The Younger Researchers of the Brazilian Chemical Society committee supports early career researchers promoting communication, collaboration, education, networking, representation, and career development.
Review Article
Pulsed electric field technology as a promising pre-treatment for enhancing orange agro-industrial waste biorefinery
Pulsed electric field (PEF) technology improves energy efficiency in biorefineries.
Paper
Synthesis of novel fatty acid 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one and antitumoral activity against breast and gastric cancer cells
Monastrol is a cell-permeable molecule recognized as an inhibitor of mitotic kinesin Eg5, that is over-expressed in tumor cells and is a very promising target for developing new drugs for cancer disease.
Paper
LC-MS/DIA-based strategy for comprehensive flavonoid profiling: an Ocotea spp. applicability case
A user-friendly LC-MS data-independent acquisition-based strategy using open software for access to the flavonoid content of complex mixtures.
Paper
Exploring borderline SN1–SN2 mechanisms: the role of explicit solvation protocols in the DFT investigation of isopropyl chloride
We explored borderline SNX reactions quantum-chemically, revealing a preferred dissociative-SN2 pathway controlled by solute–solvent interactions through various solvation models.
Paper
Synthesis and evaluation of photophysical, electrochemical, and ROS generation properties of new chalcogen-naphthoquinones-1,2,3-triazole hybrids
This study heralds an advancement in the synthesis of innovative hybrids with exceptional photophysical and electrochemical properties, promising advances in this area.
Paper
Valence tautomerism in a cobalt–dioxolene complex containing an imidazolic ancillary ligand
The imidazolic tetradentate ligand bmimapy is used to prepare a new valence tautomeric coordination compound.
Paper
First report of trans-A2B-corrole derived from a lapachone derivative: photophysical, TD-DFT and photobiological assays
Photophysical properties of novel corroles containing lapachol units. DFT calculations and electrochemical analysis were conducted to better understand the corrole molecular structures. Corrole derivatives do not form aggregates in solution and generate ROS species.
Paper
Continuous flow Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction of HMF and furfural using basic zirconium carbonate
Reduction of furfural and HMF in a continuous flow regime mediated by basic zirconium carbonate using 2-propanol as a solvent and reducing agent towards the synthesis of platform chemicals is presented.
Paper
Lipase-catalyzed acylation of levoglucosan in continuous flow: antibacterial and biosurfactant studies
Ipase-catalyzed transesterification of LG under continuous flow conditions.
Paper
From cow manure to bioactive carbon dots: a light-up probe for bioimaging investigations, glucose detection and potential immunotherapy agent for melanoma skin cancer
Investigation of the immunological effect of light-up carbon-dots on cancer-bearing mice.
Paper
Enhanced performance of pencil-drawn paper-based electrodes by laser-scribing treatment
This study demonstrates a fast and simple method to fabricate enhanced ePADs using pencil-drawing with a CO2 laser treatment of the carbon surface deposited on paper. The sensor was applied to the detection of furosemide in a synthetic urine sample.
About this collection
The development of focused national and international scientific networks has been progressively encouraged by scientific and governmental entities worldwide. The committee of Younger Researchers of the Brazilian Chemical Society (JP-SBQ) was created in 2018, and the official launch of the committee took place during the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Chemical Society. The committee aims to promote the representation of Brazilian, young and early-career researchers, fostering communication, collaboration, education, networking, exchange, and career development in an inclusive and effective way. This collection celebrates younger and emerging authors based in Brazil. We hope that you enjoy reading through the collection.
We also welcome relevant submissions to the series. Please contact the Editorial Office to highlight your interest in submitting to this collection, referring the themed collection title.
