Microwave synthesis, spectroscopy, thermal analysis and crystal structure of an one-dimensional polymeric {[Cu(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)3(SO4)] · 2H2O}n complex

A metal organic-inorganic coordination framework formulated as {[Cu(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)₃(SO₄)] · 2H₂O}_n (1) (where 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) has been successfully prepared by microwave synthesis. The title complex has been characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography, FT-IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Complex (1) is an one-dimensional (1D) polymer in which 4,4′-bipy acts as a bridging ligand supporting the formation of infinite [Cu(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)₃(SO₄)] chains. The packing diagram shows that a 3D network is formed via hydrogen bonds. The infrared spectra and thermographic data are consistent with the chemical formula.     

Characterization and evaluation of methyl methacrylate-acetylated Saccharum spontaneum L. graft copolymers prepared under microwave

Hybridization of the natural polymers with synthetic polymers is of great interest because of its application to biomedical and biodegradable materials. Synthesis of graft copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto acetylated Saccharum spontaneum L. fiber using ferrous ammonium sulphate–potassium per sulphate (FAS–KPS) redox initiator under the influence of microwave radiation (MWR) was carried-out. Different reaction parameters such as time, initiator molar ratio, monomer concentration, microwave power, pH and solvent were optimized to get maximum graft yield (72.2%). On grafting, percentage crystallinity decreases rapidly with reduction in its stiffness and hardness. The graft copolymers thus formed were characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA, DTA and DTG techniques. Moreover, graft copolymers have been found to be more moisture resistant and also showed higher chemical and thermal resistance.     

Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Plasmonic Bimetallic Nanoparticles

The importance of plasmonic nanoparticles in sensor development, imaging, photodiagnostics, and optoelectronics has resulted in a strong interest toward the development of straightforward synthetic methods for their preparation. In this article, we review some of the most significant advances that have been made in the synthesis of plasmonic bimetallic nanoparticles. Approaches to control morphology, with an emphasis on reactions that produce uniform particles with well-defined sizes and shapes and in high yields, are described. In addition, several characterization techniques that have been employed to elucidate the morphology of the particles are illustrated.     

Green route for the heterocyclization of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole into beta-lactum segment derivatives containing -CONH- bridge with benzimidazole: Screening in vitro antimicrobial activity with various microorganisms

The efficient and rapid synthesis of novel azetidin-2-ones 4a–j has been established. Thus, both microwave and conventional condensation 2-{(1H-benzimidazol)-ylthio}-N′-2-(substituted phenyl) hydrazide with chloroacetylchloride were carried out in DMF-benzene solvent in the presence of Et₃N catalyst. The microwave synthesis route afforded better yield with short time. The novel heterocycles were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral features. Some of the produced compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity.     

Green microwave-assisted synthesis of cellulose/calcium silicate nanocomposites in ionic liquids and recycled ionic liquids

Fabrication of biomass materials by a microwave-assisted method in ionic liquids allows the high value-added applications of biomass by combining three major green chemistry principles: using environmentally preferable solvents, using an environmentally friendly method, and making use of renewable biomass materials. Herein, we report a rapid and green microwave-assisted method for the synthesis of the cellulose/calcium silicate nanocomposites in ionic liquids and recycled ionic liquids. These calcium silicate nanoparticles or nanosheets as prepared were homogeneously dispersed in the cellulose matrix. The experimental results confirm that the ionic liquids can be used repeatedly. Of course, the slight differences were also observed using ionic liquids and recycled ionic liquids. Compared with other conventional methods, the rapid, green, and environmentally friendly microwave-assisted method in ionic liquids opens a new window to the high value-added applications of biomass.     

Synthesis of water-soluble multidentate aminoalcohol β-cyclodextrin derivatives via epoxide opening

New highly soluble β-aminoalcohol β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) derivatives have been synthesized via nucleophilic epoxide opening reactions with mono-6-amino mono-6-deoxy-permethyl-β-CD and mono-6-amino mono-6-deoxy-β-CD. The binding properties of the β-CD were enhanced by linking aminoalcohol subunits which caused its solubility to improve markedly. The reaction conditions were optimised using microwave irradiation giving moderate-to-good yields with a series of epoxides. A regioselective epoxide opening reaction was observed in the reaction with styrene oxide while the stereoselectivity was strictly dependent on substrate structure.
