There is a significant need for novelfunctional materials to combat new and increasingproblems arising from the growth of industrialization.The main driving force for the development ofsustainable applications is the 2030 Agenda forSustainable Development, which addresses the urgentenvironmental, political and economic challengesfacing our world. The rapid development oftechnology and science, fosters the advancement inthe innovation of several new products and materialsthat can perform in sustainable applications.Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks (Ln-MOFs)have emerged as one of the most promising andversatile materials to address these concerns.
Benzylideneanilines, the condensation products of benzaldehyde and aniline derivatives, have enjoyed significant success as optical metal ion sensors due to their ability to form stable metal complexes which exhibit distinct spectral features compared to the unbound compound. However, their use in aqueous media is limited by the hydrolytic susceptibility of the C=N moiety. Hence, an in-depth investigation into the hydrolytic degradation mechanism of a series of 2-aminophenol derived Nbenzylideneanilines was conducted wherein molecular modelling techniques were applied to elucidate the “step-by-step” transformation mechanism of these compounds from a fundamental perspective.
The FORECAST Grand Innovation Challenge 2022 (GIC) is to develop a feasible innovation (prototype/product/concept) that will revolutionize the management, protection, and use of water resources in the Caribbean.
