The feasibility of kaolinite used as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions was investigated. During the removal process, batch technique was used, and the effects of heavy metal concentration and contact time on adsorption efficiency at pH of 4.5, under a constant temperature of 20?1 ?C were studied. The experimental results were analyzed using...

The reaction of MgBu2, ZnEt2 or Ca(O(i)Pr)2 with 2 eq. of three-coordinating N-[methyl(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)]-N-methyl-N-methyl-1,3-oxolaneamine (mpoa-H) or N-[methyl(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)]-N-methyl-N-methyl-1,3-oxolaneamine (tbpoa-H) gave neutral, monomeric [Mg(mpoa)2], [Zn(mpoa)2], [Zn(tbpoa)2], and [Ca(tbpoa)2] as white powders in 58-90% yields. The resulting aminophenol...

The title complex, [Zn(3)(C(2)H(3)O(2))(6)(C(9)H(8)ClN(3))(2)], contains three Zn(II) atoms bridged by six acetate ligands. The central Zn(II) ion, located on an inversion centre, is surrounded by six O atoms from acetate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry [Zn-O = 1.9588 (12)-2.1237 (12) Å]. The terminal Zn(II) ions are coordinated by one N atom of 2-amino-7-chloro-5-methyl-1,8-naphthy...

New M(II) bis(thiosemicarbazonato) complexes (M = Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)) featuring allyl groups at the exocyclic nitrogens have been synthesised. The complexes were characterised in solution by spectroscopic methods and their solid state structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. The Zn(II) complex was found to be intrinsically fluorescent and sol...

Center line slope (CLS) analysis in 2D infrared spectroscopy has been extensively used to extract frequency-frequency correlation functions of vibrational transitions. We apply this concept to 2D electronic spectroscopy, where CLS is a measure of electronic gap fluctuations. The two domains, infrared and electronic, possess differences: In the infrared, the frequency fluctuations are classical,...

Ordered thin films based on alternate assembly of zinc phthalocyanine complex and layered double hydroxide monolayers have been fabricated, which exhibit multiple quantum well structure and well-defined polarized luminescence.

several novel mononuclear zn(ii) complexes, [zn(bpy)l2], where bpy=2,2’-bipyridine and l=monoanions of phenylcyanamide (pcyd), 4-methylphenylcyanamide (4-mepcyd), 3,5-dimethylphenylcyanamide(3,5-me2pcyd),4-methoxyphenylcyanamide(4-meopcyd), 3,5-dimeth-oxyphenylcyanamide (3,5-meo2pcyd), 3-chlorophenylcyanamide (3-clpcyd), 2,3-dichlorophenyl-cyanamide (2,3-cl2pcyd), 4-bromophenylcyanamide (4-brpc...

Free-standing, ZnO surface decorated Cu nanoparticles of 1-3 nm size were obtained by sequential co-pyrolysis of [Cu(OCHMeCH2NMe2)2] and ZnEt2 in squalane in the absence of additional surfactants and proved to be highly active quasi homogeneous catalysts for methanol synthesis from CO and H2.

A new simple and reliable method for rapid and selective extraction and determination of trace levels of Zn(II) ion is developed. Zn(II) ions are adsorbed quantitatively during passage of aqueous samples through PET-AA/AAm nano fiber modified. Almost all matrix elements were found to pass through the nano fiber to drain. Modified Poly (ethylene terephthalate)-grafted-Acrylic acid/Acryl amide Na...
