A composite material made from chitosan and tragacanth gum (CS-TG) was made and applied to help create gold nanoparticles in water by reducing and stabilizing them. A variety of modern tests, such as Ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), confirmed that the CS-TG/Au NPs were successfully fabricated. The images from TEM showed that the Au NPs were round, evenly distributed, and approximately 40–60 nanometers in size. After analyzing the CS-TG/Au NPs, it was effectively used as a catalyst in the CC coupling connection through the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC), producing high amounts of biaryls under gentle conditions in water. The catalyst showed great stability and true heterogeneity, which was verified by experiments involving hot filtration. Importantly, the catalyst could be reused for 7 times in a row with only a slight decrease in effectiveness, showing that it could be a strong and eco-friendly choice for constructing CC bonds.

A novel ferrocene-triazole-BODIPY conjugate (Fc-Tz-BDP) and its non-ferrocenyl analogue (Ph-Tz-BDP) were designed and synthesized via the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The newly synthesized conjugates were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 11B NMR, 19F NMR, FT-IR, and mass spectral analysis. A detailed investigation into their photophysical, electrochemical, and theoretical properties was conducted to elucidate the electronic interactions between the ferrocene and BODIPY moieties. Photophysical studies revealed that the ferrocene unit acts as a quencher of the BODIPY fluorescence, with the quantum yield being more than four times lower than that of the reference Ph-Tz-BDP due to an efficient PET mechanism. Cyclic voltammetry experiments confirmed that the HOMO is localized on the electron-donating ferrocene unit, while the LUMO resides on the BODIPY core, providing the driving force for PET. These experimental results were supported by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.

This study presents a computational investigation of five monocationic dinuclear Ruthenium compounds with three bridges, which are either thiolate or hydride anions, according to the formulas The [(η6-arene)Ru(μ-H)n({μ-(p-X-C6H4)-S}mRu(η6-arene)]+ (with either n=1/m=2 or n=2/m=1). Depending on the nature of the terminal and symmetric hexahapto arene ligands (1,2,4,5-Me4C6H2 or C6Me6) and the nature of terminal thiolate substituent (X = Br, Me, C4H3S), the five compounds are nicknamed as A1-A5, the first dimer in the series being the unique doubly H bridged species. The DFT and time-dependent TD-DFT methods were used to explore and compare structural, electronic, and optical properties. The geometry optimizations were performed at various levels of theory, all showing satisfactory agreements with the experimental crystallographic structures, especially concerning the skeletal Ru-Ru and Ru-S bond distances. Reactivity descriptors derived from the nature of the frontier MOs revealed that the doubly H-bridged complex A1 is the most electrophilic and reactive species, while A4 and A2 are the most electronically stable. Partial charge analysis confirmed the nucleophilic character of hydride ligands and the dual donor–acceptor behavior of sulfur atoms. UV-Vis spectra simulations highlighted metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) as the dominant excitation mode across all the complexes. At the same time, the Br-substituents at the thiolate bridges in A3 seem to confer additional ligand–ligand charge transfer (LLCT) character. Complex A5 emerged as the most promising system, showing the highest oscillator strengths and intense π→π* transitions. Nonlinear optical (NLO) analysis revealed exceptional first hyperpolarizability (βtot) for A5, with values up to 5763.38 × 10-33 esu over 25,000 times higher than that of urea. These findings position A5 as a strong candidate for optoelectronic and second-order NLO applications. Overall, this work provides valuable insights into the structure–property relationships of diruthenium complexes and underscores the importance of functional and basis set selection in modeling transition metal systems.

Recently, efforts have been directed toward the use of improved functional nanomaterials like graphene/graphitic-based metal-organic frameworks (GBMOFs) with abundant active sites, better light absorption, enhanced surface functionalities, and recyclability to advance photocatalytic technology for the remediation of aquatic pollutants like pharmaceuticals. Thus, this study aims to review and explore original research works on the photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants in aqueous environments using GBMOFs. The scope of this study covers degradation performance, reusability, and stability dynamics, the effect of co-existing ions, degradation mechanism/pathways, and the potential of GBMOFs in industrial/real pharmaceutical effluent treatment. Notably, from the study, it was found that over 75 % degradation efficiency can be achieved by various GBMOFs in <120 min and irradiation power of 5–500 W for most pharmaceutical pollutants. This excellent degradation performance was discovered to be largely facilitated by •O2−and •OH through hydroxylation, deamination, decarboxylation, dealkylation, CN/S-N bond cleavage, demethylation, and ring-opening processes due to abundant active oxygen-containing functional groups present in GBMOFs. It was also revealed that spent GBMOFs can be reused for about 3–10 cycles while still maintaining >75 % degradation efficiency in most cases without serious structural damage. Findings from the effect of co-existing ions (where monovalent ions exhibit less effect compared to divalent ions) and real pharmaceutical effluent degradation studies established that GBMOFs hold great promise for pilot/industrial scale applications. Overall, this review contributes to the advancement of wastewater treatment, water security, material science, and Sustainable Development Goals 6 and 14.
近年来,人们一直致力于使用功能纳米材料,如石墨烯/石墨基金属有机框架(GBMOFs),这些材料具有丰富的活性位点、更好的光吸收、增强的表面功能和可回收性,以推进光催化技术对水生污染物(如药物)的修复。因此,本研究旨在回顾和探索利用GBMOFs光催化降解水环境中药物污染物的原始研究成果。本研究的范围包括降解性能、可重用性和稳定性动力学、共存离子的影响、降解机制/途径以及GBMOFs在工业/实际制药废水处理中的潜力。值得注意的是,从研究中发现,各种GBMOFs在120 min和5-500 W的照射功率下,对大多数药物污染物的降解效率可达到75%以上。研究发现,由于GBMOFs中含有丰富的活性含氧官能团,因此•O2−和•OH通过羟基化、脱胺、脱羧、脱烷基、cn - s - n键裂解、去甲基化和开环等过程促进了这种优异的降解性能。研究还表明,在大多数情况下,使用过的GBMOFs可以重复使用约3-10个循环,同时仍保持75%的降解效率,而不会造成严重的结构破坏。共存离子(单价离子的作用小于二价离子)和真正的制药废水降解研究的结果表明,GBMOFs在中试/工业规模应用方面具有很大的前景。总的来说,这篇综述有助于推进废水处理、水安全、材料科学和可持续发展目标6和14。

This study presents the development of a novel, sustainable nanocatalyst, Cu (II)-porphyrin supported on a Fe₃O₄-SiO₂ nanostructure, designed for the efficient synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives. The catalyst was meticulously synthesized via sequential approaches, involving ligand preparation, metalation of ligand, surface functionalization of Fe3O4, and covalent immobilization, ensuring high purity, stability, and reusability. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including FE-SEM, FT-IR, XRD, VSM, XPS and AAS, confirmed the structural integrity, magnetic properties, and active metal loading of the nanocomposite. The catalytic activity was evaluated through the synthesis of benzimidazoles using a variety of benzaldehyde derivatives, benzo-1,2-quinone, and ammonium acetate under mild, alcoholic aqueous medium at room temperature. Results demonstrated excellent yields (up to 96%) within short reaction times (20–60 min), with the catalyst exhibiting high turnover numbers (up to 480) and turnover frequencies (up to 1154 h⁻¹). Importantly, the catalyst demonstrated remarkable recyclability, maintaining over 85% yield after five cycles. This methodology offers a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional protocols, with broad substrate scope and potential for large-scale application in pharmaceutically relevant heterocycle synthesis.

The nanocomposites have attained a lot of attention mainly due to their immense number of uses in various industries. This study used the Hummer's technique to synthesize graphene oxide and the hydrothermal approach to create tin cobalt oxide nanoparticles. Nanocomposites were synthesized by solvothermal method from the prepared graphene oxide and cobalt tin oxide nanoparticles. The freshly created product was examined using a variety of instruments to analyze its structure and related properties, such as Scanning Electron Microscope (to analyze the surface morphology and structure of materials at a very high magnification and resolution), UV-Vis spectroscopy(to evaluate the optical properties and monitor dye degradation by measuring light absorbance in the UV and visible range) and FTIR (to identify the functional groups and analyze the chemical bonding present in a materials by measuring its infrared absorption spectrum). Data were further analyzed by using different software i.e. MATCH, Origin and VESTA. Vesta software was used to confirm the structural composition of the product as well as its other parameters, which were explained by X-ray powder diffraction analysis (XRD) (to determine the crystalline structure,phase identification and crystalline size of materials by analyzing the diffraction pattern of X-rays interacting with the crystal lattice). The utilization of GOSnCoO nanocomposite for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye was performed to investigate its photocatalytic activity. This nanocomposite was able to degrade and decolorize Congo red dye and RhB dye, suggesting its potential for wastewater treatments. Additionally, the nanocomposite was explored in other investigations as a fuel additive and differences in the flash point, fire point, pour point, and cloud point as key diesel oil characteristics. These key diesel oil characteristics varied as a result of the addition of the nanocomposite and in relation to concentration, affected the physicochemical behavior of the diesel. Exploring both environmental and fuel-related uses with a single material adds novelty and highlights its versatile potential.

In this work, we detailed the fabrication and assessment of an innovative magnetic material that features Pd NPs decorated on functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles utilizing chitosan-tamarind gum (CHI-TG) combine polymers. The fabricated nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@CHI-TG/Pd NPs) was analyzed using various methods, including TEM, FESEM, EDS, mapping atudy, VSM, and ICP-OES spectroscopy. The catalytic efficacy of the Fe3O4@CHI-TG/Pd NPs was evaluated for the formation of C–C bonds via Stille coupling reactions. The related biaryl products were produced in good yields, and the Fe3O4@CHI-TG/Pd NPs catalyst was successfully recovered using a magnetic field and demonstrated sufficient stability for reuse over 6 consecutive cycles with a minimal decline in activity.

AuBr3 in a mixture of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-400) and water is shown to be a highly efficient catalyst for the three-component coupling of aldehydes, alkynes, and amines via C‒H activation of alkynes. In the presence of 1 mol% of AuBr3, the reaction proceeds smoothly in PEG-400/H2O (1:1) at 100 °C, generating a variety of propargylamines in 57–96% yields along with water as the only byproduct. The isolation of the products is easily performed by the extraction with cyclohexane and more importantly, expensive AuBr3 in PEG-400/H2O system could be readily recycled and reused at least six times without any significant loss of catalytic efficiency. Compared with recyclable metal-catalyzed A3-coupling, the easy product isolation, the AuBr3/PEG-400/H2O system recycling, and avoiding the preparation of supported metal catalysts, which requires a complex multi-step procedure, are important advantages of the developed methodology.

Efficient reaction conditions for the Sonogashira coupling between o-iodoanisole and terminal acetylenes were developed using 0.1 mol% DMF-stabilized palladium nanoclusters as the catalysts. The resulting diarylacetylenes bearing an ortho-methoxy group were subsequently converted into benzofuran derivatives via iodine-mediated iodocyclization. Further transformation through palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization afforded PAH-fused benzofuran derivatives.

1,3-Oxaselenoles are a class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen and selenium atoms in the 1 and 3 positions, respectively, and have garnered attention in organic chemistry due to their unique reactivity and potential applications. The synthesis of 1,3-oxaselenolanes, along with related compounds like 1,3-oxaselenoles and benzo[d][1,3]oxaselenoles, can be accomplished using various methods. These include (i) cycloselenization of 2-selanyl-1-ethanol or selenoacetic acid with various aldehydes, (ii) cycloselenization of isoselenocyanates or isocyanates with various substrates, (iii) reaction of gem‑dicyano epoxides with KSeCN, (iv) reaction of 1,3-diketone with SeO2, (v) reaction of selenoamide with α-haloketones, (vi) Viehe's salt with o-bromophenols among other techniques.
