Advances in Chemistry Research. Volume 87

This book focuses on advances in chemistry research. Chapter 1 is concerned with the impact of structural modification of phenolic ligands and their complexation with bismuth(III) ions on the biological activity of the synthesized compounds. Chapter 2 provides an in-depth exploration of rubber's significance in textiles, covering its properties, applications, challenges, and future directions. Chapter 3 explores orbital information networks for molecular fragments and their entropic indices of the chemical bond multiplicity/composition. Chapter 4 involves the exhaustive study of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose from the lignocellulosic biomass to obtain sugars to produce different types of alcohols, such as the most-used enzyme complexes, and the options to reduce costs. Chapter 5 reexamines the electron-population degrees-of-freedom of donor-acceptor systems, and alternative simple models of charge-transfer reactivity are discussed in the substrate and atomic resolutions. Chapter 6 presents an update on the hemicelluloses hydrolysis methods applicable in the forest industry and biorefineries. Chapter 7 analyzes archaeological ceramics using the FTIR technique and multivariate data analysis. Finally, Chapter 8 provides a brief review of the biological matrix of hair and its impact on substance identification.
