copper (ii) phthalocyanine and 2, 9, 16, 23 tetrakis nitro copper (ii) phthalocyanine has been synthesized respectively from phthalonitrile and 4-nitro phthalonitrile under solvent-free condition using two different catalysts over nanodimensional zeolites. 4-nitro phthalonitrile synthesized from phthaimide in three steps. the newly prepared compounds have been characterized by ir, uv-vis,1h nm...

The effect of oxide coating on the activity of a copper-zinc oxide-based catalyst for methanol synthesis via the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide was investigated. A commercial catalyst was coated with various oxides by a sol-gel method. The influence of the types of promoters used in the sol-gel reaction was investigated. Temperature-programmed reduction-thermogravimetric analysis revealed that...

Blue copper proteins (Type I) exhibit unusual spectral and chemical properties such as higher reduction potentials and small hyperfine coupling constants A|| in the EPR spectrum in comparison with other copper(II) complexes. Such unusual properties are justified partly by the tetralhedral geometry around the copper(II) site and partly by the CuN2S2 chromophores in which the soft S atoms coordin...

Superconductivity has again become a challenge following the discovery of unconventional superconductivity. Resistance-free currents have been observed in heavy-fermion materials, organic conductors and copper oxides. The discovery of superconductivity in a single crystal of UGe2, ZrZn2 and URhGe revived the interest in the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism. The experiments in...

In recent years, fabrication of metal oxide nanoparticles is intensively gaining the interest of various chemists as well as biochemist due to their applications in different fields. Among all the transition metal oxides, CuO and ZnO are the important metal oxide nanoparticles exhibiting tremendous properties and a wide range of applications. Both CuO and ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by comb...

soil reduces the hazardous effects of compounds on the components of ecosystem because of self –purification property and the ability for their fixation. playing such a role in soils under redox conditions is performed by pedogenic fe-mn concentrations. in order to investigate cobalt, copper and lead accumulation in iron and manganese concentrations, at first the concentrations were precisely s...

Synthesis o f the new sterically hindered pyrid ine-1-oxides 2c and 6a-c is described. Copper(II)-catalyzed photolysis o f 2 and 6a in aqueous medium provides only small am ounts o f 2-acylpyrroles 8 and 10 a together w ith by-products. Exclusive form ation and better yields of 10 can be received upon irradia tion o f 6 in none protic solvents at low tem perature. In troduc­ tion o f bulky subs...

Materials that combine coupled electric and magnetic dipole order are termed 'magnetoelectric multiferroics'. In the past few years, a new class of such materials, 'induced-multiferroics', has been discovered, wherein non-collinear spiral magnetic order breaks inversion symmetry, thus inducing ferroelectricity. Spiral magnetic order often arises from the existence of competing magnetic interact...

The removal of copper (II) ion by using ultrasound pre-treatment to increase the pores structure and surface area on peanut husk powder via direct sonication (ultrasound probe) and indirect ultrasound (ultrasound bath) at powder level 3.5 W. In previous studies, researchers had applied ultrasound simultaneous with adsorption process. This method is not suitable to treat huge amount of heavy met...
