The reaction of [(Me/BnTPEN)Ru(NCCH)] (BnTPEN = -benzyl-,,-tris(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine and MeTPEN = -methyl-,,-tris(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine) with CPBA in the presence of chloride ions in CHCN : HO generated a novel (Me/BnTPEN)Ru-OCl species at room temperature. This hypochlorite adduct could also be obtained by the direct reaction of NaOCl and HClO with (L)Ru complexes. The current study mimics the synthesis of a metal hypochlorite adduct in a similar fashion as in the heme-dependent haloperoxidase enzyme. As an electrophilic oxidant, the ruthenium hypochlorite adduct catalyzes hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of phenols and their derivatives.

We have employed a triazine-based conjugated polymer network (CPN) for the selective detection of hypochlorite in a semi-aqueous environment. CPNs have been widely employed in gas capture, separation, and adsorption, but the fluorescent properties of CPNs possessing extensive π-conjugated systems tend to be unexplored. Herein, we report the photophysical properties of the CPN and investigate its sensing capability towards hypochlorite.

Hypohalites are commonly generated in biological systems, mostly with functions related to defense and immune system response. These hypohalites can bind to metal centers and are known for their strong oxidizing properties that play crucial roles in various biological processes. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of novel biomimetic Ru(III)-hypochlorite complexes and focus the work on the electronic effects associated with the incorporation of methyl groups in a pentadentate ligand framework in an asymmetric fashion.

The reaction of aqueous suspensions of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with UV-excited sodium hypochlorite has previously been reported to be an efficient route for doping nanotubes with oxygen atoms. We have investigated how this reaction system is affected by pH level, dissolved O content, and radical scavengers and traps. Products were characterized with near-IR fluorescence, Raman, and XPS spectroscopy.

Qualitative and quantitative detection of biologically important molecules such as dopamine, thyroxine, hydrogen peroxide, and glucose, using newer and cheaper technology is of paramount importance in biology and medicine. Anion exchange in lead halide perovskites, on account of its good emission yield, facilitates the sensing of these molecules by the naked eye using ultraviolet light. Simple chemistry is used to generate chloride ions from analyte molecules.

A simple and benign continuous flow oxidation protocol for the selective conversion of primary and secondary alcohols into their respective aldehyde and ketone products is reported. This approach makes use of catalytic amounts of TEMPO in combination with sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite in a biphasic solvent system. A variety of substrates are tolerated including those containing heterocycles based on potentially sensitive nitrogen and sulfur moieties.
