Synthesis,characterization, DNA binding/cleavage,and anticancer and antimicrobial activities: Nano-sized Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes and their use as a precursor for CoO and CdO nanoparticles

In the search of effective bioactive compounds, Co(II) ( C1 ) and Cd(II) ( C2 ) complexes of the type [M(FMAPIMP)(H₂O)Cl].nH₂O (where M = Co(II); n = 2, Cd(II); n = 3, and FMAPIMP = ligand[2-((E)-((2-(((E)-furan-2-ylmethylene)amino)phenyl)imino)methyl)phenol]) were synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, UV–Vis., cyclic voltammetry, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectral studies. The thermal stability of nano-sized Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Cobalt and cadmium oxides were synthesized using cobalt and cadmium nanoparticle (NP) structure Schiff base complexes as the raw material after calcination for 5 h at 600 °C. According to the results, Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes with mole ratio 1:1 of metal: H-FMAPIMP which octahedral are the most probable geometry for it. On the contrary, synthesized C1 and C2 NPs were used as suitable precursors for the preparation of CoO and CdO NPs. The obtained NPs were characterized using FT-IR, UV–Vis., TGA, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy techniques. PXRD analysis revealed that the obtained oxides were crystalline and corresponded to CoO and CdO phases. Crystal size, shape, and morphology were determined using SEM and TEM. H-FMAPIMP and its two complexes ( C1 and C2 ) were tested against human ovarian cancer cell line (PA-1). The synthesized Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes exhibited enhanced activity against the tested bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia Coli) and fungal strains (Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus) as compared to H-FMAPIMP. The results of the DNA-cleavage activity indicated that the ligand and its two complexes can cleave calf thymus-DNA at different degrees. Further, antituberculosis activity was performed using microplate alamarBlue assay. Among all these synthesized compounds, C1 exhibited good cleaving ability compared to the newly synthesized C2 . Finally, the geometry of H-FMAPIMP and its Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes was optimized using molecular modeling.     

Photocatalytic degradation of acid blue 74 in water using Ag–Ag2O–Zno nanostuctures anchored on graphene oxide

Water pollution due to industrial effluents from industries which utilize dyes in the manufacturing of their products has serious implications on aquatic lives and the general environment. Thus, there is need for the removal of dyes from wastewater before being discharged into the environment. In this study, a nanocomposite consisting of silver, silver oxide (Ag₂O), zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized, characterized and photocatalytically applied in the degradation (and possibly mineralization) of organic pollutants in water treatment process. The Ag–Ag₂O–ZnO nanostructure was synthesized by a co-precipitation method and calcined at 400 °C. It was functionalized using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane and further anchored on carboxylated graphene oxide via the formation of an amide bond to give the Ag–Ag₂O–ZnO/GO nanocomposite. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized by UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy. The applicability of Ag–Ag₂O–ZnO/GO nanocomposite as a photocatalyst was investigated in the photocatalytic degradation of acid blue 74 dye under visible light irradiation in synthetic wastewater containing the dye. The results indicated that Ag–Ag₂O–ZnO/GO nanocomposite has a higher photocatalytic activity (90% removal) compared to Ag–Ag₂O–ZnO (85% removal) and ZnO (75% removal) respectively and thus lends itself to application in water treatment, where the removal of organics is very important.

Ag<Subscript>3</Subscript>PO<Subscript>4</Subscript>/Bi<Subscript>2</Subscript>MoO<Subscript>6</Subscript> heterostructures with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B

Highly efficient visible-light-driven Ag₃PO₄/Bi₂MoO₆ hybrid photocatalysts with different mole ratios of Ag₃PO₄ were prepared via sonochemical method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that product are cubic Ag₃PO₄ nanoparticles supported on orthorhombic Bi₂MoO₆ nanoplates. Under visible light irradiation (>420 nm), the Ag₃PO₄/Bi₂MoO₆ photocatalysts displayed the higher photocatalytic activity than pure Bi₂MoO₆ for the decolorization of rhodamine B (RhB). Among the hybrid photocatalysts, 10% Ag₃PO₄/Bi₂MoO₆ exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for the decolorization of RhB due to the efficient separation of electron–hole pairs.     

Visible‐Light Photocatalytic Activity and Deactivation Mechanism of Ag3PO4 Spherical Particles

Ag₃PO₄ spherical particles were synthesized by a facile precipitation method using silver nitrate and Na₂HPO₄ as precursors. The as‐prepared samples had a high photocatalytic activity toward Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation under visible‐light illumination. With increasing recycling times the photocatalytic activity first increased and then decreased. Based on systematic characterization of particles by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a possible mechanism responsible for the improvement and subsequent decline of the photocatalytic performance of Ag₃PO₄ is proposed. Ag₃PO₄ spherical particles recycled for four times showed the highest photocatalytic activity because, according to our mechanism, Ag nanoparticles deposited on Ag₃PO₄ acted as electron trapping centers to prevent photogenerated electron‐hole pairs from recombination. A further increase in the recycle times decreases the photocatalytic activity owing to the shielding effect by Ag layers on the surface of Ag₃PO₄. The results presented herein shed new light on the photostability of Ag₃PO₄ spherical particles and are potentially applicable to other photocatalytically active composites.

The as-prepared NPs were assigned based on X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Brunauer – Emmett – Teller (BET) surface area measurements. The CdS absorption and emission spectra were also recorded that revealed an energy gap of 2.47 eV and large Stokes shift of 130 nm. For the as-prepared NPs, the measurements have also indicated a mesoporous structure and an average particle size of 20–28 nm associated with an average pore diameter of 11.21 nm. The as-synthesized CdS NPs acted as antifungal controlling agent against human and plant pathogenic fungi of serious environmental and health concerns. The NPs at concentration of 200 ppm inhibited several fungi with inhibition efficiency of 100% against Aspergillus ustus Au-28. The nanoparticles induced morphological abnormalities in fungal mycelia, conidia and vesicle.

Comparison of the photonic effects of Mn-CNT/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> composites modified by different oxidants

Manganese-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on titania (TiO₂) composites modified by different oxidants (KMnO₄, (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ and m-chlorperbenzoic acid (MCPBA)) were prepared with a sol-gel method.

Efficient photodegradation of resorcinol with Ag2O/ZnO nanorods heterostructure under a compact fluorescent lamp irradiation

Ag₂O/ZnO heterostructure has been recently synthesized using a facile chemical-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results confirmed the Ag₂O nanoparticles loading on ZnO nanorods. The Ag₂O addition increased the visible light absorption ability and a red shift for Ag₂O/ZnO heterostructure appeared when compared to pure ZnO. Photoluminescence spectra showed lower emission yield on the Ag₂O/ZnO heterostructure than on pure ZnO. Such a decrease in the emission yield represents the fraction of the excited state Ag₂O sensitizer involved in the charge injection process. Under compact fluorescent lamp irradiation, the Ag₂O/ZnO heterostructure demonstrated higher photocatalytic activity than pure ZnO in the degradation of resorcinol, which can be attributed to the high separation efficiency of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs based on the cooperative roles of Ag₂O loading on ZnO nanarods. All these characteristics represent a significant contribution of the Ag₂O/ZnO heterostructure to the practical applications in indoor environmental remediation.
