Neodymium zirconate nanocrystals doped aluminium ion NdxAl2-xZr2O7 with pyrochlore structure were prepared by a salt-assistant glycine combustion method. Zirconium nitrate, aluminium nitrate and neodymium nitrate were used as chemicals, and glycine was used as burning agent. The as-prepared NdxAl2-xZr2O7 nano-crystals were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM and HRTEM. The results showed the Nd ions can be partially replaced by Al ions. For crystalline Nd1.9Al0.1Zr2O7, there are four strong diffraction peaks at 2θ = 29.02°, 33.70°, 48.37° and 57.37° corresponding crystal faces are 0.308nm, 0.266nm, 0.188nm and 0.161 nm, respectively, which indicates that the interstices of corresponding crystal faces are smaller than that of Nd2Zr2O7. Furthermore, the fluorescent properties of Nd1.9Al0.1Zr2O7 nano-crystals evaluated by the fluorescence spectra indicate that the prepared nano-crystals are a kind of potential fluorescent-emitted material.

This paper highlights on the hydrogen production through photocatalytic activity by using hematite nanoparticles synthesized from self-combustion method based on different stirring period. The morphologies and microstructures of the nanostructures were determined using Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Particle Size Analyser (PSA). Besides that, surface area analyser was used to determine the BET surface area of the hematite samples. The hematite nanocatalyst as-synthesized are proven to be rhombohedral crystalline hematite (α-Fe2O3) with particle diameters ranging from 60-140 nm. The BET specific surface area of hematite samples increased from 5.437 to 7.6425 m2/g with increasing stirring period from 1 to 4 weeks. This caused the amount of hydrogen gas produced from photocatalytic water splitting to increase as well.

Zirconia-graphene composite (ZrO2-G) has been successfully synthesized via decomposition of ZrOCl2•6H2O in a water-isopropanol system with dispersed graphene oxide (GO) utilizing Na2S as a precursor could enable the occurrence of the deposition of Zr4+ and the deoxygenation of GO at the same time. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the samples. It was found that graphene were fully coated with ZrO2, and the ZrO2 existing in tetragonal phase, which resulted in the formation of two-dimensional composite.

Copolymers based on 1, 4-diethoxybenzene (DEB) and 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) were electrochemically synthesized and characterized. The structures of the copolymers were established by 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The results indicated the final product was a copolymer instead of a blend or a composite. The physical properties were systematically investigated by cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis absorption and fluorescence. The PL maximum of copolymers presented obviously red-shift to long wavelength as the feed ratio of EDOT in monomer mixture increased.

In this paper, some chalcone derivatives (C1, C2) were synthesized based on the reaction of equal amount of substituted acetophenone and substituted banzaldehyde in basic medium. Oxazine and thiazine derivatives were prepared from the reaction of chalcones (C1-C2) with urea and thiourea respectively in a basic medium. Pyrazole derivatives were prepared based on the reaction of chalcones with hydrazine mono hydrate or phenyl hydrazine in the presence of glacial acetic acid as a catalyst. The new synthesized compounds were identified using various physical techniques like1 H-NMR and FT-IR spectra.

The biomineral-binding alendronate-chitosan conjugate (Scheme 1) was developed as a novel drug delivery system. Alendronate was conjugated to the hydroxyl groups of chitosan, thereby maintaining the amino groups of chitosan intact. By means of FT-IR and 1H NMR, the characterization was conducted to confirm the successful synthesis of alendronate-chitosan conjugate.

The new series of 1-(4,5-dihydro-5-phenyl-3-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl)butan-1-one derivatives were synthesized by cyclization method using biphenyl chalcone with n-butyric acid and hydrazine hydrate. The synthesized 1-(4,5-dihydro-5-phenyl-3-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl)butan-1-one derivatives chemical structures were confirmed from spectral data such as FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR. 2-Pyrazoline derivatives were docked with bacterial (1UAG) and breast cancer (1OQA) protein. Based on high binding affinity score, the best compound was subjected to in vitro anticancer activity by MTT assay. Also, antimicrobial activity were studied for synthesized 2-pyrazoline derivatives.

AbstractLanthanum aluminate-lanthanum zirconate composite was synthesized by using coprecipitation and powders were dried by spray-drying. Pseudoboehmite was used as a precursor of lanthanum aluminate during the precipitation process. Highly crystalline phases were obtained. Lanthanum zirconate exhibits a pyrochlore structure at lower synthesis temperature (>1500°C). Due drying technique lanthanum aluminate particles appear surrounded by lanthanum zirconate. No other remaining phases were observed and the phase distribution in the composite was homogeneous.
