A new one pot and solvent-free synthesis of nickel porphyrin complex

Abstract

A new one pot and solvent-free synthesis of nickel porphyrin complex is described. This is prepared by condensing pyrrole, benzaldehyde, nickel (II) chloride, and 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene as a base. This new method allows higher yields, reduced reaction times, ease of handling, and follows principles of green chemistry. The same complex is also prepared by an alternative route, i.e. first, the porphyrin is prepared and then the insertion of metal ion.

A protocol based on Groebke-Blackburn-Bienayame (GBB) multicomponent reaction has been developed for efficient and atom economical synthesis of C-glucosides of 1-azaindolizine, i.e. 2-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-N-alkylamino-1-azaindolizine.

We have developed a practical procedure for the synthesis of polyfunctional azolo[1,5-a]pyridines via the reactive species generated in situ from N-substituted lactams and Viehe’s salt.

A short reaction sequence, good yields of title compounds (44-69%), as well as their ready isolation, and purification are the distinct advantages of the reported protocol.

Facile one pot synthesis of PbS nanosheets and their characterization

Metal-sulfides semiconductor nanosheets are talented entrant to be applied in electro-optic devices. Hence, the synthesis of PbS nanosheets is achieved in the current work using a simple route. The synthesized nanosheets were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-Raman, scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-Visible, Photoluminescence (PL) and impedance spectroscopy techniques. XRD pattern and Raman spectrum confirms the formation of crystalline structure of PbS nanosheets. SEM study shows that the synthesized PbS is well defined nanosheets of <5 nm thicknesses. The absorption band edge is found to be remarkably blue shifted in nanosheets compare to bulk. The energy gap is calculated to be 1.16 eV which is about 3 times superior than the bulk value (0.41 eV). The enhancement of band gap indicates the occurrence of quantum confinement effect in PbS nanosheets. A strong violet emission band at ∼405 nm is observed in PL spectrum which is assigned to electrons transition from conduction-band edge to holes, ensnared at interstitial Pb²⁺ sites.
