New complexes of trivalent cobalt with substituted thiosemicarbazone ligands having an NNS donor system {HL¹ = 4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)thiosemicarbazide and HL² = 4-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)thiosemicarbazi...

Metal oxide nanocomposites (MON) have gained significant attention in the literature for the possibility of improving the optical and electronic properties of the hybrid material, compared to its pristine constituent oxides. These superior properties...

Globally, the continuous contamination of natural water resources is a severe issue, and looking for a solution for such a massive problem should be the researcher’s concern. Herein, Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃-CuO, Al₂O₃-NiO, and Al₂O₃-CoO were prepared via...

The high-temperature interactions of β-SiAlONs with sodium fluoride NaF at 1650 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere are described in this paper. It was found that in case of Si₅AlON₇ the formation of phases enriched with aluminum occurred, includ...

We present a detailed study of the structural and electrical changes occurring in two graphene oxide (GO) samples during thermal reduction in the presence of malonic acid (MA) (5 and 10 wt%) and P₂O₅ additives. The morphology and de-oxidation efficie...

Research on the regeneration of cathode materials of spent lithium-ion batteries for resource reclamation and environmental protection is attracting more and more attention today. However, the majority of studies on recycling lithium-ion batteries (L...

The semiconducting transition metal oxide TiO₂ is a rather cheap and non-toxic material with superior photocatalytic properties. TiO₂ thin films and nanoparticles are known to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antialgal, self, water, and air...

We report a comparative study of coordination behaviour of 2-(2-aminophenyl)benzothiazole (NH₂-pbt) and its phosphorus-containing derivative, α-aminophosphine oxide (PCNH-pbt), towards zinc halides. The corresponding coordination compounds [Zn(...

The production of electricity in a greener and more sustainable way by employing renewable sources is a great challenge in modern times. Photovoltaic systems represent an important possibility because sunlight is the most abundant renewable source. I...

Continuous waste discharge into natural water resources in many countries is a severe global issue, and seeking an effective solution is a researcher’s concern. Herein, toilet paper waste was a low-cost precursor for preparing carbon nanopartic...

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have evolved from a revolutionary concept to widely applied catalysts. We recently reported the ring-expanded N-heterocyclic carbene supported copper(I) boryliminomethanide, (6-Dipp)CuC(=N^tBu)Bpin and noted it reacted wi...

Within the current challenges in medicinal chemistry, the development of new and better therapeutic agents effective against infectious diseases produced by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites stands out. With chemotherapy as one of the main stra...

Osme bonds have been recently defined as the attractive interaction between an element of group 8 acting as an electrophile and any atom or group of atoms acting as a nucleophile. To date, the known examples of osme bonds in X-ray structures involve...

Ubiquitous carbonic acid, H₂CO₃, a key molecule in biochemistry, geochemistry, and also extraterrestrial chemistry, is known from a plethora of physicochemical studies. Its crystal structure has now been determined from neutron-diffraction data on a...

To mitigate antibiotic residues in the water environment, Bi₂Sn₂O₇/g-C₃N₄ (BSCN) heterojunction was fabricated by a facile ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal method. The microstructure, morphology, and optical properties of Bi₂Sn₂O₇/g-C₃N₄ heterojuncti...

A CuO-loaded SrTiO₃ catalyst showed highly photocatalytic activity for H₂ evolution. This catalyst was prepared by an impregnation method and characterized by XRD, TEM, BET, XPS, Uv-vis DRS and PL techniques. Under optimum conditions, the best rate o...

A new series of tin(II) complexes (1, 2, 4, and 5) were successfully synthesized by employing hydroxy functionalized pyridine ligands, specifically 2-hydroxypyridine (hpH), 8-hydroxyquinoline (hqH), and 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline (hbqH) as stabilizi...

Two previously synthesized cobalt(II) coordination polymers; {[Co(μ₂-suc)(nia)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}n (suc = succinate(2−), nia = nicotinamide) and [Co(μ₂-fum)(nia)₂(H₂O)₂]n (fum = fumarate(2−)) were prepared and thoroughly character...

In the present article, the influence of the activator concentration and impurity content of raw materials on the luminescence and scintillation properties of Li₂CaSiO₄ was studied. Polycrystalline powder material was obtained by the sol–gel me...

Manganese oxides (MnO_x) have been regarded as promising catalyst candidates for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to their natural abundance and extremely low toxicity. However, the intrinsic low conductivity of MnO_x limits their application. In th...

In this work, the relationship between the photodegradation rate of methylene blue (MB) and the effective surface charge of titania nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs) in an aqueous solution is addressed. Colloidal dispersions were prepared from TiO₂ NPs (4&nda...

Adding mineral admixture is one of the leading technical ways to improve the durability of cement-based materials. Nano attapulgite clay (NAC) is a unique fiber rod crystal structure that can change the physical and mechanical properties of cement-ba...
