Nanoparticle engineering via plants (green synthesis) is a promising eco-friendly technique. In this work, a green protocol was applied to the preparation of silver, zinc, and selenium nanoparticle solutions supported by the extracted aerial parts of Pulicaria undulata. The formation of nanoparticles in the solution was characterized using phytochemical analysis, and UV-visible, TEM, and zeta-potential spectroscopy. In addition, various biological activities were investigated for the extract of P. undulata and the produced nanoparticles (selenium, silver, and zinc), including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities. The volatile components of the extracted constitute verified the fact that twenty-five volatile components were characterized for the majority of abundant categories for the fatty acids, esters of fatty acids (59.47%), and hydrocarbons (38.19%) of the total area. The antioxidant activity of P. undulata extract and metal nanoparticles was assessed using DPPH assay. The results indicated reduced potency for the metal nanoparticles’ solutions relative to the results for the plant extract. The cytotoxicity of the investigated samples was assessed using an MTT assay against various tumor and normal cell lines with improved cytotoxic potency of the solutions of metal nanoparticles, compared to the plant extract. The antimicrobial activity was also estimated against various bacterial and fungal species. The results confirmed amended potency for inhibiting the growth of microbial species for the solutions of metal nanoparticles when compared to the extracted aerial parts of the plant. The present study showed that green synthetized nanoparticles using P. undulata have various potential bioactivities.

Organoselenium compounds have attracted significant research interest because of their potent therapeutic activities and indispensable applications in the organic chemistry field. The selenation reactions conventionally rely on the use of sensitive Se reagents; thus, new synthetic methods with improved efficiency and operational simplicity have recently been of particular interest. In this manuscript, we report a Rh-catalyzed direct selenium annulation using tractable sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) as the limiting reagent. The selenite species was converted to highly electrophilic SeO(OBz)2 in situ upon treatment with Bz2O, thereby undergoing C–H/N–H double nucleophilic selenation. A series of benzimidates successfully underwent selenation under mild reaction conditions to afford isoselenazole derivatives.

A single-step method for aniline formation was examined. Using a vanadate catalyst with an iron oxide co-catalyst and hydroxylamine hydrochloride as the amine source, an up to 90% yield of aniline was obtained with high selectivity. Further study showed that the overall reaction was pseudo-second order in terms of hydroxylamine concentration. Regioselective H-D exchange experiments suggest that the C-N bond formation step occurs via an irreversible electrophilic pathway. Based on all of the key observations, a mechanism is proposed.

Volatile, reactive, and thermally stable organometallic copper and silver complexes are of significant interest as precursors for the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ultra-thin metallic films. Well-established CuI and AgI precursors are commonly stabilized by halogens, phosphorous, silicon, and oxygen, potentially leading to the incorporation of these elements as impurities in the thin films. These precursors are typically stabilized by a neutral and anionic ligand. Recent advancements were established by the stabilization of these complexes using N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as neutral ligands. To further enhance the reactivity, in this study the anionic ligand is sequentially changed from β-diketonates to β-ketoiminates and β-diketiminates, yielding two new CuI and two new AgI NHC-stabilized complexes in the general form of [M(NHC) (R)] (M = Cu, Ag; R = β-ketoiminate, β-diketiminate). The synthesized complexes were comparatively analyzed in solid, dissolved, and gaseous states. Furthermore, the thermal properties were investigated to assess their potential application in MOCVD or ALD. Among the newly synthesized complexes, the β-diketiminate-based [Cu(tBuNHC) (NacNacMe)] was identified to be the most suitable candidate as a precursor for Cu thin film deposition. The resulting halogen-, oxygen-, and silicon-free CuI and AgI precursors for MOCVD and ALD applications are established for the first time and set a new baseline for coinage metal precursors.

Encapsulating enzymes in a tailored scaffold is of great potential in industrial enzymatic catalysis, which can enhance the stability of enzymes thus expanding their applications. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising candidates for enzyme encapsulation due to their precise pore structure, ease of synthesis and good biocompatibility. Despite the fact that enzymes encapsulated in MOFs can obtain enhanced stability, there has been little discussion about the thermal stability of enzyme-MOF composites in solid state under extremely high temperatures. Herein, we fabricated the enzyme-MOF composites, CALB-ZIF-8, via a convenient coprecipitation method in aqueous solution, which exhibited good thermal stability at 180 °C. It was found that the activity of CALB encapsulated in ZIF-8 retained nearly ~80% after heating for 10 min at 180 °C. A finite element method was applied to investigate the heat transfer process within a ZIF-8 model, indicating that the air filled in cavities of ZIF-8 played a significant role in hindering the heat transfer and this may be an important reason for the outstanding thermal stability of CALB-ZIF-8 at 180 °C, which paves a new path for expanding the industrial application of enzyme-MOF composites.

An aqueous extract of Punica granatum peel was used as a biocatalyst for magnesium oxide nanoparticle (MgO-NP) synthesis, which was characterized via UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM, EDX, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, and zeta potential. Data showed the efficacy of the plant aqueous extract in forming spherical, crystalline-nature, well-arranged MgO-NPs with sizes in the range of 10–45 nm with average sizes of 24.82 ± 8.85 nm. Moreover, EDX analysis revealed that the highest weight and atomic percentages were recorded for Mg and O ions. The green synthesized MgO-NPs showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans in a concentration-dependent manner with clear zones in the range of 8.7 ± 0.6 to 19.7 ± 0.5 mm with various concentrations. Also, the MIC value was varied to be 25 µg mL−1 for Gram-negative bacteria, B. subtilis, and C. albicans and 50 µg mL−1 for S. aureus. Moreover, MgO-NPs showed high activity against the 3rd-instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. The mortality percentages were concentration- and time-dependent. Data analysis showed that the highest mortality was 88.3 ± 3.2%, attained at a concentration of 100 µg mL−1 after 72 h. Also, all originated pupae were malformed and did not hatch to adults, with mortality percentages of 100% at all concentrations. Overall, the P. granatum-mediated MgO-NPs showed promising activity in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microbes and the hatching of C. quinquefasciatus larvae to adults.

Herein, we report the expansion of chemical space available from chitin, accessible via the biogenic N-platforms 3A5AF, M4A2C, and di-HAF. The biologically active heteroaromatics furo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-one and furo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-amine can be selectively accessed from 3A5AF and M4A2C, respectively. The chiral pool synthon di-HAF is a viable substrate for Achmatowicz rearrangement, providing streamlined access to 2-aminosugars possessing a versatile hydroxymethyl group at C5.

Radical translocation reactions are finding various uses in organic synthesis, in particular the stereospecific formation of complex natural products. In this work, the syntheses and single-crystal structures of two substituted 2-iodo-phenyl methyl-amides are reported, namely cyclo-propane carboxylic acid (2-iodo-phenyl)-methyl-amide, C11H12INO (1), and cyclo-heptane carboxylic acid (2-iodo-phenyl)-methyl-amide, C15H20INO (2). In each case, the methyl-amide group has a syn conformation, and this grouping is perpendicular to the plane of the benzene ring: these solid-state conformations appear to be well setup to allow an intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer to take place as part of a radical translocation reaction. Short intermolecular I⋯O halogen bonds occur in each crystal structure, leading to [010] chains in 1 [I⋯O = 3.012 (2) Å] and isolated dimers in 2 [I⋯O = 3.024 (4) and 3.057 (4) Å]. The intermolecular interactions are further quantified by Hirshfeld surface analyses.

This is a short overview of the life and achievements of Justus von Liebig. Clearly, this can only be an incomplete and somewhat personal view of the author, who has been a professor of inorganic chemistry at Justus Liebig University since 2002. Having already been interested in the work of Liebig for many years, and with a strong connection to the Liebig Museum in Giessen, the author hopes to provide some useful information about this great chemist, one of the founders of modern chemistry. The reader should find many interesting, probably new, facts about Liebig’s major impact on chemistry, agriculture, nutrition, and pharmacology.

A variety of coinage-metal complexes containing perfluorinated carboxylate ligands, together with their structures and thermal behavior, are reported. The silver(I) salts were accessible from the direct reaction of Ag2O with the acids in toluene. Their gold(I) phosphine counterparts formed in high yields by transmetallation using the silver(I) salts. Some structurally unique, mixed-metal (Au,Ag) complexes formed upon combining solutions of the silver(I) salts with the gold(I) phosphine carboxylates. The reduction of dinuclear copper(II) compounds containing perfluorinated carboxylates with triphenylphosphine resulted in the formation of the corresponding copper(I) tris(phosphine) complexes. X-ray structures of representative complexes, together with IR- and TGA data, are reported.
