Photoinduced interaction studies on N-(2-methylthiophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1- naphthadiamine with TiO2 nanoparticles: A combined experimental and theoretical (DFT and spectroscopic) approach

Schiff base derivative synthesized by the reaction of 2-(methylthio) aniline and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde exhibits keto-amine tautomerism in methanol solvent. The fluorescence quenching of N-(2-methyl thiophenyl)-2- hydroxy-1-naphthadiamine (NMTHN) by TiO2 nanoparticles in methanol has been studied. The excitation and emission peaks have been observed at 439 and 509 nm respectively. The apparent association constant has been deduced from the absorption spectral changes of NMTHN-TiO2 nanoparticles using Bensi-Hildebrand equation. The number of binding sites and the binding constant have been calculated from the relevant fluorescence data. Quenching of fluorescence of NMTHN by TiO2 could be due to a dynamic mode. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations also have been performed to study the charge distribution of NMTHN-TiO2 both in ground and excited states. The HOMO-LUMO analysis of NMTHN-TiO2 in the ground state has been made.

Dual Catalysis of the Selective Polymerization of Biosourced Myrcene and Methyl Methacrylate Promoted by Salicylaldiminato Cobalt(II) Complexes with a Pendant Donor

Cobalt complexes (Co1-Co6) bis-chelated by phenoxy (4,6-di-tert-butyl-2-phenol, naphthalen-2-ol)-imine ligands containing pendant hard oxygen (Co1 and Co4), soft sulfur (Co2 and Co5), or phosphine donors (Co3 and Co6) are reported for dual catalysis of selective polymerization for biosourced myrcene and methyl methacrylate (MMA). X-ray analysis reveals that the complexes features a distorted octahedral coordination of the cobalt center binding with phenolate oxygen, imine nitrogen, and pendant donor (P for Co3 and S for Co5). Activated by MMAO or AliBu3, all precursors are able to not only convert myrcene to cis-1,4-polymyrence but also polymerize MMA resulting in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with moderate syndiotacticity. The introduction of pendant donor concurrently improves activity and stability particularly at 60-80 °C for polymerizations of both monomers. The enhanced activity and selectivity observed in myrcene cis-1,4 polymerization promoted by the sulfur and oxygen containing catalysts may relate to the weak Co-X (X = O, S) interaction, facilitating myrcene coordination. However, the donor effect on MMA polymerization activity is reversed, with phosphine donated catalyst demonstrating remarkably enhanced activity. This study represents the first example of cobalt catalyzed polymerization of both polar and nonpolar functions via possible mechanisms differentiated by pendant donor and also may provide valuable insights into their essential role in mediating the polymerization process.

Boranil dye based "turn-on" fluorescent probes for detection of hydrogen peroxide and their cell imaging application

The synthesis of boranil dye fluorescent probes for the detection of hydrogen peroxide has been described. The probes exhibited high selectivity in sensing hydrogen peroxide among other reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species and biologically p
