Metal-organic frameworks are synthesized by the self-arrangement of construction blocks. Their final structure consists of metals or metal clusters, acting as nodes; they are linked together by a spacer, such as organic molecules with multiple branches, forming a three-dimensional network, which can have a very high surface area, making it possible to accommodate host molecules in its interior.

Extracts of leaves and twigs of Fabaceae Bauhinia purpurea were collected from central and northern Amazonia and partitioned, and the flavonoid fractions were analyzed by HPLC-DAD and MS; distinct chromatographic profiles were observed, especially those indicating the presence of rutin and isoquercitrin. The extracts and flavonoid fractions exhibited excellent antioxidant activity and were comparable with that of the standard; however, they did not exhibit cytotoxicity to MDA-MB435 (lung), HCT-8 (colon), and SF-295 (glioblastoma) tumor cell lines.

A method was developed for the analysis of 31 pharmaceuticals in water by SPE-UPLC-MS/MS. Instrumental conditions were optimized to allow the quantification of trace levels of the analytes. The method was validated through the estimation of the linearity range, method detection and quantification limits, matrix effects, recovery studies, precision and accuracy.

At the end of the 19th century, a group named Occult Chemists suggested that they could "see" atoms by clairvoyance. They devised the structure of an "ultimate physical atom" (the anu), that enters in the composition of all substances and predicted the existence of isotopes.
