In this research, Carbon-doped TiO2 nano-photocatalyst is synthesized via sol-gel technique and photo-catalytic degradation of phenol has been studied under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation in a fluidized bed reactor. Various techniques are used to characterize TiO2 nano-photocatalyst such as X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,  Energy Disp...

Hydrogels are widely studied for chemical sensors. However, they are known to adsorb organic compound and metal ions. The adsorption abilities of hydrogels against organic compounds and metal ions will negatively affect the performance of a hydrogel based chemical sensor. To clarify the effect of hydrophobic pollution on swelling behavior of temperature-sensitive gel, the temperature-responses ...

Studies are described that were designed to determine the structure of the active catalyst in the asymmetric catalytic aziridination of imines with ethyl diazoacetate (AZ reaction). Evidence suggests that the active catalyst contains a boroxine ring in which one of the three boron atoms is spiro-fused with the two phenol groups of the VAPOL ligand. (11)B and (1)H NMR evidence supports the borox...

The title compound, [Ni(C(25)H(19)N(4)O(2))(2)], which was obtained by the reaction of nickel(II) perchlorate with 2,6-diformyl-4-methyl-phenol and (tri-2-pyridylmeth-yl)amine in methanol solution, is a discrete monometallic complex. The Ni(II) atom is six-coordinated by the phenolate O, imine N and pyridine N atoms from two tridentate Schiff base ligands in a distorted NiN(4)O(2) octa-hedral g...

Introduction Phenol and its derivatives are present in various industrial effluents and possess a high level of toxicity even at minute concentrations. This could cause serious ecological problems if phenol-containing effluents are discharged untreated or partially treated into water bodies or land sites. Method Conventional wastewater phenol removal methods, which include biological treatment,...

In the title mononuclear complex, [La(NO(3))(3)(C(22)H(26)N(2)O(4))]·CH(3)OH, the La(III) ion is coordinated by three bidentate nitrate counter-ions and one zwitterionic 6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[(cyclo-hexane-1,2- di-yl)bis-(nitriliomethyl-idyne)]diphenolate ligand through two phenolate and two meth-oxy O atoms, while the protonated N atoms remain uncoordinated. H atoms located on the two N atoms ...

In the title compound, [Zn(C(20)H(14)NO)(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the Zn(II) atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two bidentate 2-{[(9H-fluoren-2-yl)methyl-idene]amino}-phenolate ligands within a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the two chelate rings is 82.92 (5)°. In the coordinated ligand, the phenol ring ...

The title complex, [ZnI(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O)], is a mononuclear zinc(II) compound derived from the zwitterionic form of the Schiff base (E)-2-[(3-dimethyl-amino-propyl-imino)meth-yl]phenol. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by two iodide ions in a tetra-hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are lin...
