With the increasing emphasis on sustainable manufacturing practices, eco-friendly lubricants have gained significant attention to moderate the friction coefficient at the tool-work interface. In line with this, the contemporary study aimed to examine the viability of Alumina-enriched sunflower bio-oil as a metalworking fluid. Different volume fractions of Alumina nanoparticles (varying from 0 to 1 vol%) were mixed with sunflower bio-oil, and the physical properties, for instance, contact angle and dynamic viscosity, were analyzed to determine the optimal concentration of Alumina.

The reactions of with 2,6-XylNC (2,6-Xyl = 2,6-MeCH) and 4-DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine) gave a neutral complex and an ionic complex , respectively. Molecular structures of 12 complexes were unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The two different products obtained in the aforementioned reactions are ascribed to the subtle differences in the N substituent of the guanidinate(1-) ligands in and .

The salt metathesis reaction of with 1 equiv of AgTFA in CHCl at room temperature (RT) afforded [Pt{κ(,)}(TFA){κ (ArN=C(NHAr))}] () in 94% yield. The reaction of -[Pt(TFA)(DMSO)] with 1 equiv of [ArN=C(NHAr)] in toluene under reflux condition for 8 h afforded six-membered cycloplatinated guanidines, [Pt{κ(,)}(TFA)(DMSO)] [Ar = 2-MeCH (), 4-MeCH (), 2,4-MeCH (), and 2-(MeO)CH ()], in ≥73% yields.
