    An ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium perchlorate, [BMIM]­[ClO<sub>4</sub>], is synthesized and used as a reducing agent to upgrade a selected heavy oil. The effects of [BMIM]­[ClO<sub>4</sub>] on viscosity, density, SARA contents, elemental compositions, and molecular weight of the heavy oil are studied. The results show that the heavy oil treated with [BMIM]­[ClO<sub>4</sub>] has reduction in viscosity and density. The results also indicate that the presence of [BMIM]­[ClO<sub>4</sub>] significantly changes the composition of the heavy oil. Moreover, the effects of [BMIM]­[ClO<sub>4</sub>] on the interfacial tension (IFT) of oil–water and oil recovery are tested. Results shows that [BMIM]­[ClO<sub>4</sub>] can improve the mobility of heavy oil by reducing the IFT of oil–water and increase the recovery factor by 79.94%

    DNA sensing always has an open meadow of curiosity for biotechnologists and other researchers. Recently, in this field, we have introduced an emerging class of molecules containing azo and guanidine functionalities. In this study, we have synthesized three new compounds (<b>UA1</b>, <b>UA6</b> and <b>UA7</b>) for potential application in DNA sensing in alcoholic medium. The synthesized materials were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-visible, <sup>1</sup>H NMR and <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopies. Their DNA sensing potential were investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy. The insight of interaction with DNA was further investigated by electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry) and hydrodynamic (viscosity) studies. The results showed that compounds have moderate DNA binding properties, with the binding constants range being 7.2 x 10<sup>3</sup>, 2.4 x 10<sup>3</sup> and 0.2 x 10<sup>3</sup>M<sup>-1</sup>, for <b>UA1</b>, <b>UA6</b> and <b>UA7</b>, respectively. Upon binding with DNA, there was a change in colour (a blue shift in the <i>λ</i><sub>max</sub> value) which was observable with a naked eye. These results indicated the potential of synthesized compounds as DNA sensors with detection limit 1.8, 5.8 and 4.0ng µl<sup>-1</sup> for <b>UA1</b>, <b>UA6</b> and <b>UA7</b>, respectively
