The development of new magnetic materials has attracted attention of researchers of different areas. In the last decades, a distinguished class of materials emerged in magnetism, in which the magnetic moment is delocalized over molecules. By varying the synthetic conditions it is possible to obtain a large variety of structures and properties using the same starting molecules. These materials have a great scientific appeal due to the possibility of presenting not only magnetic, but also optical or electrical transport properties. In this review we will present an overview of some molecular magnetic compounds, in particular molecular nanomagnets.

Organotin(IV) derivatives containing bulky R groups have been synthesized and characterized. It is discussed how their syntheses depend on the reaction conditions, such as stoichiometry of starting materials, bulkiness of the organo group attached to the Sn centre as well as temperature in which the reaction is carried out. Finally the molecular structure of Sn2Ph6, determined by X-ray diffraction is reviewed.

The present paper describes the synthesis of crystalline zirconium hydrogen phosphate by direct precipitation and its intercalation with pyridine and n-butylamine. The simple experiment was tested in the undergraduate inorganic chemistry laboratory course for chemistry students at IQ-UNICAMP using inexpensive reagents. The materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and infrared analyses in order to obtain detailed information of the solid structure changes as a result of the intercalation process. Pyridine and n-butylamine are focused in this work as clear and elucidative examples leading to acid-base interactive processes that result in the well-formed infinite sequence of inorganic lamellar structures.

Materials based on pure iron oxide and impregnated with niobia (Nb2O5) were prepared. Their catalytic activities were tested on the oxidation of compounds present in the wastewater from the processing of coffee berries. Particularly caffeine and catechol were tested. The oxidation reactions were carried out with the following systems (i) UV/H2O2, (ii) photo-Fenton and (iii) heterogeneous Fenton. All materials were characterized with X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer and infrared spectroscopy. Iron was mainly in the forms of goethite and maghemite. The oxidation kinetics were monitored by UV-vis and the oxidation products were monitored by mass spectrometry. The photo-Fenton reaction presented highest oxidation efficiency, removing 98% of all caffeine and catechol contents.

Desulphurization process by adsorption was studied employing a commercial diesel dooped with 1000 mg/L of benzothiophene and dibenzothiophene. The adsorbents materials employed were three types of activated alumina (acid, basic and neutral). For comparison, adsorption process was made also using oxidized diesel sample. The results showed that the adsorbents were selective for sulphur compounds removal from fuels. The contact time have influence in adsorption process achieving 80% of removal for not oxidized dibenzothiophene. The three studied alumina types showed similar behavior and a greater selective in dibenzothiophene adsorption than benzothiophene. Dibenzothiophene removal is more effective in samples not oxidized, whereas the benzothiophene was almost totally removed in oxidized sample.

In this work, composites based on activated carbon/iron oxide (AC/Fe) were prepared in two different proportions (AC/Fe 5/1 and 1/1) and evaluated in the removal of the organic dye methylene blue (MB). Physical-chemical properties of the composites were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), adsorption/dessorption of N2 isotherm, temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that goethite (α- FeOOH), with nanometer particle size, was formed over carbon surface for both composites. These materials showed high efficiency to remove MB from solution by combined adsorption and oxidation process. The AC/Fe 1/1 showed to be more active in (MB) oxidation then AC/Fe 5/1.

Materials containing aluminum and iron oxide were synthesized through the preparation of hybrid spheres and tested in the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene in the presence of CO2. The catalytic results suggest that the high initial ethylbenzene conversion is due to the contribution of basic sites. These results also point to a competitive process between CO2 adsorption and the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene for the basic sites (lattice oxygen). In spite of the coke deposition is originating from ethylbenzene and CO2, the amount of carbonaceous deposits was smaller with the presence of CO2, if compared with the dehydrogenation in the absence of CO2.

Sodium bismuthate dihydrate and two species derived from its thermal treatment were investigated as catalysts for soybean oil methanolysis and, regardless of the type of solid used, ester yields always above 76 wt% were obtained. After a single reaction course, both liquid and solid phases were characterized using several analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. As a result, the catalytic phenomenon was shown to be solely due to the leaching of alkalinecatalytic species from the solid materials.

The present article involves a comparative study of the influence of oxygen or sulfur heteroatoms present in the central ring of polycyclic compounds, in order to clarify the correlation between the respective thermophysical or thermochemical properties and structural characteristics. Considering the importance of these types of compounds for their broad spectrum of application in diverse fields, from pharmacology to the development of new materials, the critical interpretation of such properties for their crucial role in the reactivity of these substances is of great interest. Knowledge on these thermodynamic data for key compounds is also relevant to the prediction and understanding of the properties and behavior of other parent compounds.

Coal, oil, natural gas, and shale gas are biomass that is formed millions of years ago. These are non-renewable and depleting, even considering the recent discovery of new sources of oil in the presalt and new technologies for the exploitation of shale deposits. Currently, these raw materials are used as a source of energy production and are also important for the production of fine chemicals. Since these materials are finite and their (oil) price is increasing, it is clear that there will be a progressive increase in the chemical industry to use renewable raw materials as a source of energy, an inevitable necessity for humanity. The major challenge for the society in the twenty first century is to unite governments, universities, research centers, and corporations to jointly act in all areas of science with one goal of finding a solution to global problems, such as conversion of biomass into compounds for the fine chemical industry.Non-renewable raw materials are used in the preparation of fuels, chemical intermediates, and derivatives for the fine chemical industry. However, their stock in nature has a finite duration, and their price is high and will likely increase with their depletion. In this scenario, the alternative is to use renewable biomass as a replacement for petrochemicals in the production of fine chemicals. As the production of biomass-based carbohydrates is the most abundant in nature, it is judicious to develop technologies for the generation of chain products (fuels, chemical intermediates, and derivatives for the fine chemicals industry) using this raw material. This paper presents some aspects and opportunities in the area of carbohydrate chemistry toward the generation of compounds for the fine chemical industry.

Condensation reactions of glycerol with aldehydes and ketones were performed under thermal heating and microwave irradiation regimes. Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts were tested in both conditions. A silica sulfated (SiO2-SO3H) heterogeneous catalyst demonstrated the best performance relative to a selectivity of >95% in favor of 5-membered ketals. For acetals, preference in favor of 5-membered or 6-membered functional groups depends on the nature of the catalyst. Homogenous catalysts favor the more stable 6-membered acetals, whereas heterogeneous catalysts favor the less stable 5-membered acetals. However, the isomer ratios in the acetalization reaction are too low, and hence the reaction cannot be used in a synthetic plan for functional materials. Ketalization processes mediated by SiO2-SO3H show a high selectivity in favor of a 5-membered ring (1,3-dioxolane). The scope of condensation was tested with different ketones. A mechanism for heterogeneous catalysis related to the selectivity in the cyclization process is presented herein. Solketal, a commercial product, was also obtained by a condensation reaction of glycerol and propanone, and showed a high selectivity in favor of 1,3-dioxolane. It was transformed to potential allylic and chiral intermediates. A mesogenic core was connected to the organic framework of glycerol to produce a monomer liquid crystal material with a stable smectic-C mesophase.

O cafeeiro conilon (Coffea canephora, Pierre ex Froenhner) apresenta elevado potencial produtivo e alta exigência nutricional. Entretanto, devido ao aumento nos custos dos fertilizantes minerais, o fornecimento das quantidades recomendadas de nutrientes vem se tornando limitante para os produtores rurais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a utilização de compostos orgânicos no plantio do cafeeiro conilon, com o intuito de substituir as adubações de cobertura com N e K recomendadas na fase de pós-plantio. O experimento foi realizado em casa-de-vegetação, em Linhares-ES, sob delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial (2x5), com cinco repetições. Foram avaliadas cinco doses de dois compostos orgânicos misturados ao solo. Cada parcela experimental foi constituída por um vaso de 12,8 L, que recebeu uma planta. Os compostos constituíram-se da mistura de esterco bovino curtido e capim-elefante (C1), e de cama-de-frango e capim-elefante (C2); ambos na proporção 1:4. As doses utilizadas foram 0; 0,853; 1,706; 2,559 e 3,412 kg/vaso do C1; e 0; 0,758; 1,516; 2,274 e 3,032 kg/vaso do C2. Tanto o tipo do composto orgânico como as doses aplicadas interferiram no crescimento e nos teores foliares de macronutrientes. As doses que proporcionaram os maiores acúmulos de matéria seca total foram de 1,623 kg/vaso (≈ 8,115 kg/cova de 64 L) do C1 e 1,733 kg/vaso (≈ 8,665 kg/cova de 64 L) do C2. Nessas doses, os teores foliares de N e K estiveram acima da faixa de suficiência. Concluiu-se que os compostos orgânicos podem substituir ou reduzir as adubações de cobertura com N e K na fase de pós-plantio do cafeeiro conilon.

O processamento industrial de frutos de manga gera elevada quantidade de resíduos agroindustriais, representados pelas cascas e sementes (amêndoa), os quais, sem aplicação viável, acabam sendo descartados diretamente no meio ambiente. Esses resíduos são ricos em compostos bioativos, amplamente reconhecidos pelas suas propriedades promotoras da saúde e em aplicações tecnológicas. Os objetivos foram avaliar as atividades antimicrobiana e antioxidante e o teor de compostos fenólicos de dois extratos: um obtido da casca (FC) e outro da amêndoa (FA) de manga variedade 'Tommy Atkins'. O teor de compostos fenólicos totais variou de 3.123 a 6.644 mg de catequina/100 g. Os extratos FC e FA demonstraram relevante atividade antimicrobiana frente às cepas das bactérias Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Staphylococcus aureus, determinadas pelo método de difusão em disco. A ação antioxidante de FC e FA aumentou com o aumento das concentrações testadas, atingindo o valor máximo de 88% (FC). Em todas as concentrações testadas os extratos FC apresentaram ação antioxidante significativamente superior às respectivas concentrações dos extratos FA. Esses resultados sugerem potencial aplicação dos resíduos de manga como fonte de compostos fenólicos, substâncias antimicrobianas e antioxidantes, podendo ser explorados pelas indústrias de alimentos.

Espécies de Apiaceae dispõem de óleos essenciais, nos quais podem ocorrer compostos voláteis, que funcionam como sinais para atração e manutenção de inimigos naturais nas áreas cultivadas. Com base nestas características, este trabalho objetivou avaliar a atratividade aos adultos do predador Chrysoperla externa. Foram utilizados folhas e caules de coentro, endro e erva-doce, coletados aos 30 e 60 dias após a semeadura. As plantas foram dispostas em olfatômetro de quatro vias (formato de "X") disponibilizando-se os odores para machos e fêmeas, virgens e acasalados, em testes de livre escolha. Ao serem liberados individualmente no interior do olfatômetro, foram cronometrados cinco minutos e contabilizado o tempo total de permanência do inseto em cada braço do aparelho. Os dados foram analisados pelo teste c², com frequência esperada de 25%. Estudou-se o rendimento de óleo essencial das três espécies de plantas, 30 e 60 dias após a semeadura, utilizando-se do método de hidrodestilação. A composição química dos óleos foi determinada por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrômetro de massas. Verificou-se que adultos virgens têm preferência por plantas de coentro, enquanto os acasalados preferem plantas de erva-doce, ambas coletadas aos 30 dias. Plantas com 60 dias não proporcionaram resposta atrativa aos adultos de C. externa. O rendimento de óleo tendeu a aumentar com o desenvolvimento fenológico da planta. A composição química do óleo de coentro revelou, como componentes majoritários, o (2E)-decenal e decanal e, para erva-doce, a maior concentração foi de (E)-anetol.

RESUMOA batata-doce (Ipomoea batatas L.) é um vegetal muito cultivado nos países tropicais, usado na alimentação humana e na animal, sendo uma boa fonte de energia, sais minerais e vitaminas. Constitui, ainda, fonte de polifenóis antioxidativos, entre eles, antocianinas e ácidos fenólicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade antibacteriana de diferentes extratos de folhas frescas de batata-doce, frente a bactérias de interesse alimentar, e correlacioná-la com os teores de polifenóis totais e de antocianinas. Foram avaliados teores de polifenóis totais e de antocianinas, bem como a atividade antibacteriana de extratos alcoólicos, de infusão e de decocção de folhas de dois acessos de batata-doce, em Porto Alegre, RS, frente a três agentes de interesse em alimentos e alimentação, quais sejam, inóculos padronizados de SalmonellaEnteritidis (ATCC 11076), Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 25923) e Escherichia coli (ATCC 11229). A avaliação da atividade antibacteriana, expressa em intensidade de atividade de inibição bacteriana (IINIB) e em intensidade de atividade de inativação bacteriana (IINAB), foi baseada em testes de diluição em sistema de tubos múltiplos; as antocianinas foram determinadas por meio de pH diferencial e os polifenóis pelo método de Folin & Ciocalteu. Os extratos alcoólicos inibiram e, ou, inativaram todos os inóculos testados, não obstante o Staphylococcus aureus ter sido significativamente mais resistente. Os extratos obtidos por decocção e infusão, além de apresentarem concentrações muito baixas de antocianinas e menores teores de polifenóis do que os seus correspondentes alcoólicos, não apresentaram atividade antibacteriana. A atividade antibacteriana dos extratos testados foi positivamente correlacionada com os compostos fenólicos e, ou, antocianinas.
