The nature of metal complexes of heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones reported in the literature through 1989 have been reviewed with an emphasis on variations in stoichiometry and stereochemistry. A brief introduction is followed by a survey of the biological activity of the uncomplexed thiosemicarbazones. Next is a section on the chemical nature of thiosemicarbazones including a discussion of preparative methods, modes of coordination and isomerism. This is followed by a discussion of structural information and biological activity of the iron(III), iron(II), copper(II), cobalt(III), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones. Short sections on the biological activity of other chelating thiosemicarbazones and metal complexes are also included.

Structural and physical correlations in the biological properties of transition metal heterocyclic thiosemicarbazone and S -alkyldithiocarbazate complexes

Titanium oxide (TiO2 ) has been commonly used as an electron transport layer (ETL) of regular-structure perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and so far the reported PSC devices with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) over 21% are mostly based on mesoporous structures containing an indispensable mesoporous TiO2 layer. However, a high temperature annealing (over 450 °C) treatment is mandatory, which is incompatible with low-cost fabrication and flexible devices. Herein, a facile one-step, low-temperature, nonhydrolytic approach to in situ synthesizing amino-functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles (abbreviated as NH2 -TiO2 NPs) is developed by chemical bonding of amino (-NH2 ) groups, via TiN bonds, onto the surface of TiO2 NPs. NH2 -TiO2 NPs are then incorporated as an efficient ETL in n-i-p planar heterojunction (PHJ) PSCs, affording PCE over 21%. Cs0.05 FA0.83 MA0.12 PbI2.55 Br0.45 (abbreviated as CsFAMA) PHJ PSC devices based on NH2 -TiO2 ETL exhibit the best PCE of 21.33%, which is significantly higher than that of the devices based on the pristine TiO2 ETL (19.82%) and is close to the record PCE for devices with similar structures and fabrication procedures. Besides, due to the passivation of the surface trap states of perovskite film, the hysteresis of current-voltage response is significantly suppressed, and the ambient stability of devices is improved upon amino functionalization.

Low-Temperature In Situ Amino Functionalization of TiO2 Nanoparticles Sharpens Electron Management Achieving over 21% Efficient Planar Perovskite Solar Cells.

As one of the most toxic heavy metals, mercury ion (Hg 2+ ) has become a concern focus for its severe threats to environment and human health. As a result, it is of great importance to develop novel methods to realize the recognition and quantification of Hg 2+ . The past decades witness the development of nanomaterial-based optical sensors for Hg 2+ detection, showing the benefits of simplicity, rapidity, high sensitivity and selectivity, and cost-effectiveness. The reported methods have allowed the detectability down to nanomolar concentrations or much lower levels, and proved their practical applications for detecting and quantifying Hg 2+ in synthetic solutions or natural water samples. In this review, we summarize the published innovations in nanomaterial-based optical sensors for the detection of Hg 2+ according to different sensing strategies, including colorimetric, fluorescent and surface enhanced Raman scattering detection. Moreover, some challenges and significant attempts related to these methods are also discussed.

The macrocycles 2,10-dimethyl-3,4,8,9,15-pentaazabicyclo-[9.3.1]-pentadeca-1 (15),2,9,11,13-penta-ene-5,7-dione (L) and 2,11-dimethyl-3,4,8,9,10,16-pentaazabicyclo[10.3.1]-hexadeca-1 (16),2,10,12,14-penta-ene-5,8-dione (L′) were prepared and characterized by elemental, i.r. and mass spectral data. The macrocycles react with various metal(II) chlorides to yield complexes of the types [MLCl2H2O] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu or Zn), [ML′Cl2H2O] (M = Mn, Ni, Cu or Zn) and [Co3L′2Cl4]Cl2. The complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods.

Bivalent 3d-metal complexes of malonyl- and succinyldihydrazide based macrocyclic ligands. Synthesis and characterization

Synthesis, characterization, and magnetic properties of a new series of dinuclear compounds MIIM′IIL2(H2O)4 (where MII, M′II = Mn (1), Ni (2), Cu (3) and MII = Cu, M′II = Co (4), Ni (5); LH2 = 2,5-bis(4-carboxyphenylamino)-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone) are reported. These complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, FAB mass spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, spectroscopic techniques (infrared, NMR, UV-Vis), and powder XRD studies. Magnetic properties investigated by SQUID magnetometer show antiferromagnetic coupling between the metal centers connected by the extensive π-delocalized ligand. Magnetic coupling constants (J) ranging from −1.01 to −3.01 cm−1 based on the Hamiltonian H = −2JS i S j have been obtained. The optimized geometry of the ligand derived from DFT is also reported.

A novel unsymmetrical tetradentate azine, 2-acetyl-pyridinesalicylaldazine (Haps), was prepared by condensing salicylhydrazone with 2-acetylpyridine, and was characterized by elemental analysis and its i.r. spectrum. This ligand reacted with Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn acetates to yield deprotonated M(aps)2(H2O)2 complexes. Subsequent reaction of the mononuclear unit Zn(aps)2(H2O)2 with MCl2 gave homo- [ZnCl2Zn(aps)2(H2O)2] and heterobinuclear [MCl2Zn(aps)2(H2O)2] type azine-bridged complexes, which were characterized by analytical, molecular weight, conductivity (solid and solution), magnetic susceptibility, and electronic, e.s.r. and i.r. spectroscopies, and X-ray powder diffraction data.
