Sonochemical synthesis of silver vanadium oxide micro/nanorods: Solvent and surfactant effects

In this investigation, a facile sonochemical route has been developed for the preparation of silver vanadium oxide (SVO) micro/nanorods by using silver salicylate and ammonium metavanadate as silver and vanadate precursor, respectively. Here, silver salicylate, [Ag(HSal)], is introduced as a new silver precursor to fabricate AgVO₃ nanorods. The effect of numerous solvents and surfactants on the morphology and sonochemical formation mechanism of AgVO₃ nanorods was studied. AgVO₃ nanorods were characterized by SEM and TEM images, XRD patterns, FT-IR, XPS, and EDS spectroscopy. SEM, TEM, and XRD results showed that AgO nanoparticles were formed onto AgVO₃ nanorods in the presence of ethanol, cyclohexanol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and acetone. By using polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as organic additives, the thickness of AgVO₃ nanorods decreased.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis (Tetrabutylammonium)(4,4′-Azodi(phenylcyanamide)) Salt · [(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Bu)<Subscript>4</Subscript>N]<Subscript>2</Subscript>[Azodicyd<Superscript>2−</Superscript>] · H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

Abstract The chemical preparation and crystal structure for a 4,4′-azodi(phenylcyanamide) salt) in the solid state are reported. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with the following unit cell parameters: a = 9.759(3) ?, b = 11.237(4) ?, c = 11.919(4) ?, α = 95.54(3)°, β = 98.50(3)°, γ = 109.39(2)°, Z = 1 and V = 1204.4(7) ?³. The 4,4′-azodi(phenylcyanamide) dianion, azodicyd²⁻, is approximately planar, with the cyanamide groups (–N=C=N) in an anti conformation relative to each other and the azo group (–N=N–) adopting the more thermodynamically stable trans conformation. The crystal X-ray analysis shows that there are one azo molecule cation, two tetrabutylammonium cations and one water molecule in unit cell. Intermolecular O–H···N hydrogen bonds may be effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure of this compound and to form linear chain structure in the packing.

Effects of electron‐withdrawing group on the photoisomerization of tetraaryl‐4H‐thiopyran‐1,1‐dioxides

Syntheses and photoisomerization of the new sulfone derivatives, 4,4‐di (p‐trifluoromethylphenyl)‐2,6‐diphenyl‐4H‐thiopyran‐1, 1‐dioxide and 4‐(p‐trifluoromethylphenyl)‐2,4,6‐triphenyl‐4H‐thiopyran‐1,1‐dioxide, have been investigated. The relative molar ratios of the photoproducts are compared with those of 2,4,4,6‐tetraphenyl‐4H‐thiopyran‐1,1‐dioxide as well as electron‐donating substituted 4‐methyl‐2,4,6‐triaryl‐4H‐thiopyran‐1,1‐dioxides as model compounds under identical experimental conditions using ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The results observed are discussed on the basis of a triplet excited state di‐π‐methane rearrangement. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Application of ion-imprinted polymer synthesized by precipitation polymerization as an efficient and selective sorbent for separation and pre-concentration of chromium ions from some real samples

In this study, a new Cr(III)-imprinted polymer (Cr(III)-IIP) is prepared from CrCl₃·6H₂O, methacrylic acid functional monomer, ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate cross-linking agent, 2,2?-azobisisobutyronitrile radical initiator and 2,2-(azanediylbis (ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(isoindoline-1,3-dione) ligand. To obtain the maximum adsorption capacity, the optimum condition was studied through pH, type and concentration of eluent, IIP weight, sample volume as well as the adsorption and desorption times. The Cr(III) ion content was determined via flame atomic absorption spectrometer. In optimum conditions, the adsorption capacity of the IIP for Cr(III) was obtained to be 74.65 mg g^?1, using 50 mg of IIP and the initial pH solution of 3.0. Both the adsorption and desorption times for quantitative analyses of Cr(III) ions were 15 and 5 min; respectively. After elution of the adsorbed ions by 3 mL of 4 mol L^?1 HNO₃ aqueous solution, the established IIP-based SPE procedure provides a reasonable pre-concentration factor of 100. The IIP-based pre-concentration method provides a low detection limit of 1.7 µg L^?1 with good repeatability (RSD?=?3.22%). Reusability studies confirmed that synthesis IIP is reusable and recoverable up to six cycles. According to the selectivity experiments, it was concluded that the prepared sorbent possesses more affinity toward Cr(III) ions than other ions such as Al³⁺, Pb²⁺, Cu²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ni²⁺ ions. To evaluate the potential applicability of the proposed separation method, the pre-concentration and determination of trace amounts of Cr(III) were performed successfully in food samples with complex matrices, a bestial sample (i.e. cow liver) and an herbal product (i.e., broccoli) as real samples.     

Preparation of aryl azides of aryl boronic acids and one-pot synthesis of 1,4-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles by a magnetic cysteine functionalized GO–CuI/II nanocomposite

A mixed Cu^I/Cu^IIcatalyst based on magnetic cysteine functionalized graphene oxide (Cu^I/II@Cys-MGO) was prepared and used for the azidonation reaction of aryl boronic acids and one-pot synthesis of 1,4-diaryl −1,2,3-triazoles. Aryl azides were obtained in good yields and short reaction times via cross-coupling of aryl boronic acids with sodium azide in the presence of Cu^II catalytic species in this catalytic system. The azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction was catalyzed by CuI catalytic species in Cu^I/^II@Cys-MGO nanocomposite.
