The study aimed at the synthesis and antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) from organic extracts of Cola nitida and Cola acuminata leaf using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and zinc acetate dihydrate [Zn(CH3COO)2∙2H2O] as precursors on selected Gram positive and Gram negative microbes: Staphylococcus aureus, Exiguobacterium aquaticu...

A new Zn(II) complex of 4-acetylbenzoic acid, namely [ZnL2(H2O)2] (1) (HL = acid) has been synthesized in water-ethanol (v:v 1:2) solution using zinc acetate dihydrate, and NaOH as reactants. The structure characterized by IR X-ray single-crystal diffraction. diffraction analysis reveals that the ion is six-coordinated a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with four carboxylic O atoms fr...

This study investigates the green synthesis of ZnO NPs using an aqueous solution hagenia abyssinica leaf extract, which acts as a reduction zinc acetate dihydrate reducing agent and stabilizing agent. The synthesized were characterized by various techniques such XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV–Vis spectroscopy. XRD pattern confirmed that hexagonal crystalline phase structure average crystal size nanoparticl...

Chromium and ruthenium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Cr) and (ZnO:Ru) thin solid films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by the sol-gel dip-coating method. A 0.6 M solution of zinc acetate dihydrate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine was used as basic solution. Chromium (III) acetylacetonate and Ruthenium (III) trichloride were used as doping sources. The Ru incorporation and...

Plastic pollution is a global issue that approaching crisis levels as plastic production projected to reach 1.1 GT annually by 2050. The bioplastic industry along with circular economy are solutions this problem. One promising polylactic acid (PLA) has mechanical properties comparable polystyrene (PS), so it could replace PS in its applications more environmentally sustainable material. However...

595 Abstract: The antibacterial activity of zinc acetate against Staphylococcus auerus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates was measured in Mueller-Hinton broth containing different amounts of zinc acetate using spectrophotometry. Staphylococcus auerus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were inhibited by zinc acetate (p<0.05). The effect o...

The title compound, K(2)Zn(IO(3))(4)·2H(2)O, contains two symmetry-independent K and I atoms. These atoms, as well as the Zn atom, are coordinated by shared O atoms and, moreover, the Zn atom is coordinated by two water mol-ecules in trans positions. The K, Zn and water O atoms atoms are situated in special positions on twofold symmetry axes. The hydrogen atoms are involved in strong O-H⋯O hydr...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructure was successfully synthesized on an alumina substrate by the hydrothermal method. The method consists of two stages: preparation seeding layers and growth ZnO nanostructures. 0.4 M Acetate Dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O) 3 Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) were used as precursors. process carried out at 90 °C for 4 hours. Morphological characterization nanostructures conducted ...
