The synthesis and characterization of title complexes of the ligand Quinolino[3,2-b]benzodiazepine (QBD) and Quinolino[3,2-b]benzoxazepine (QBO) are reported. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic studies, IR, H1 NMR, and UV-visible studies. They have the stoichiometry [ML2C12], where M=Co(II)/Ni(II), L=QBD/QBO, and [MLC12], where M=Zn(II)/Cd(I...

Instruments. NMR spectra were obtained with Bruker AC-300 and Varian UNITY-500 spectrometers. Mass spectra were obtained with Perkin Elmer Sciex API 365 electrospray ionization (ESI) and Bruker Biflex III matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) instruments at the University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Center. Ultraviolet and visible absorbance was recorded with a C...

Highly dispersed colloidal gold (Au) nanoparticles were synthesized at room temperature using glow discharge plasma within only 5 min. The prepared Au colloids were characterized with UV-visible absorption spectra (UV-vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with an energy dispersion X-ray spectrometer (EDX). UV-vis, XPS and EDX results c...

The antioxidant effect of 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) on copper-mediated LDL oxidation was followed either by the emitted chemiluminiscence (CL) or by UV-vis spectroscopy. 5-ASA addition extends the lag phase in a concentration-dependent manner without changes in the rate of the process in the autoaccelerated phase. The antioxidant behavior of 5-ASA was very similar to that of Trolox, a very ...

New types of porphyrin nano- and micro-particles composed of J- and H-heteroaggregates were prepared by electrostatic self-assembly of two oppositely charged porphyrins, tetrakis(4-trimethylammoniophenyl)porphyrin (H2TAPP4+) and tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin cobalt(II) (CoTPPS4-), in aqueous solutions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed novel morphology and size distrib...

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is synthesized quickly at room temperature in methanol with the support of ultrasound. Porous ZnO also prepared via thermal treatment ZIF-8. The photocatalytic activities obtained materials are demonstrated methylene blue (MB) decomposition under UV radiation. characterized by means X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)...

A new macrocyclic ligand (H2L) was synthesized by reaction of Acenaphthoquinone and oaminophenol. Then, its Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II) and Cd (II) complexes were synthesized by the condensation method. Macrocyclic ligand (H2L) and Co(NO3)2.6H2O, Ni(NO3)2.6H2O, Cu(NO3)2.6H2O, ZnCl2.2H2O and CdCl2.2H2O respectively. The ligand and its complexes have been characterized by IR, H, UV–Vis spe...

Well-defined olive-shaped Bi(2)S(3)/BiVO(4) microspheres were synthesized through a limited chemical conversion route (LCCR), where olive-shaped BiVO(4) microspheres and thioacetamide (TAA) were used as precursors and sulfur source, respectively. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution trans...

several novel mononuclear zn(ii) complexes, [zn(bpy)l2], where bpy=2,2’-bipyridine and l=monoanions of phenylcyanamide (pcyd), 4-methylphenylcyanamide (4-mepcyd), 3,5-dimethylphenylcyanamide(3,5-me2pcyd),4-methoxyphenylcyanamide(4-meopcyd), 3,5-dimeth-oxyphenylcyanamide (3,5-meo2pcyd), 3-chlorophenylcyanamide (3-clpcyd), 2,3-dichlorophenyl-cyanamide (2,3-cl2pcyd), 4-bromophenylcyanamide (4-brpc...
