Significantly sensitive and energy-efficient gas sensors using 2D materials are an essential research topic for environmental monitoring applications. In this work, we carried out a comprehensive study on an iron-functionalized black phosphorene interface for nitrogen dioxide gas detection using a first-principles quantum transport method. Density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green’s function method were employed to investigate structural stability, electronic structure modulation, charge transfer, and bias-dependent transport characteristics. Numerical convergence of self-consistent field calculations confirms computational stability, as the total energy change is found to be below 1.0 × 10 −4 eV. The adsorption energy of −2.67 eV confirms strong chemisorption of NO 2 on the Fe active site. The Hirshfeld population method indicates a charge transfer of −0.16 e on the NO 2 molecule and a Fe atom with a charge of + 0.21 e, confirming it as an electron donor site. The analysis of the electronic structure indicates a reduction in the band gap of 54% from 0.04895 eV to 0.02241 eV and a shift in the Fermi level of 0.145 eV. The work function is increased by 0.34 eV, indicating that interfacial dipoles are formed. Transmission spectra indicate a suppression in conducting channels close to the Fermi level. Bias-dependent transport simulations indicate a maximum sensitivity of 32% for a voltage of 0.2 V. Quasi-ohmic behavior is indicated with a rectification ratio close to unity. Hence, the device is confirmed to operate in a resistive type p-type mode. Fe-functionalized phosphorene is confirmed to be a promising platform for detecting NO₂ with high sensitivity and low voltage. This graphic illustrates the multiscale computational investigation of an Fe-functionalized black phosphorene interface for NO₂ detection using density functional theory (DFT) and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) methods. The study reveals that strong chemisorption (Eads = −2.67 eV) of NO₂ at the iron active site drives a strong charge transfer of approximately −0.16e to the gas molecule, creating a distinct electron depletion zone. This charge redistribution results in a 54% reduction in the band gap and a significant downward shift in the Fermi level, transforming the electronic structure. The calculated two-probe transport characteristics demonstrate that this interface functions as a quasi-ohmic, high-sensitivity p-type sensor, achieving a maximum sensing response of approximately 32% at an ultra-low operating bias of 0.2 V, highlighting its potential for low-power environmental monitoring.

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2026
Objective: This study aims to synthesize and evaluate the antimicrobial potential of a series of novel quinoline-pyrazolone hybrid derivatives IVa–IVj as promising therapeutic candidates against common bacterial and fungal pathogens. The growing resistance to existing antimicrobial agents highlights the urgent need for new chemical scaffolds with improved efficacy. Methods: The target compounds IVa–IVj were synthesized via a one-pot condensation reaction of substituted benzaldehydes, 4-aminoantipyrine, and 8-hydroxyquinoline. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs), prepared by the sol-gel method, were employed as a heterogeneous catalyst under mild reaction conditions. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against a panel of Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and fungal strains (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger) using the agar well diffusion method. Results and Discussion: Among the synthesized compounds, derivative IVg demonstrated the most potent antimicrobial activity, with zones of inhibition ranging from 13 to 16 mm against all tested microbial strains. Other derivatives, such as IVc, IVe, and IVi, also exhibited moderate activity. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that the nature and position of substituents on the benzaldehyde ring significantly influenced biological activity, with electron-donating or bulky groups enhancing antimicrobial efficacy. Conclusions: The study successfully developed a series of quinoline-pyrazolone hybrids with promising antibacterial and antifungal properties. These compounds, particularly IVg, may serve as lead structures for the further development of novel antimicrobial agents to address the challenge of drug-resistant infections.
Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of 4-(((8-Hydroxyquinolin-7-yl) (phenyl)methyl)amino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one Derivatives Using TiO2Nanoparticles as a Catalyst

A series of 4-(((8-hydroxyquinolin-7-yl)(phenyl)methyl)amino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl- 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one derivatives (4a–j) were synthesized via a one-pot, three-component reaction. The reaction employed benzaldehyde derivatives (1a–j), 4-aminoantipyrine (2), and 8- hydroxyquinoline (3), using titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) as a catalyst. The TiO2 NPs, synthesized through a sol–gel method, efficiently catalyzed the transformation under mild conditions, delivering high yields in just 9 minutes at room temperature. Optimization revealed that 0.010 g of catalyst in methanol was optimal, with protic solvents outperforming aprotic and non-polar ones. The reaction progress was monitored using thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and the final products were isolated via recrystallization. A systematic study of reaction parameters confirmed TiO2 NPs as an efficient, reusable, and environmentally friendly catalyst for multicomponent organic synthesis.

Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 2026
A series of novel quinoline‐pyrazole hybrid derivatives (4a–j) were synthesized via a rapid, eco‐friendly one‐pot three‐component condensation using TiO 2 nanoparticles as catalysts. The reaction proceeded efficiently at room temperature in methanol, yielding products within 5–10 min. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against MCF‐7 and HepG2 cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. Compound 4e (4‐OCH₃) exhibited the most potent activity, with IC 50 values of 9.1 ± 0.5 μM (MCF‐7) and 24.2 ± 0.7 μM (HepG2), comparable to doxorubicin (10.6 ± 0.2 μM for MCF‐7). Structure–activity relationship analysis revealed that electron‐donating groups (4‐OCH 3 , 3‐OCH 3 , and 4‐CH 3 ). Molecular docking studies against EGFR (1 M17) and VEGFR2 (3VHE) showed that 4e exhibited superior binding affinity (−6.34 and −7.51 kcal/mol) compared with erlotinib and sorafenib, with key hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions in the ATP‐binding sites. These findings establish quinoline‐pyrazole hybrids as promising dual EGFR/VEGFR2 inhibitors, with compound 4e being a lead candidate for anticancer drug development.

Abstract Density functional theory calculations were used to investigate the structural and electronic properties of three halogen-substituted indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline–oxazole derivatives: (E)-5-(4-bromophenyl)-2-[2-(7,8-dimethyl-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidene)hydrazinyl]oxazole, (E)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[2-(7,8-dimethyl-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidene)hydrazinyl]oxazole, and (E)-2-[2-(7,8-dimethyl-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidene)hydrazinyl]-5-(4-fluorophenyl)oxazole. Stable molecular structures for all the three compounds were confirmed through geometry optimization at the RB3LYP/3-21G level of theory. Electronic structure analysis revealed that the frontier molecular orbital energy gaps are strongly influenced by the halogen substituent: ΔEgap 3.44 eV (Br), 1.79 eV (Cl), and 1.75 eV (F). These variations indicate differences in molecular reactivity, charge transfer properties, and optoelectronic potential. Electrostatic potential (ESP) mapping further elucidated charge distribution patterns, highlighting electrophilic and nucleophilic regions. The findings provide valuable insights into the electronic modulation of the studied quinoxaline–oxazole derivatives, making them promising candidates for optoelectronic and material science applications.
