Seven OH-free and O-permethylated monofunctionalized calix[5]arenes carrying either additional methyl or tert-butyl groups are prepared following fragment condensation protocols. This strategy proves to be superior to previous approaches. Calix[5]arenes with free OH groups all adopt a cone conformation stabilized by a seam of hydrogen bonds at the lower rim. Post-condensation modifications, i.e., methylation of phenolic OH groups or functional group interconversions can also be achieved. Bulky tert-butyl groups are also found to stabilize the cone conformations of O-methylated compounds. These compounds offer versatile functional groups that make these concave molecules interesting building blocks for the synthesis of more sophisticated molecular architectures.

Using different methods of statistics, this paper aims to highlight the potential link between the antioxidant activity of flavonoids and the corresponding molecular descriptors. By calculating the descriptors (van der Waals surface (A), molar volume (V), partition coefficient (LogP), refractivity (R), polarizability (a), forming heat (Hformation), hydration energy (Ehidr), the dipole moment (mt)), together with antioxidant activities (RSA) calculated or taken from the literature, number of phenolic -OH groups and the presence (2) or absence (1) of C2=C3 double bond) for 29 flavonoid compounds and by intercorrelation between the studied parameters, the link between the number of phenolic groups grafted to the basic structure of flavonoids and their antioxidant activity was confirmed. Simultaneously, by using the chi-squared test and the intercorrelations matrix, a satisfactorily correlation coefficient (r2=0.5678; r=0.7536) between the structure of the flavonoids and their activity was obtained, fact that confirms the correlation of the antioxidant activity with the number of -OH phenolic groups.

The properties of humic (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) isolated from a 27-year-old long-term experiment with rice-wheat-cowpea on a Mollisol in northern India were evaluated for elemental composition and functional groups. As compared to fallow, C, H and N decreased, while O increased in the control, but the use of NPK+FYM over the years enhanced the C and N of humic substances. The carboxylic (-COOH) and phenolic-OH groups declined in the control, but improved with NPK+FYM in comparison to fallow. Carboxylic groups (-COOH) contributed about 2–3 times more in HA and 4–5 times more in FA than the respective phenolic-OH groups to the molecular weights of these fractions of soil organic matter. The results suggested the role of integrated nutrient management in maintaining active soil humus over the years.

A new series of heterocyclic Schiff bases were prepared from condensation of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acetyl/benzoyl-pyrazolone with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether, resulting in the formation of four novel Schiff base ligands. These ligands were then treated with ethanolic solution of PdCl2, to form corresponding palladium(II) complexes. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, TGA, magnetic susceptibility measurements and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. All the Pd(II) complexes were found to have one coordinated water molecule. Schiff base ligands chelated with the metal atom through two donor sites N and O of azomethine (-C=N-) and phenolic (-OH) groups, respectively.

The binding of three Ru(II)-polypyridyl complexes with polyphenols (gallic acid and quercetin) have been studied in aqueous medium at pH 11 by means of absorption spectral technique. The absorption and emission maximum of this complexes are in the range of 451-457 nm and 612-626 nm respectively. The binding constant (Kb) for these reactions are determined from the Benesi-Hildebrand equation using absorption intensity data.The observed binding constant values are sensitive to the nature of the ligand and the structure of the gallic acid and quercetin. Quercetin binds strongly with Ru(II) complexes than gallic acid owing to the presence of more phenolic –OH groups. Structural effect seems to play a vital role on the binding of the antioxidants with these complexes.

Carboxyls, phenolic and alcoholic hydroxyls, carbonyls, and methoxyls were determined in 20 organic soil samples that ranged from peats, mucky peats, peaty mucks to mucks. The absorbance of a sodium pyrophosphate extract of each sample served as basis for grouping the samples into three broad classes: (i) peat, (ii) mucky peat – peaty muck, and (iii) muck.A statistical analysis of the analytical data showed that (a) the determination of COOH and of OCH3 groups distinguished between the peat and muck classes, and (b) measurement of alcoholic OH groups differentiated between the peat class and the intermediate class and between the peat and muck classes. The experimental data indicated that increased humification was associated with increases in COOH, OCH3, and to a lesser extent of C==O groups, increased solubility in dilute sodium pyrophosphate solution, decreases in alcoholic OH groups but practically no changes in phenolic OH groups. It is suggested that functional group analysis could be used as a supplementary diagnostic tool for assessing the degree of humification of organic matter in organic soils and could thus serve as an aid in the classification of organic soils.

Ion-exchange (number of functional group) properties and swelling capacity of leaf cell walls of plant species Betula nana, Salix polaris, Dryas octopetala and Cassiope tetragona from Western Spitsbergen Island were investigated. It was found out that cell wall of Arctic plants is cation exchanger which has similar functional groups (amine groups, carboxyl groups and phenolic OH-groups) with cell wall of boreal plants. In all investigated species, the highest percentage in the structure of the cell wall was recorded for the carboxyl groups of hydroxycinnamic acids and phenolic OH-groups, which are part of phenolic compounds. In comparison with species from other climatic zones leaf cell wall of arctic plants has in 2–3 times higher amount of ion exchange groups of all types as well as the higher values of swelling coefficients. It was proposed that the high values of the ion-exchange capacity and swelling coefficient of the cell wall of all studied species contribute to greater water flow system by the apoplast and enhance the metabolic processes in the cell wall of plants at high latitudes.
