Recently, the degradation of antibiotics has attracted a lot of attention all over the world, because the accumulation of these recalcitrant compounds in the environment, and their entry into the food chain have severely affected on human health. Herein, oxygen vacancy-rich CeO was decorated with CuBiS nanoparticles to fabricate Z-scheme CeO/CuBiS photocatalysts with a simple procedure. Intriguingly, photocatalytic ability of CeO/CuBiS (30%) nanocomposite in the detoxification of tetracycline hydrochloride, cephalexin, azithromycin, and rhodamine B was elevated 31.

COVID-19, a pandemic of acute respiratory syndrome diseases, led to significant social, economic, psychological, and public health impacts. It was not only uncontrolled but caused serious problems at the outbreak time. Physical contact and airborne transmission are the main routes of transmission for bioaerosols such as SARS-CoV-2.

We report, for the first time, a detailed crystallographic study of the supramolecular arrangement for a set of zinc(II) Schiff base complexes containing the ligand 2,6-bis((E)-((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)imino)methyl)-4-R-phenol], where R=methyl/tert-butyl/chloro. The supramolecular study acts as a pre-screening tool for selecting the compartmental ligand R of the Schiff base for effective binding with a targeted protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA). The most stable hexagonal arrangement of the complex [Zn-Me] (R=Me) stabilises the ligand with the highest FMO energy gap (ΔE=4.
