To address this challenge, a research team led by Associate Professor Yasuhiro Yamada from the Graduate School of Engineering and Associate Professor Tomonori Ohba from the Graduate School of Science at Chiba University, Japan, developed a new type of carbon material called 'viciazites.' These materials are designed with nitrogen groups positioned next to each other in a controlled way. The study, published in the journal Carbon, was co-authored by Mr. Kota Kondo, also from Chiba University.

Building Viciazites With Controlled Nitrogen Pairing

The researchers created three different versions ofcompounds each with a unique type of neighboring nitrogen configuration. To produce adjacent primary amine groups (-NH2 groups), they first heated a compound called coronene, then treated it with bromine, followed by ammonia gas. This three-step method achieved 76% selectivity, meaning most of the nitrogen atoms were placed in the intended positions.

Two additional materials were produced using different starting compounds. One featured adjacent pyrrolic nitrogen with 82% selectivity, while the other contained adjacent pyridinic nitrogen with 60% selectivity.

Scientists just uncovered the first new chemical bond in over 10 years

  A group of researchers at the University of Tokyo have spent years testing the limits of chemical bonds . And now, after years of work, they’ve finally explored an idea originally proposed in 1931: a chemical bond formed using just a single electron. This, of course, poses quite a conundrum, as many believe single-electron chemical bonds can’t exist. That’s because all of the current known covalent bonds—where atoms connect by sharing their electrons—must contain two, four, six, or eight electrons . However, in 1931, Linus Pauling theorized that a covalent bond could exist with atoms sharing a single electron. However, creating a new single-electron chemical bond isn’t easy. To find out if it is possible, researchers started with a covalent bond that already exists with two electrons. They then removed one of those electrons by using a chemical reaction. They used a large hydrocarbon with long bonds between its carbon atoms to help ensure the energy cost would be too great for a...

Industry and the manufacturing sector use multiple analytical chemical methods, whether for new product development, processing, or quality control. This article outlines the research to be presented at Pittcon on the advances being made in analytical chemistry and their application in industry and manufacturing. Spectroscopy is a valuable analytical tool for a wide range of sectors. Several talks will focus on Raman spectroscopy as a highly versatile analytical tool, which can be used in chemical processing from laboratory to manufacturing. Raman spectroscopy’s use in polymer science to measure and control chemical processes is a particular focus. The technique is becoming increasingly relevant as chemical manufacturing expands to include new developments such as batch reactions, microreactors, flow synthesis, and continuous processes. Pittcon will hear examples of using Raman spectroscopy to improve process efficiency and predict reaction end-times and physical properties of chemical...

PhosAgro/ UNESCO/ IUPAC Partnership in Green Chemistry for Life

Green chemistry has become a focus for cutting-edge research into sustainable technologies. These technologies may reduce or even eliminate the production and use of hazardous substances in mining and in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products, and may also lead to energy savings, a better environment and improved human health. Shutterstock.com Last update:13 February 2024 Research in green chemistry and associated areas in biochemistry, geochemistry, biotechnology, ecology and healthcare give young scientists ample opportunity to demonstrate their inventiveness and provide important input to sustainable development. With this in mind, the Green Chemistry for Life project was launched in 2013 by UNESCO’s International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP) and PhosAgro, the largest producer of phosphate-based fertilizer in Europe, in close cooperation with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Objectives PhosAgro/UNESCO/IUPAC research grants in gr...
