The present study describes the synthesis of a chromophoric system 2-(5-(4-dimethylamino-benzylidin)-4-oxo-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-3-yl)acetic acid and its incorporation into starch through esterification of the hydroxyl group by the free carboxyl function of the chromophoric system by DCC coupling. The products were characterized by UV-visible, fluorescence, FT-IR, and NMR spectroscopic methods. The newly developed system was subjected to photoresponsive studies such as light absorption, light stabilization and fluorescence emission. The free chromophoric system and the coupled product were also subjected to thermal analysis. The results show that modification enhances the light absorption and light fastening properties of the chromophoric system. Thermal stability of the polymeric system greatly enhances on attaching the chromophoric system. In view of these results the newly developed system is proposed as a nature friendly, green, and photoactive product which could find application in dyes, inks, paints, and so forth.

In this paper we have explored a novel and green method to synthesis and polymerize ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM). This technique consists on using Maghnite (Algerian clay) as a green catalyst to replace toxic catalysts. The Algerian clay has been modified using two ion exchange process to obtain Maghnite-H+ (proton exchanged process) and Maghnite-Na+ (sodium exchanged process). Synthesis experiments of EGDM and Poly (EGDM) are performed in bulk respecting the principles of green chemistry. The structure of the obtained monomer and the obtained polymer was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, where the methacrylate end groups are clearly visible. The presence of unsaturated end group in the structure of monomer was confirmed by UV-Visible analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to study the thermal stability of these obtained products. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group. All rights reserved

Abstract: The suspended dust particles that blow across Nigeria as a result of north-east trade wind emanating from the Sahara desert annually are locally referred to as Harmattan. Suspended dust samples were collected across ten different stations in Nigeria; namely: Maiduguri (11º49'N, 13º09'E), Potiskum (11º43'N, 11º02'E), Bauchi (10º17'N, 09º 48'E), Jos (9º55'N, 8º55'E), Lafia (08º49'N, 07º50'E), Abuja (09º09'N, 07º11'E), Minna (9º36'N, 06º35'E), Ilorin (8º36'N, 4º 35'E), Oyo (8º12'N, 3º42'E) and Iwo (7º63'N, 4º19'E) and analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The quantitative, qualitative and optical characterization analyses were carried out on all the samples collected across all the stations considered, in order to obtain the functional groups and some elements present in the samples. The FT-IR spectra peaks show that the transmittance waveband from 3337.8 cm-1 to 3291.2 cm-1 corresponds to the Hydroxyl group, H-bonded OH stretch in plane and out of plane bonds for all the stations considered. These bonds represent the presence of transition metals and unsaturated bonds found in the samples, which include K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, As, Zr, Pb, V, Sr, Cr and Ce. The samples collected across all stations have maximum UV absorbance peaks at around 210 nm waveband and weak visible light absorbance peaks (orange – red spectra) around 620 nm and 700 nm. The study concluded that the transmittance waveband, the waveband absorbance peaks and the elemental composition of the dust samples analyzed vary from station to station. This study will however recommend that further study be made for the purpose of environmental awareness. Keywords: Harmattan, Particles, FT-IR, UV, Dust.

Abstract Gold loaded TiO2 nanoparticles have been synthesized and characterized by powder XRD, HR-TEM, and EDX analysis. The binding interaction of fluorescent sensor 5-amino-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (fluorochrome) with TiO2 and gold loaded TiO2 nanoparticles has been discussed herein. The interaction of fluorochrome with TiO2 and gold loaded TiO2 nanoparticles has been studied by UV-visible, fluorescence, and FT-IR spectral techniques. The fluorescence emission occurs at 421 nm and this has been selectively enhanced by TiO2 nano semiconductor. This technique is sensitive to detect and estimate TiO2 nano semiconductor at a micromolar level. This switch-on fluorescence is suppressed when it is loaded with gold. The strong adsorption of fluorochrome over the surface of nano semiconductor results in the electron transfer between fluorochrome and nano semiconductor. Further, the binding site of nano semiconductor with fluorochrome has been studied theoretically by using the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP). The results show higher electron density at the azomethine nitrogen atom.

Novel benzoxazine monomers, acrylamide based benzoxazine, have been prepared from direct condensation of phenols with acrylamide and formaldehyde. 1H NMR and FT-IR, DSC and TGA were used to analysis the structure, compositions and investigate the curing behaviour and thermal stability, respectively. Solvent effects were studied. Solventless method is good for higher formation ratio of benzoxazine to the corresponding phenolic resin. The ratio for P-AA is 36.4% by solventless method, while it’s about 26% by toluene solvent; and 44% and 20% for B-AA, respectively. The monomers mixtures exhibit curing temperature (ca.187oC) without catalysts lower than their related allyl-benzoxazine. The FT-IR of different curing temperature shows the disappearance of double bond absorption at 1668 cm-1 and oxazine ring at 1232 cm-1 and appearance of hydroxyl group at 3446 cm-1. Thermal stability of cured benzoxazine show good char residues compared with traditional benzoxazine of aniline.

   The present paper describes the synthesis and structural studies of new transition metal complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and cadmium(II) with two bi dentate ligands derived from quinoxaline-2,3-dione. The two ligands were fully identified by elemental analyses, FT-IR, NMR and UV-Visible spectra. The metal complexes of  Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) were isolated in the solid state after reactions of their metal chlorides with the ligands in 2:1 mole ratio. The isolated solid metal complexes were characterized with the help of elemental analyses, NMR, FT-IR and UV-Visible spectra. As well as the thermal stability of the coordinated quinoxaline polymers were tested by TG-DSC analysis and it is found that cleavage of terminal moiety was investigated, the strong coordinated bonds between oxygen donor atoms in L1 while nitrogen donor atoms of quinoxaline ring in the L2 with the metal ions. Furthermore, the thermal stability of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and Cd(II) complexes were screened by TG-DSC analysis and the results helped us in the investigation of the proposed structure of the prepared complexes in the formula [M(L)2Cl2].XH2O and [Cd(L)2]Cl2 where L= L1 and L2  ligands derived from quinoxaline-2,3-dione.

Present paper reports novel synthesis of MgB2 doped Polyaniline (PAni). PAni is synthesized through oxidative polymerization method using Ammonium Peroxodisulphate and doped by different compositions of MgB2. The DC conductivity of undoped and doped polymers is measured in the temperature range of 300 – 400 K and is found to increase with temperature. An increase in conductivity by five orders of magnitude has been observed after doping. Conduction mechanism was also studied in all of the samples. FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) and ultraviolet (UV)-Visible studies confirm the occurrence of PAni in conducting emeraldine salt form in the composites. The optical studies signify that absorption mechanism is due to direct allowed transition and the band gap decrease after doping. Thermal stability of all the composites has been explained on the basis of variation in Tc–Tg and ∆Hc by using DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetery) measurements.

The solubility of the compound is a crucial task for new drug design. Quinone is a promising candidate to develop as a new drug. In this research, the synthesis of 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives, that is, 2-(5-bromoamyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2a) and 2-(5-bromoamyl)-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2b) were carried out by decarboxylation and insertion reaction of alkyl bromides. The product 2a and 2b are purified using SiO2 gel column chromatography and analyzed by UV-Visible, FT-IR, and NMR. The yield of 2a is 13.75%, and 2b is 4.04%. The solubility of 2a and 2b, expressed by log P, is measured in the n-octanol/water (3:7 (v/v)) system by the shake flask method. The log P of 2a and 2b are 2.99 and 1.36, respectively. It is showed that the log P of 2a is higher compared to 2b. The presence of two methyl substituents on the quinone ring of 2a supports the increase of hydrophobicity of the compound in the n-octanol/water system.
