Chemistry - Science topic

My name is Mohamed, I love chemistry, and I will love more to see it done by bots.

I have already built 8 AI agents in the domain of organic chemistry, I can send the videos and the results gladely.

I will have all the honor in the world if you accept to supervise me in my PhD subject: Automating Multi-Step Organic synthesis using Machine Learning and Robotic Systems.

I have a hunger to do research and learn new things, if you give me the chance, I will do miracles.

Best regards.

Some of my papers were related to this term (water self-purification) and I want to better understand how this term is perceived and interpreted by colleagues.

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

I am trying to conjugate an antibody, but I want to know what the molecular structure of antibody is to see where the free thiols are and where lysine residues are for my reaction.

Also, on the same note if I want to do thiol-maleimide reaction, and I reduce the antibody to expose more thiol groups, what prevents the antibody from falling apart as the disulfide bridges are broken? I want to attach a drug to antibody without comprosing the antibody and without affecting the binding site.

Is there a powerful AI tool that can help us connect information from peer-reviewed and published papers with a scientific question and guide/ direct us to try some methodologies/ reactions to solve a problem, or is it still a dream? Suggestions?

To my mind, V.I. Vernadsky was one of the fathers of the science of geochemistry and the father of biogeochemistry. He modernized conceptualization of the biosphere. His works and ideas were ahead of his time and to a degree, are ahead of our time. I think his works are helpful in our effort toward the goals of sustainability. I will be glad to hear any comment from you, dear colleagues.

Some of my publications related to issues of the biosphere, biogeochemisty and issues covered in scientific legacy of Vernadsky are presented as bibliography in this publication:

Should Matric results show separate Physics and Chemistry marks instead of 'Physical Sciences'?

I am actively seeking a PhD position in Chemistry at a renowned university in the United States, Germany, Canada, or Switzerland. My research expertise is focused on organic chemistry, photoluminescent materials, and stimuli-responsive materials. I hold a Master's degree in Chemistry from National Taiwan University (NTU), where I achieved high GPAs in both my Bachelor's and Master's programs. Moreover, I am passionate about advancing research in these fields and am eager to contribute to innovative projects. Therefore, if my background aligns with your research interests, I would be happy to discuss potential opportunities further.

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.

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?

I'm trying to explain organic molecule's adsorption onto activated carbon based on chemical parameters, and I found a good correlation between the adsorption amount and topological polar surface area (TPSA).

However, this parameter is used only to explain pharmaceutical absorption and not for different groups of organic molecules. Instead, electron density has been studied as a very important element in adsorption phenomena.

Can these two parameters be correlative? Does it make sense to consider adsorption and some pesticides TPSA, for example?

Any help would be significant to me.

Thanks.

Hello all dear

I need a help

Thanks in advance

I did a dpph method and make a variety of concentration (400, 200, 100, 50, 25 ppm). I have done it by making 1000 ppm first and diluted them, I already did this 4 times but the results are always same. is there something wrong with my way in diluting the sample? or is there something wrong with my sample?

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?

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.

I want to predict the reactions between my two desired inorganic chemical compounds. Can I? Is there any software or website for do this? Dear chemistry experts, please help me with this. Thank you for your response.

What means gamma in old chemistry papers like Lowry method? I have a suspicion it was the concentration unit in micro something. I am right? Why they used it? Typographical problems at the time?

I have performed the adsorption studies and applied Langmuir model to the data. I obtained KL value from it. In literature it is given higher the KL value stronger the interaction between adsorbent and adsorbate. But there isn't any specific value of KL given.

In literature FTIR and XRD are also performed to predict the adsorption mechanism. I have done that as well and there is shift and change in the peak intensities.

Which one is better to predict the adsorption mechanism? Either from KL value or FTIR/XRD?

i want to prepare this solution in-house in lab, is any method?

I'd like to protect a secondary amine group (on Glucosamine-HCl) with a silyl group.

Did you ever do that? Did you use a chlorosilane? Does it get attached two times to the amine? Is the resulting nitrogen on -NH-Si-R more activated as a nucleophile?

How is it removed? Acids only or also fluoride ions? Does it work only for trimethylsilanes or also more bulky/resistent silanes (TBDMS, TBDPS, ...)?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

Has anybody used ATR-FTIR to probe the chemistry of colloidal samples (excluding the procedure of drying the droplet on the crystal or using a flow cell)?

If yes, how do you account for the broad water peak?

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??

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?

Post-COVID, online platforms or remote learning especially in the education field has accelerated its pace. Is this going to make a lasting impression where educators must adapt to this new way of learning or are we returning back to physical school, physical tutorings or physical lectures in the near future.

Yes because critical rationalism recognizes substance, parsimony and identity(adjusts premises upon contradiction), while skeptical empiricism believes all results from impressions. Skeptical empiricism also believes the self is an illusion.

Hello,

I want to load Remedesivir (RNA polymerase inhibitor) into mesoporous nanoparticles (MSNs). The issue is drug is temperature and pH sensitive and it degrades quickly. I need advice on its loading.

1- Should it be loaded to at the last step of MSN synthesis. Problem with this MSNs are extracted later on through reflux and 60 degree temperature is required. It degrades drug.

2- Should it be loaded after extraction making an ice bath but how long it should be kept on stirring?

3- Later I want to coat it with chitosan MSN loaded Remedesivir and then coating with chitosan. I am concerned about leaching and degradation of drug. Should i load drug first and then add drug?

Thank you for your suggestions.

Hi all,

I have a several gallons of water mixed with low percent SLS, how can i remove the SLS in a cost-effective manner.

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) ???

Hello everyone,

My question for sure is silly, but I have been arguing with my labmate about this. If our plasmid concentration is 0.776 µg/µL and he wants to make a final concentration for transfection of 1 µg/µL and 6 µg/µL, how is it possible to achieve a concentration of 6 µg/µL from 0.776 µg/µL?

Using the equation C_1 V_1 = C_2 V_2 :

v2 = 50 ul

c2= 6 ug/ul

Please help me understand. I have a brief knowledge of chemistry and calculation

Hi, I am looking to perform an analysis of Br/ KBr in samples of water sources to see if the levels are safe. Due to budget and resource limitation at the stage, I would prefer a method that considers these factors.

Kindly help.

Its been around 6 months when I started working on a research project related to nanomaterials BFO for water treatment. I worked on the chemistry of synthesis, photocatalysis, degradation of textile dyes using visible light only, sol-gel synthesis of BiFeO3 (material able to degrade multiple cationic dyes of higher concentration 20ppm), and sol-gel synthesis of double perovskites (its still incomplete and material is able to degrade cationic and anionic both type of dye i.e., Rh.B., MB, MV, CV, MG, CR etc. efficiently in lesser time). To help you guys how can you find the chemistry of synthesis for related material always remember to look for the chemistry of method you are using it can be sol-gel, co-precipitation, solvothermal, chemical vapor deposition or any other. Look for the chemistry of original method and them find out what materials in your method are acting analogous to materials given in explained method, you found during literature review. Hope this will help you out remember me in your prayers. Thank you so much. I will be glad to help you guys anywhere I could.

As a professional teacher, there is need to have a 'What' and 'How' of teaching? The what to teach, which is the subject content like Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and the likes, and the 'How' to teach them, which is the pedagogical content knowledge.

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.

There is a pH-Electrode by Mettler-Toledo that is supposed to measure pH at temperatures as low as -30°C, even in frozen solutions.

I've been searching for quite a while about Covalent organic framework (COF) and Porous organic polymer (POP) XRD pattern, how their xrd pattern should be and their differences.

But i could not find any specific findings.

some texts mentioned that COF xrd pattern should be sharp and pop should be broad. But ive seen so many COFs with broad PXRD pattern.

How can you distinguish between these two? How could you know that your product is POP or COF (etc. )?

Can somebody share their knowledge or mention a helpful Paper? Im so confused.

Thanks a lot.

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.

Maybe we should identify what is the most parsimonious afterlife. Expanding the law of identity, maybe physics can determine the exact afterlife all have coming.

My previous attempts:

Guessing what the afterlife broadly is:

1)

Guessing what the afterlife is NOT.

2)

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.

If anyone is interested in this field and has read articles on this topic, please don't hesitate to share your suggestions below

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.
