This special issue is about two-dimensional transitionmetal dichalcogenides (2DTMDs), a family of materials consisting of over 40 compounds with the generalized formula of MX2, where M is a transition metal typically from groups 4–7, and X is a chalcogen such as S, Se or Te. Bulk TMDs have been widely studied over several decades because it is possible to formulate compounds with disparate elec...

Computational studies have attracted the attention of researchers to understand the structural behavior of the molecules. These methods grade complex systems for novel properties with new predictions in areas of physics, chemistry and biology useful for conduct of experimental studies. Nanoparticles in present day technologies have become integral part in diverse areas of science mostly with me...

Using UV-VIS spectrophotometric method, the formation constant for interaction of Fe2+(aq) ion with L-Alaninewas experimentally studied at pH = 4.1 ± 0.01 (50mM of potassium hydrogen phthalate buffer), ionic strengthof 0.1M potassium nitrate and at 5 different temperatures 15,20, 25,30 and 35 T. The optical absorption spectraof mixtures containing considered cation and L-Alanine were analyzed b...

Transition metal complexes have emerged as promising candidates for applications in solid-state electroluminescent devices. These materials serve as multifunctional chromophores, into which electrons and holes can be injected, migrate and recombine to produce light emission. Their device characteristics are dominated by the presence of mobile ions that redistribute under an applied field and as...

Nanocellulose was successfully prepared from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) via nickel salt-catalyzed hydrolysis under mild reaction conditions of 45 °C for 15 min. The mild acid nickel salt-catalyzed hydrolysis was able to selectively depolymerize the amorphous regions of cellulose and retain its crystalline region, thus improving the crystallinity of the treated product at the nanoscale up ...

Hydrogen has a very diverse chemistry and reacts with most other elements to form compounds, which have fascinating structures, compositions and properties. Complex metal hydrides are a rapidly expanding class of materials, approaching multi-functionality, in particular within the energy storage field. This review illustrates that complex metal hydrides may store hydrogen in the solid state, ac...

Introduction: The chemistry of metal complexes derived from heterocyclic compounds has attracted considerable interest due to the broad range of pharmacological activities of such compounds. The important pathogens such as Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus are wildly caused many diseases. So antibacterial activity of Zn (Ⅱ), Ni (Ⅱ), Co (Ⅱ) and Cu (Ⅱ) chromone complexes against two kin...

An important challenge in the artificial fixation of N2 is to find atom efficient transformations that yield value-added products. Here we explore the coordination complex mediated conversion of ubiquitous species, CO and N2, into isocyanate. We have conceptually split the process into three steps: (1) the six-electron splitting of dinitrogen into terminal metal nitrido ligands, (2) the reducti...
