the heterogeneous photo-fenton degradation of crystal violet under visible light has been investigated usingcopper modified iron oxide. the photocatalyst has been prepared by coprecipitation method. the rate ofphotocatalyic degradation of dye was monitored spectrophotometrically. it has been observed thatphotocatalytic degradation follows pseudo first order kinetics. the effect of various param...

The zinc(II) complex [Zn2(dmdtc)2(μ-dmdtc)2] has been synthesized directly from thiram ligand, containing a disulfide bond {dmdtc = N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate; thiram = N,N-tetramethylthiuram disulfide}, and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. Surprisingly thiram, undergoes a reductive disulfide bond scission upon reaction with Zn2+ in methanolic media to give the [Z...

nano-sized titanium dioxide tio2 powder was successfully prepared from its precursor titanium (iv) chloride by a simple and new wet chemical method. ticl4 were used as precursor in hydrogen peroxide, h2o2 and ethanol. this solution was then peptized using nitric acid and heated under reflux at 80°c. their physico-chemical properties were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy (t...

in the crystal structure of the title polymeric compound, [c42h38n6o33sr5.2(h2o)]n, five independent metal atoms (sr1-sr5) have different coordination environments. the sr1 and sr5 atoms are nine coordinated and feature distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic and capped square-antiprismatic geometries, respectively. the rest srii atoms have eight coordination numbers. these units are connected v...
