Functional zinc(II) phthalocyanines bearing Schiff base complexes as oxidation catalysts for bleaching systems

Oxidation catalysis is used to increase the performance of hydrogen peroxide in laundry bleach applications. Bleach catalysts provide cost‐effective, energy‐saving and environmentally friendly bleach systems yielding perfect stain removal at lower temperatures. This comparative study is based on the synthesis of bis[bis(salicylhydrazonephenoxy)manganese(III)] phthalocyaninatozinc(II) ( 2 ), bis[bis(salicylhydrazonephenoxy)cobalt(III)] phthalocyaninatozinc(II) ( 3 ) and bis[bis(salicylhydrazonephenoxy)iron(III)] phthalocyaninatozinc(II) ( 4 ) as tri‐nuclear complexes consisting of two Schiff base complexes substituting a zinc phthalocyanine. Complexion on the periphery to obtain complexes 2 , 3 , 4 was performed through the reaction of a Schiff base‐substituted phthalocyanine using MnCl₂?4H₂O, CoCl₂?6H₂O or FeCl₃?6H₂O salts in basic condition in dimethylformamide. Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV–visible, inductively coupled plasma optical emission and mass spectra were applied to characterize the prepared compounds. The bleach performances of the three phthalocyanine compounds 2 , 3 , 4 were examined by the degradation of morin as hydrophilic dye. The degradation progress in the presence of catalysts 2 , 3 , 4 /H₂O₂ combination in aqueous solution was investigated using an online spectrophotometric method. It was found that the catalysts 2 , 3 , 4 exhibited better bleaching performance at 25 °C than tetraactylethylethylenediamine as bleach activator used in powder detergent formulations for stain removal.

Stress Distribution in an Infinite Elastic Body with a Locally Curved Fiber in a Geometrically Nonlinear Statement

Within the framework of a piecewise homogeneous body model, with the use of three-dimensional geometrically nonlinear exact equations of elasticity theory, a method for determining the stress—strain state in unidirectional fibrous composites with locally curved fibers is developed for the case where the interaction between the fibers is neglected. All the investigations are carried out for an infinite elastic body containing a single locally curved fiber. Numerical results illustrating the effect of geometrical nonlinearity on the distribution of the self-balanced normal and shear stresses acting on the interface and arising as a result of local curving of the fiber are presented.__________Russian translation published in Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 41, No. 4, pp. 433–448, July–August, 2005.     

First-principles studies of the electronic structure and optical properties of AgBO<Subscript>3</Subscript> (B=Nb,Ta) in the paraelectric phase

The electronic energy-band structure, density of states (DOS), and optical properties of AgBO₃ in the paraelectric cubic phase have been studied by using density functional theory within the local density approximation for exchange-correlation for the first time. The band structure shows a band gap of 1.533 eV (AgNbO₃)and 1.537 eV (AgTaO₃)at (M-⌈)point in the Brillouin zone. The optical spectra of AgBO₃ in the photon energy range up to 30 eV are investigated under the scissor approximation. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function and — thus the optical constants such as reflectivity, absorption coefficient, electron energy-loss function, refractive index, and extinction coefficient — are calculated. We have also made some comparisons with related experimental and theoretical data that is available.      

Poly(HEMA-co-AA) microparticles for removal of aluminum: The reason for Alzheimer's

Aluminum is one of the most toxic metals causing a variety of neurologic diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease. It is impossible to avoid contact with aluminum because of its existence in food to medications. Therefore, removal of aluminum from the blood or wastewater is urgently important. The cost-effective and easy-to-prepare adsorbents are needed to get efficient aluminum removal. For that purpose, the poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate-co-acrylic acid), poly(HEMA-co-AA), microparticles was synthesized to remove aluminum in a very short interaction time. The achievement of the desired polymeric structure was confirmed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), etc. Additionally, particle features such as swelling ratio, size, and surface area were determined. The microparticles synthesized in this study have been determined with very good adsorption capacity even in small aluminum concentrations.     

Genocchi polynomials associated with the Umbral algebra

The aim of this paper is to study on the Genocchi polynomials of higher order on P, the algebra of polynomials in the single variable x over the field C of characteristic zero and P^∗, the vector spaces of all linear functional on P. By using the action of a linear functional L on a polynomial p(x) Sheffer sequences and Appell sequences, we obtain some fundamental properties of the Genocchi polynomials. Furthermore, we give relations between, the first and second kind Stirling numbers, Euler polynomials of higher order and Genocchi polynomials of higher order.     

${[\ell_p]}_{e.r}$ Euler-Riesz Difference Sequence Spaces

Başar and Braha [1], introduced the sequence spaces $\breve{\ell}_\infty$, $\breve{c}$ and $\breve{c}_0$ of Euler-Cesáro bounded, convergent and null difference sequences and studied their some properties. Then, in [2], we introduced the sequence spaces ${[\ell_\infty]}_{e.r}, {[c]}_{e.r}$ and ${[c_0]}_{e.r}$ of Euler-Riesz bounded, convergent and null difference sequences by using the composition of the Euler mean $E_1$ and Riesz mean $R_q$ with backward difference operator $\Delta$. The main purpose of this study is to introduce the sequence space ${[\ell_p]}_{e.r}$ of Euler-Riesz $p-$absolutely convergent series, where $1 \leq p <\infty$, difference sequences by using the composition of the Euler mean $E_1$ and Riesz mean $R_q$ with backward difference operator $\Delta$. Furthermore, the inclusion $\ell_p\subset{[\ell_p]}_{e.r}$ hold, the basis of the sequence space ${[\ell_p]}_{e.r}$ is constructed and $\alpha-$, $\beta-$ and $\gamma-$duals of the space are determined. Finally, the classes of matrix transformations from the ${[\ell_p]}_{e.r}$ Euler-Riesz difference sequence space to the spaces $\ell_\infty, c$ and $c_0$ are characterized. We devote the final section of the paper to examine some geometric properties of the space ${[\ell_p]}_{e.r}$.
