Abstract Four mixed-ligand complexes were prepared and formulated as [Ln(H2OBA)(H2PZDC)] and [Ln(H2OBA)(H2PDC)] {Ln = La & Gd; H2OBA = 4,4-oxybisbenzoic acid; H2PDC = 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid; H2PZDC = 2,3-pyrazinedicarboxylic acid}. The complexes were modified by a nickel/cobalt impregnation method to generate bimetallic complexes 1–8. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis of the bimetallic complexes indicated that the carboxylate coordinated to the lanthanide ion via the OH- group while the Ni2+ and Co2+ ions were preferentially bonded to the nitrogen donor ligand via the N- group. Complete catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by the Ni@ complexes gave a maximum reduction time of 37 minutes for complex 1 while complex 7 gave a reduction time of 21 minutes. The rate constants were observed to increase with an increase in temperature up to 50 °C for complexes 3, 5, and 7. - Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of a Dinuclear Cu(II) Coordination Polymer Based on Quinoxaline and 3,3-Thiodipropionic Acid Ligands

A novel Zn(II) mixed‐ligand complex, Zn(nba)2(meim)2 (1), synthesized from Zn(NO3)2.6H2O, nitrobenzoic acid (Hnba) and 1‐methylimidazole (meim) is reported. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR, powder and single crystal X‐ray crystallography and TGA/DSC. 1 exhibits a tetrahedral geometry for Zn(II), which is coordinated to two carboxylate oxygen atoms from two nba anions and two imidazole nitrogen atoms from two meim molecules. Thermal analysis shows the stability of 1 up to 260 °C. The adsorption of eosin yellow (EY) dye on 1 was investigated. The adsorption capacity of 1 for EY amounted to 65.32 mg/g, fitting best into Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic models. From DFT studies, it was determined that adsorption is predominantly due to electrostatic, hydrogen bonding and π‐π interactions. - Synthesis, characterization and density functional theory of copper(II) complex and cobalt(II) coordination polymer for detection of nitroaromatic explosives

AbstractThe interaction of eosin B dye from aqueous solution with MIL-100(Fe) and functionalized MIL-100(Fe) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported in this study. MIL-100(Fe) was prepared and functionalized with thioglycolic acid (TH) and ethylenediammine (ED) separately by incorporating the thiol (–SH) and the amine (–NH2) group of the functionalizing agents into the open metal sites of the MIL-100(Fe) to obtain the acidic (TH-MIL-100) and basic (ED-MIL-100) forms of the MOF respectively. Characterization of the MOFs was done by melting point analysis, elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powdered X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis. The adsorption experiments were carried out at different conditions such as pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration of the dye to estimate the optimum conditions and the maximum adsorption capacities. Adsorption capacities were observed to increase in the order of ED-MIL-100 < MIL-100 < TH-MIL-100, while the TH-MIL-100 was the most effective in the removal process due to acid–base interaction between the acidic thiol group (–SH) and the alkaline medium of eosin B dye solution. The Langmuir Isotherm was seen to fit well to adsorption data obtained for all three adsorbent materials studied, and adsorption processes followed the pseudo-second order kinetics. This study, therefore, indicates the suitability of functionalization of MIL-100(Fe) towards improving its adsorption capacity. - Synthesis and crystal structures of zinc(II) coordination polymers of trimethylenedipyridine (tmdp), 4-nitrobenzoic (Hnba) and 4-biphenylcarboxylic acid (Hbiphen) for adsorptive removal of methyl orange from aqueous solution

Abstract Adsorptive removal of organic pollutant (pyrene) was carried out using coordination polymer [Cu(Pic)2(H2O)2]·H2O (CP-1) (where “Pic” represents picolinic acid), which was prepared from copper acetate monohydrate and picolinic acid. The compound was characterized by spectroscopic techniques, SEM, elemental and thermal analyses and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The crystal structure of CP-1 shows a centrosymmetric triclinic space group P-1 in which a = 5.0924 (4) Å, b = 7.5172 (6) Å, c = 9.0965 (8) Å. The Cu2+ ion is seen to have an octahedral geometry, which is bonded to oxygen atoms from the picolinic acid and nitrogen atoms from the pyridine rings. Pyrene adsorption from aqueous media was studied with the prepared adsorbent (CP-1). The kinetic model was observed to be second order, and the sorption data fitted best into the Langmuir model. The absorbent, CP-1, was shown to have a 90.91 mg/g adsorption capacity (maximum) for pyrene in this study at 25 °C. Compound CP-1 can thus be presented as a potential adsorbent in the treatment of pyrene-polluted water. - Assessment of heavy metals in foods and adult dietary intake estimates

Levels of some heavy metals were investigated in 114 snack samples consumed in Ibadan city, Nigeria. The concentrations of the selected metals were observed to range widely in the sampled food snacks: cadmium (0.004 to 0.892 mg/kg), cobalt (0.090 to 0.797 mg/kg), chromium (0.015 to 0.702 mg/kg), copper (0.077 to 07.548 mg/kg), iron (0.070 to 65.11 mg/kg), nickel (0.165 to 3.327 mg/kg), lead (0.069 to 1.207 mg/kg), and zinc (0.015 to 94.382 mg/kg). Mean concentrations of the selected heavy metals were found to range from 0.179 mg/kg (observed for cadmium) to 21.632 mg/kg (observed for iron) among the snacks, with iron having the highest level observed in bean cake (62.397 ± 20.10 mg/kg). The levels of the selected heavy metals in the foods were comparable with data reported in studies carried out in other countries. The daily dietary intake of the selected metals for the adult population was observed to differ in the income groups, with the highest intakes observed in the low-income group. For example, dietary intakes of cadmium observed to be 0.080 mg/person/day for the low income group, 0.061 mg/person/day for the middle income group, and 0.040 mg/person/day for the high income group were higher than the range (0.01 to 0.02 mg/person/day) specified by the European Commission (1996). - Synthesis and crystal structures of a copper(ii) dinuclear complex and zinc(ii) coordination polymers as materials for efficient oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene
