ABSTRACT

This study highlights the recent advancements in organic electronic materials and their potential for cost-effective optoelectronic devices. The investigation focuses on the molecular design, synthesis, and comprehensive analysis of two organic dyes, aiming to explore their suitability for optoelectronic applications. The dyes are strategically constructed with carbazole as the foundational structure, connecting two electron-withdrawing groups: barbituric acid (Cz-BA) and thiobarbituric acid (Cz-TBA). These dyes, featuring carbazole as the core and electron-withdrawing groups, demonstrate promising spectral, optical, electrochemical, thermal, and theoretical properties. They show strong potential for diverse optoelectronic applications, promising efficient light absorption and robust stability. The results endorse their suitability for practical optoelectronic systems.

ABSTRACT

The focus of this study revolves around the synthesis of AZ31 metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using the powder metallurgy technique. Various compositions of CNTs were incorporated into the AZ31 alloy matrix. The sintered specimens were analysed using microstructural characterization and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Furthermore, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were conducted to investigate the impact of sintering on the processed composites. Corrosion studies were performed in a sodium chloride (NaCl) medium, and Tafel curves were plotted to assess corrosion behaviour. It was observed that composites enriched with 0.5 wt.% CNTs demonstrated the highest level of corrosion resistance among the synthesized AZ31 metal specimens.

ABSTRACT

Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) anacardic acid was used, for the first time, as a green and natural effective catalyst for the synthesis of a quinoline based amino acid Schiff base ligand from the condensation of 2-hydroxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde with l-tryptophan via solvent-free simple physical grinding technique. The use of the nontoxic CNSL natural catalyst has many benefits over toxic reagents and the desired product was obtained in high yield in a short reaction time. The procedure employed is simple and does not involve column chromatography. Moreover, a series of metal(II) complexes (metal = iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II)) supported by the synthesized new quinoline based amino acid Schiff base ligand (L) has been designed and the compositions of the metal(II) complexes were examined by various analytical techniques. The findings imply that the 2-hydroxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde amino acid Schiff base (L) serves as a dibasic tridentate ONO ligand and synchronizes with the metal(II) in octahedral geometry in accordance with the general formula [M(LH)2]. Molecular docking study of the metal(II) complexes with B-DNA dodecamer has revealed good binding energy. The conductivity parameters in DMSO suggest the existence of nonelectrolyte species. The interaction of these metal complexes with CT-DNA has shown strong binding via an intercalative mode with a different pattern of DNA binding, while UV-visible photo-induced molecular cleavage analysis against plasmid DNA using agarose gel electrophoresis has revealed that the metal complexes exhibit photo induced nuclease activity.

ABSTRACT

Contemporary research reveals an undemanding protocol for the catalytic synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazole-quinolinepeptide in the incidence of a cost-effective and reusable mesoporous ZrO2-supported Cu2O (Cu2ZrO3) catalyst. This paper depicts a unique system for peptide bond synthesis staying away from toxic solvents and reactants. The catalyst was reused for four cycles without noteworthy loss in the activity, and the catalyst was genuinely heterogeneous. The method followed a simple workup procedure, and no column chromatography was needed. Further, the synthesized 1,2,4-oxadiazole-quinolinepeptide ligand (L), and its complexes of type, [FeLCl2] and [CuL]Cl2 were synthesized and characterized by spectral and analytical techniques. An octahedral geometry has been projected for Fe(II) complexes, while the Cu(II) complex exhibits a square planar geometry. The binding properties of the complexes with CT-DNA were studied by absorption spectral analysis, followed by viscosity measurement and thermal denaturation studies. The photo-induced cleavage studies revealed that the complexes possess photonuclease activity against pUC19 DNA under UV-visible irradiation.

ABSTRACT

We report the synthesis of new photonuclease consisting of two Co(II)/Cu(II) complexes of macrocyclic fused quinoline. Metal complexes are [MLX(2)], type where M = Co(II) (5), Cu(II) (6), and X = Cl, and are well characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, (1)H-NMR and electronic spectra. We have shown that photocleavage of plasmid DNA is markedly enhanced when this ligand is irradiated in the presence of Cu(II), and more so than that of cobalt. The chemistry of ternary and binary Co(II) complexes showing efficient light induced (360 nm) DNA cleavage activity is summarized. The role of the metal in photoinduced DNA cleavage reactions is explored by designing complex molecules having macrocyclic structure. The mechanistic pathways are found to be concentration dependent on Co(II)/Cu(II) complexes and the photoexcitation energy photoredox chemistry. Highly effective DNA cleavage ability of 6 is attributed to the effective cooperation of the metal moiety.

ABSTRACT

The use of nanostructured TiO(2) as mixed phase photocatalyst in the synthesis of 2H-pyrano/2H-thiopyrano [2,3-b]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid (2a/2b) is described. The binding modes of 2a/2b with ds DNA fragments d(CGCGAATTCGCG) were predicted by molecular docking studies. The lowest energy was found in the compound 2b with a binding energy of -7.44 Kcal/mol and inhibition constant of 5.39 x e(-6). The interaction study with CT DNA was carried out by absorption spectra, (K(b) constant obtained for 2a is 3.5x10(6) and for 2b it is 2.9x10(5)), viscosity and thermal denaturation methods. The in vitro antioxidant activities were evaluated. Finally, the results showed that the intercalated 2a/2b compounds are strong antioxidants and they protect oxidative DNA damage from harmful free radicals.
