Hexachloroosmate(IV) effectively catalyzes the photodecomposition of chloroform in aerated solutions. The decomposition products are consistent with a mechanism in which excited state OsCl(6)(2-) reduces chloroform, rather than one involving photodissociation of chlorine atoms. Trace amounts of ethanol or water in the chloroform lead to photosubstitution to form OsCl(5)(EtOH)(-) or OsCl(5)(H(2)O)(-), neither of which is photocatalytically active.

Acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) molecular rotors have drawn substantial attention for their applications in monitoring temperature variations within cellular microenvironments, biomimetic photocatalysis, and bioimaging. In this study, we have synthesized two novel rotor molecules, NBN1 and NBN2, by incorporating benzodithiophene (BDT) as the donor core and naphthalic anhydride/naphthalimide (NA/NI) moieties as acceptors using Pd-catalyzed Stille coupling reactions. These molecules exhibited distinct charge transfer (CT) behavior in both their absorption and emission spectra and displayed prominent emission solvatochromism.

Traditional membranes are inefficient in treating highly toxic organic pollutants and oily wastewater in harsh environments, which is difficult to meet the growing demand for green development. Herein, the Co(OH)@stearic acid nanocellulose-based membrane was prepared by depositing Co(OH) on the nanocellulose-based membrane (NBM) through chemical soaking method, which enables efficient oil/water mixtures separation and degradation of pollutants by photocatalysis in harsh environments. The Co(OH)@stearic acid nanocellulose-based membrane (Co(OH)@stearic acid NBM) shows good photocatalytic degradation performance for methylene blue pollutants in harsh environment, and has significant degradation rate (93.

Rhenium(I) complexes of type [Re(CO)(NN)Cl] (NN = α-diimine) with MLCT absorption in the orange-red region of the visible spectrum have been synthesized and fully characterized, including single crystal X-ray diffraction on two complexes. The strong bathochromic shift of MLCT absorption was achieved through extension of the π-system of the electron-poor bidiazine ligand 4,4'-bipyrimidine by the addition of fused phenyl rings, resulting in 4,4'-biquinazoline. Furthermore, upon anionic cyclization of the twisted bidiazine, a new 4N-doped perylene ligand, namely, 1,3,10,12-tetraazaperylene, was obtained.

Solar heterogeneous photocatalysis was used to remove trihalomethanes (THMs) from drinking water. THMs, mainly trichloromethane (TCM), tribromomethane (TBM), bromodichloromethane (BDCM) and dibromochloromethane (DBCM) are one of the main class of disinfection by-products (DBPs). THMs were determined by HSGC-MS with detection limits (LODs) ranging from 0.

As the presence of antibiotics in environmental waters enhances antimicrobial resistance, photolysis and heterogeneous photocatalysis of chloramphenicol (CAP) were evaluated in deionized water (DW) and in sewage treatment plant (STP) effluent under black light and solar irradiation. Processes were compared in terms of CAP degradation, reaction kinetics, and electrical energy per order, as well as regarding theoretical toxicity, biodegradability, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity of transformation products (TPs). Rate constants obtained under photolysis (0.
