New chitosan Schiff base (CS-NB) and its CS-NB-NiFe nanocomposite have been prepared and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, SEM and DSC. FT-IR spectra and XRD patterns revealed the preparation of chitosan Schiff base CS-NB and its CS-NB-NiFe nanocomposite. DSC demonstrated the endo and exothermic correspondence the evaporation of solvent and decomposition of pyranose ring, respectively. Antibacterial activities was evaluated for the as-prepared compounds against two Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) and two Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria and the results shows that the antibacterial activities of the compounds are found to be stronger than that of chitosan. The order of antibacterial effect according to inhibitory zone around is as follows: S. aureus > E. coli > B. cereus > P. aeruginosa. In addition, the removal of methyl green (MG) dye using CS-NB and its CS-NB-NiFe nanocomposite were analyzed and results showed that the compounds can be effectively used to remove of MG from aqueous solution. Results show that the percentage removal of MG by nanocomposite is higher than Schiff base.

As naturally essential biomacromolecule, HSA has become diagnostic indicators for various diseases and universal carriers for anticancer drug delivery, therefore, fluorescence detection and labeling for HSA possess significant application value in the biomedical field. In this paper, hydrazide Schiff base fluorescent probe NDQC was designed and synthesized, which self-assembled into nanoparticles in aqueous solution system and demonstrated excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards HSA. Through displacement assay and molecular docking simulation, the binding of NDQC with HSA in FA1 site was demonstrated, thereby no obvious fluorescence signal presented for homologous protein BSA due to their structural differences in binding site.

In their + V and + VI oxidation states, actinide elements (U, Np, and Pu) are commonly encountered in characteristic linear dioxo structures, known as actinyl ions (AnO; An = U, Np, Pu, = 1, 2). A systematic understanding of the structural and redox behavior of AnO/AnO complexes is expected to provide valuable information for controlling the behavior of An elements in natural environments and in nuclear fuel cycles while enabling the development of spintronics and new reactivities that utilize the anisotropic spin of the 5f electrons. However, systematic trends in the behavior of AnO/AnO complexes remain poorly understood.

Coacervates have garnered significant attention as potential drug carriers. However, the instability resulting from their intrinsic membrane-free nature restricts the application of coacervates in drug delivery. Herein, the engineering of poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles (PEG NPs) is reported using coacervates composed of PEG and polyphenols as the templates, where PEG is subsequently cross-linked based on different chemistries (e.

The signal intensity ratio (SIR) is a crucial factor in advancing probe technology due to its direct impact on sensitivity and precision, particularly in applications such as medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and food safety testing. However, the development of high-SIR probes is challenged by complexities in fabrication, cost, and mechanical stability. In this study, we address these limitations by investigating the role of halogen atom substitutions in modulating the intermolecular binding energy and aggregation behavior of Ce-Salen Schiff base complexes.

Using CO as the C1 source for N-formylation of amine is a crucial energy-storage pathway to address the greenhouse effect while generating high-value-added chemicals but is limited by the activation of inert molecules. Herein, a dual active site catalyst with high CO activation and dihydrogen dissociation capacity was fabricated by incorporating a Schiff base and Au nanoparticles (NPs) on silicon dioxide (SiO). The modification of the Schiff base not only provides an alkaline environment for CO absorption but also stabilizes Au NPs in a small and highly dispersed state, which regulates the electronic density of the metal for excellent H cleavage.
