Synthesis, characterization, and biological activity of a fresh class of sonochemically synthesized Cu complexes.

The synthesis and characterization of metal complexes have garnered significant attention due to their versatile applications in scientific and biomedical fields. In this research, two novel copper (Cu) complexes, [Cu(L)(L')(HO)] (1) and [Cu(L)(Im)HO] (2), where L = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, L' = 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine, and Im = imidazole, were investigated concerning their sonochemical synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, and biological activity. The complexes' structural characterization was achieved using analytical techniques, including single-crystal X-ray structure determination, FTIR, PXRD, TGA and DTA, SEM, TEM, and EDS.

FeO@SiO@CSHVO as a novel recyclable heterogeneous catalyst with core-shell structure for oxidation of sulfides.

Iron nanoparticles, with low toxicity and many active sites, are among the materials that not only reduce waste along with green chemistry but also increase the separation power and recover the catalyst from the reaction environment. In this study, first, the surface of iron nanoparticles was silanized, and in the next step, the complex of chitosan HCl.VO was placed on the surface of FeO (FeO@SiO@CSHVO).

Enhancing Cisplatin Efficacy with Low Toxicity in Solid Breast Cancer Cells Using pH-Charge-Reversal Sericin-Based Nanocarriers: Development, Characterization, and Biological Assessment.

Platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents are widely employed in cancer treatment because of their effectiveness in targeting DNA. However, this indiscriminate action often affects both cancerous and normal cells, leading to severe side effects and highlighting the need for innovative approaches in achieving precise drug delivery. Nanotechnology presents a promising avenue for addressing these challenges.

FeO@BNPs@ZnO-ZnS as a novel, reusable and efficient photocatalyst for dye removal from synthetic and textile wastewaters.

In this study, new magnetic nanocomposites with different molar ratios of zinc oxide-zinc sulfide were synthesized together with photocatalysts MNPs@BNPs@ZnO and MNPs@ BNPs@ ZnS.

FeO@BNPs@SiO-SOH as a highly chemoselective heterogeneous magnetic nanocatalyst for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones.

To achieve green chemistry goals and also to reduce the cost of catalysts as well as to avoid producing toxic wastes and show the importance of separation and recycling of catalysts from the reaction medium, in this work, we describe the preparation and characterization of magnetic acidic boehmite nanoparticles as a heterogeneous catalyst, which is called FeO@BNPs@SiO-SOH. This catalyst works efficiently in the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones in the presence of HO as a green oxidant. It can easily be separated from the reaction medium by using an external magnet and it was recycled 6 times without loss of magnetic catalytic properties.
