The development of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) with a narrow size distribution is an important aspect of nanotechnology. Methanobactin (Mb) is a copper-binding small peptide that appears to function as an agent for copper sequestration and uptake in methanotrophs. Here, Mb was shown to bind and catalytically reduce Pd (II) to Pd (0). The one-step synthesis of monodisperse PdNPs using Mb as both coordination agent and reduction agent is reported. Fluorescence spectra, UV-visible spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) suggested that the Mb molecules catalytically reduce Pd (II) to Pd (0) with the concomitant production of PdNPs. The Mb is then adsorbed onto the surface of the PdNPs to form an Mb–PdNPs coordination compound. This avoids secondary nucleation. The PdNPs are small with high monodispersity and are easily synthesized in Mb solution. The PdNPs were extremely stable and resisted aggregation even after several months.

Novel Quinozolins were synthesized in a good yield through convert lacton to lactam and study the biological activity of the synthesized compounds. Quinozolins were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV/visible spectra. The novel Quinozolins have been tested in vitro against (gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and against other gram negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus vulgaris; in order to assess their antimicrobial properties. Moreover, charge, bond length, bond angle, twist angle, heat of formation and steric energy were calculated by using of the ChemOffice program. The study indicates that these Quinozolins have high activity against tested bacteria. Based on the reported results, it may be concluded that the coumarin act as synthons for synthesis of new Quinozolins derivatives through the replacement of oxygen atom by nitrogen atom.

Many complexes of 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl phenyl methanone with Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, UV/visible spectra, elemental analysis, room temperature magnetic susceptibility and molar conductivity. Cd(II) complex was expected to have tetrahedral structure while all the other complexes were expected to have an octahedral structure.

The structures of newly synthesized compounds (1-3) viz. 3-ethyl-5-methyl-2,6-bis(4- chlorophenyl)piperidin-1-ium picrate (1), 3-ethyl-5-methyl-2,6-bis(4-methylphenyl)piperidin-1-ium picrate (2) and 3-ethyl-5-methyl-2,6-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)piperidin-1-ium picrate (3) were confirmed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR. The UV-visible spectra, fluoresence, emission properties of synthesized 1-3 in different solvents were studied. Compounds 1-3 solvatochromic displays a slight effect of the emission and absorption spectrum, indicating a small change in the dipole moment upon excitation of compounds 1-3. All the compounds were investigated by DFT. The theoretical geometrical parameters are in good agreement with experimental values.

Herein, by using the green and cheap L-cysteine as the precursor, nitrogen and sulfur codoped carbon dots (NS-CDs) were synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The obtained NS-CDs showed the relatively narrow size distributions (2.1~3.9 nm) with the lattice spacing of 0.29 nm, as well as the excitation-dependent photoluminescence (PL) emission activity with the quantum yield (QY) of 18%. More interestingly, the PL intensity of NS-CDs was quenched by the addition of copper or lead ions (Cu2+ or Pb2+), which was shown in the tradition detection method by PL spectra. The NS-CDs exhibited ultrasensitive colorimetric sensing capability for both Cu2+ and Pb2+ by the color variance using naked eyes without any further treating. Two different coupling ways for detecting Pb2+ and Cu2+ were induced by the analysis of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). And the as-prepared NS-CDs showed their potential application in the heavy metal ions detection for the wastewater determination.

Due to the larger size of hetero atom and poor binding with metals, N2X2 type of core modified porphyrins show lesser tendency to form metal complexes. Mercury(II) complexes of symmetrical and unsymmetrical meso-tetraaryl-21,23-dithiaporphyrins are synthesized and characterized by the reaction of corresponding meso-tetraaryl-21,23-dithiaporphyrins with mercuric acetate in chloroform/methanol. These mercury complexes are well characterized by their UV-Visible spectra, fluorescence spectra, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Soret bands of mercury complex of unsymmetrical 5,20-bis-(4′-methoxyphenyl)-10,15-bisphenyl-21,23-dithiaporphyrin appeared at 442 nm and 462 nm whereas Q band appeared at 516 nm, 560 nm, 620 nm and 714 nm. Appearance of four Q bands is characteristic for this mercury complex of N2X2 type of core modified porphyrins. Mercury complex of unsymmetrical 5,20-bis-(4′-methoxyphenyl)-10,15-bisphenyl-21,23dithiaporphyrin is an excellent fluorescent molecule and showed fluorescence spectrum at 722 nm. These core modified porphyrin complexes provides a good coordination examples of mercury complexes of 21,23-dithiaporphyrins that can be used in sensing applications.

Recent years, propolis has plenty of biological and pharmacological properties and its mechanisms of action have been widely investigated. There is a substantive database on the biological activity and toxicity of propolis indicating it may have many antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral and antitumor properties, among other attributes. The one-step incorporation of propolis into nanofibrous mats of polycaprolactone (PCL) by electrospinning was demonstrated. In this research, the preparation of the PCL nanofibers films added ethanolic extract propolis (EEP) by electrospinning technique was studied. The EEP content was varied from 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%. The morphology was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The functional group was investigated by FT-IR

A simple, low cost and rapid analytical method for determination of HCl concentration after being treated with cellulose and cellulose nanofibers (CNF) is developed. This method is based on color intensity after the HCl solution is doped with sodium iodide (NaI). The color of HCl solution changes from colorless to yellow. The intensity of the color is measured by UV – Visible spectroscopy. The UV-Visible spectra of 0.15 M HCl treated with cellulose and cellulose nanofibers is reduced from its initial concentration. The CNF absorption capacity is higher as compared to cellulose. FT-IR analysis showed that there is interaction between C-H group from the CNF backboned and chloride ion from HCl solution.

Two cobalt(II) complexes viz. CoCl2{PPh2(p-C6H4NMe2)}2 (C1) and CoCl2(PPh2Py)2 (C2) were synthesized by reacting CoCl2·6H2O and 4-(dimethylamino)phenyldiphenylphosphine and diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine ligands, respectively. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-visible and electronic spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopic technique. Both the complexes were found stable at room temperature. EPR measurements and UV-visible spectra analysis of C1 and C2 are consistent with a tetrahedral Co(II) and tetragonally distorted octahedral Co(II) ions, respectively.
