Adsorption Behavior of Glucosamine-Based, Pyrimidine-Fused Heterocycles as Green Corrosion Inhibitors for Mild Steel: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of electron donating (−CH3 and −OH) and electron withdrawing (−NO2) substituents on the corrosion inhibition efficiency of four glucosamine-based, substituted, pyrimidine-fused heterocycles (CARBs) on mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl have been investigated using gravimetric, electrochemical, surface morphology (SEM, AFM, and EDX), and computational techniques.

Oxidation of Alcohols with Molecular Oxygen on Solid Catalysts
Tamas Mallat,Alfons Baiker +1 more
TL;DR: It is considered more feasible that the rate-deter-mining step is the cleavage of the C-H bond at the R-carbon atom, and the active site consists of an ensemble of metallic Auatoms and a cationic Au.

Production of Liquid Alkanes by Aqueous-Phase Processing of Biomass-Derived Carbohydrates
TL;DR: Liquid alkanes with the number of carbon atoms ranging from C7 to C15 were selectively produced from biomass-derived carbohydrates by acid-catalyzed dehydration, which was followed by aldol condensation over solid base catalysts to form large organic compounds.
