This work describes the synthesis and characterisation of six novel Schiff base complexes, Cu(II), Pd(II), and Fe(II), which, under the right circumstances, function as very efficient catalysts for the production of cyclic carbonates from CO2 and epoxides. FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, UV–Vis spectroscopy, molar conductivity, melting point, and magnetic susceptibility measurements are among the spectroscopic methods used to characterize newly synthesized complexes. The molar conductivity values, ranging from 2.58 to 4.03 µS/cm, suggest that the complexes exhibit no molar conductivity. Co-catalysts, such as 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, pyridine, triethylamine, and triphenyl phosphine, were used in these processes, both with and without one. 4-(Dimethylamino)pyridine was used as the co-catalyst in the catalytic studies. Additionally, a number of variables that affect the cycloaddition process were examined, including the temperature, CO2 pressure, reaction time, and co-catalyst. All novel catalysts exhibited exceptional catalytic activity and selectivity in the catalytic assays. Regarding the coupling of CO2 and epichlorohydrin as epoxides, the L2-Cu catalyst outperformed other catalysts in terms of catalytic activity (90.7%) and selectivity (98.9%).

The selective oxidation of hydrocarbons (RH) by dioxygen (O2) is a very important method for industrial production of bulk oxygen-containing compounds, However, due to the high chemical inertness of RH and O2, achieving this reaction under mild conditions still faces significant challenges. This paper discloses an efficient hybridizing engineering (HE) strategy of decatungstate (DT) with 3d transition metal ions (Mn+=Ni2+, Co2+ or Cu2+)-modified carbon quantum dots (Mn+/CQD) as the dopants. Compared to pure CQD, The Mn+/CQD can more efficiently combine with DT anion to fabricate a high-quality hybrid via electrostatic interactions, thereby bestowing the hybrid with an enhanced visible light response especially the separation efficiency of photo-generated charge pairs. Furthermore, the above hybridization effects of Mn+/CQD on DT anion can be fine-tuned and gradually improved with a change of the metal ion from Cu2+, Co2+ to Ni2+, along with a continuous enhancement of the hybrid's photo-catalytic efficiency in the visible light- triggered selective oxidation of ethylbenzene with O2 in acetonitrile. The best Ni2+/CQD-doped TBADT can achieve ca. 48% ethylbenzene conversion and 87.6% acetophenone selectivity in the presence of 2 M HCl, and it also shows a much higher photo-catalytic activity for the photo-oxidation of toluene, cyclohexane and benzyl alcohol compared to pure TBADT. The HE strategy with Mn+/CQD as the cationized hybridizers is much superior to that with pure CQD or Ni2+ as the hybridizer in hoisting the photo-catalytic performance of DT.

Synthesis of C3-symmetric triarylboranes, tris(4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-borane (1), N,N',N''-(boranetriyltris(3,5-diisopropyl-3′,5′-dimethyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4′,4-diyl))tris(1,1-diphenylmethanimine) (2), N,N',N''-(boranetriyltris(3′,5′-dimethyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4′,4-diyl))tris-(1,1-diphenylmethanimine) (3), 4′,4′'',4′''''-boranetriyltris(3′,5′-dimethyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbaldehyde) (4), 4,4′,4′'-boranetriyltris(3,5-dimethylaniline) (5), 4′,4′'',4′''''-borane-triyltris(3′,5′-dimethyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbonitrile) (6), 4′,4′'',4′''''-boranetriyltris(3′,5′-dimethyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-amine) (7), and 4,4′,4′'-boranetriyltris(3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde) (8) has been accomplished using well-known synthetic methodologies. These new potential building blocks have been characterized by various spectroscopic and analytical techniques and their photophysical properties have been examined. It is observed that photophysical properties of these compounds are enhanced with π conjugation expansions along the branches when donor moieties such as -NH2 groups are present at the para-position of the aryl rings. The highest quantum yield of 0.293 is observed for 4′,4′'',4′''''-boranetriyltris(3′,5′-dimethyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-amine) (7). Interestingly, red-shifted fluorescence spectra follow the same trend as absorption spectra. The fluorescence lifetime increases with the number of donor moieties. The present findings demonstrate the possible use of these C3-symmetric boron-containing building blocks in developing new polymeric materials with improved photophysical properties for various applications.

This paper reports the synthesis of a novel class of Fe3O4@CS-Gl/Au core-shell pattern nanoparticles by employing Au NPs and chitosan-gelatin composite. The biogenic synthesis was mediated by dual composite hydrogel of chitosan and gelatin as a green reducing as well as stabilizing agent under ambient conditions. Physicochemical features the so obtained nanomaterial was assessed by using FT-IR, TEM, FE-SEM, EDX, elemental mapping, VSM and XRD. Click synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles utilizing aryl halides was our aim in catalytic investigation. The Fe3O4@CS-Gl/Au catalyst, which is highly effective and reusable, was used to catalyze the [3 + 2]-cycloaddition of benzonitriles with NaN3, leading to the solvent-free synthesis of corresponding tetrazole derivatives at 120 °C. This method was carried out using K4[Fe(CN)6] as a non-hazardous cyanide precursor. Following a 12-hour process, the different substrates produced yields ranging from 70 to 96 %. Hot filtration, leaching and reusability studies were conducted 12 times in a succession, all of which confirmed the catalyst's resilience. Furthermore, in the biological studies % cell viability of Fe3O4@CS-Gl/Au NPs was found very low against common human uterine cell lines i.e. AN3-CA and HEC-1-A, devoid of any cytotoxicity on normal cell lines like HUVEC. The best anti-uterine effect was observed against the AN3-CA cell line. For investigating the antioxidant properties of nanobio-composite, the DPPH assay was used. Fe3O4@CS-Gl/Au NPs inhibited half of the DPPH molecules in the concentration of 139 µg/mL. The antioxidant activity of the NPs is significantly related to its anti-uterine cancer potentials. Based on the above findings, the Fe3O4@CS-Gl/Au NPs could be administered in restricting diverse human cancers.

Imidazoles and benzimidazoles are privileged heterocyclic compounds that can be extensively found in medicinal and materials chemistry, however, the experimental procedures for their synthesis are limited to multicomponent condensation reactions and normally are strongly dependent upon the desired substitution pattern, consequently several procedures with different conditions and catalysts are available in literature. Accordingly, the development of synthetic methodologies to afford these compounds remains a very attractive research problem. In this regard, dioxomolybdenum based catalysts are emerging as versatile and non-expensive reagents for a myriad of chemically relevant transformations. Within this context, an expedient and efficient synthesis of 2,4,5-trialkyl-1H-imidazoles and benzimidazoles from a multicomponent one-pot condensation has been developed with a tridentate Schiff base dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex, resulting in an efficient, simple and readily available catalyst to promote the aforementioned reaction. This reaction offers advantages such as good to excellent yields, good selectivity of products, low catalyst loadings and simple reaction work-up.

Then, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and DNA binding activities of the chiral Ru(II)-phosphinite complexes were tested. Complex (1R)-2-{benzyl[(1S)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl]amino}-1-phenylethyl diphenylphos- phinito[dichloro(η6-p-cymene)ruthenium(II)], 7 showed both the highest radical scavenging activity (90.93 ± 0.98 %) and the highest metal chelating activity (65.45 ± 1.46 %) at 200.0 mg l-1 concentration. In addition, all of complexes had different rates of binding activity to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). Moreover, extensive theoretical and experimental investigations were conducted to gain a more profound understanding of the chemical descriptors and the diverse electronic transitions taking place within the ruthenium complexes, as well as their electrochemical characteristics.

Treatment of [(Me3tacn)RuIII(κ2-S2CNR2)Cl]PF6 (Me3tacn = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) with methanol in the presence of zinc powder in air afforded four ruthenium methoxy complexes [(Me3tacn)RuIII(κ2-S2CNR2)(OCH3)]PF6 (R = Me 1, Et 2, nPr 3, iPr 4). Further reactions of complexes 1–4 and phenylacetylene gave four ruthenium vinylidene complexes [(Me3tacn)(κ2-S2CNR2)Ru=C=CHPh]PF6 (R = Me 5, Et 6, nPr 7, iPr 8). Molecular structures of complexes 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Moreover, all complexes were characterized by infrared, UV–vis, fluorescence and mass spectrometry, and their electrochemical properties were also investigated. The visible-light-induced catalytic properties of complexes 5–8 for H2 evolution by water splitting were explored.

In electrochemical CO2-conversion strategies, various transition metal-based molecular electrocatalysts are employed to reduce CO2 into products like CO and HCO2H, with H2 as a competitive side product. However, achieving selectivity towards HCO2H remains challenging, and suitable catalysts for the same are limited. Herein we report a normal and an abnormal protic-NHC-based Cp*Ir(III)-half sandwich complexes for catalytic CO2 electroreduction in an aqueous acetonitrile solvent. Both the catalysts predominantly produced HCO2H as the CO2-reduced product at an applied potential of –2.66 V vs Fc+/Fc with 5 % H2O as the proton source; however, the normal protic-NHC-bound complex achieved a Faradic efficiency (FE) of 86±4 %, while the complex with the abnormal protic-NHC ligand furnished FE up to 72±4 %. The protic proton of the protic NHC ligand in these complexes was proposed to participate in a proton relay process, facilitating generation of the crucial Ir–H intermediate, which reacts with CO2 to produce HCO2H through stabilization of the Ir–OCHO intermediate.
在电化学二氧化碳转化策略中,采用了各种基于过渡金属的分子电催化剂,将二氧化碳还原成 CO 和 HCO2H 等产物,并将 H2 作为竞争性副产品。然而,实现对 HCO2H 的选择性仍然具有挑战性,而且适用的催化剂也很有限。在此,我们报告了一种基于正常和异常原生 NHC 的 Cp*Ir(III)-half sandwich 复合物,用于在乙腈水溶液中催化 CO2 电还原。在以 5% H2O 为质子源、对 Fc+/Fc 的施加电位为 -2.66 V 时,这两种催化剂都主要产生 HCO2H 作为 CO2 还原产物;然而,正常的原核-NHC 结合络合物的法拉第效率 (FE) 为 86±4%,而带有异常原核-NHC 配体的络合物的法拉第效率 (FE) 则高达 72±4%。据推测,这些复合物中原生 NHC 配体的原生质子参与了质子中继过程,促进了关键的 Ir-H 中间体的生成,通过稳定 Ir-OCHO 中间体,Ir-H 中间体与 CO2 反应生成 HCO2H。

A series of CCCNHC pincer Pd(II)X complexes, where X = Cl, Br, or I, were synthesized by a metalation/transmetalation reaction sequence and characterized by NMR and Raman spectroscopy, photophysical studies, X-ray crystallography, and DFT computational studies. This is the first detailed report of the CCCNHC pincer Pd complexes analogous to the previously reported Pt analogs. Photophysical measurements show that by varying the X ligand, the emission wavelength can be tuned. The chloride complex is a water and air stable blue emitter with a quantum yield of 46 % and all three complexes have photostabilities >90 %. A combined DFT and TD-DFT study has been carried out to investigate ground state and excited state geometries as well as absorption and emission processes of CCCNHC Pd complexes. Theoretical results were compared with the corresponding experimental results and showed good agreement. Raman spectroscopy (computational and experimental) was used to examine Pd-X vibrations which have been rarely reported in the literature. Several by-products of the metalation/transmetalation procedure were identified. A rare mixed normal/abnormal carbene pincer Pd(II)Cl complex was isolated and crystallographically characterized.
