- Rust-free building materials are crucial for ensuring the durability and structural stability of constructions. Corrosion, a widespread issue affecting metals like steel, copper, and concrete, can be effectively managed with the help of corrosion inhibitors. One effective method for corrosion inhibition involves the application of corrosion-inhibiting coatings, which form resilient and tightly adherent films on metal surfaces. Flavonoids, renowned for their diverse biological activities, demonstrate significant anticorrosive properties. They contain beneficial compounds such as antioxidants and chelating agents. The efficacy of plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors is influenced by their organic constituents, particularly phenols and flavonoids. Flavonoids act by creating a protective film that serves as a barrier, shielding the metal surface from corrosive agents and limiting their access to the metal. This contributes to the prevention of corrosion. The integration of flavonoids into building materials has the potential to transform corrosion prevention practices, leading to improved durability, reduced maintenance costs, and a more environmentally friendly built environment. This article explores the promising prospects of flavonoids as an innovative and sustainable approach to corrosion prevention in building materials. Additionally, it aims to stimulate further research endeavors, fostering the development of effective and eco-friendly corrosion protection strategies for the construction industry.

- Cobalt ferrite nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized by analytical techniques such as FESEM, EDS and XRD. The average crystallite size was found to be in the range of 10–12 nm with a cubic structure. Further, the nanocomposite was used for the detection of guanine (GU) and uric acid (UA) and found to be an efficient electrode modifier. The lower limit of detection for GU and UA was found to be 300 nM and 400 nM, respectively.

- This work reports the enantioresolution of (RS)-acebutolol (ACB) by a thin-layer chromatographic method involving colistin sulfate (CS) as chiral selector. For this purpose, glass plates of dimension (12 cm × 4 cm × 0.4 cm) were prepared and used in four different approaches. The chiral selector was used in four different approaches before or during the chromatographic processes. Out of several mobile phase systems tried, the mobile phase system MeCN–MeOH−H2O (5.5:2.5:1.0, V/V) was found to be successful for better resolution (RS = 2.2). To confirm the elution order, the chromatograms of (RS)-ACB were developed along with the pure enantiomer of ACB, i.e., (R)-ACB, and it was concluded that (R)-ACB eluted before (S) enantiomer. The detection limit for each enantiomer of ACB was found in the range 12−15 μg spot−1. The developed method can be applied for the enantioresolution of ACB and its analogs in dosage formulations.
