    Abstract The effect of climate change on precipitation pattern is emerging out as a serious global challenge. However, the quantification and assessment of the climate change effect on precipitation are a challenging issue given the spatio-temporal inhomogeneity of rainfall. Previous studies mostly used only rain intensity information for the identification of climate change signature by selecting homogeneous rain regions. Rain climatology, however, has several other important characteristics like occurrence of multiple rain type, occurrence of extreme rain events and their spatial distribution. The present study provides a novel approach to combine satellite data with ground measurements for addressing this issue. In this study, the Indian subcontinent has been divided into homogeneous regions based on six different rain features, obtained from ground observations and TRMM satellite measurements of 12 years, using K-medoid clustering technique. The rain features showed distinguishable patterns in the resulting nine homogeneous rain zones and distinct behavioural patterns in the inter-relationships between the various rain features. To verify the consistency of the proposed regionalization, the recent changes in mean monsoon rain rates are then studied using 40 years of rain gauge measurements for these regions. Increasing trends in monsoon rain are observed in two homogeneous regions whereas five of them have shown decreasing signature of rain intensity. Although the present study focused only on monsoon rain over India, the results indicate the suitability of the proposed method as an efficient technique of identifying homogeneous region for other seasons and locations as well.

    Abstract A series of highly efficient, solid-state sensors for direct colorimetric detection of gaseous CO2 and SO2 is described. The basic components of the sensors are a CO2 and SO2-responsive, tertiary amino alcohol, such as triethanolamine, and a pH-indicator dye, e.g. cresol red, immobilized on a porous γ-aluminum oxide support. These sensors show distinct visual responses to low levels of CO2 and SO2 present in air. A structure–performance relationship was also established for these sensors. To increase the shelf-life, tertiary amino alcohols were covalently attached to the porous alumina support. These porous alumina-supported tertiary amino alcohols also offer potential for use as adsorbents for acidic gases such as CO2 and SO2 with the ability to selectively release these under different conditions, allowing easy separation from a gas stream.

    Abstract In today's world, a major scientific challenge is preserving the delicate balance between industrial growth and a pollutant free terrestrial environment. Thus, "greener" syntheses of commodity materials, capture and utilization of gaseous industrial by-products have become research areas of increasing significance. The pioneering work of Inoue showed a potential utilization of CO2, a major petrochemical by-product, and opened a new field of research. Inoue discovered the (porphyrin)Al(III)X catalyst systems, (X=Cl(-) or alkoxide) which copolymerize CO2 with epoxides to produce polycarbonates. This catalyst can also copolymerize epoxides and cyclic anhydrides to form polyesters. The current record describes our research aimed towards mechanistic understanding and further developments of (porphyrin)M(III)X catalyst systems. This detailed account shows the influence of the porphyrin ligands (tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), octaethylporphyrin (OEP), tetrakis-pentafluorophenylporphyrin (TFPP)), metal centers (Al, Cr, and Co) and Lewis base co-catalysts on the individual reaction steps and equilibria involved in the copolymerization processes.

    Abstract The reactivities of chromium(III) complexes LCrX, where L = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP), and 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin (OEP) and X = Cl or OH, have been studied with respect to their ability to homopolymerize propylene oxide (PO) and copolymerize PO and CO(2) to yield polypropylene oxide (PPO) and polypropylene carbonate (PPC) or propylene carbonate (PC), respectively, with and without the presence of a cocatalyst, namely, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) or PPN(+)Cl(-) (bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium chloride). The homopolymerization is notably faster (TOF ≈ 2000 h(-1) at room temperature) than copolymerization, which commonly leads to ether-rich polymers. Studies of kinetics reveal that for TPPCr(OH) with DMAP (1 equiv) the propagation reaction rate is first order in [Cr] with excess PO. With PPN(+)Cl(-) as a cocatalyst the reaction order in [Cr] and [Cl(-)] is complicated by the presence of two growing chains, and the presence of excess [Cl(-)] facilitates the formation of PC by two different backbiting mechanisms. The fixation of CO(2) is promoted by [Cl(-)] but is not greatly influenced by CO(2) pressure (1-50 bar). The reactions and polymers have been monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy, react-IR, GPC, ESI, and MALDI TOF, and NMR ((1)H, (13)C{(1)H}) spectroscopy. Notable differences are seen in these reactions when compared with earlier studies by Darensbourg et al. with salen chromium(III) systems and related aluminum(III) porphyrins.

    Abstract The reactivities of aluminum(III) complexes LAlX, where L = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP), and 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyirn (OEP) and X = Cl or OEt, have been studied with respect to their ability to homopolymerize propylene oxide (PO) and copolymerize PO and CO(2) to yield polypropylene oxide (PPO) and polypropylene carbonate (PPC), respectively, with and without the presence of a cocatalyst, namely, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) or a PPN(+) salt where the anion is Cl(-) or N(3)(-). In the presence of a cocatalyst (0.5 equiv), the TFPP complex is the most active in copolymerization to yield PPC, with the latter being effective even at 10 bar CO(2). An increase in the PPN(+)X(-)/[Al] ratio decreases the rate of PPC formation and favors the formation of propylene carbonate, (PC). Studies of the polymers formed in reactions involving Al-alkoxide initiators and PPN(+) salts by mass spectrometry indicate that one chain is grown per Al center. These results are compared with earlier studies where the reactions display first order kinetics in the metal complex.

    Abstract Biomass has emerged as a potential alternative feedstock to dwindling fossil fuel reserves. Starting in the 1990s, extensive research has been directed towards the synthesis of useful platform chemicals from cellulosic biomass. Chemical conversion processes of biomass have evolved as a parallel approach to thermochemical and enzymatic synthetic routes. In this review, we summarize the recent developments in liquid phase chemical conversions of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The reaction processes explored are hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, esterification, etherification, glycosylation, dehydration, as well as the functionalization of the polysaccharide backbone. Our review follows a “process-driven” approach where the existing carbohydrate conversion pathways are classified according to the types of chemical processes involved.

    Abstract A series of porphyrin metal(III) complexes of general formula LMX (L = tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), octaethylporphyrin (OEP), tetrakispentafluorophenylporphyrin (TFPP), M = Al, Cr, Co, X = Cl, OH or OEt); has been investigated as catalyst systems for the copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) and cyclic anhydrides to produce polypropylene carboxylates, with and without a Lewis base cocatalyst: bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium chloride (PPN⁺Cl⁻). The highest rate of copolymerization was observed with 1.0 equiv. cocatalyst and the use of phthalic anhydride (PA) monomer allowed the formation of higher molecular weight polyesters. The terpolymerization of PO, cyclic anhydride and CO₂ produced poly(ester-b-carbonates). With PPN⁺Cl⁻ cocatalyst, TPPCrCl catalyst system produced two polymer chains per metal. The polymerization processes were followed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and polymer samples were characterized by GPC, Mass (ESI and MALDI TOF) and NMR (¹H, ¹³C{¹H}) spectroscopy. The observed results are compared with earlier studies of salen and related complexes.

    Abstract 5,10,15,20-Tetraphenylporphyrin chromium chloride (TPPCrCl) with added [Ph₃PNPPh₃]⁺Cl– (PPN⁺Cl–) selectively polymerizes lactide (l and rac) dissolved in neat propylene oxide (PO) to yield polylactide (PLA) terminated by the −OCHMeCH₂Cl group. At 0 °C and below, rac-LA yields polymers highly enriched in isotactic tetrads (iii). At 25 °C, some stereoselectivity is lost as transesterification becomes significant, and at 60 °C and above, enchainment of PO leads to the formation of 3,6-dimethyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one by a backbiting mechanism. At 0 °C, after the enchainment of l-(S,S)-LA in neat (R)-(+)-PO, the formation of (3S,6R)-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one occurs, while at higher temperatures the ratio of (3S,6R)-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one to (3R,6R)-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one falls to 3:2.
