TL;DR: In this paper, the amount of phosphorus (P) in nine types of biochar (one natural woody biochar and eight manufactured plant derived biochars) extractable by deionized water, 0.5 N NaHCO 3 (pH = 8.5) and 0.4 N H 2 SO 4, respectively, and P adsorption on single biochar or soil/biochar mixtures were examined to investigate the potential effect and role of bio char in improving P availability in soils.

TL;DR: In this article, photochemical control of a self-assembled supramolecular 1:1 pseudorotaxane (formed between a tetracationic cyclophane, namely the tetrachloride salt of cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), and 1,5-bis[2-(2-(1-hydroxy)ethoxy)thoxy)ethoxide]naphthalene) has been achieved in aqueous solution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate how feedstock characteristics and temperature influence biochar evolution during pyrolysis and establish their relationships with biochar potential for soil amendments, using principal component and cluster analyses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the construction of catenanes, comprised of between two and seven interlocked rings, has been achieved, and two tris-1,5-naphtho-57-crown-15 macrocycles template the formation of cyclobis(paraquat-4,4‘-biphenylene) to give a [3]catenane, which acts as a template for the constructions of one and then another cyclecyclobis (para-p-phenylene), giving a [4]- and [5]

TL;DR: Modifications of DAB-dendr-(NH2)x with biologically active carbohydrates affords a new and simple approach to high molecular weight compounds that may be considered as neoglycoconjugates with perfectly symmetrical structures and that offer much promise as multivalent ligands involved in carbohydrate-protein interactions.
