This work presents a detailed surface analytical study and characterization, with an emphasis on the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analyses of 2‑mercapto‑1‑methylimidazole (MMI) as corrosion inhibitor for brass. First, electrochemical measurements demonstrated inhibition effect MMI in 3 wt.% NaCl solution. Next, formation layer ...

In order to determine how functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) interact in a near-physiological environment, we performed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations on the icosahedral Au144 nanoparticles each coated with a homogeneous set of 60 thiolates selected from one of these five (5) types: 11-mercapto-1-undecanesulfonate -SC11H22(SO3(-)), 5-mercapto-1-pentanesulfonate -SC5H10(SO3(-)), ...

(Hetero)aroyl chlorides, alkynes, and ethyl 2-mercapto acetate can be reacted in a consecutive three-component synthesis to give 2,4-disubstituted thiophene 5-carboxylates in good to excellent yields. In the sense of a pseudo-five-component reaction highly blue luminescent symmetrical terthiophenes and a quinquethiophene can be synthesized in excellent yield.

Current assays of phospholipase A1 (EC 3.1.1.32) and monoacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.23) activities in tissues are discontinuous, laborious, and expensive. Some spectrophotometric substrates were synthesized to alleviate this problem. Thioester analogs of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. rac-1,2-S,O-didecanoyl-3-phosphocholine-1-mercapto-2,3-propanediol and rac-1,2-S,O-dideca...

Novel mesoporous poly(vinyl alcohol)/SiO(2) composite nanofiber membranes functionalized with mercapto groups with diameters of 300-500 nm have been fabricated by a sol-gel electrospinning process; they were highly effective at absorbing Cu(ii) ions from waste water. These nanofiber membranes could be regenerated through acidification.

A series of 3-substituted-4-(5-nitro-2-furfurylidene)amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles 3 and their Mannich bases have been synthesized. The structures of these Schiff bases and Mannich bases were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis, H NMR and mass spectral data. The above compounds were also screened for their antifungal activity against C.albicans.
