Medicinal attributes of 1,2,3-triazoles: Current developments

Along with the development of industry and the improvement of people’s living standards, peoples’ demand on resources has greatly increased, causing energy crises and environmental pollution. In recent years, photocatalytic technology has shown great potential as a low-cost, environmentally-friendly, and sustainable technology, and it has become a hot research topic. However, current photocatalytic technology cannot meet industrial requirements. The biggest challenge in the industrialization of photocatalyst technology is the development of an ideal photocatalyst, which should possess four features, including a high photocatalytic efficiency, a large specific surface area, a full utilization of sunlight, and recyclability. In this review, starting from the photocatalytic reaction mechanism and the preparation of the photocatalyst, we review the classification of current photocatalysts and the methods for improving photocatalytic performance; we also further discuss the potential industrial usage of photocatalytic technology. This review also aims to provide basic and comprehensive information on the industrialization of photocatalysis technology.

A review on recent advances in photodegradation of dyes using doped and heterojunction based semiconductor metal sulfide nanostructures for environmental protection

New homoleptic complexes bis(N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-butyldithiocarbamato-S,S′)nickel(II) (1), bis(N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-furfuryldithiocarbamato-S,S′)nickel(II) (2) and bis(N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-cyclopropyldithiocarbamato-S,S′)nickel(II) (3) and heteroleptic complexes (N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-butyldithiocarbamato-S,S′)(thiocyanato-N)(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II) (4), (N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-furfuryldithiocarbamato-S,S′)(thiocyanato-N)(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II) (5) and (N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-cyclopropyldithiocarbamato-S,S′)(thiocyanato-N)(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II) (6) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H, 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC and UV-Vis absorption spectra. For the heteroleptic complexes, the thiocyanide νC–N values were shifted to higher wavenumbers and NCS2 carbon signals were shifted downfield compared to that of homoleptic complexes, suggesting the increased strength of the thioureide bond due to the presence of π-accepting phosphine. Electronic spectral studies suggest square-planar geometry for the complexes. Complex 5 was also characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques and presents a distorted NiS2PN square planar configuration around the Ni atom. Rare C–H⋯Ni intramolecular short contact interactions were observed in the complex 5. The ability of representative complexes 1 and 2 to sense anions (F−, Cl−, Br− and I−) was examined by UV-Vis absorption spectra and cyclic voltametric titration studies. These studies show that both the complexes prefer to bind with I−. Complex 2 has been used as a single source precursor for the preparation of nickel sulfide and nickel oxide nanoparticles. The as-prepared nickel sulfide and nickel oxide nanoparticles have been characterized by PXRD, SEM, EDAX, TEM, HRTEM, UV-Vis and Photoluminescence spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the presence of three phases (cubic-NiS2, cubic-Ni3S4 and rhombohedral-Ni3S2). TEM images of nickel oxide revealed that the particles are spherical in shape with diameter ∼30 nm.
