Low-temperature Molecular Layer Deposition Using Monofunctional Aromatic Precursors and Ozone-based Ring Opening Reactions
2017
Molecular layer deposition (MLD) is an increasingly used deposition technique for producing thin coatings consisting of purely organic or hybrid inorganic–organic materials. When organic materials are prepared, low deposition temperatures are often required to avoid decomposition, thus causing problems with low vapor pressure precursors. Monofunctional compounds have higher vapor pressures than traditional bi- or trifunctional MLD precursors, but do not offer the required functional groups for continuing the MLD growth in subsequent deposition cycles. In this study, we have used high vapor pressure monofunctional aromatic precursors in combination with ozone-triggered ring-opening reactions…
Pyrolytic formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from sesquiterpenes
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Food Chemistry. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2012.06.033 The products of the pyrolysis of four sesquiterpenes, β-caryophyllene, α-cedrene, longifolene and valencene, have been examined. Pyrolysis was carried out at 300, 400 and 500 °C, the products determined by GC–MS and then examined for similarities and differences using multivariate data analysis. Analysis showed that longifolene was most resistant and caryophyllene least resistant to pyrolysis with cedrene and valencene occupying intermediate positions. While the compounds were largely unchanged at 300 °C, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs…

Wpływ podstawienia karbazolu pierścieniem fulwenowym na ich strukturę elektronową
2019
Na właściwości optoelektroniczne układów organicznych, w znacznym stopniu ma wpływ ich struktura elektronowa. Poznanie zatem czynników determinujących ich strukturę elektronową stanowi istotny punkt wyjścia w badaniach nad możliwościami potencjalnego ich zastosowania. Wśród wielu narzędzi, którymi można modyfikować π-elektronową delokalizację w układach aromatycznych jest efekt podstawnikowy. Rolę podstawników mogą również pełnić układy cykliczne a w szczególności te, które nie spełniają reguły Hückla, gdyż ich dążność do stanu aromatycznego, jest czynnikiem generującym ruch elektronów π w strukturach. Przykładem takiego pierścienia może być fulwen, który posiada 5 elektronów π i w miarę mo…
Rola efektu podstawnikowego w sprzężeniu π-elektronowym w N-podstawionym karbazolu
2019
Modyfikacja właściwości optoelektronowych materiałów organicznych w wielu przypadkach sprowadza się do wywołania zmian w ich strukturze elektronowej, a w szczególności w π-elektronowej delokalizacji w obrębie całej molekuły. Dużą uwagę zajmują w tych badaniach układy skondensowane zawierające pierścienie aromatyczne, niearomatyczne oraz hetero atomy. Do układów tych można zaliczyć, między innymi, karbazol i jego pochodne, który znajduje zastosowanie w organicznych materiałach optycznych i elektronowych. W niniejszej publikacji zaprezentowano wyniki z przeprowadzonych badań nad wpływem podstawienia pierścienia fulwenowego na atomie azotu oraz podstawników o zróżnicowanym charakterze elektron…
Sustainable Fertilization in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
2015
The nutrient level in the soil is one of the most investigated aspects of agricultural research, also including research into Medicinal and Aromatic plants. The effect of fertilization has been studied in detail for many species, with contrasting results as concerns above all the qualitative aspects of production. Generally speaking, an increased level of nutrients induces an enhancement of plant biomass, but when the goal of cultivation is different from herbage yield, i.e. when a special plant part (seeds, or roots, or flowers) is of interest, or when the quality features are especially important, the outcome of fertilization may be dramatically different. A fine-tuned fertilization pract…
LEAVES OFNERIUM OLEANDERL. AS BIOACCUMULATORS OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAH) IN THE AIR OF PALERMO (ITALY): EXTRACTION AND GC-MS ANALYSIS,…
2005
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) were determined in the leaves of Nerium oleander L. an evergreen plant that occurs widely in both urban and rural areas, to monitor the degree of pollution in the urban area of Palermo (Italy) compared to remote areas. Twenty sites (urban roadside, urban, urban park, suburban and rural) in and around Palermo city were investigated. The purpose of this research was to investigate concentration levels and distribution patterns and relate them to possible sources. Analysis of 19 PAH was performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS) using selected ion monitoring (SIM). The total amount of PAH ranged from 10 to 166 μg/Kg d.w. Each source gives ri…
Osservazioni preliminari sul germoplasma spontaneo di mirto (Myrtus communis L.) siciliano
2008
Tra le specie presenti allo stato spontaneo della flora mediterranea, il mirto occupa una posizione di rilievo per le sue molteplici applicazioni nei settori alimentare, farmaceutico, cosmetico e vivaistico. Il Dipartimento A.A.T. dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo, in collaborazione con il Consorzio Co.Ri.S.S.I.A. di Palermo, ha avviato un programma di raccolta e valutazione di germoplasma spontaneo di mirto. Nel 2006, sono state effettuate osservazioni preliminari su n. 9 biotipi di mirto collezionari in campo catalogo. Nel presente lavoro si riportano i primi risultati sulle caratteristiche feno-morfologiche e biometriche dei biotipi esaminati.
Essential oil crops for sustainable agriculture - A review
2009
Multifunctionality and diversification of farming systems, integration of agricultural practices both inter se and with the non-agricultural productive systems operating on the territory, biodiversity safeguards, and reduction in off-farm inputs, are key factors for all modern development strategies in agricultural areas. Such issues are valid worldwide, but are especially true in areas in which the cultivation of the more widespread and “classical” crops is constrained by factors of varying degree and importance. In Mediterranean areas, where many environmental and economic factors often reduce rural areas to marginal conditions, the search for new crop opportunities has become one of the …
Plant essential oils in controlling fungal colonization on wooden substrate
2021
In order to control fungal colonization and the related deterioration process of cultural objects, several chemical compounds are actually utilised. These products generally are toxic, not biodegradable and persisting for long time in the environment, also acting on not-targeted biological systems. In this study, specifically to wooden cultural object, Origanum vulgare L. and Thymus vulgaris L. essential oils are proposed as green biocides to contrast the development of Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger fungal species. The aim is replacing toxic products with natural molecules, proposing alternative methodologies supporting the using of non-toxic novel compou…
