A simple and efficient synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 3-substituted-2H-1,4-benzothiazines by using a novel sulfonic acid functionalized nano-γ-Al2O3 catalyst, devoid of corrosive acidic, and basic reagents. The developed method has the advantages of good to excellent yields, short reaction times, operational simplicity, and a recyclable catalyst. The catalyst can be ...

Dyes present in the effluent of textile industries are recalcitrant molecules difficult to be degraded biologically. In this study we used Pseudomonas fluorescens to degrade Direct Orange 102 dye. Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIM 2100 was obtained from National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India, that was adapted to grow on Direct Orange 102. The dye was subjected to degradation by the bacterium and ...

The organization of an imidazolium salt in the interlayer space of a layered inorganic compound leads to the formation of nanosegregated composites.

Protonation of polyaniline base with lightly sulfonated polystyrene in polar solvents such its dimethyl sulfoxide and N-methyl-2-py~olidone was investigated by UV-Vis absorption spectra. As the molar ratio of sulfonated polystyrenelpolyaniline increases, the conversion from polyaniline base form to salt form is observed owing 10 incrensed protonation. The isosbestic point clearly shows that qui...

Conduction of ions and charge (electrons) often follow distinct materials design rules, presenting a significant challenge for the development homogeneous that are good at both. The fundamental interactions dictate ionic electronic conduction in mixed conductors still unclear. Here, we characterize class polymeric which liquid groups tethered to an electron-conducting conjugated polymer backbon...

Efficient photogenerated carrier migration/separation plays a critical role in increasing the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4. Herein, sulfonic acid group-functionalized g-C3N4 (SACN) was synthesized and then synchronously strengthened by facile-solid-state thermal reaction sulfamic acid. As solid strong acid, can be used to achieve etching on surface with assistance treatment, leading an ...

Imidazolium-functionalized squaraine ImSQ8 is synthesized as a sensitive colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor for GTP in aqueous solution. The detection limit of GTP reaches 5.4 ppb. Its applications in the live-cell imaging and enzyme activity assay have also been demonstrated.

Phenylpropynyl-functionalized imidazolium salts, as well as their gold complexes, were prepared in excellent yields affording suitable starting materials for metal cluster synthesis. The reactions of these gold complexes with coinage metal phenylacetylides [M(CCPh)](x) (M = Cu, Ag) resulted in the formation of novel heterometallic hexanuclear clusters which exhibit mixed metallophillic interact...

Two highly efficient protocols for the production of bis-coumarins under solvent-free conditions have been introduced. The reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin (2 eq.) with arylaldehydes (1 eq.) using phthalimide-N-sulfonic acid (PhtSA) or isatin-N-sulfonic acid (IsSA), as solid-acid catalysts, afforded the mentioned compounds with good to excellent yields in short times.Briefly, we have introduced tw...
