A solvent-free method for the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) by iodoquaternization of alkenes with N-heteroarenes was reported. Its advantages lie in energy-saving and clean production by using iodine as the oxidant and manual grinding the starting materials, together with the complete atom economy and low process mass intensity (PMI) value. Demonstrated by 50 examples, the generated QAS was proved to be able to produce valuable chemicals, such as biological protease inhibitors, anti-cancer agents, and organic fluorescent materials.

This study investigates the HO and CO sorption behavior of two chemically distinct polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based ion exchange sorbents: a primary amine and a permanently charged strong base quaternary ammonium (QA) group with (bi)carbonate counter anions. We compare their distinct interactions with HO and CO through simultaneous thermal gravimetric, calorimetric, gas analysis, and molecular modeling approaches to evaluate their performance for dilute CO separations like direct air capture. Thermal and hybrid (heat + low-temperature hydration) desorption experiments demonstrate that the QA-based sorbent binds both water and CO more strongly than the amine counterparts but undergoes degradation at moderate temperatures, limiting its compatibility with thermal swing regeneration.

Listeria monocytogenes is pervasive in agricultural environments and difficult to eradicate from food-processing facilities. Consequently, various foods become contaminated, posing health risks to immunocompromised individuals. This surveillance study aimed to enhance the understanding of the genetic diversity, virulence, plasmid content, sanitizer tolerance, and antibiotic resistance of L.

Phosphorylated structural analogs of Benzalkonium Chloride-diisopropoxyphosphorylmethane (dimethyldodecylammonium) bromide 1 (phosphorylated quaternary ammonium salt) and isopropoxyphosphorylmethane (dimethylalkylammonium) 2 (phosphorylated betaine) were synthesized. The structure of compound 1 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The antibacterial, antifungal, and ecotoxicological profiles of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against aquatic organisms and flowering plants.

Disinfectant wipes are widely used to reduce microbial contamination on surfaces, yet there is limited information on how viruses are physically removed or chemically inactivated during wiping. This study aimed to address this gap by comparing the contributions of physical removal and chemical inactivation to overall disinfection efficacy. Glass and vinyl coupons were contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 surrogates, bovine coronavirus (BCoV), or human coronavirus OC43, at an initial titer of 5-6 log TCID/surface with 5% soil load.
