铌酸锰-还原氧化石墨烯复合光催化剂的构建以及可见光下降解亚甲基蓝

通过水热法和光还原方法成功地制备了铌酸锰-还原氧化石墨烯复合光催化剂。这种复合光催化剂可以明显地提高光催化降解亚甲基蓝的光催化活性,降解效率在60 min内达到了78.2%,是单体铌酸锰降解效率的2倍。通过活性物质捕获实验的研究,增强的光催化性能可以归因于还原氧化石墨烯加速了光生电子-空穴的分离效率,进而解决了低光催化活性的问题。

水热法合成在可见光照射下具有高催化活性的纳米TiO2催化剂

 以丙酮为溶剂,采用水热法在240 ℃合成了表面吸附有机物的纳米TiO2粉体光催化剂,并采用XRD,TEM,UV-Vis和DRS等技术对催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明,合成的纳米TiO2催化剂在可见光激发下具有良好的光催化降解甲基橙的性能和较好的热稳定性. 经180,250和365 ℃热处理后,催化剂的晶型和尺寸没有变化,但催化剂表面吸附的有机物发生了明显变化. 催化剂表面吸附的有机物、可见光波段的光响应性能和可见光下催化降解甲基橙的效率之间存在良好的关联性,催化剂表面吸附适量的有机物可提高纳米TiO2催化剂在可见光波段的光响应性能,从而提高其在可见光照射下催化降解甲基橙的性能.

UV‐Visible and Electrochemical Monitoring of Carbon Monoxide Release by Donor Complexes to Myoglobin Solutions and to Electrodes Modified with Films Containing Hemin

This study reports on the evaluation of the CO donating behavior of tricarbonyl dichloro ruthenium(II) dimer ([Ru(CO)₃Cl₂]₂) and 1,3‐dimethoxyphenyl tricarbonyl chromium (C₆H₃(MeO)₂Cr(CO)₃) complex by UV‐visible technique and electrochemical technique. The CO release was monitored by following the modifications of the UV‐visible features of MbFe(II) in phosphate buffer solution and the redox features of reduced Hemin, HmFe(II), confined at the surface of a vitreous carbon electrode. In the latter case, the interaction between the hemin‐modified electrode and the released CO was seen through the observation of an increase of the reduction current related to the Fe^III/Fe^II redox process of the immobilized porphyrin. While the ruthenium‐based complex, ([Ru(CO)₃Cl₂]₂), depended on the presence of Fe(II) species to release CO, it was found that the chromium‐based complex released spontaneously CO. This was facilitated by illuminating and/or simple stirring of the solution containing the complex.     

Oxidative Coupling of 4-Hydroxycoumarins with Quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones Induced by Visible Light under Aerobic Conditions

Direct and selective C(sp²)−H/C(sp²)−H cross-dehydrogenative coupling has become a promising strategy to increase molecular complexity with a high atom economy. This study describes an efficient and straightforward protocol for the regioselective C₃-H/C₃-H cross-coupling of 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives with quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones, including late-stage modification of natural drugs, promoted by visible light under aerobic conditions at room temperature. With this approach, a wide range of hybrid drug-like molecules were prepared, using air as the terminal oxidant. Remarkably, the C₄-OH group at the coumarin ring is essential for the reaction and has been used as a handle for diverse functionalizations of the final products. Moreover, sunlight can promote the reaction under very mild and sustainable conditions, even on a gram scale. Qualitative and semi-quantitative tools were used to demonstrate the greenness advance of this methodology over previously reported ones. Several experiments were conducted to propose a plausible mechanism for this transformation.
