Accordingly, this work aims at evaluating a new and more friendly process based on the use of benign solvents with different hydrophobicities, namely common alimentary oil, polypropylene glycol and polyethylene glycol, for the selective recovery of natural products, followed by pervaporation. Particularly, the extraction and fractionation of limonene from orange peels was studied and optimised,

where a high value product is obtained from a highly abundant material that is mostly disposed. Firstly, the best benign solvents were selected, in order to obtain high yields of extraction, and then pervaporation and vacuum distillation were compared after the extraction process, in order to obtain high yields of global recovery of limonene with the least contaminants possible. The integrated LY3009104 process selected was the

extraction of limonene from orange peels using polypropylene glycol 240 (PPG), followed by organophilic pervaporation, providing the selective recovery of limonene free of solvent.”
“A new multifunctional semirigid Schiff-base DMH1 nmr ligand comprising two pyridyl (Py) and two benzimidazolyl (Bim) donor groups, 1,2-bis(1-(1-(pyridine-3-ylmethyl)benzimidazol-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazine (L), has been synthesized, with which 10 coordination polymers of different transition metal ions, namely, [AgL]CF(3)SO(3)center dot CH(3)OH(n) (1), [Ag(2)L](p-CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3))(2)center dot 2CH(3)OH(n) (2), [Hg(3)LCl(6)]center dot CHCl(3)(n) (3), [HgLBr(2)](n) (4), [CdL(CH(3)CO(2))(2)H(2)O]center dot 1.5H(2)O(n)

(5), [CdLI(2)](n) (6), ([MnL(H(2)O)(4)](ClO(4))(2)center dot H(2)O}(n) (7), [MnL(p-CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3))(2)](n) Navitoclax manufacturer (8), [ZnL(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(2)(n) (9), and [ZnL(2)(CH(3)CH(2)OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](p-CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3))(2)(n) (10) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In complexes 1, 2, and 3, L acts as a tetradentate ligand to connect four metal ions that show the same coordination environment in 1 or different coordination environments in 2 and 3, generating two-dimensional (2D) networks of the (4, 4) net topology. In complexes 4-8, 1, acts as a bidentate ligand to bridge two metal ions that display diversified coordination environments depending on coordination of the anions and/or water molecules. Complexes 4-7 have similar one-dimensional (1D) chain structures, while 8 is a three-dimensional (3D) framework with dia topology. In complexes 9 and 10, L acts as a monodentate ligand to form mononuclear coordination motifs. Besides versatile coordination modes, ligand 1, takes oil different conformations responsive to donor affinity of different metal ions.
