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.

Investigation of coordination properties of isolated adenine to copper metal: a systematic spectroscopic and DFT study.

The present study is focused on the development of green microwave process for the synthesis of mesogenic substituted aroylhydrazones and their structure–mesophase relationship study. Two new liquid crystalline series of disubstituted aroylhydrazones with (ABB(OH)H-n) and without lateral hydroxyl group (ABBH-n) (n = 6–16) have been synthesised by microwave-assisted methods. The compounds were structurally characterised by using suitable spectroscopic techniques. The mesomorphic properties of the series of aroylhydrazones were examined using differential scanning calorimetric analysis and polarising optical microscopy. The relationship between structure and mesogenic properties was analysed by comparison of the present series and earlier reports on homostructural series of aroylhydrazones. Thus, the effects of substitution of phenyl rings with ester and ether linking group at both terminals and introduction of hydroxyl group at lateral position on stability of mesophase and their width were investigated.

2-Aminoacetophenone-2-thenoylhydrazone, Haath, C4H3SC(O)NHN=C(Me)C6H4NH2-o, forms complexes with metal(II) salts of empirical compositions [VO(Haath)2SO4], [M(Haath)2Cl2] [M=CoII, NiII, CuII or ZnII] and [M(aath)2] [M=VIVO, CoII, NiII, CuII or ZnII] which have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, electronic, e.s.r., i.r. and n.m.r. (1H and13C) spectral studies. X-ray and electron diffraction patterns have been obtained in order to elucidate the structure of the CuII complexes. Photoacoustic spectra of powder NiII complexes have been recorded and interpreted in the light of u.v./vis. spectra.

These complexes have been characterized employing elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, electronic and IR spectral studies. The different modes of chelation of the ligand and the stereochemistry of the complexes are discussed.
