Neutral anion receptors working in highly demanding solvents are new materials being sought. Benzopyrroles are more acidic than amides and pyrrole itself, and are promising building blocks in the design of host compounds. A whole series of receptors based upon benzopyrroles were synthesized and evaluated. They include carbazole, dipyrrolonaph-thalene, and 7-aminoindole-based hosts. Most of them demonstrate moderate binding affinities in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and have good selectivity toward tetrahedral oxyanions. Recently, a group of receptors utilizing 7-aminoindole and urea moieties proved to work in a very competitive solvent—methanol.

Nanoparticles, due to their broadly tunable functions, are major building blocks for generating new materials. However, building such materials for practical applications by self-assembly is quite challenging. Following the Faraday Discussion on “Nanoparticle Assembly: from Fundamentals to Applications” we discuss here the current trends in the field of self-assembly, including: understanding the unique interplay of molecular and nanoscale effects, a development of novel approaches for the creation of targeted nanoparticle architectures, advances in controlling dynamic behavior of systems and enabling new functions through specifically formed structures.

Understanding of structure-affinity relationships is crucial for rational receptor design, however, such studies for anion receptors are still limited. Therefore, we investigated this issue in the case of amide-based macrocyclic receptors derived from aromatic diacids (i.e., isophthalic and dipicolinic). Using these model compounds, we examined the macrocyclic effect, the influence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and the correlation between the ring size and anion affinity. We found that in contrast to what was known for acyclic diamides, macrocyclic isophthalamide receptors bind anions more weakly than their dipicolinic analogs. Comprehensive structural studies revealed that such behavior is due to intramolecular hydrogen bonds present in isophthalamide receptors. Furthermore, we demonstrated how this obstacle can be overcome by the preparation of a hybrid macrocycle based on both building blocks.

Next-generation nanotechnology demands new materials and devices that are highly efficient, multifunctional, cost-effective and environmental friendly. The need to accelerate the discovery of new materials therefore becomes more pressing than ever. Over the past two decades, self-assembly techniques have provided a promising means for fabricating nanomaterials, where the underlying structures are formed by the self-organization of building blocks, such as nanoparticles, colloids and block copolymers, in a similar fashion to biological systems. The fundamental challenges to these bottom techniques are to design suitable assembling units, to tailor their interaction rules and to identify possible assembly pathways. In this report, we will demonstrate how computer simulation has been a powerful tool for tackling these fundamental challenges, providing not only profound insights into the complex interplay between the building blocks’ geometry and their interactions, but also valuable predictions to inspire on-going and future experiment. Theoretical background of self-assembly studies; simulation methods and data analysis tools commonly used will also be discussed.

Concrete is one of the most vital building blocks, from columns, bricks, paving to roads made of concrete, so the use of concrete tends to be high. Concrete is often used as the main buffer in a building, so good quality is needed, but this is not accompanied by a declining quality of the material, so it requires innovation in the addition of new materials that can at least reduce the needs of the main material for making concrete, one of which is the utilization of Gypsum Board waste and red brick waste. The results of testing the concrete compressive strength test with the addition of Gypsum Board waste and red brick waste to cement obtained pretty good results. Concrete, which has the highest average compressive strength than normal concrete, has concrete with a mixture of red brick and gypsum waste of 10% each with a compressive strength of 250.56 kg / cm², and which has the lowest compressive strength have concrete with a mixture of red bricks and gypsum waste 15% each with a compressive strength of 195.56 kg / cm².Beton merupakan salah satu unsur penyusun bangunan paling vital mulai dari kolom,bata, paving hingga jalan terbuat dari beton sehingga penggunaan beton cenderung tinggi. Beton sering digunakan sebagai bahan penyangga utama pada suatu bangunan maka diperlukan kualitas yang baik, namun hal tersebut tidak di sertai dengan kualitas bahan yang kian menurun,makadiperlukan inovasi penambahan bahan baru yang setidaknya dapat mengurangi kebutuhan bahan utama pembuat beton, salah satunya pemanfaatan limbah Gypsum Board dan limbah batu bata merah Hasil dari pengetesan uji kuat tekan beton dengan penambahan limbah Gypsum Board dan limbah batu bata merah terhadap semen didapatkanhasil yang cukup bagus Beton yang memiliki nilai kuat tekan rata-rata paling tinggi selain beton normal di miliki beton dengan campuran batu bata merah dan limbah gypsum masing-masing 10% dengan nilai kuat tekan sebesar 250,56 Kg/cm²,dan yang memiliki nilai kuat tekan paling rendah di miliki beton dengan campuran batu bata merah dan limbah gypsum masing-masing 15% dengan nilai kuat tekan 195,56 Kg/cm².
