A facile route to prepare catalytically active materials from a liquid metal alloy is introduced. Sonication of liquid galinstan (GaInSn) in alkaline solution or treating it with reducing agents generates In : Sn rich microspheres that are catalytically active for electron transfer reactions such as potassium ferricyanide and 4-nitrophenol reduction.

Abstract2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and tetrabromo- or tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone were converted into pyridinium enolate betaines by reaction with pyridine or 4,4′-bipyridine. The reaction conditions were applied to poly-(4-vinylpyridine) and a modified Merrifield resin to obtain functionalized polymeric materials. These were examined in thermogravimetric analyses. Reversible photocatalytic electron transfer reactions in the presence of proflavinium and EDTA as sensitizer and sacrificial donor, respectively, were examined. All monomeric and polymeric materials, except for one, proved to be active.

The quaternary pyridinium salts Ia-Ic react with alkaline solution of potassium ferricyanide to give the condensed heterocyclic derivatives IIIa, b, IV, whereas the salts Id-If give the pyrrole derivatives IIa-IIc under the same conditions. The diaza heterocycle IIIa reacts with methyl iodide to give methoiodide V, whereas by action of bromine it produces two monobromo derivatives VIa, b. The pyrrole derivatives IIa, b give monobromo derivatives IId, e on bromination. A probable mechanism of formation of the heterocyclic derivatives is discussed.
