The coupling of tetrazotised 1,8-diaminonaphthalene with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds [acetylacetone,methylacetoacetate and acetoacetanilide] yielded a new series of tetradentate ligand systems. Analytical, IR,1H NMR and mass spectral data indicate that the compounds exist in the intramolecularly hydrogen bondeddihydrazone form. Dibasic tetradentate N2O2 coordination of these compounds in their [ML...

Copper vanadate nanostructures were prepared via ex-situ precipitation approach in presence of Schiff-base ligand (N,N׳ -buthylenebis(acetylacetone iminato)dianion = acacbn) as a new capping agent. The effect of different Cu sources and pH on the size, morphology and size distribution of copper vanadate nanostructures was investigated. The as-prepared products were characterized using X-ray dif...

The density (ρ), viscosity (η), surface tension (σ), and refractive index (R) of binary mixtures acetylacetone (acac) with ethyl acetate (Etac) were determined at atmospheric pressure over the entire composition range mixtures. values pure liquids have been used to calculate excess volume (VE), deviation in (Δη), tension. computed results fitted Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. molar (VE) fo...

Trace amounts of Be (0.046-2.59 ng) in a dried marine organism sample (10 mg) could be accurately determined by GFAAS after treating with microwave digestion (HNO3/H2O2) at 85 degrees C for 10 min and using acetylacetone as a chelating agent in the presence of an acetate buffer (pH 6.0). The method detection limit (MDL, 3sigma) for Be was found to be 4.6 ng g(-1); the calibration graph was line...

A series of Ni@g-C3N4 composites were synthesized by a simple solvent thermal method using melamine and acetylacetone nickel as precursors. The results of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicate that Ni was successfully loaded on g-C3N4. And the Ni loaded greatly enhances the photocatalytic H2 evolution activity of g-C3N4...
