A new ruthenium(II) complex (cis-ruthenium-bis[2,2′-bipyridine]-bis[4-aminothiophenol]-bis[hexafluorophosphate]) has been synthesized and characterized using standard analytical and spectroscopic techniques, FTIR, 1H and 13C-NMR, UV/vis, elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, and potentiometric titration. Investigation of the synthesized complex with metal ions showed that this complex has photochemical properties that are selective and sensitive toward the presence of mercuric ion in aqueous solution. The detection limit for mercuric ions using UV/vis spectroscopy was estimated to be ~ 0.4 ppm. The results presented herein may have an important implication in the development of a spectroscopic selective detection for mercuric ions in aqueous solution.

In this paper, we demonstrated a novel method for the preparation of highly conductive polyaniline (PANI) compounded with Sn(OH)4. We obtained the PANI directly in the oxidation polymerization system via simultaneous reaction of aniline (using ammonium persulfate, APS as oxidant) and SnCl4 in carbamide aqueous solution. The resulting PANI was compounded with Sn(OH)4 had been characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscope and conductivity measurements, and the results showed that PANI was in well doped state due to the hydrolysis of APS and the complex between PANI and Sn(OH)4. We are sure this alkali-guided polymerization to obtain conductive PANI will lead to the preparation of a new class of PANI composites.

Bis-aldehyde monomers 4-(4′-formyl-phenoxy)benzaldehyde (3a), 3-methoxy-4-(4′-formyl-phenoxy)benzaldehyde (3b), and 3-ethoxy-4-(4′-formyl-phenoxy)benzaldehyde (3c) were synthesized by etherification of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (1) with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2a), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2b), and 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2c), respectively. Each monomer was polymerized with p-phenylenediamine and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether to yield six poly(azomethine)s. Single crystal X-ray diffraction structures of 3b and 3c were determined. The structural characterization of the monomers and poly(azomethine)s was performed by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. Physicochemical properties of polymers were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), viscometry, UV–vis, spectroscopy and photoluminescence. These polymers were subjected to electrical conductivity measurements by the four-probe method, and their conductivities were found to be in the range 4.0 × 10−5 to 6.4 × 10−5 Scm−1, which was significantly higher than the values reported so far.

We demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo an interaction with Hg2+ found in traces. The PEG-PVP-stabilized Ag nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via a reduction approach and characterized with surface plasmon resonance UV/Vis spectroscopy. By utilizing the redox reaction between Ag nanoparticles and Hg2+, and the resulted decrease in UV/Vis signal, we develop a colorimetric method for detection of Hg2+ ion. A linear and inversely proportional relationship was found between the absorbance intensity of the Ag nanoparticles and the concentration of Hg2+ ion over the range from 10 ppm to 1 ppm at absorption on 411 nm. The detection limit for Hg2+ ions in homogeneous aqueous solutions is estimated to be 1 ppm. This system shows excellent selectivity for Hg2+. The results found have potential implications in the development of new colorimetric sensors for easy and selective detection and monitoring of mercuric ions in aqueous solutions. The proposed method was successfully applied to quantify the amount of mercury in seafood.

In this work, the 4-ethoxy-2-methyl-5-(4-morpholinyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone (or emarfazone, C11H17N3O3) compound, which has many biological functions, has been investigated using FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR (in CDCl3 solvent), and UV-vis (in ethanol solvent) spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, the optimized molecular structure, conformational analysis, vibrational frequencies and their assignments, 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift values (in gas phase and CHCl3 solvent), HOMO–LUMO, MEP (molecular electrostatic potential), NBO (natural bond orbital) analyses, and nonlinear optical (NLO) parameters of the title compound in the ground state have been explored by using DFT/HSEH1PBE method with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The electronic absorption maximum wavelengths and oscillator strengths (in gas phase and ethanol solvent) were also obtained at TD-DFT/HSEH1PBE level. A comparison among the experimental and calculated results at the mentioned level indicates that the vibrational frequencies and maximum electronic absorption wavelengths are in good agreement with each other.

Targeting biotin receptors in cancer cells can improve specifying of photosensitizers (PSs) for cancer treatment by photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. Consequently, there has been extensive research focusing mainly on the design of PSs with optimized pharmaceutical properties and better targeting toward cancer cells. Herein a tailored mono-biotinylated zinc(II) phthalocyanine (Pc-1) substituted with six phenoxy-bis(triazolyl) substituents has been synthesized. This Pc-1 has been further modified to its cationic version (Pc-2) through quaternizing of the triazole moiety to gain water solubility. Both non-ionic zinc(II) phthalocyanine (Pc-1) and its cationic derivative (Pc-2) were characterized by standard spectroscopic techniques, namely; FT-IR, 1H and [Formula: see text]C NMR, UV-Vis and MALDI-TOF, and by elemental analysis. The photophysical and photochemical properties were evaluated in DMSO for the non-ionic Pc-1 and in both DMSO and water for the cationic Pc-2.

AbstractThe interaction of eosin B dye from aqueous solution with MIL-100(Fe) and functionalized MIL-100(Fe) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported in this study. MIL-100(Fe) was prepared and functionalized with thioglycolic acid (TH) and ethylenediammine (ED) separately by incorporating the thiol (–SH) and the amine (–NH2) group of the functionalizing agents into the open metal sites of the MIL-100(Fe) to obtain the acidic (TH-MIL-100) and basic (ED-MIL-100) forms of the MOF respectively. Characterization of the MOFs was done by melting point analysis, elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powdered X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis. The adsorption experiments were carried out at different conditions such as pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration of the dye to estimate the optimum conditions and the maximum adsorption capacities. Adsorption capacities were observed to increase in the order of ED-MIL-100 < MIL-100 < TH-MIL-100, while the TH-MIL-100 was the most effective in the removal process due to acid–base interaction between the acidic thiol group (–SH) and the alkaline medium of eosin B dye solution. The Langmuir Isotherm was seen to fit well to adsorption data obtained for all three adsorbent materials studied, and adsorption processes followed the pseudo-second order kinetics. This study, therefore, indicates the suitability of functionalization of MIL-100(Fe) towards improving its adsorption capacity.

Synthesis of the MIL-100 metal-organic framework particles was carried out by hydrothermal (HT) and microwave (MW)-assisted methods. Transmission electron microscopy showed formation of microparticles in the course of hydrothermal synthesis and nanoparticles for microwave-assisted synthesis. Powder X-ray diffraction confirmed formation of larger crystallites for hydrothermal synthesis. Particle aggregation in aqueous solution was observed by dynamic light scattering. However, the stability of both samples could be improved in acetic acid solution. Nitrogen sorption isotherms showed high porosity of the particles. ᶫ-leucine molecule was used as a model molecule for loading in the porous micro- and nanoparticles. Loading was estimated by FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. UV-VIS spectroscopy quantified ᶫ-leucine release from the particles in aqueous solution. Cytotoxicity studies using the HeLa cell model showed that the original particles were somewhat toxic, but ᶫ-leucine loading ameliorated the toxic effects, likely due to signaling properties of the amino acid.

The effects of various complexing agents on the homogeneous reduction of mercuric salts by molecular hydrogen in aqueous solution were determined. In all cases the kinetics suggest that the rate-determining step is a bimolecular reaction between a mercuric ion or complex and a hydrogen molecule, probably leading to the formation of an intermediate mercury atom. The reactivity of various mercuric complexes was found to decrease in the following order: HgSO4 > Hg++ > HgAc2, HgPr2 > HgCl2 > HgBr2 > Hg(EDA)2++. Addition of anions such as OH−, CO3=, Ac−, Pr−, and Cl−, in excess of the amounts required to form stable mercuric complexes, was found to increase the rate. An interpretation of these effects is given.
