This paper deals with the investigation of N identical compound parabolic concentrator evacuated tubular collector included single slope solar desalting unit (N‐CPC‐ETC‐SSU) by incorporating energy metrics for solving contemporary issue of water scarcity in the society. It will contribute to the sustainable development of society and recede the dependency on fossil fuels, too. The energy metrics investigation is important for energy system because it talks about the feasibility of the system. The methodology consists of getting fundamental equations from energy balance equations. All fundamental equations with relevant data are fed to the code developed in MATLAB followed by the computation of overall energy and exergy. All types of climatic situations have been considered for the analysis. Data required for the same are accessed from IMD, Pune, India. The energy payback period, energy production factor, and life cycle conversion efficiency for N‐CPC‐ETC‐SSU have been calculated at eight number of collectors, 0.012 mass flow rate and 0.14 m water depth. Results of N‐CPC‐ETC‐SSU have been compared with results of SSU included with ETCs. Concludingly, energy payback period is lower by 6.41%, energy production factor is higher by 6.25% and exergy‐based life cycle conversion efficiency is higher by 96.39% for N‐CPC‐ETC‐SSU than N‐ETC‐SSU.

ABSTRACT Concerning the objectives of green chemistry, silica‐coated magnetite nanoparticles provide a new way to implement an efficient and effective system for assisting catalyst recovery across multiple organic reactions. With Fe3O4 spheres serving as the core shell, the synthesis of sulfonic acid‐functionalized silica‐coated magnetic nanoparticles is presented in this paper. FTIR, PXRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, TGA, XPS, and VSM techniques were used to assess the prepared catalyst. The proposed nanocatalyst was employed to produce biological relevance 2‐substituted benzimidazole and bis indole methane derivatives. High yield, quick reaction time, soothing reaction conditions, extended functional group tolerance, and an accessible workup approach are the main advantages of synthesized nanoparticles. Furthermore, the present nanocatalyst may be recovered using an external magnet and retaining its effectiveness for up to six cycles. These are distinctive functions of the present approach.

The interaction of four benzothiazole tethered triazole analogues (MS43, MS70, MS71, and MS78) with human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using various spectroscopic techniques (ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) light absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), molecular docking and density functional theory (DFT) studies). Fluorescence quenching constants (~1012) revealed a static mode of quenching and binding constants (Kb ~104) indicating the strong affinity of these analogues for HSA. Further alteration in the secondary structure of HSA in the presence of these analogues was also confirmed by far UV–CD spectroscopy. The intensity loss in CD studied at 222 nm indicated an increase in random coil/β‐sheet conformations in the protein. Binding energy values (MS71 (−9.3 kcal mol−1), MS78 (−8.02 kcal mol−1), MS70 (−7.16 kcal mol−1) and MS43 (−6.81 kcal mol−1)) obtained from molecular docking revealed binding of these analogues with HSA. Molecular docking and DFT studies validated the experimental results, as these four analogues bind with HSA at site II through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The title compound, C(15)H(9)ClO(2), is a synthetic flavonoid obtained by the cyclization of 3-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-1-(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one. The 4-chloro-phenyl ring is twisted at an angle of 11.54° with respect to the chromen-4-one skeleton. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are inter-connected by weak Cl⋯Cl inter-actions [3.3089 (10) Å] forming dimmers which are further peripherally connected through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C(10)H(9)N(3), the benzimidazol-2-amine and CH(2)-C CH units are not coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 60.36° between their mean planes. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances 3.677 (1) and 3.580 (1) Å], assembling the mol-ecules into a supra-molecular structure with a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, C(10)H(8)N(2)S, the 2-amino-benzothia-zole and propyne groups are not coplanar [dihedral angle = 71.51 (1)°]. The crystal structure is stabilized by strong inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯C, C-H⋯π and F-type aromatic-aromatic [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7826 (12) Å] inter-actions are also observed.

The title compound, C(15)H(11)Cl(2)NO, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.062 Å) and contains a single C=C double bond in a trans (E) configuration. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonding.

In the crystal of the title compound, C(17)H(20)N(2)O(2), the molecules are linked by C-H⋯O interactions. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds also occur.

The title compound, C(14)H(11)ClFNO(2), the phenyl ring (A), the chloro-fluoro-phenyl ring (B) and the central ketone O/C/O group (C) are not coplanar, with dihedral angles B/C = 31.6 (2), A/B = 21.3 (2) and A/C = 50.1 (2)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions.
