New carboxylate complexes of the tetraazamacrocyclic ligand N,N',N'',N'''-tetrakis(2-pyridilmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc) with Ni(II) and Zn(II) as central ions were prepared. In mixed-ligand complexes (endo,endo)-bicyclo?2.2.1?hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylate dianion (C9H8O4 2-) is also coordinated to metal ions. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis (C, H, N), FTIR and UV?Vis spectroscopy, molar conductivity determination and magnetic susceptibility measurement at room temperature. The analytical data of the complexes show the formation of binuclear [Ni2(C9H8O4)tpmc](ClO4)2?4H2O and tetranuclear [Zn4(C9H8O4)(tpmc)2](ClO4)6? ?CH3CN?KClO4?4H2O complexes. In tetranuclear Zn(II) complex bicyclic dicarboxylate ligand is most likely to be bridge coordinated, and in binuclear Ni(II) complex it is coordinated in a combined bridged manner with chelate rings formation. In both complexes macrocyclic ligand was exo coordinated, out of cyclam ring and adopts a boat conformation. The Zn(II) complex is one of the rare tetranuclear Zn(II)-tpmc complexes with carboxylate ion bridging two Zn2tpmc units. The complexes were tested for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and yeast Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), and were screened for antiproliferative activity against human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) and human myelogenous leukemia (K562) cell lines.

Two new complexes with the general formula [Cu2(L)tpmc] (ClO4)3?nH2O (tpmc = N,N?,N??,N???-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)- -1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, L = N-methylglycine, n = 3; L = N,N- -dimethylglycine, n = 2) were isolated and their composition, some physical and chemical properties and geometries were proposed based on elemental analysis (C, H, N), conductometric and magnetic measurements and spectroscopic data (UV?Vis, FTIR). It is evident that the complexes are binuclear and an exo coordination mode of the macrocyclic ligand in the boat conformation was proposed. The co-ligands are coordinated as a bridge using both oxygen atoms of the OCO- group. The cytotoxic activity of Cu(II) complexes as well as their Co(II) analogs, the starting ligands and the free salts were tested against human cervix adenocarcinoma cell line (HeLa), human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells (K562), human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-453), and a non-cancerous cell line, human embryonic lung fibroblast (MRC-5). The IC50 values for the Cu(II) complexes were from 21.6?0.04 to 66.1?0.8, and for the Co(II) analogs were within the range from 8.8?0.74 to 15.40?1.52. All four complexes were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and the yeast Candida albicans.

Four new air-stable mixed-ligand Co(II) complexes having the general formula [Co2(Y)tpmc]Z3?q(H2O/CH3CN) (HY = N-methylglycine/N,N-dimethylglycine, Z = - 4BF , qH2O=4 or 3; HY=S-norvaline/S-valine Z=-ClO4 , qCH3CN = 0.5; qH2O = 0.5; tpmc = N,N',N'',N'''-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)- -1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) were prepared. The composition, some physical and chemical properties and their tentative geometries were evaluated based on elemental analysis (C, H, N), conductometric and magnetic measurements, spectroscopic data (UV/Vis, IR) and cyclic voltammetry. The data were compared with earlier described analogous complexes containing the macrocyclic ligand and aliphatic aminocarboxylates. It is assumed that all complexes are binuclear with an exo coordination mode of the octaazamacrocyclic pendant ligand in the boat conformation. In addition, two -N-(CH2)2-N- portions of the cyclam ring within the tpmc ligand and Co(II) ions in the high-spin state are most probably bridged via oxygen atoms from the anion of the aminocarboxylate/derivatives, whereas nitrogen atoms rest uncoordinated. In all cases, a combined chelate-bridged coordination is proposed as the most probable. The complexes were electrochemically stable in the potential range -1.0 to 1.0 V. They were also preliminary assayed toward some microorganisms together with the ligands, starting simple salts and solvents as test substances. In some cases, certain antimicrobial activity of the complexes was detected.

Five new mixed ligand metal complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of divalent transition metal ions (Hg, Ni, Zn, Cu and Cd) with 2-(naphthalen-l-ylamino)-2-phenylacetonitrile (L1 ) and 1,10-phenanthroline (L2). The coordination likelihood of the two ligands toward metal ions has been suggested in the light of elemental analysis, UV-Vis spectra, FTIR, 1H-NMR, flam atomic absorption, molar conductance and magnetic studies. Results data suggest that the octahedral geometry for all the prepared complexes. Antibacterial examination of synthesized complexes in vitro was performed against four bacterias. Firstly, Gram-negative bacteria namely, Pseudomonas aerugin and Escherichia. Secondly, Gram-positive bacteria namely, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcuaurouss. Results data exhibit that the synthesized complexes exhibited more biological activity than tetracycline pharmaceutical.

Iron nanoparticles (FeNP) were synthesized using Acacia nilotica seedless pods extract. The synthesized FeNP were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV/Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD pattern confirmed the synthesis of crystalline phase of α-Fe2O3. EDS spectroscopy showed the presence of elemental iron and oxygen, indicating that the nanoparticles are essentially present in oxide form. UV absorption in the range of 450–550 nm confirmed the formation of FeNP. DLS indicated an average FeNP particle size of 229 nm. The synthesized FeNP was tested for adsorption and oxidation degradation of methyl orange (MO) under different conditions and found to be effective in both degradation and adsorption processes. Furthermore, the synthesized FeNP has the potential to terminate the pathogenicity of several human opportunistic pathogens; belongs to gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and one species of Candida as well.

Three new binuclear Co(II) mixed-ligand complexes with N,N?,N??,N???-tetrakis( 2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc) and mono- or dicarboxylate ligands were prepared and some of their physical properties were determined. The general formulas: [Co2(HCOO)2tpmc](ClO4)2?4H2O, [Co2(CH3COO)2tpmc](ClO4)2 and [Co2(tpht)tpmc](ClO4)2?4H2O (tphtH2 = terephthalic acid) were proposed on the basis of elemental analyses (C,H,N) and molar conductivity. UV/Vis absorption and IR spectra, magnetic and CV measurements were used to study their geometries and properties. For the monocarboxylate complexes, an exo coordination of Co(II) with four nitrogens from tpmc and bis-bidentate bonded HCOO-/CH3COO- in the trans position is assumed. Tpmc adopts the chair conformation. For the dicarboxylate complex, it is supposed that a terephthalate dianion, as well as methylene chains from cyclam bridge two Co(II) atoms, while tpmc is in the boat conformation. The complexes were stable against chemical and electrochemical oxidation of Co(II) to Co(III). The data are compared with those for the previously published Cu(II) complexes containing the corresponding ligands and mutual similarities or differences were considered. Finally, some antibacterial activity of the complexes was found.

Ginger spent is the byproduct of spice industries that remove the essential oils of ginger (Zingiber officinale) for food industry and medicinal purposes. Ginger is a well known spice used often for seasoning in Indian cuisine. The de-oiled ginger has no specific use mostly goes to waste. Hence, we utilized this industrial waste product in the efficient synthesis of silver nanoparticles with the aid of UV irradiation from a solution of 1mM silver nitrate and spent extract in the ratio 9:1. Immediate colour change from pale yellow to dark brown was noted indicating the rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were centrifuged, dried and well characterized. UV Vis Spectroscopy, XRD analysis, Zeta potential and SEM analysis was carried out. It was commendable that the size of the nanoparticles fell well within the upper limit of 100nm. Agar well diffusion method was used to screen the antimicrobial activity of the well characterized silver nanoparticles. They were tested against seven pathogenic strains of three gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) three gram positive bacteria(Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecalis) and a fungus (Candida  albicans). It was seen that the zone of inhibition(ZOI) in well plate method  increased on increasing the concentration of silver nanoparticles. Further studies could lead to the application of these silver nanoparticles in medicine.
