Graphical Abstract: This review is dedicated to different fields of use of cyclodextrins, a family of three cyclic natural oligosaccharides and their derivatives. The first part of the review gives a brief description of the main and the most recent developed applications of cyclodextrins in food, cosmetic industry, environmental protection technologies and agriculture. Different products based on inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins and technologies with different use of cyclodextrins and inclusion complexes are described.

Graphical Abstract: The new ligand, bis(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde)diaminoguanizone (1) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The crystal structure of the compound was determined by X-ray diffraction. The ligand C15H15N5O2·C2H5OH crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell parameters a = 8.9102(3), b = 10.0357(3), c = 19.7618(6) Å, β = 98.385(2)°, Z = 4, V = 1748.21(9) Å3, R1 = 0.040. The amino form of the ligand adopts a planar conformation stabilized by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the type O–H···N, in which the H atoms of the central amino group are directed to the lone-pair regions of the azomethine nitrogen atoms.

Graphical Abstract: With the scope to provide complete decomposition of benzothiazoles in water environment, two approaches have been applied including the photocatalytic and biodegradation processes. A new type of continuous-action flow-through photocatalytic reactor was developed, in which it is possible to combine the homogeneous and heterogeneous destruction of refractory organic pollutants. The interactions between the different components of the aminobenzothiazole-containing system under the conditions of photo- and biodegradation (light, iron, free and immobilized bacterial strain Rhodococcus rhodochrous) were analysed. The combined systems “Fe ± light +Rh.rhodochrous” are more effective than simple systems.

Graphical Abstract: It was elaborated the methodology of synthesizing a series of new dioximates of Co(III) with the general formula [Co(DioxH)2(L)2]X⋅nH2O, where DioxH – the dioxime anione: dimethylglyoxime (DH2), 1,2-cyclohexanedionedioxime (NioxH2); L - thiocarbamide (Thio), pyridine (Py), aniline (An), sulphanilamide (Sam);X - [BF4]-, [ZrF6]2-, [TiF6]2-, whose structures have been studied with the help of contemporary physical methods: spectroscopy IR, UV-Vis, RMN 1H, 19F, X-ray analysis. There were elaborated optimal conditions of using cobalt dioximates with fluorine in order to intensify the biosynthesis of amylases and lipases by Aspergillus and Rhizopus strains, respectively. The tested compounds increase the lipolytic activity of Rhizopus arrhisus micromycetes.

Graphical Abstract: This work is devoted to the investigation of the template reactions of organic compounds derived from S-alkylisothiosemicarbazide and β-dicarbonylic compounds (acetyl(benzoyl)acetone, 2,6-diformylpyridine, 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde, sodium nitromalonic dialdehyde, 1,1,3,3-tetraetoxypropane, 3-ethoxyacroleine) in the presence of 3d-metal ions, determination of the structure and properties of the prepared complexes. There were elaborated original methods for synthesis of open-chain or macrocyclic coordination compounds of nickel(II), copper(II), oxovanadium(IV) and cobalt(II) with N4, N3O and N2O2 tetradentate ligands. Two types of hexaazamacrocyclic systems with trans- and cis- arrangement of thiosemicarbazide fragments have been obtained using template condensation of different precursors. The biostimulative properties (biomass accumulation and increasing of enzymatic activity) of complexes have been established. Some complexes of nickel(II) have been studied as coloring agents for plastics.

Graphical Abstract: The geometry of the H2O2, OH, HO2, O2 particles and the energy profiles of the initial reactions between them, that are supposed to take place during the process of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, were studied by ab initio calculations. It was shown that the differences between the energies of reactants and the products of all analysed reaction are positive values and correlate with the experimental data.
