A convenient method for synthesis of quinoxaline has been accomplished by cyclo condensation of substituted phenacyl bromides with o-phenylenediamines in ZnFe2O4 as a bimetallic and eco-friendly catalyst. The auxiliary benefits of the current protocol include short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, reusability of catalyst, ambient temperature, a wide substrate scope, a simple work-up procedure, good yields, and no chromatographic separation. Similarly, it was observed that under these reaction conditions, we had achieved all the above-mentioned benefits easily as compared to already known methods for the synthesis of quinoxalines. Therefore, this methodological approach will generate new pathways to synthesize the derivatives of quinoxalines on the industrial scale too.

In the present protocol, the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives is described using various substituted phenacyl bromides and o-phenylenediamines as starting materials in ZnFe2O4 as a bimetallic and eco-friendly catalyst at room temperature. Here, Dimethylformamide is used as a solvent with high yields.

An octahedral Mn(II) complex, [Mn(L)2] is synthesized with redox active ONS donor azo-thioether pincer ligand, 3-(2-(2-(methylthio)phenyl)hydrazono)pentane-2,4-dione (HL). The complex is thoroughly characterized by means of several spectroscopic methods. The geometry of the complex is authenticated by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. X-ray structure of [Mn(L)2] revealed that HL is coordinated to three adjacent sites of Mn through thioether-S, azo-N, and enoloic-O atoms in meridional configuration. Theoretical calculation by DFT/B3LYP is carried out to interpret the electronic structure of [Mn(L)2]. Cyclic voltammogram of [Mn(L)2] in acetonitrile exhibit Mn(II)/Mn(III) oxidation and ligand-based reduction couples with reference to Ag/AgCl reference electrode.

Glycylglycine functionalized water-dispersible gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared and characterized on the basis of ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The AuNPs exhibited a strong SPR band at 522 nm, which after functionalization with glycylglycine, appeared at 525 nm. This SPR band of the functionalized nanoparticles is used as a tool for the detection of toxic metal ions in water. A large number of metal ions were tested, among which Hg2+, Pb2+, and Cr3+ exhibited distinct colour change, detectable with bare eye, and substantial UV-vis spectral change. TEM images and EDX analysis suggested that the colour change is due to metal-induced aggregation of the functionalized nanoparticles due to inter-particle plasmon coupling. The aggregation, which resulted in an increase in particle size, is further confirmed by DLS measurement. A mechanism of metal-induced aggregation is also proposed. The present study is an example of a simple methodology to prepare water-dispersible functionalized nanoparticle for colorimetric detection of toxic heavy metal ions such as Cr3+, Pb2+, and Hg2+ with high sensitivity.
