Graphical Abstract: On the basis of currently revised thermodynamic data for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) hydrolysis and photolytic equilibria in addition to original thermodynamic and graphical approach, used in this paper, the repartition of their soluble and insoluble chemical species has been investigated. By means of the diagrams “ΔG – pH”, the areas of thermodynamic stability of chromium(III) hydroxide have been established for a number of the analytical concentration of Cr(III) in heterogeneous mixtures. The obtained calculated results correlate well with existing experimental data.

Graphical Abstract: Old icons, especially those involved in liturgical rituals are affected in time by external agents factors (temperature, humidity, light, pollution, microbiological attack, abrasion etc.), resulting changes of the appearance. Based on the literature in the field, a series of alcoholic solutions of different concentrations were made, as such or basified, which were compared with ecologic synergic systems based on organic uncolored vegetable juices and decoctions from dried plants. The cleaning effectiveness was done by visual analysis and CIE L * a * b * reflection colorimetry, this technique permitting to determine by color deviations the critical point where the patina and polychromy.

Graphical Abstract: Kajaran town is situated in the south-east of the Republic of Armenia in Syunik Marz. Developed mining and smelting industries can be observed in this area. Six the most risky sites in this area and an unpolluted site as a control were selected for the study. The content of metals was determined by means of ELAN 9000 ICP-MS System. Study results revealed the increase up to 17 times in contents of following metals: Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr, Sr, Mo, Cd, Pb, As. Experiments have led us to the assumption that pollution of soils with heavy metals in the studied territory is conditioned by human activities, particularly by mining and smelting industry.

Graphical Abstract: Processes of removal of divalent ions of iron and manganese and hydrogen sulfide from groundwater at various pH values and temperature were studied. Obtained results have been used in order to elaborate a process of groundwater purification from the mentioned pollutants. The use of elaborated process for natural water leads to the decrease of the content of iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide below the maximum allowable concentrations.

Graphical Abstract: Dinuclear nickel(II) pivalate with µ-aqua- and di-µ-pivalato-bridges having monodentate pivalato and monodentate pivalic acid molecules, [Ni₂{O₂CC(CH₃)₃}₄(OH₂){HO₂CC(CH₃)₃}₄], was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies, temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities (4.5—300K), and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The magnetic data analysis showed a ferromagnetic interaction between the two nickel atoms.

Graphical Abstract: 3-(4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl-1-(4-isothiocyanatophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one was obtained from the corresponding N,N-dimethylthyoureas by elimination of dimethylamine at heating with gaseous hydrogen chloride in chloroform and 1-(4-isothiocyanatophenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-il)prop-2-en-1-one by treating 1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-(3-(pyridin-2-il)-acryloyl)-phenyl)thyourea with acetic anhydride. For all obtained compounds in the course of reaction the antileukemia activity was investigated.

Graphical Abstract: The pseudo Jahn-Teller effect is employed to explane the origin of structural distortions of carbonyl fluoride, diazene and ketene molecules in the lowest singlet and triplet excited states. It was shown that in all the cases the distortions of the molecules in the excited states are due to the vibronic mixing of considered states with the appropriate by symmetry higher-lying excited states.
