BACKGROUND Transesterification catalyzed by solid base catalyst is a brilliant technology for the noble process featuring the fast reaction under mild reacting condition in biodiesel production. Heterogeneous base catalysts are generally more reactive than solid acid catalysts which require extreme operating condition for high conversion and biodiesel yield. In the present study, synthesis of b...

Diazacrown ethers having two carbodithioate groups were synthesized, and their spectrophotometric properties were studied. Diammonium 1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacycrooctadecane-N,N'-bis(carbodithioate) (DA18CC) and ammonium 1,4,10-trioxa-7,13-diazacycropentadecane-N,N'-bis(carbodithioate) (DA15CC) reacted with most heavy-metal ions through their two carbodithioate groups, and also reacted wit...

A number of new binuclear complexes have been synthesised by interaction of stable Ni(II) and Cu(II) metal chelates of p-Methylisonitroacetosophenone with Alkaline earth metal salts having general formula[Ma(p-MeINAP)2MbL2 or MbX2]where Ma=Ni(II) or Cu(II),p-MeINAP = deprotonated pMethyiIsonitrosoacetophenone, Mb= Ca ++ or Mg ++ ,L = deprotonated ortho amino benzoic acid and 8hydroxyquinoline X...

Three new alkaline earth metal based MOFs have been synthesized by using 4,4'-sulfobisbenzoic acid (SBBA) and alkaline earth metal salts M(NO(3))(2), M = Ca, Sr, Ba. These MOFs exhibit interesting structural diversity, variable chemical stability as well as proton conductivity.

In the present study we have synthesized new binuclear complexes of alkali and alkaline earth metal salts with interaction of stable metal chelates of isonitrosopropiophenone of Ni(II) & Cu(II) having general formula [Ma(INPP)2.MbL] and [Ma(INPP)2.MbX] for alkali metal adducts and [ Ma(INPP)2.MbL2] and [ Ma(INPP)2.MbX2] for alkaline earth metal adducts where Ma=Ni (II) or Cu(II) and Mb =Li+ , N...

Oxygen is one of the most important products in chemical industries. This chemical element is used in various processes such as: refinery industries, manufacturing metal and other industrial operations. For instance, oxygen with high purity is utilized in different chemical processes like: steel construction, paper industries, wastewater treatment and glass production. In 1907, oxygen was produ...

A proton NMR method for the determination of the solvation numbers of alkaline earth cations with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in nitromethane as diluent is described. The method is based on the monitoring of the resonance frequency of DMSO protons as a function of DMSO to metal ion mole ratio while keeping the metal ion concentration constant. The average solvation number of cations at any...
