Stable molybdenum blue nanoparticles dispersions were synthesized using ammonium heptamolybdate and ascorbic acid. The effect of molar ratios of reducing agent/Mo and acid/Mo on the speed of formation and stability of the disperse system has been demonstrated. The particles were characterized by UV/vis, infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) method confirmed the presence of reduced MoV in the structure of molybdenum oxide nanoclusters, the proportion of which was 30%.

A sol-immobilization method is used to synthesize a series of highly active and stable Au x Pd 1− x /TiO 2 catalysts (where x  = 0, 0.13, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.87 and 1) for wastewater remediation. The catalytic performance of the materials was evaluated for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol, a model wastewater contaminant, using NaBH 4 as the reducing agent under mild reaction conditions. Reaction parameters such as substrate/metal and substrate/reducing agent molar ratios, reaction temperature and stirring rate were investigated. Structure-activity correlations were studied using a number of complementary techniques including X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The sol-immobilization route provides very small Au–Pd alloyed nanoparticles, with the highest catalytic performance shown by the Au 0.5 Pd 0.5 /TiO 2 catalyst. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Science to enable the circular economy’.

A set of novel photocatalysts, i.e., copper-zirconia imidazolate (CuZrIm) frameworks, were synthesized using different zirconia molar ratios (i.e., 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mmol). The photoreduction process of CO2 to methanol in a continuous-flow stirred photoreactor at pressure and temperature of 1 atm and 25 °C, respectively, was studied. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The highest methanol activity of 818.59 µmol/L.g was recorded when the CuZrIm1 catalyst with Cu/Zr/Im/NH4OH molar ratio of 2:1:4:2 (mmol/mmol/mmol/M) was employed. The enhanced yield is attributed to the presence of Cu2+ oxidation state and the uniformly dispersed active metals. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the reaction parameters. The predicted results agreed well with the experimental ones with the correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99. The optimization results showed that the highest methanol activity of 1054 µmol/L.g was recorded when the optimum parameters were employed, i.e., stirring rate (540 rpm), intensity of light (275 W/m2) and photocatalyst loading (1.3 g/L). The redox potential value for the CuZrIm1 shows that the reduction potential is −1.70 V and the oxidation potential is +1.28 V for the photoreduction of CO2 to methanol. The current work has established the potential utilization of the imidazolate framework as catalyst support for the photoreduction of CO2 to methanol.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

Crystallographic Study

The octahedral anions [M(SnCl3)5Cl]4− (M = Ru, Os) have been fully characterized by 119Sn FT nmr spectroscopy. For M = Ru, 117Sn and 115Sn nmr spectra were also recorded, and an X-ray crystallographic study was carried out on the tetraethylammonium salt, isolated as a disolvate from acetonitrile. The Ru—Sn bond lengths indicate some degree of dπ–dπ interactions. The slight distortions from octahedral geometry are discussed in connection with the packing of the chlorine atoms. The Sn nmr spectra reveal the first observed coupling to a 99Ru nucleus (I = 5/2, 12.7% natural abundance), very large 2J(119Sn—117Sn) coupling constants, and the first observed second-order effects on a heteronuclear system. The octahedral anion [Ru(SnCl3)5(MeCN)]3− was also synthesized as the tetraethylammonium salt and characterized spectroscopically.

Silica-copper oxide (silica-CuO) composite thin films were prepared by a dipping sol-gel route using ethanolic solutions comprised TEOS and a copper-propionate complex. Sols with different TEOS/Cu-propionate (Si/Cu) molar ratios were prepared and applied on stainless steel substrates using dipping process. During the annealing process, copper-propionate complexes developed into particulate polycrystalline CuO dispersed in a partially crystallized silica matrix, as indicated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The gel thermal analysis revealed that the prepared material might be stable up to400°C. The silica-CuO/stainless steel system was characterized as a selective absorber surface and its solar selectivity parameters, absorptance (α), and emittance (ε) were evaluated from UV-NIR reflectance data. The solar parameters of such a system were mostly affected by the thickness and phase composition of theSiO2-CuO film. Interestingly, the best solar parameters (α= 0.92 andε= 0.2) were associated to the thinnest films, which comprised a CuO-Cu2Omixture immersed in the silica matrix, as indicated by XPS.

AbstractA hybrid magnetic material γFe2O3@Sh@cu2O was easily prepared from Shilajit (Sh) decorated Fe3O4 and copper acetate. The prepared magnetic hybrid material was fully characterized using different analysis, including Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). All these analysis revealed that during coating of Fe3O4@Sh using copper salt (II), synchronized redox sorption of CuII to CuI occurs at the same time as the oxidation of Fe3O4 to γFe2O3. This magnetic catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles via one pot three-component click reaction of sodium azide, terminal alkynes and benzyl halides in the absence of any reducing agent. High yields, short reaction time, high turnover number and frequency (TON = 3.5 * 105 and TOF = 1.0 * 106 h−1 respectively), easy separation, and efficient recycling of the catalyst are the strengths of the present method.
