Ferrocene is an organometallic compound of the general class metallocene with the molecular formula Fe(η5-C5H5)2. In this molecule, iron is sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl rings in staggered conformation

Sodium nitrite, calcium nitrite, and other nitrites were the most well-known and sought-after inorganic-based corrosion inhibitors in the previous century. Calcium Nitrite was shown to be the most effective RCC corrosion inhibitor when compared to its alternatives.

Sodium amide is mainly used as a strong base in organic chemistry, often in liquid ammonia solution. It is the reagent of choice for the drying of ammonia (liquid or gaseous).

Monopotassium phosphate, MKP, (also potassium dihydrogenphosphate, KDP, or monobasic potassium phosphate), KH2PO4, is a soluble salt of potassium and the dihydrogen phosphate ion. It is a source of phosphorus and potassium as well as a buffering agent.

Nootkatone is a naturally occurring sesquiterpenoid with a grapefruit-like odor and slightly bitter in taste. It was first isolated from the heartwood of Cupressus nootkatensis (Alaska cedar) (Leonhardt and Berger 2015). Minute amount of it can be found in grapefruit and pummel.

Triacetin, is the organic compound with the formula C3H5(OCOCH3)3. It is classified as a triglyceride, i.e., the triester of glycerol. It is a colorless, viscous, and odorless liquid with a high boiling point and a low melting point.

β-xylosidase is an exoglycosidase with the ability to degrade the non-reducing ends of xylooligosaccharides into xylose, which is one kind of hemicellulolytic enzyme. Compared with the other β-xylosidases, Xln-DT possessed higher efficiency in xylobiose hydrolysis.

β-Glucosidases function in glycolipid and exogenous glycoside metabolism in animals, defense, cell wall lignification, cell wall β-glucan turnover, phytohormone activation, and release of aromatic compounds in plants, and biomass conversion in microorganisms.

perlite, also called pearlstone, a natural glass with concentric cracks such that the rock breaks into small pearl-like bodies. It is formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava or magma. Perlite has a waxy to pearly lustre and is commonly gray or greenish but may be brown, blue, or red.
