The electrospun nanosystems containing poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and 1 wt% Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) (with the content of dopant in the range of 0–1 wt% Fe) deposited onto polylactic acid (PLA) film were prepared for food packaging application. They were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), antimicrobial analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) techniques. Migration studies conducted in acetic acid 3% (wt/wt) and ethanol 10% (v/v) food simulants as well as by the use of treated ashes with 3% HNO3 solution reveal that the migration of Zn and Fe falls into the specific limits imposed by the legislation in force. Results indicated that the PLA/PHBV/ZnO:Fex electrospun nanosystems exhibit excellent antibacterial activity against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC-27853) due to the generation of a larger amount of perhydroxyl (˙OOH) radicals as assessed using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy coupled with a spin trapping method.

Na-doped ZnO nanorods have been fabricated through a hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses indicate that the d spacing of ZnO increases with increasing doping concentration, suggesting the effective incorporation of dopant Na in the samples. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements indicate that there are shallow donors in pure ZnO samples and the shallow donors are strongly prohibited by Na doping. In addition, the resonance at g = 2.005 suggests the formation of Zn vacancies. Magnetic measurements indicate that pure ZnO is paramagnetic and Na doping leads to ferromagnetism at room temperature. Moreover, 0.5% Na-doped ZnO nanorods exhibits the largest saturation magnetization.

In this work, a visible light-induced LaVO4/TiO2 composite has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and spin-trapping electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to reveal the structure and visible light photocatalytic mechanism for the decompostion of benzene in gas-phase. Based on the experimental results, a visible light-induced photochemical processes on LaVO4/TiO2 are proposed and elucidated.

Three new diclofenac-based copper(II) complexes, namely tetrakis{μ-2-[2-(2,6-dichloroanilino)phenyl]acetato-κ2 O:O′}bis(methanol-κO)copper(II), [Cu2(μ-dicl)4(CH3OH)2] (1), bis{2-[2-(2,6-dichloroanilino)phenyl]acetato-κ2 O,O′}bis(1-vinyl-1H-imidazole-κN 3)copper(II), [Cu(dicl)2(vim)2] (2), and bis{2-[2-(2,6-dichloroanilino)phenyl]acetato-κ2 O,O′}bis(1H-imidazole-κN 3)copper(II), [Cu(dicl)2(im)2] (3) [dicl is diclofenac (C14H10Cl2NO2), vim is 1-vinylimidazole (C5H6N2) and im is imidazole (C3H4N2)], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT–IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that complex 1 consists of dimeric units in which the dicl ligand exhibits a bidentate syn,syn-μ2 coordination mode linking two copper(II) centres. Complexes 2 and 3 have mononuclear units with the general formula [Cu(dicl)2 L 2] (L is vim or im) in which the CuII ions are octahedrally coordinated by two L and two dicl chelating ligands. The L and dicl ligands both occupy the trans positions of the coordination octahedron. The different coordination modes of dicl in the title complexes were revealed by Fourier transform IR (FT–IR) spectroscopy. The spin matching between the copper(II) centres in the dimeric [Cu2(μ-dicl)4(CH3OH)2] units was also confirmed by magnetic data to be lower than the spin-only value and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra. The thermal properties of the complexes were investigated by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques.

A novel 1D polymeric copper(ii) complex of formula {[Cu(l-Arg)2(μ-4,4′-bpy)]Cl2·3H2O∞} was synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance and NIR-vis-UV spectroscopy, and its microbiological properties were analyzed.

Zn-Mn-O semiconductor crystallites with nominal manganese concentration x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.10 were synthesized by a solid state reaction route using oxalate precursors. Thermal treatment procedure was carried out in air at different temperatures in the range 400 - 900°C. The samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and electron paramagnetic resonance. X-ray analysis reveals that dominant crystal phase in the Zn-Mn-O system corresponds to the wurtzite structure of ZnO. Room temperature ferromagnetism is observed in the Zn-Mn-O samples with lower manganese concentration, x ≤ 0.04, thermally treated at low temperature (500°C). Saturation magnetization in the sample with x = 0.01 is found to be 0.05 μB/Mn. The ferromagnetic phase seems to be developed by Zn diffusion into Mn-oxide grains.

A new dinuclear Cu(ii) complex [Cu2Cl4(L1)2] (1) (L1 = 1-(2-picolyl)-4-hexyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole) has been synthesised and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and powder XRD, thermogravimetric analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum, photoluminescence, and magnetic measurements. Complex 1 shows double 1,2,3-triazoles bridging the dinuclear Cu2N4 moiety, in which the bridging N=N bond indicates basal-apical asymmetric mode with 112.6° torsion angle of Cu–N=N–Cu. Different from most azole-bridged dinuclear Cu(ii) with antiferromagnetic couplings, complex 1 shows an intramolecular weak ferromagnetic interaction (J = 0.91 cm–1).
