FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by nanoemulsion process with the use of poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (propylene glycol)-block-poly (ethylene glycol) as the surfactant. The characterization of the FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles was performed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, showing that the polymer-laced nanoparticles reveal high crystallinity, excellent dispersibility and well defined optical performance. The process of solvent dispersion-collection of FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles indicates that the nanoparticles possess good magnetic property for applications.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a new family of pentavalent uranyl amide complexes, supported also by photoluminescence and theoretical investigations. These studies reveal for the first time that the UV-visible emission of uranyl(V) is an admixture of charge transfer transitions accompanied by vibronic coupling of the quartet excited state with uranyl oxo and amide vibrations, thereby offering new insights into the electronic structure of the reactive uranyl(V)

 ABSTRACT Lignin was isolated from waste black liquor of soda pulping process. Sulfonation of soda lignin produced Sodium Lignosulfonate (NaLS) which can be used as dispersants, and concrete admixtures. In this research, sulfonation was carried out towards lignin with ratio of lignin-NaHSO3 of 1.0:0.4; 1.0:0.5; and 1.0:0.6, and initial pH of 5.00; 6.00; 7.00. Parameters observed were purity, final pH, and yield of NaLS. The upsurge of initial pH increased the final pH and NaLS yield, but decreased its purity. The upsurge of ratio of lignin-NaHSO3 increased NaLS yield and decreased its purity, but did not affect the final pH of NaLS. The chosen optimum condition was on pH of 6.00 and ratio of lignin-NaHSO3 of 1.0:0.6. Characterization of functional group using FTIR, and purity of NaLS using UV-Visible Absorption Spectrophotometer. Keywords: soda lignin, sulfonation of lignin, sodium lignosulfonate

A new series of heterocyclic Schiff bases were prepared from condensation of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acetyl/benzoyl-pyrazolone with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether, resulting in the formation of four novel Schiff base ligands. These ligands were then treated with ethanolic solution of PdCl2, to form corresponding palladium(II) complexes. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, TGA, magnetic susceptibility measurements and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. All the Pd(II) complexes were found to have one coordinated water molecule. Schiff base ligands chelated with the metal atom through two donor sites N and O of azomethine (-C=N-) and phenolic (-OH) groups, respectively.

4-(6-methyl-3-nitro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-4-yloxy)phthalonitrile has been used to prepare a novel Zn(II) phthalocyanines with four peripheral pyridone substituents. The compound has been characterized by UV-visible absorption, FT-IR and [Formula: see text]H-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy. The fluorescence, triplet quantum and singlet oxygen quantum yields have been determined and TD-DFT calculations have been used to identify trends in the electronic structure.

In this text, the Chlorinated metallic porphyrin (TPPMncl and TPPFecl) thin films were fabricated by Spin-coated technique onto quartz substrates. In order to search for the gas-sensing characterization of Chlorinated metallic porphyrin Spin-coated films, the changes of UV-Visible absorption spectrums of TPPMncl and TPPFecl Spin-coated films respectively exposed in vapor of Chloroform, pyridine, Ammonia, triethylamine and dimethylamine were analyzed. The experimental results show that, the spectral response of TPPMncl and TPPFecl on organic gas molecular is obviously found. And we know that chlorinated metallic porphyrin film formed the J-aggregates. Moreover, through two kinds of chlorinated metallic porphyrin integral area rate of histogram, it is easy to identify and distinguish between the four kinds of volatile organic compounds. It indicates that these Chlorinated metallic porphyrin have gasochromic characteristics while responding with organic gas. Therefore, these materials can be prepared into gas sensor array for detecting VOCS.

ABSTRACTCadmium based oxide and hydroxide nanocomposites material is synthesized by pulsed laser ablation of cadmium metal in the double distilled water. A piece of cadmium metal, placed on the bottom of glass vessel containing double distilled water, was irradiated with 1064 nm of pulsed Nd:YAG laser operating at 35 mJ/pulse energy and 10 ns pulse width for 30 minutes. Colloidal solution of produced Nanoparticles is found stable for two days. Fine white colored powder is obtained after drying centrifuged solution. UV-visible absorption of colloidal solution, XRD, TGA, DTA and FTIR of the powder is used for the characterization of material. Possible mechanism of synthesis and hydroxide to oxide transition is discussed.

The synthesis and physicochemical characterization of a new class of low-symmetry water soluble heteropentanuclear porphyrazine complexes are described. The investigated compounds, represented as [{Pd(OAc)[Formula: see text]}[Formula: see text](PtCl[Formula: see text]LM] •xH[Formula: see text]O where L [Formula: see text] tetrakis-2,3-[5,6-di(2-pyridyl)pyrazino]porphyrazinato dianion, M [Formula: see text] Mg[Formula: see text](H[Formula: see text]O), Zn[Formula: see text] or Pd[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] 3–8, were prepared under mild experimental conditions from the previously described heterobimetallic compounds [(PtCl[Formula: see text]LM]. Peripheral binding of one PtCl[Formula: see text]and three Pd(OAc)[Formula: see text]units in the new series of compounds occurs at the vicinal pyridine N atoms of each dipyridinopyrazine fragment via a “py–py” coordination. The newly synthesized porphyrazines were characterized by IR measurements in the solid state and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy in the polar nonaqueous solvents pyridine, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide (DMF) as well as in water, the enhanced solubility in this medium being due to the presence of the external Pd(OAc)[Formula: see text] moieties. Data on the photosensitizing activity of the compounds for the generation of singlet oxygen, [Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] were also obtained in DMF and should be of interest to researchers in the area of photodynamic therapy.
