Abstract In this work, the degradation of chloranilic acid (CAA) by chemical oxidation with H 2 O alone and in presence ferrous iron Fe 2+ catalyst was investigated order to improve our understanding on novel metal-independent approach. The interesting efficient hydroxyl radicals (OH) production using halogenated quinones has been currently demonstrated. results clearly confirmed formation OH f...

Molecular catalysts for H 2 -evolution are of interest their integration into light-harvesting complexes photocatalytic water splitting. Here, we report the meso-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphine [(TCPP)Pt II ] complex as a molecular -evolving photocatalyst using chloranilic acid (CA) sacrificial electron donor, choice which is critical to stability photocatalyst. When triethanolamine was used, ...

A series of four novel mixed-ligand complexes of copper(II) with 3,6-dichloro-2,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranilic acid) and 1,10-phenanthroline was prepared and characterised by X-ray structure analysis and IR spectroscopy. Three complexes exhibit square-pyramidal coordination, whereas one exhibits octahedral coordination. The ligand 1,10-phenanthroline acts in a bidentate chelating mod...
