two new heterogenized epoxidation nanocatalysts based on molybdenum and tungsten compounds were prepared withcovalent grafting of mcm-41 with 3-aminoropropyl trimethoxysilane and subsequent reaction with diphenylphosphinobenzaldehyde and complexation with m (mo, w)o2(acac)2. x-ray diffraction and nitrogen sorption analyses revealed the preservation of the textural properties of the support as w...

HIGHLIGHTS Fe incorporation significantly accelerated the adsorption of CPX on MCM-41.Fe leaching can be ignored when pH was higher than 4.0.pH played an important role in CPX adsorption on Fe-MCM-41.Co-effect of CPX and metal cations on Fe-MCM-41 was investigated. Fe-MCM-41s with various molar ratios of silicon to iron (20, 40, 80, and 160) were prepared to investigate adsorption properties of...

In the root apoplasm, V(V) and V(IV) toxicity can be alleviated through redox and complexation reactions involving phenolic substances and the polyuronic components. In such context we report the role of polygalacturonic acid (PGA) on the reducing activity of caffeic acid (CAF) towards V(V). The redox reaction was particularly effective at pH 2.8 leading to the formation of oxidation products w...

Thiasalen podand 9 having S2N2 donor set has been synthesized by the condensation of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde with ethylenediamine. The reaction of the thiasalen podand ligand with Pd(II) afforded two complexes depending on the reaction time. Shorter reaction time (5 min) afforded thioether complex 10; whereas with increase in reaction time (4 h) thioether-thiolate complex 11 was obtained via c...

Apatites are a diverse class of phosphate minerals that are important in a great variety of natural and industrial processes. They are, for example, used as raw material in fertiliser production and in the remediation of metal-contaminated soils. Hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3OH, (HAP) and fluorapatite Ca5(PO4)3F, (FAP) are similar to the biological apatite that is the main constituent of mammalian b...

Siderophores, high-affinity Fe(III) ligands produced by microorganisms to facilitate iron acquisition, might contribute significantly to dissolved Fe(III) complexation in ocean surface waters. In previous work, we demonstrated the photoreactivity of the ferric ion complexes of several a-hydroxy carboxylic acid–containing siderophores produced by heterotrophic marine bacteria. Here, we expand on...

The Fe3O4@SiO2@APTMS@Glu-His@V complex was prepared with modification of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles with (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS) and glutaraldehyde-L-histidine Schiff base followed by complexation with VOSO4. Characterization of the Fe3O4@SiO2@APTMS@Glu-His@V complex was carried out by means of FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, AAS and VSM techniques. It was found that Fe3O4@SiO...

The complexation reaction between salen (Bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) and Cu(II) cations in methanol (MeOH), 2-propanol (2-PrOH), acetonitrile (AN), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and chloroform (CHCl3) as nonaqueous solvents at 25º C has been investigated. The stoichiometry and formation constants of complexes have been determined spectrophotometrically and conductometrically by method of continu...
