Papilloscopy, the science of human identification through fingerprints, has seen notable advancements in developing less toxic latent fingerprint developers (LFDs), especially from natural feedstock. Tannins, the second most abundant natural polyphenol, present a potential eco-fr...
The interaction between cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) and the guest 1-methyl-4-(4-(1-methylpyridin-1-ium-4-yl)benzamido)pyridin-1-ium (PB2+) has been thoroughly investigated. Multiple techniques were employed, including 1H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, isothermal titration calori...
A macrocyclic receptor based on azopyrrole and polyether was synthesized, and its structure was characterized by NMR (1H and 13C), HRMS and X-ray crystallography. In the solid state, the macrocyclic molecules could bind methanol through a pair of N-H…O hydrogen bonds and further...

Most bioplastics are based on polysaccharides, which are either synthesized from a variously sourced monomer or extracted from some biomass waste. In many cases, some lignocellulosic fibers are then added to the obtained bioplastics to form biocomposites and extend their range of...
In the chemical education field, the Johnstone’s triangle represents three learning levels (symbolic, macroscopic, and molecular) needed for students. Afterwards, Mahaffy suggested a tetrahedron model based on this triangle, where the top represents the human element. Subsequentl...
