather than a reliable reflection of scientific contribution.

Answer
Dear Prof. Little,
  • Have you noticed or published any paper on isotope effect on polarity of (small) molecules? If you can post links to such paper(s) here, it would be very much helpful.
  • And from your link, HCN-CH4-C2H6 mixtures have been cooled down on earth-based experiment as well. Does the HCN crystal that formes in lab experiment appears to be isotopically enriched is H-(13C)(15N)? If yes, that would be a confirm proof of your theory. Have you tested acordingly or collaborated with the group who have done the lab experiment? or are you planning to run the experiment yourself?
  • Does you rule apply for other inorganics as well and do you wish to experiment it yourself alternatively?if yes, how? For example, brine drilled from oil rig might have different isotopic signature than seawater, but if briny crude oil is washed well with water, then residual salt remaining in crude oil will have significantly different isotopic signature than salt going to water. Or if this effect is very low-T effect, then salt crystals washed with liquid methane, CO2, nitrogen etc would have significantly different isotopic signature of 'dissolved salt'. You can do this with polar-nonpolar salts/compounds as well, like MSG or ring-opened caprolactam. Partition them in water and hexane (for example at room temperature, or down to -80 C for BMIMBF4) and measure their isotopic signature!

Sumit

Hello, I would like to ask about the exact chemical structure of pheophorbide a after saponification process of chlorophyll using KOH. Will the resulting structure carry one or two K⁺ ions? I ask because I have found two different versions of the pheophorbide a structure in the literature: one where C13¹ has a keto group (C=O) and another where it is represented as a hydroxyl group (–C–OH). In the first case, only the carboxyl group at C17 would be deprotonated and bind K⁺, while in the second case it seems possible for both the carboxyl and the enol/hydroxyl at C13¹ to be deprotonated, resulting in two K⁺ ions attached to the molecule. Which representation is considered correct after saponification with KOH?
Thank you in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
Though keyo-enol tautomerism is reversible, for most carbonyl compounds, at equilibrium keto form is the most stable. At final neutralized saponified pheophorbide, final product has two K+ ions, one at C17 carboxylate and one at enolate-oxygen.

Innovations in Slag Chemistry and Handling in Electric Steel Arc Production
Relevant answer
Answer
Innovations in slag chemistry and handling have transformed the efficiency and quality of electric arc furnace (EAF) steel production. Slag protects molten steel from oxidation, absorbs impurities, and regulates heat transfer in steelmaking (Maguire et al., 2018). Tuning slag composition by controlling the CaO, SiO₂, and Al₂O₃ content improves slag fluidity and reactivity, facilitates non-metallic inclusion removal, and decreases energy consumption. Tailoring slag chemistry per steel grade diminishes contamination and precisely refines reactions to desired metallurgical properties.
Efficient slag handling ensures optimal slag creation, removal, and reuse. Automated slag detection and tapping systems coordinate slag timing and volume, controlling for slag is not taken into the steel and lost (Kumar & Singh, 2020). Slag granulation and solidification recycle byproducts (e.g., valuable cement and concrete components), promoting environmental sustainability. Appropriate slag management reduces environmental pollution during tapping and steel refining by removing harmful gases and particulate matter.
Progress toward real-time monitoring and slag chemistry integration to optimize the EAF process. Real-time sensors capable of measuring temperature as well as slag composition let for dynamic adjustments and control plans that maintain consistent slag properties all through the heat (Zhang et al., 2019). Process control techniques lessen the consequences of raw materials and operational variances on resulting metallurgy. Such advancements underpin the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of EAF steel production.

I set up an walk in and then I observe the reaction and the wavefunction collapses! Or a fly observes it ! Again, the Schoedinger equation does not define a collapse of wavefunction or what an 'observer' is -human or fly. So, chemists can monitor a progress of a reaction so Mutiple observations 'collapses the system in part. Schoedinger's cat half dead or half alive which originally to show the absurdity of some quantum interpretations.

Marcus theory is important method to study electron transfer reactions. There is an important equation for calculation of reorganization of solvation ( ). However, when I refer to references, I didn't find what's the unit of parameters in this equation shown in the figure.

HI Team,
We are doing Chemi Luminance trial for southern blot, this trial actual replacing the p32. In Chemi trial we are using 1M of maleic acid as part the protocol and my question are did maleic acid have properties to absorb the radiation? because our Chemi waste bottle tip of the mouth giving radiation signal. Iam unsure about this maleic acid. and iam definitely sure there is no p32 contamination. Please I need some clarification to help me out.
Relevant answer
Answer
Based on your description, it’s highly unlikely that maleic acid is the source of the radiation signal you're detecting at the waste bottle, as maleic acid does not possess any radioactive properties nor does it absorb or emit radiation. In your chemiluminescent southern blot trial, where you're replacing P32 with a non-radioactive detection method, such as DIG-based chemiluminescence, the signal you're seeing is most likely due to residual chemiluminescent substrate (like luminol or its derivatives) and HRP enzyme activity in the waste. These components can continue to emit light for some time after disposal, and sensitive detectors or radiation monitors, especially if not specifically designed to distinguish between ionizing radiation and low-level light emission, can falsely interpret this as radiation. If you're using a Geiger counter calibrated for beta emissions and it’s giving a signal at the bottle tip, double-check that no surfaces or gloves were contaminated with previous P32 work, though you mentioned you're sure there's no such contamination. To confirm the signal's source, try isolating the chemiluminescent waste from your detector or switching to a detector that specifically distinguishes radiation from light emission. In short, maleic acid is not the issue, t's more likely a false signal caused by lingering chemiluminescent activity or detector sensitivity.

Define Stoichiometry
Elaborate the use of stoichiometry
Relevant answer
Answer
Stoichiometry otherwise be called as Chemical Process principles, leads to the quantification of reactants and products. Stoichiometry not only deals with Material balance, but also with Energy balance. In Chemical industry it is generally called as H&MB.
Stoichiometry was first discovered and the term coined by Jeremias Benjamin Richter, a German chemist, in 1792. He was the first to quantify the relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions, laying the groundwork for the principles of stoichiometry used today.
Stoichiometry is of two types.
1. Material balance involving no chemical reactions. Simple example is to convert 98% concentrated sulphuric acid to 30% concentrated acid how much water should be added.
2. Material balance involving chemical reactions uses Reactants and Products balanced equation + Energy Absorbed (Endothermic) or Energy released(Exothermic) A +B = C + D (Both sides are balanced)
3. Stoichiometry is the basis of design for reactors, furnaces and other such unit operations.
Significance.
1. By understanding stoichiometric ratios, chemists can optimize reaction conditions to maximize yield and minimize waste.
2. Stoichiometry enables scientists to calculate the amount of product that will be formed from a given amount of reactants.
3. Stoichiometry is essential for understanding the chemical reactions that occur in the environment
4. In medicine, stoichiometry is used to calculate the correct dosages of drugs, ensuring effective treatment while minimizing side effects.

Hi, I am collecting RP-HPLC data using Shimadzu Labsolutions Version 5.71 SP1.
Every time I do the postrun PDA analysis, I have to manually remove unwanted peaks, e g. below retention time=4.5 min, etc. Basically, I am only interested in 3 peaks, at time=4.5, 6.5 and 11min. Besides, I need to copy the peak table one by one to my excel file for data processing and then graph plotting. It seems that I can only export each LCD data file into ASCII format one by one.
1) Is there anyway I can remove the unwanted all at once for all, say, 40 LCD data files, instead of editing it one by one in the software?
2) Is there any way to bulk export my data? The main purpose is just to ease data processing and cleaning, if it would.
3) Is there anyway to bulk export all forty chromatograms at once?
Thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
In Shimadzu LabSolutions Version 5.71 SP1, the terms "Processing Method" and "Batch Processing" may not appear explicitly in the menu, but the equivalent functions exist under Postrun Analysis and Data Analysis. Here’s where to find them:
1. Removing Unwanted Peaks in Bulk
Since LabSolutions doesn’t have a direct "Batch Processing" function, you can apply "Data Analysis Method" to multiple files:
1. Open LabSolutions Postrun
Go to [Postrun] in the software.
2. Set Up a Data Processing Method to Remove Unwanted Peaks
Open one chromatogram.
Click "PDA Data Processing" or "Quantitative Processing" (depending on your setup).
Go to "Peak Integration" and adjust parameters:
Set a retention time filter to only integrate peaks at 4.5, 6.5, and 11 min.
Save this as a New Processing Method.
3. Apply the Method to All Files at Once
In Postrun, go to File → Batch Processing Settings (or "Batch Recalculation" in some versions).
Select all 40 files and apply your saved processing method.
This will automatically remove unwanted peaks across all files.
---
2. Bulk Export of Peak Table Data
LabSolutions does not allow exporting peak tables in bulk directly, but you can automate it:
1. Export Peak Table in ASCII Format (For Each File):
Open [Postrun] → [Peak Table].
Click "Export" → Choose ASCII (.txt) or CSV (.csv) format.
This needs to be done per file, but you can automate it with a script in Excel.
2. Automate Bulk Data Import into Excel:
Save all ASCII/CSV files in one folder.
In Excel, use Power Query (Data → Get Data → From Folder) to import all CSV files into one sheet for further processing.
---
3. Bulk Export of Chromatograms
1. Export Multiple Chromatograms as Images/PDF at Once:
In Postrun Analysis, go to File → Export Chromatograms.
Select multiple files.
Choose output format (PDF, PNG, JPEG).
If this menu is not available, another workaround is to use "Batch Printing":
Go to Postrun → Print → Batch Print and save as PDFs instead of printing.

Should Matric results show separate Physics and Chemistry marks instead of 'Physical Sciences'?
Relevant answer
Answer
There are compelling arguments supporting each approach; however, the final decision hinges on the objectives of the educational framework. Should the primary goal be to establish a comprehensive foundation and streamline evaluation, it would be logical to consolidate the grades under 'Physical Sciences.' Conversely, if the intention is to deliver precise, subject-specific evaluations and adhere to international benchmarks, distinguishing the grades for Physics and Chemistry would prove more advantageous.
A middle-ground strategy, such as providing detailed academic records or allowing for optional separation of grades, may serve as an effective compromise to accommodate both viewpoints.

I am doing a mechanochemical synthesis and trying to find the induction time of the reaction. Thus, I take samples every 30 seconds and inject each sample into the HPLC to detect the time required for the product to form. I see the baseline of HPLC is just mostly noise for all the samples that have been reacted for 2 mins. But at 2.5 min, I start to see a very small rise in the retention time that corresponds to the compound. The height of the peak is then further increased as the reaction time increases.
The problem is, that this peak (reaction proceeded for 2.5 min) at 6.25 min is noticeable but very, very small. The baseline noise fluctuates at an amplitude of 0.075 mAu while the peak height is merely 0.1 mAu (measured from the supposed baseline to the tip of the peak). I have been using this method to do quantitative analysis of the product and it is 100% sure that it is the compound, but not some ghost peak, injection peak or random noise. So, can I say it takes about 2.5 minutes for the product to form? Is the peak too small to be counted as a "real" peak? I don't think the traditional LOD works here because I am not trying to quantify it but only to do qualitative analysis.
To determine the induction time, the product concentration would be very very low and the peak would thus be very small as well and outside the calibration curve. But is there a standard such as "if the product concentration reaches 1 mg/ml? 1 ug/ml? 1 ng/ml? the product starts to form" or "if the peak reaches 1 mAu? 2 mAu? then the product starts to form at this X number of time approximately?"
Note 1: I know that people use time-resolved PXRD to determine the change in crystal structure, but wouldn't that also depend on the "concentration of change in crystal structure"? If the concentration is too low, you won't be able to see on the PXRD diagram. Also, HPLC is the only method to analyse this sample. PXRD, GC-MS and NMR can not do it.
Note 2: The compound only absorbs UV strongly at 195 nm. An increase beyond 205 nm would essentially have no peak.
Note 3: The HPLC method is a 100% aqueous salt solution with an ion-pairing reagent on a polar C18 column
Note 4: In the picture, the peak is very small and the baseline noise is huge it is because I zoomed in a lot to see it and it is only the start of product formation. After 30 mins of reaction time, the product peak height reaches 50 mAu and you won't see a noisy baseline anymore.
Relevant answer
Answer
I think you should take each compound separately and measure it, then mix them together to notice the reaction time. You can also reduce or increase the sample flow time to get a good result.

Numerical studies on fluid flow using nanoparticles like Al₂O₃, TiO₂, and MoS₂ have been carried out in several academic publications. Still, the value of electrical conductivity used in these studies differ greatly. While some research consider these nanoparticles to be conductive and cause numerical modeling to be inconsistent, others perceive them as insulators. Correct simulations depend on a consistent supply of experimental or theoretical data on the electrical conductivity of these nanoparticles as a function of temperature. Could someone recommend books or research papers with thorough conductivity values for various nanoparticles?
Relevant answer
Answer
Aluminum oxide is predominantly an insulator. Its electrical conductivity is quite low, primarily because it is an ionic compound with a wide band gap of about 8.8 eV. At ambient temperatures, its conductivity is negligible. However, when subjected to high temperatures, the ionic mobility increases slightly, which can enhance its conductivity. This effect is typically due to the increased vibration of lattice ions that can slightly be displaced from their positions, creating vacancies and allowing for minimal charge transport.
TiO₂ is a semiconductor with a band gap of approximately 3.2 eV for its rutile phase and 3.0 eV for the anatase phase, making it inactive for visible light without modification. Its conductivity increases with temperature due to increased carrier generation; thermal energy excites more electrons from the valence to the conduction band. Additionally, defects within the TiO₂ structure, such as oxygen vacancies, can act as charge carriers, enhancing conductivity as the temperature rises.
MoS₂ is a layered semiconductor with a band gap of about 1.2 eV to 1.8 eV depending on the number of layers (bulk to monolayer). It exhibits a transition from indirect to direct band gap as it moves to monolayer thickness. MoS₂’s conductivity is also temperature-dependent, where increasing temperatures increase intrinsic carrier concentration. At elevated temperatures, phonon scattering increases, which generally increases the mobility of charge carriers.
Summary For all three materials, the conductivity at different temperatures can be explained through their intrinsic electronic structure and how temperature influences phenomena such as carrier mobility, carrier concentration, and defect dynamics. These materials respond differently to temperature changes based on their crystal and electronic structures. As temperature increases:
- Al₂O₃ shows a minimal increase in conductivity due to ionic displacement.
- TiO₂ experiences enhanced conductivity primarily through increased electron-hole pair generation and defect-mediated transport.
- MoS₂ sees an enhancement in conductivity, particularly due to increased intrinsic carrier concentration and changes in electron mobility.

Gold and platinum (and other metals such as Pd) salts are easily reduced to the (colloidal) metal. Absorb solutions of such metals onto a porous plastic and they'll decompose within a day.
BTW, HAuCl4 is not found as such - it's a hygroscopic water-containing structure usually formulated as HAuCl4.xH2O.
Similarly, in aqueous solution we have PtCl4·5(H2O) - the pentahydrate.

Hi,
I have a leach solution with Li present as LiOH. I did lime water leaching of material but also leached impurities such as Zn, Cr and Al with it. The pH of the solution is around 11. Now I want to remove the impurities and the literature suggests using ion exchange resins to remove them. The ion exchange resins would require pH adjustment to around 6-7 which might also alter the chemistry of dissolved LiOH, and I do not want that. So how should I proceed? Is there any other way I should explore to remove those impurities?
Relevant answer
Answer
Ph 6-7 will not affect LiOH. That is by definition.

While working on my laterite samples, I came across a problem. Following the digestion protocols we made the volume with approx. 100 times dilution and started the ICP-MS measurements. The concentrations went down after measurement of 2-3 samples. The reason was a clogged pore. Citing the presence of trace and REEs in very low concentrations we can't go for further dilution so is there any way to remove Fe from the matrix without disturbing other elements?

I need to find a proper method to prepare sample solution by digestion for Pt-Pd-Rh elements from spent automotive catalysts. Any suggestion except application of microwave-assisted digestion would help me.
Relevant answer
Dear college,
In the determination of platinum group of elements in Pt catalyst samples can be used different decomposition procedures.
Please, pay attention, that the analytical evaluation function is assumed to be straight line through the origin. There are is not spectral interferences. But the correct calibration from the point of view of multiplicative interferences means a precise matching of the acid in both the reference and sample solutions.
I recommend the decomposition procedure in the determination of platinum group of elements in Pt catalyst samples because the platinum group of elements must be dissolved in aqua regia, but in the end of the dissolution procedure, the final sample solution contains Pt, Pd and Rh in hydrochloric acid only in an appropriate acidity, because the undissolved material (γ-alumina+silicates) has settled down. Under these conditions you must prepared the calibration solutions for Pt, Pd and Rh with hydrochloric acid in an appropriate acidity.
With kind regards, N. Daskalova

La isoterma de Langmuir representa una adsorcion fisica o quimica?
Relevant answer
Answer
I think, Langmuir adsorption model can describe both physical and chemical adsorption.
The exact meaning of adsorption sites can differ in this cases (for chemisorption, it can be physical number of atoms/molecules of specific chemical species, whereas for physisoprtion the number of sites can just reflect the maximal number of adsorbate atoms/molecules that can "fill" the surface due to their finite lateral "size").
The binding energy is also substantially different that may give a trivial asymptotic limit in the model for chemical or physical adsorption.
Let's make some estimations. As it is often mentioned, the binding energy for physisorption is usually 10⁻²–10⁻¹ eV, whereas it is usually 10⁻¹–10⁰ eV for chemisorption. In the Langmuir adsorption model, the fractional occupancy θ depends on the temperature T, chemical potential μ and binding energy ε as
θ = [1 + exp(−(μ+ε)/kT)]⁻¹,
and 1/kT ≃ 40 eV⁻¹ for T ≃ 300 K, μ/kT ~ –16 (estimation for an ideal gas at 1 atm pressure). So, the difference in the value of ε in 1–2 decimal orders can correspond even to opposite asymptotic limits in the fractional occupancy vs the bulk concentration dependence θ(n) — a constant 'high concentration' limit θ ≃ 1 of for a high binding energy and a linear 'low concentration' asymptotic limit θn for a low binding energy.
For the estimations I presented, only moderate binding energies ε ~ 10⁻¹ eV per site can give the fractional occupancy values somewhere between the asymptotic limits of θ(n). This case may correspond to quite a weak chemical bond or a strong physical attraction.

I run mechanochemical reactions that involves the use of a large amount of catalyst (1:1 molar ratio to the reactant). When I try to understand the effect of amount of catalyst on the reaction, I find it very hard to get consistent results when I control the the ball to powder mass ratio (I am using the same number of balls, but keeping the total powder mass the same while adjusting the mass between the reactant and catalyst). This makes me think that I should probably control ball to powder volume. However, even though I know the rough bulk volume of two things at the beginning, the powder volume will always increase by an unknown amount once it is milled. So how should I control my reaction??
Relevant answer
Answer
It is not easy to define the controls of your reaction. Don't think you can use a simple control or two to define your experiments. Breifly, you should consider the controls of mass, volume, particle size distribution (PSD), surface property (not all inclusive) of catalyst and reactant, as well as their ratios to define your reactions.

Hi, I am a PhD student working at Jagiellonian University, Faculty of Chemistry. My work is related to the development of new analytical methods for the quantification of short-chain fatty acids in biological samples. In my research, I used a gas chromatograph (Shimadzu GC-2030 Nexis) coupled with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Shimadzu TQ-8040). I developed a new GC-MS/MS method for the quantification of short-chain fatty acids, but I have a problem with the carry-over effect. After injection of high concentrations of analytes, such as 10 ug/ml, I observed peaks from the analytes in the blank sample. The problem is a little bit reduced when I frequently change the solvents (water and ethanol) and utilize a long washing procedure after injection, but it still exists. The current washing procedure includes 4x8µl H2O, 4x8µl EtOH, and 4x8µl EtOH. In addition, sequence – 20x8µl H2O, 20x8µl EtOH, and 20x8µl EtOH were utilized for extra washing following the analytes with the highest concentration.
Do you have some experience with the carry-over effect in the GC-MS/MS system and some suggestions to solve my problem?
Relevant answer
Answer
Syringe wash is not the only approach to clean Your system. If You inject "dirty" samples the whole injector (including tubing) might get dirty. A solvent injection between the samples should will help in most cases....... If there are ghost peaks it might help to prolong the GC program.

Apparently, the inclusion of Remdesivir in mesoporous nanoparticles, as such or at the stage of their synthesis. is not good idea, due to the instability of R and, possibly, its low bioavailability.

Here is one case: I want to perform X + Y in the presence of Z catalyst in a 50 mL milling jar with 8 12 mm milling balls and investigate whether the the amount of catalyst affect the yield of the product. So, I change the amount of catalyst from 1 molar equivalent to 3 molar equivalent as compared to X. However, this will change the total volume of powder as well. And as we all know, when the volume changes, the kinetic energy delivered from the ball to the material will not longer be the same. Less energy will be delivered to the powder and the kinetics of the reaction will be affected by this.
I've read that the milling load in a mechanochemical reaction is defined as the total powder mass divided by the void volume in the jar (jar total volume - volume of balls)
In the case I mentioned before, should I (1) keep the amount of everything the same and increase the amount of the catalyst as what it should be, basically ignoring the effect of volume and just do the experiment or (2) Readjusting the mass of all samples to keep the total mass the same as before to maintain the same milling load as before (as a result, it will decrease the mass of the reactant) ???
Relevant answer
Answer
One of the most important parameters in any mechanochemical reaction (ball milling) is the ball to powder ration (BPR). What I personally do and I find to give consistent results is keeping the powder volume constant (which means if I have to change the ration of 2 or 3 components I readjust it in order to keep the same BPR).
In case the amount of your catalyst is negligible compared to the total volume (mass) of the powder you can ignore it.

I extracted protein from a roasted food sample using alkaline extraction followed by acid precipitation. Polyphenols were always coextracted since they were covalently bound with proteins during roasting and the formation of covalent bonds were irreversible. How can I know how abundant covalently-bound and noncovalently-bound polyphenols are in my protein extracts? I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any suggestion or guidance.
Relevant answer
Answer
To proof that a small molecule is covalently bound to a polymer is very challenging. I was in similar situation when I tried to bind polyphenols covalently to chitosan. Generally, the polyphenols in your washing solution were either non-covalently bound or the covalent bond was cleaved during washing. The unremoved polyphenols are not necessarily bound covalently, as non-covalent interactions can still be too strong.
You could try to depolymerise your protein (e.g. by enzymatic hydrolysis) and then analyse the fragments (e.g. by LC-MS). If you find a fragment with the polyphenol bound covalently, you have a proof.

Most of the researchers use to teach at university. In some careers, professionals who exert their profession without doing research share teaching spaces. When I was a chemistry student, 100% of my teachers were researchers ranging from PhD candidates to experts in their respective fields. While it may seem logical for researchers to be the best candidates to teach in fields such as chemistry or biology, what about healthcare-related fields like medicine, pharmacy, or biochemistry? Who is better suited to lead a class, a researcher or a professional, or both, each one in different subjects? We can distinguish between basic and clinical subjects. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on this matter.

Answer
Being a proficient researcher doesn't necessarily equate to being a better professor. While research expertise can enhance teaching by bringing current knowledge and real-world applications into the classroom, effective teaching requires distinct skills such as communication, empathy, and the ability to engage students.
A good professor balances both research and teaching responsibilities, tailoring their approach to meet the needs of their students while contributing to their field through research. However, being a successful researcher doesn't guarantee effective teaching, as teaching requires its own set of abilities and dedication.

I'm not sure, but I think you did a great job of answering your own question... 'Charting the afterlife?" Answer; Why?' Somethings can't be known. Or, even if we were explained, would we have a hope of understanding the answer? Every morning on the way to work I ask the Universe for a special watch over some friends and family (including my most recent 'best friend' Chihuahua) who have 'recently' passed. I know that they are soaring the Universe as Light Beings and I am a bit jealous of all they will see and re-understand. But charting the afterlife... it's like charting the Universe itself accurately. THEY could do it, but we can't even imagine what it looks like in totality. MY opinion, of course.

What are the efficient online sources to self-learn DFT calculations useful for students with chemistry background ?
Relevant answer
Answer
There is no easy answer to this question, and actually I do not think that self-learning can lead you very far. This having been said, self-learning the application of DFT to chemical problems requires facing two different types of knowledge, one on theoretical chemistry, and one on the implementation of the theory in a computational software suite.
So, first I would go to books & manuals. For a start, the books from Jensen and Cramer might be very useful. As for the second problem, studying the manuals is mandatory. Many software suite, for example Gaussian, have very complete official on-line resources. Only after a deep study you might start using the software. A help on practical issues can came from any of the many fora on computational chemistry, including RG and the Telegram group on computational and quantum chemistry.

After spending some time on understanding the chemistry of Sol-Gel synthesis. I've made a short overview I need you guys to let me know if it's good or not.
I am specifying the pechini method here in which a chelating agent is used while salt solutions are made in water and ethylene glycol.
these are steps for bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) synthesis.
Here are the steps.
Iron nitrate and EDTA solution in water and Bismuth nitrate solution in ethylene glycol.
1. Formation of Iron hydroxide (need your help. it may lead towards formation of Fe-O-Fe) while heating.
2. Formation of Bismuth glycolate
3. Mixing of these salts together with EDTA
4. Formation of Metal EDTA complex (Here I need your help is it possible for the complex to be between 1 EDTA molecule and Fe, Bi to different metals) if yes then a bi metal complex. Otherwise two complexes in one solution.
5. drying to form gel results in crosslinking (need your help how will it work and happen).
6. Drying to form Xerogel and complete removal of solvents.
7. calcination at high temperature to decompose the Metal-EDTA complex results on formation of metal ions and which at the end form BiFeO3.
#nanomaterial #research #BFO #perovskite #energystorage #energyharvesting #energyconversion #renewableenergy #metaloxides
Relevant answer
Answer
Mixing solutions with inorganic salts and EDTA is sufficient to form a sol. When the solvent is removed in air, a gel will form. Even visually monitor the viscosity. When the solvent is removed, a xerogel is completely formed. Calcination of the xerogel will give BiFeO3.
The stages have been described correctly, but there is no need to separate them.

I am checking the Oxygen Balance calculation as reported in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_balance).
Some calculated values corresponds to those reported in that page (e.g. nitromethane (-39%) and trinitrotoluene (−74%), ammonium nitrate (+20%)).
While some of the values reported in the wiki page do not fit with the formula (e.g. ammonium perchlorate (wiki +34%, calculated 27%), potassium chlorate (wiki +39.2%, calculated 26%, sodium chlorate (wiki +45%, calculated 30%)).
Oxygen Balance is used to evaluate explosivity of a substance and it is also cited by ECHA in ECHA Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria Version 6.0 – Jan 2024, page 93.
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?
Relevant answer
Answer
Oxygen balance is often calculated to CO rather than CO2, maybe a part of the problem originates from this. Usually we use the following formula for CHNOFClS compounds
OxBal=16*(nO+nF/2+nCl/2-(2*nC+0.5*nH+2*nS))/MW*100
Note, however, that the oxygen balance cannot be used as a measure of explosibility or energetic potential, it is much more complicated. For benchmarked emripical equations for energetic potential see our paper
we also suggested a rough estimation for the mechanical sensitivity of compound here
Hope that helps,
