Environmental contextWater is an essential compound for life; however, several factors limit the amount available for human consumption. Every day, thousands of pollutants are discharged into drinking water. Here, new materials that are efficient as adsorbents and photocatalysts for pollutants are reported. AbstractMontmorillonite was treated with Ti-based solutions doped with various transition metal cations, leading after calcination at 500°C to new doped Ti-pillared montmorillonite solids. These solids were characterised by elemental chemical analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform (FT)-IR spectroscopy, thermal analyses, nitrogen adsorption, acidity evaluation and electron microscopy. The performance of these solids in the degradation of methylene blue and the adsorption of trimethoprim was evaluated.

A mixed-ligand orotato (HOr) complex of Cu(II) with 2,2’-bipyridine (bipy) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, UV-vis and FT-IR spectroscopy, TG / DTA techniques and X-ray diffraction analysis. X-Ray diffraction analysis has shown that the squarepyramidal five-coordinate copper atom is chelated by the deprotonated N3 pyrimidine atom and the carboxylate oxygen atom of the bidentate orotato dianion, and to the two nitrogen atoms of the 2,2’- bipyridine molecule. A water molecule is attached above the N3O plane. Thermal analyses showed that the title compound decomposes in two steps over the range 20 - 1000 °C on heating in a static air atmosphere. Intermolecular hydrogen-bonds and π-ring interactions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

Photothermal materials are attracting more and more attention. In this research, we synthesized a ferrocene-containing polymer with magnetism and photothermal properties. The resulting polymer was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Its photo-thermocatalytic activity was investigated by choosing methylene blue (MB) as a model compound. The degradation percent of MB under an irradiated 808 nm laser reaches 99.5% within 15 min, and the degradation rate is 0.5517 min−1, which is 145 times more than that of room temperature degradation. Under irradiation with simulated sunlight, the degradation rate is 0.0092 min−1, which is approximately 2.5 times more than that of room temperature degradation. The present study may open up a feasible route to degrade organic pollutants.

The development of straightforward reproducible methods for the preparation of new photoluminescent coordination polymers (CPs) is an important goal in luminescence and chemical sensing fields. Isophthalic acid derivatives have been reported for a wide range of applications, and in addition to their relatively low cost, have encouraged its use in the preparation of novel lanthanide-based coordination polymers (LnCPs). Considering that the photoluminescent properties of these CPs are highly dependent on the existence of water molecules in the crystal structure, our research efforts are now focused on the preparation of CP with the lowest water content possible, while considering a green chemistry approach. One- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) LnCPs were prepared from 5-aminoisophthalic acid and Sm3+/Tb3+ using hydrothermal and/or microwave-assisted synthesis. The unprecedented LnCPs were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCRXD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their photoluminescence (PL) properties were studied in the solid state, at room temperature, using the CPs as powders and encapsulated in poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) films, envisaging the potential preparation of devices for sensing. The materials revealed interesting PL properties that depend on the dimensionality, metal ion, co-ligand used and water content.

The interaction between the uranyl cation, (UO2)2+, and organic species is of interest due to the potential applications of the resulting compounds with regard to nuclear waste disposal and nuclear fuel reprocessing. The hydrothermal reaction of various uranyl compounds with flexible zwitterionic 1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)]bis(pyridin-1-ium-4-carboxylate) dihydrochloride (Bpmb·2HCl) in deionized water containing drops of H2SO4resulted in the formation of a novel two-dimensional uranyl coordination polymer, namely poly[tetraoxido{μ2-1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)]bis(pyridin-1-ium-4-carboxylate)}di-μ3-sulfato-diuranium(VI)], [(UO2)2(SO4)2(C20H16N2O4)]n, (1). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that this coordination polymer exhibits a layered arrangement and the (UO2)2+centre is coordinated by five equatorial O atoms. The structure was further characterized by FT–IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The polymer shows high thermal stability up to 696 K. Furthermore, the photoluminescence properties of (1) has also been studied, showing it to exhibit a typical uranyl fluorescence.

This study reports a green method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the aqueous extract of Salix aegyptiaca extract. The effects of gold salt concentration, extract concentration and extract quantity were investigated on nanoparticles synthesis. Novel methods of ideally synthesizing AuNPs are thus thought that are formed at ambient temperatures, neutral pH, low costs and environmentally friendly fashion. AuNPs were characterized with different techniques such as UV–vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and TEM. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that gold nanoparticles were functionalized with biomolecules that have primary carbonyl group, -OH groups and other stabilizing functional groups. TEM experiments showed that these nanoparticles are formed with various shapes and X-ray diffraction pattern showed high purity and face centered cubic structure of AuNPs. For electrochemical properties of AuNPs, a modified glassy carbon electrode using AuNPs (AuNPs/GCE) was investigated. The results show that electronic transmission rate between the modified electrode and [Fe (CN)6]3-/4- increased.

The present work deals with the investigation of the transformations of the solid and liquid phases at high energy planetary ball milling of toluene together with titanium powder. The sequence of structural toluene transformations using FT-IR spectroscopy was investigated. Phase constitutions and morphology of ball milled titanium powders were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that mechanically induced destruction of toluene occurs by the mechanism of catalytic cracking. During ball milling, concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons in the liquid phase decreases, at the same time the content of alkenes, cycloalkanes, and isoalkanes increases. The main solid products of the mechanosynthesis were cubic and hexagonal titanium carbo-hydrides.Evolution of lattice parameters, crystallites sizes, and micro-stresses of the solid phases during ball milling as a function of the mechanical energy dose have been discussed.

In this research, a two-step extraction approach was developed for chitin preparation from shrimp shells by utilizing citric acids and deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which effectively removed minerals and proteins. In the first step, minerals of shrimp shells were removed by citric acid, and the demineralization efficiency reached more than 98%. In the second step, the removal of protein was carried out using deep eutectic solvents with the assistance of microwave, and the deproteinization efficiency was more than 88%. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the quality of DES-prepared chitin was comparable to that of traditional acid/alkali-prepared chitin. These results were realized without utilizing hazardous chemicals, which are detrimental to the environment. This research indicates that a DES-based preparation approach has the potential for application in the recovery of biopolymers from natural resources.
