Pure amine-bis(phenol) ligands are readily accessible in high yield, often >90%, when the Mannich condensation reactions are performed “on water” or in poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG). Microwave-assisted synthesis dramatically reduces the time and energy required to prepare these molecules, typically from 24 h to 5 min. The approach seems to be widely applicable (7 amines and 5 phenols were tested to yield a diverse set of bis(phenol) ligands). Significant improvements in yield were observed for ligands derived from di-tert-amyl and di-tert-butyl phenols, possibly resulting from a hydrophobic effect. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data for the ligand derived from p-cresol and N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine is reported.Key words: amine-phenol, Mannich condensation, on water, microwave, ligand, high-throughput.

Abstract In this study, an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and convenient method for preparing biocompatible fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) by one-pot microwave assisted synthesis from the leaf extract of the medicinal plant Calotropis gigantea, also known as crown flower, has been demonstrated. As-synthesized CQDs demonstrated fluorescence quantum yields up to 4.24 percent. The size distribution of the as-synthesized CQDs varied from 2.7 to 10.4 nm, with a significant proportion of sp2 and sp3 carbon groups verified by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The zeta potential of as-synthesized CQDs was measured to be –13.8 mV, indicating the existence of a negatively charged surface with incipient instability in aqueous suspension. Furthermore, as an alternative to organic or synthetic dyes, the development of simple, inexpensive, and non-destructive fluorescence-based staining agents are highly desired. In this regard, as-synthesized CQDs shown remarkable fluorescent staining capabilities in this work and may be utilised as a suitable probe for optical and bio-imaging of bacteria, fungi, and plant cells.

Synthesis of 3,5-dibenzyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole was accomplished via a conventional method as well as microwave irradiation method, followed by diazotization and coupling with 2,4-pentanedione. The dinucleating ligand was isolated and complexed with Ni(II), Cu(II) and Ru(III) chlorides. These complexes were screened on Jurkat, Raji & PBMC cell lines for anticancer activity. Ruthenium complexes showed potential anticancer activities.

ABSTRACTIn this work, 3 simple, fast, labour and energy efficient methodologies were used to prepare carbon quantum dots (C-dots) using a red beetroot (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris var. vulgaris) aqueous extract as the carbon source: alkali-assisted (AA), microwave-assisted (MA) and alkali-microwave-assisted (AMA) synthesis. TEM images shows nanoparticles with a nearly spherical morphology and diameters around 7.0 nm. FTIR spectra show characteristic peaks of C-H, C-O, O-H and C=C bonds for all the samples. The emission spectra show an interesting feature of the as-prepared samples: the emission band position can be tunable by changing the excitation wavelength. Comparing the 3 different methodologies in terms of photoluminescence properties, the one based only on the microwave-assisted heating has showed the most improved emission.
