AbstractIn this study, we describe the anion recognition ability of isatin-3-thiosemicarbazone 2, which contains two different anion recognition units i.e. isatin NH and the thiourea moiety. Both have the ability to act as proton donors. Most importantly, a significant colour change of 2 was observed (from light yellow to reddish orange) in organic medium only after the addition of the F– anion. No such colour change could be observed for any other anions including Cl–, Br–, I–, ${{\text{H}}_{2}}\text{P}{{\text{O}}_{4}}^{-},$$\text{N}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}^{-},$$\text{P}{{\text{F}}_{4}}^{-}$etc. The UV-Vis spectroscopic studies also indicate the potential of this compound for selective detection of fluoride anions. 1H-NMR titrations clearly indicate the formation of the 2.F– anionic complex. The Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations are also performed to get further insights on the formation of 2.F– complex.

New thiosemicarbazide-linked acridines 3a–c were prepared and investigated as chemosensors for the detection of biologically and environmentally important anions. The compounds 3a–c were found selective for fluoride (F − ) with no affinity for other anions, i.e. − OAc, Br − , I − , HSO 4 − , SO 4 2− , PO 4 3− , ClO 3 − , ClO 4 − , CN − and SCN − . Further, upon the gradual addition of a fluoride anion (F − ) source (tetrabutylammonium fluoride), a well-defined change in colour of the solution of probes 3a–c was observed. The anion-sensing process was studied in detail via UV–visible absorption, fluorescence and 1 H-NMR experiments. Moreover, during the synthesis of acridine probes 3a–c nickel fluoride (NiF 2 ), a rarely explored transition metal fluoride salt, was used as the catalyst. Theoretical studies via density functional theory were also carried out to further investigate the sensing and anion (F − ) selectivity pattern of these probes.

Molecules containing polarized NH fragments that behave as anion-binding motifs are widely used as receptors for recognition and sensing purposes in aprotic solvents. We present here a new example of a receptor, 3-amino-5-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-2-yl)isoxazole-4-carboxamide (receptor 1), which contains pyrrole, amide and amino subunits. This receptor shows both changes in its UV–vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra upon the addition of F−, resulting in highly selectivity for fluoride detection over other anions, such as Cl−, Br−, I−, HSO4 −, H2PO4 − and AcO− in CH3CN. 1H NMR titration, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations and other experiments confirm that the sensing process is brought about by deprotonation of the pyrrole-NH in receptor 1.

AbstractThe selective hydrogenation of CO2 to value-added chemicals is attractive but still challenged by the high-performance catalyst. In this work, we report that gallium nitride (GaN) catalyzes the direct hydrogenation of CO2 to dimethyl ether (DME) with a CO-free selectivity of about 80%. The activity of GaN for the hydrogenation of CO2 is much higher than that for the hydrogenation of CO although the product distribution is very similar. The steady-state and transient experimental results, spectroscopic studies, and density functional theory calculations rigorously reveal that DME is produced as the primary product via the methyl and formate intermediates, which are formed over different planes of GaN with similar activation energies. This essentially differs from the traditional DME synthesis via the methanol intermediate over a hybrid catalyst. The present work offers a different catalyst capable of the direct hydrogenation of CO2 to DME and thus enriches the chemistry for CO2 transformations.

Isomers of monothioureas, 2a–2d, derived from the reaction of disubstituted benzoyl isothiocyanate and dibenzylamine were synthesised and characterised by using elementary analysis CHNS and IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity by using selected Gram-positive bacteria, and moderate inhibition activity was displayed for compound 2b with the value of inhibition zone 11 ± 0.8 mm at a concentration of 50 mg/ml. The outcomes of Lipinski’s rule of five assessment appeared to be in agreement with all compounds as they adhered to most of the rules, in which they can be preliminarily classified as active drug-like. The frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) for halogen-substituted 3,4-dichloro (2a) and 3,4-difluoro (2b) were also determined by applying the computational method of density functional theory (DFT) to determine their relationship as a molecular descriptor in antibacterial activities. The value of LUMO energy for compound 2b (1.8229 eV) is lower than that of compound 2a (1.8492 eV) which indicates higher antibacterial activities.

The tetraazamacrocyclic ligand 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (TMC) has been used to bind a variety of first-row transition metals but to date the crystal structure of the cobalt(II) complex has been missing from this series. The missing cobalt complex chlorido(1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-κ4 N)cobalt(II) chloride dihydrate, [CoCl(C14H32N4)]Cl·2H2O or [CoIICl(TMC)]Cl·2H2O, crystallizes as a purple crystal. This species adopts a distorted square-pyramidal geometry in which the TMC ligand assumes the trans-I configuration and the chloride ion binds in the syn-methyl pocket of the ligand. The CoII ion adopts an S = 3 \over 2 spin state, as measured by the Evans NMR method, and UV–visible spectroscopic studies indicate that the title hydrated salt is stable in solution. Density functional theory (DFT) studies reveal that the geometric parameters of [CoIICl(TMC)]Cl·2H2O are sensitive to the cobalt spin state and correctly predict a change in spin state upon a minor perturbation to the ligand environment.

Abstract The mechanism of formation of the exocyclic dimeric π-enyl complex (C8H13PdCl)2 by reaction of 1,3-dimethylenecyclohexane, C8H12 with trans-PdCl2(C6H5CN)2 is discussed. Through UV, 1H NMR (90 MHz, 360 MHz) and 13C spectroscopic studies it was possible to show that the dimer is formed by the disproportionate of C8H12 to C8H14 and m-xylene, and further that it consists of diastereomeric products. The reaction of (-) R-3-methyl-1-methylencyclohexane, C8H14, with the Pd-salt confirms that during the reaction between C8H12 and trans-PdCl2(C6H5CN)2 no free C8H14 is formed in solution.Studies on cleavage reactions of the dimer are also described in this paper.
