    String of vanadium (IV), zirconium (IV), palladium (II), platinum (IV) and uranium (VI) chelates of 2‐cyano‐2‐[(2‐nitrophenyl)hydrazono]thioacetamide (Cnphta) were prepared and characterized by physicochemical, spectroscopic and thermal analyses. The formulae of the isolated solid complexes were assigned as [VO(Cnphta)2(H2O)]SO4 ⋅ 5H2O (1), [ZrO(Cnphta)2(H2O)]Cl2 ⋅ 4H2O (2), [Pd(Cnphta)2]Cl2 (3), [Pt(Cnphta)2Cl2]Cl2 (4) and [UO2(Cnphta)2](NO3)2 ⋅ 5H2O (5). The infrared assignments clearly showed that Cnphta ligand coordinated as a bidentate feature through the hydrazono nitrogen and the thioacetamide nitrogen for V(IV), Zr(IV) and U(VI) but displayed different behavior for Pd(II) and Pt(IV). Results of the molar conductivities measurements showed that the metal complexes were electrolytes in contrast with Cnphta ligand. The interpretation, mathematical analysis and evaluation of kinetic parameters were also carried out. In addition, the studied ligand and its new chelates were tested for their antimicrobial activity against some human or phytopathogenic microorganisms. The new metal complexes explicated promising antibacterial activity against all tested bacteria especially Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Regarding the antifungal activity, all metal complexes were able to inhibit the mycelium growth of both tested pathogenic fungi. In particular Zr(IV) and Pt(IV) complexes showed the highest significant fungicidal effect against A. fumigatus similar to positive control.

    Abstract Two series of tetrazole derivatives of the type N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1-(aryl)methanimine (101–106) and 1-(4-alkoxyphenyl)-N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methanimine (107–111) were synthesized and characterized via conventional tools of analysis (elemental analysis, FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy). These two synthesized series were biologically evaluated for their potentials against some microbial biofilm causing strains (micro bio-foulants). Biological activities were evaluated by MIC values and cell viability percentages of them. In case of compounds (107–111), 107 was the most potent antimicrobial one, where its MIC values were 10.666667 µg/ml; 12.82222 µg/ml and 21.43666 µg/ml for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans respectively, whereas compound 106, (of group 101–106), MIC values were 16 µg/ml for all the tested microorganisms. Viability assay showed that 107 activity percentages were 96.99456%, 92.32886% and 89.09558% against Gm +ve bacteria, Gm −ve bacteria and yeast respectively, whereas 106 activity percentages were 95.255569%, 90.204675% and 86.710956% against Gm +ve bacteria, Gm −ve bacteria and yeast respectively. Two antimicrobial mode of actions were proposed and discussed depending on the two evaluated tetrazole groups.

    The synthesis and characterization of Mn (II), Fe (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II) complexes with 3‐(bromoacetyl)coumarin (BAC) in presence of 1,10‐phenanthroline (Phen) were reported and described by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT‐IR, UV–Vis and effective magnetic moments. TG and DTG have been applied to study the decomposition mechanisms for BAC, Phen and their complexes. The analytical results and spectral studies showed that BAC and Phen act as bidentate ligands via oxygen of α, β‐unsaturated ketone and oxygen of lactone carbonyl of coumarin and two pyridyl nitrogen atoms of Phen. Octahedral geometries have been proposed for all complexes and the kinetic parameter (E*, ΔH*, ΔS* and ΔG*) were calculated using Coats‐Redfern (CR) and Horowitz‐Metzeger (HM) methods. DFT calculations (bond lengths, bond angles, total energy, heat of formation, dipole moment and the lowest energy model structures) have been determined. The antibacterial activities for synthesize...

    Abstract In the present study newly developed potentiometric sensors for determination of zinc(II) are presented. The proposed potentiometric method was based on the fabrication of modified carbon paste (MCPE; electrode X) and modified gold nanoparticles-carbon paste (GNPs-CPE; electrode IX) sensors. A mercapto compound of 1,4-bis(5-mercaptopentyloxy)-benzene (BMPB) alone or self-assembled on gold nanoparticles was used as modifier to construct electrode (X) and electrode (IX) sensors, respectively. The prepared electrodes exhibit Nernstian slope of 29.93 ± 0.4 and 26.0 ± 1.02 mV decade −1 towards Zn(II) ion over a wide concentration range of 6.8 × 10 −10 to 2.9 × 10 −2 and 1.0 × 10 −7 to 1.0 × 10 −2  mol L −1 for electrode (IX) and electrode (X) sensors, respectively. The limit of detection of the electrode (IX) and electrode (X) sensors was found to be 6.8 × 10 −10 and 1.0 × 10 −7  mol L −1 , respectively. The potentiometric response of the electrode (IX) and electrode (X) based on GNPs-BMPB and BMPB are independent of pH of test solution in the pH range of 2.5–8.1 and 3–7 with a response time of 6 and 8 s for electrode (IX) and electrode (X) sensors, respectively. The proposed sensors showed fairly good discriminating ability towards Zn(II) ion in comparison with many hard and soft metal ions. Finally, the proposed electrodes were successfully used as indicator electrodes in potentiometric titration of zinc ion with sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB) and in direct determination of Zn(II) ion in some water samples. The results obtained compared well with those obtained using atomic absorption spectrometry.

    ABSTRACT Here in, the nanostructure of dithiol surfactants were synthesized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The nanostructure of these surfactants was investigated using FTIR, UV, XRD, and TEM techniques. The surfactants under investigation show good ability for assembling on AuNPs. The alkyl chain length shows strong effect on the stabilization of the nanostructure of these surfactants. The detection of Ni2+ and Zn2+ ions in water solution was investigated using UV spectrophotometer. The data show that the sensitivity of the nanostructure of surfactants towards the detection of Ni2+ and Zn2+ ions is more than that of the individual surfactants.

    In this work, we synthesized amino thiol surfactants, namely, 10-(4-aminophenoxy)-decane- 1-thiol and 12-(4-aminophenoxy)-dodecane-1-thiol. The self-assembling of the synthesized surfactants on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was investigated using different techniques such as ultraviolet analysis, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The synthesized surfactants show the ability to assemble on gold nanoparticles and form stable nanostructure with it. We used the synthesized surfactants and their nanostructures with gold nanoparticles for the detection of Zn and Ni ions in aqueous solution using the ultraviolet spectrophotometer technique. The synthesized amino thiol surfactants showed the ability to detect Zn and Ni ions at low concentration. The results showed that gold nanoparticles can enhance the detection of Zn and Ni ions using the nanostructures of the synthesized surfactants.

    ABSTRACT Methylierte Phenylreste in Hexaaryldistannanen führen dann zur reversiblen thermischen Dissoziation R3Sn–SnR3 (1) ⇋ 2 R3Sn. (2), wenn mindestens die 2,6-Positionen methyliert sind. Weitere Methylgruppen erleichtern dies nur, wenn sie benachbart dazu und untereinander stehen, also einen „Stütz-Effekt” ausüben. In Abhängigkeit dazu sinkt DSn–Sn (51.5→38.5 kcal/mol). ESR-Daten und Geometrie von 2 werden angegeben, ebenso der aus dem jeweiligen Hydrid R3SnH gewonnenen Stannylradikale 2 mit R = PhmMenCCH2 (m + n = 3). Bei diesen wird mit steigendem m die Rotation um die CSn-Bindung gehindert. Die bevorzugte Konformation folgt aus ESR-Daten. Zahlreiche Verbindungen 1, R3SnH sowie weitere Vorprodukte werden erstmals dargestellt.Sterically Hindered Free Radicals, IX. Generation and Structure of Stannyl Radicals R3Sn˙ with Bulky GroupsMethylated phenyl groups in hexaaryldistannanes cause reversible thermal dissociation R3SnSnR3 (1) ⇋ 2 R3Sn˙ (2) only if at least the 2,6-positions are methylated. Further methyl groups enhance this dissociation only when neighbouring these positions and each other, thus causing a “buttressing effect”. So, DSnSn is decreased (51.5 → 38.5 kcal/mol). ESR data and geometry of 2 are reported, as well as those of stannyl radicals 2, R = PhmMenCCH2 (m + n = 3) generated from the corresponding hydrides. The rotation around CSn bonds is hindered with increasing m. A preferred conformation is concluded from ESR data. Numerous compounds 1, R3SnH, and other precursors are prepared for the first time.

    ABSTRACT The synthesis of novel bulky tris[dimethyl(ethyl/benzyl/p-tolyl/α-naphthyl)silylmethyl]stannanes (1–4) is described. Alkylation of SnCl4 with Me2(ethyl/p-tolyl)SiCH2MgBr (10–11) gave mainly the triorganotin chlorides [(Me2(ethyl/p-tolyl)SiCH2)]3SnCl 14 and 15, which were isolated by silica gel chromatography. Reduction of 14 and 15 with LiAlH4 in THF gave the corresponding triorganotin hydrides 1 and 2, respectively. [Me2(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH2]3SnCl 16 and 17, generated by the alkylation of SnCl4 with Me2(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH2MgBr 12 and 13, were inseparable from the minor product [Me2(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH2]2SnCl218 and 19, respectively. Treatment of the mixtures of 16/18 and 17/19 with NaOH furnished the corresponding mixtures of stannoxanes, from which the hexakisdistannoxanes [Me2(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH2]6Sn2O 20 and 22 were isolated from the minor dialkyltin oxide derivatives [Me2(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH2]2SnO in good yields. Reduction of 20 and 22 with BH3 in THF gave [Me2(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH2]3SnH (3 and 4), respectively in good yields. 1H, 13C, 119Sn, 29Si NMR characteristics of the newly synthesized compounds are included.
