The reaction of Ru(κ2C,O-RL)(PPh3)2(CO)(Cl) [κ2C,O-RL is C6H2O-2-CHNHC6H4R(p)-3-Me-5 and R = Me, OMe, Cl] with excess sodium p-methylphenolate (p-MeC6H4ONa) or sodium methoxide (MeONa) in dichloromethane–methanol medium afforded the paramagnetic binuclear ruthenium(III) complexes of the type [Ru(µ:κ3C,N,O-RL)(PPh3)(CO)(OR′)]2 [κ3C,N,O-RL is C6H2O-2-CHNC6H4R(p)-3-Me-5] in moderate yield. Three different R and two different R′ groups have been used in this study: R = Me and R′ is p-MeC6H4, 2(Me); R = OMe and R′ is p-MeC6H4, 2(OMe); R = Cl and R′ is p-MeC6H4, 2(Cl); R and R′ = Me, 3. The binding of the phenolato/alkoxo ligand is attended with the cleavage of the RuC(aryl), RuCl and one of the RuP bonds in Ru(κ2C,O-RL)(PPh3)2(CO)(Cl) and the RL ligand is now coordinated with one of the metal centers in the complexes via the imine nitrogen and the phenolato oxygen atoms whereas the aryl carbon atom of the RL ligand bridges the other ruthenium center. These are the first examples of structurally characterized binuclear ruthenium(III) complexes in which the RL ligand behaves as a bridging tridentate ligand. These complexes have very similar spectral (UV–vis, IR, EPR) and electrochemical properties which are also reported. Structure determination of [Ru(µ:κ3C,N,O-MeL)(PPh3)(CO)(OR′)]2 (R′ = p-MeC6H4 and Me) has revealed a distorted octahedral RuC2O2NP coordination sphere with the pairs (C, O), (C, N), and (P, O) defining the three trans directions. The Ru⋯Ru distances in the complexes are clearly outside of the range for a RuRu single bond. The magnetic and X-band EPR spectral measurements indicate the absence of any strong magnetic interaction between the two low-spin Ru(III) centers of the complexes.

Precursors for thin-film deposition have gained increasing research interest, driven by their industrial significance. Herein, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a family of Zn complexes for ZnO fabrication via CVD, ALD/ALE, and MLD. Four zinc complexes possessing pyrrole moieties, Zn(L1)2 to Zn(L4)2 (L1H = N-tert-butyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine, L2H = N-tert-pentyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine, L3H = N-neopentyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine, and L4H = N-tert-octyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine), were synthesized and characterized using various analytical methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), and X-ray crystallography. The ligands acted as monoanionic bidentate ligands. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that complexes 2 and 4 were homoleptic monomeric conformers with distorted tetrahedral geometries, with calculated τ’4 values of 0.744 and 0.738 for 2 and 4, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis of all complexes showed a clear, single-step weight loss and exceptional volatility, with low residual masses of 0.35 − 4.41 % at 400 °C. The temperature at which a vapor pressure of 1 Torr was reached and the enthalpies of vaporization were calculated using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, resulting in values of 148 °C and 105.11 kJ/mol for 2, and 169 °C and 101.31 kJ/mol for 4, respectively.

Investigations on the complex salts that comprise the nitrilotriacetate oxidovanadium(IV) anions, [VO(nta)(H2O)]−, and cations derived from the protonation of N-heterocyclic compounds have shown that their biological activities are highly dependent on the specific biological characteristics of cancer cells. These compounds have previously been reported as ineffective anticancer agents against prostate and breast cancer cells in vitro; however, they exhibited significant selectivity for malignant cells in one particular case. As a result, these compounds demonstrate potential as antitumor agents in osteosarcoma models that involve bone-related cells in vitro. In this paper, we validate the previous findings by investigating the biological action of three [VO(nta)(H2O)]− salts with 4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridinium [4,4′-dmo-2,2′-(bpy)H]+, quinolinium [QH]+, and acridinium [(acr)H]+ counterions, namely [4,4′-dmo-2,2′-(bpy)H][VO(nta)(H2O)]H2O (1), [QH][VO(nta)(H2O)](H2O)2 (2), [(acr)H][VO(nta)(H2O)](H2O)2 (3) towards the human osteosarcoma cell line (MG-63) and the normal osteoblast cell line hFOB 1.19. Additionally, the crystal structure of [4,4′-dmo-2,2′-(bpy)H][VO(nta)(H2O)]H2O (1) is presented. The compounds studied showed a selective cytotoxic effect on tumour cells, with the selectivity index increasing in the following order 1 < 2 < 3. The mechanism of action of these salts on cells is not yet fully understood. However, these types of oxidovanadium(IV) compounds show promise as potential anticancer agents for human osteosarcoma cells.

A novel [CoIICoIII2Dy(HL)(H2L)(H3L)(hmp)3(NO3)](NO3)·3CH3OH·2H2O (1, H4L = 2-(((2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methylene)amino)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, Hhmp = 2-pyridinemethanol) complex and its diluted complex (2) were successfully obtained. One CoII, one CoIII, one DyIII and four O atoms in 1 formed a cubane missing one vertice, which was further linked with another CoIII by two O atoms from hmp− or HL3− ligand. 1 and 2 both exhibit field-induced single molecule magnet properties, with the effective energy barriers of 85.94 K and 58.03 K, respectively. Together with the theoretical calculations, this study indicated that intramolecular magnetic interactions within 1 can suppress QTM and can enhance SMM performance of 1. Moreover, the critical angle of 109.59° for the CoII⋯GdIII pair transformed from ferromagnetic coupling to antiferromagnetic coupling was first determined by DFT calculations.

Ditopic ligand containing two 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinonato fragments linked through 4-position by resorcinol bridge was utilized for synthesis of metallamacrocyclic complexes with tellurium and nickel. Both compounds consist of two metal-centered coordination units connected by two bis-dioxolenes. Coordination units have distorted octahedral geometry. Four coordinated oxygen atoms of dioxolenes form uncompleted distorted octahedron environment. The lacking sites in octahedron coordination sphere are filled with electronic lone pairs in the case of tellurium and phenanthroline ligand in the case of nickel. In contrast to previously described cobalt and nickel complexes with the same bis-dioxolene, metal units are situated not cofacially. The reason of this is saturation of coordination sphere of central atom until octahedron which excludes coordination with internal solvent molecule which can connect both metals.

Bismuth-doped M-type Barium hexagonal ferrite nanoparticles were prepared through the citrate-precursor route to examine their electromagnetic shielding properties. X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement confirmed the single-phase nature of the sample with a hexagonal structure having space group P63/mmc. Raman spectroscopy shows the presence of peaks at 172, 218, 285, 320, 405, 514, 604, and 677 cm−1 corresponding to various vibrations, including E1g, A1g, and E2g symmetries, and indicate octahedral and bipyramidal site interactions. UV–visible spectroscopy showed that increasing Bi2+ content decreased the band gap values from 1.5 eV to 1.49 eV. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy showed increased grain size with increasing Bi2+ doping and lies between 97 to 107 nm. Magnetic studies identified ferromagnetic behaviour with a significant coercivity (Hc) in the doped samples. Composition Bi0.3Ba0.7Fe12O19 with a 3 mm thickness showed a maximum reflection of −15.24 dB with 54.91 dB absorption of 11.05 GHz frequency range. The sample’s remarkable reflection and higher absorbance frequencies make it an appropriate material choice for future radar applications, particularly within the X-band frequency range (8–12 GHz).

Combining 4f-element complexes with highly conductive molecules like TMTSF (tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene) and TCNQ (tetracyanoquinodimethane) enables the preparation of multifunctional organic–inorganic hybrid materials that could demonstrate both electronic conduction and magnetic properties. These materials hold great promise for applications in molecular electronic devices and related fields. However, creating such materials poses a significant challenge due to the need to integrate both conductive and magnetic ions into the assembly networks. This review article presents the origin, development, and recent advancements in this research field. We believe that these organic–inorganic hybrid materials could behave as an intriguing platform for exploring novel types of multifunctional molecular materials and for delving into the fundamental understanding of 4f-π interactions.

Ligands based on bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene units have been used previously to obtain porous metal–organic materials, including 3D frameworks, 2D sheets, and discrete porous cages. The steric bulk of this unit helps to generate porosity in these materials, and so it has also been incorporated into porous organic cages for this purpose. In this contribution, we describe a new, nitro-functionalised ligand, LH2, containing this unit, which yields a 1D coordination network, 1, upon reaction with cobalt(II) acetate. The ligand itself is found to crystallise readily, and we describe its crystal structure and gas sorption measurements for uptake of N2. The coordination network 1 consists of linear, trinuclear Co(II) metal nodes that are bridged by pairs of ligands to create an intrinsic pore that is occupied by coordinated dimethylacetamide molecules (DMA). Solvent exchange and activation experiments were unsuccessful in removing DMA, but the orientation of the nitro-groups of the polymer into the space between the chains motivated CO2 sorption studies at room temperature, reaching nearly 0.5 mmol/g at 20 bar of absolute pressure.

Double perovskites represent a groundbreaking frontier in the advancement of renewable energy technologies, offering a unique combination of tunable properties that address the growing global demand for sustainable solutions. This study provides a comprehensive exploration of the optical, thermoelectric, thermodynamic, and mechanical properties of Na2TlSbY6 (Y = Cl,Br) using advanced Density Functional Theory (DFT) techniques. We rigorously assess the structural and thermodynamic stability of these materials through a detailed analysis of tolerance factors and formation energies, while their mechanical stability and ductility are validated via elastic constants and Pugh’s and Poisson’s criteria. Our findings reveal a notable band gap of 2.71 eV for Cs2AgBiCl6, which decreases to 1.76 eV upon the substitution of Cl with Br, driven by pronounced Pd-hybridization effects between anions and cations. A sophisticated investigation into the optical properties—encompassing dielectric constants, absorption spectra, refractive indices, and reflectivity—demonstrates strong absorption across the visible and ultraviolet regions, marking these materials as ideal candidates for high-efficiency solar cell applications.

The current study focuses on the development of highly efficient nickel oxide/titanium dioxide (NiO/TiO2) p-n heterojunction catalysts constructed via sol–gel and ultrasonic techniques. Different techniques, including XRD, SEM, EDS mapping, and XPS, confirmed the successful synthesis of the photocatalysts. The BET analysis showed that the NiO/TiO2 heterojunction has a surface area of 107.52 m2/g compared to pure NiO and TiO2 (75.37 m2/g and 89.13 m2/g) respectively. The catalyst was then implemented to decompose the antibiotic tetracycline (TC) in water under visible light. The outcomes revealed that the degradation rate of TC reached 97.69 % using NiO/TiO2, which is substantially greater than the degradation achieved with pure NiO (52.43 %) and TiO2 (71.11 %) within a 48-minute period pursuant to the most favorable circumstances. The initial rate constant of the NiO/TiO2 (0.0756 min−1) was significantly higher compared to that of the NiO (0.0153 min−1) and TiO2 (0.0261 min−1). The lower bandgap energy of the NiO/TiO2 (3.19 eV) catalyst compared to the pure NiO (3.58 eV) and TiO2 (3.29 eV) facilitated the abatement of TC due to the improved harvesting of visible light absorption. Furthermore, the study investigated the impact of several different reaction parameters and intervening anions on TC degradation. Radical trapping investigations substantiate the existence of reactive oxygen species. In addition, NiO/TiO2 catalyst exhibited extraordinary stability and maintained its catalytic efficiency despite enduring five successive cycles. Overall, the NiO/TiO2 catalyst demonstrated remarkable potential for abolishing TC-contaminated water.
