The Study of Impedance and Conductivity of New Modified Polystyrene Used as an Effective Adsorbent of Ba(II) Ions.

In the research described here we prepared a novel, modified polystyrene (PS) with iminoether as the complexing agent for Ba . Most heavy metals cause environmental, atmospheric pollution. They cause consequence for humans health and aquatic life due to their toxicity.

A New Zn(II) Metal Hybrid Material of 5-Nitrobenzimidazolium Organic Cation (CHNO)[ZnCl]: Elaboration, Structure, Hirshfeld Surface, Spectroscopic, Molecular Docking Analysis, Electric and Dielectric Properties.

The slow solvent evaporation approach was used to create a single crystal of (CHNO)[ZnCl] at room temperature. Our compound has been investigated by single-crystal XRD which declares that the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystallographic system with the 2/ as a space group. The molecular arrangement of the compound can be described by slightly distorted tetrahedral ZnCl anionic entities and 5-nitrobenzimidazolium as cations, linked together by different non-covalent interaction types (H-bonds, Cl…Cl, π…π and C-H…π).

Novel static magnetic field effects on green chemistry biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The bacteriocidal properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) depend on their average diameter (toxicity increases with decreasing diameter). In the present work, we describe novel green chemistry biosynthesis of AgNPs from AgNO added to cell-free culture medium of baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yielding nanoparticles in the range 11-25 nm. However, when yeast was grown in a moderate static magnetic field, AgNPs obtained from the resulting cell-free culture medium, were significantly smaller (2-12 nm) than those obtained without magnetic field.
