Selective aerobic coupling of amines to imines using solar spectrum-responsive flower-like Nen-graphene quantum dots (GQDs) decorated with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (PH) as a photocatalyst.

Indeed, the development of ecologically benign molecular fabrication methods for highly efficient graphene quantum dots-based photocatalysts is of great significant. Graphene quantum dots-based photocatalysts have promising applications in various field, including environmental remediation, energy conversion, and splitting of water. However, ensuring resource reusability and minimizing the environmental impact are crucial considerations in the development. From this perspective, attention has also been paid to the creation of easy to make solar light harvesting graphene quantum dots-based photocatalysts for synthesising pharmaceuticals and functional imines compounds. Imines are excellent significant building blocks in pharmaceutical chemistry and excellent examples of these valuable compounds' synthetic intermediates, and the environmentally friendly oxidative synthesis of imines from amines. Therefore, herein, we designed a facile and efficient condensation route to synthesize the Nen-GQDs@PH photocatalyst. This route involves coupling of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (PH) with nitrogen-enriched graphene quantum dots (Nen-GQDs). The Nen-GQDs@PH as photocatalyst functions in a highly selective and efficient manner, leading to high amines conversion efficiency to imines (95%). Our results highlight a novel and environmentally safe approach for generating highly selective imines from various types of amines, setting a new benchmark in the current research field.

Greener One-step Synthesis of Novel In Situ Selenium-doped Framework Photocatalyst by Melem and Perylene Dianhydride for Enhanced Solar Fuel Production from CO2.

To minimize the ever-increasing global warming and environmental problems, the conversion of atmospheric CO2 into value-added solar chemicals/fuels is one of the most challenging tasks. As a means to accomplish this, herein we have synthesized first time novel in situ selenium-doped polyimide frameworks (Se-PIFs) photocatalyst via thermal co-polymerization approach between melem (M) and perylene 3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTDA) along with selenium (Se) as a dopant. The Se-PIFs photocatalyst shows outstanding photocatalytic stability and activity for high solar fuel production (HCOOH ~ formic acid) from CO2 . The solar light active Se-PIFs photocatalyst was demonstrating the ~ 10-fold higher photo-conversion of CO2 to formic acid with yields of 250. 6 µmol. The current work is providing a facile and scalable avenue as well as sheds light on creating a new route for in situ judicious design highly efficient Se-PIFs photocatalyst. The outcome is a benchmark instance for the use of selenium-doped polyimide frameworks as a highly practical and efficient solar light active photocatalyst for carrying out the selective production of formic acid from environmental CO2 .

In Situ Prepared Solar Light-Driven Flexible Actuated Carbon Cloth-Based Nanorod Photocatalyst for Selective Radical-Radical Coupling to Vinyl Sulfides.

A global challenge faced by light harvesting photocatalyst is how to promote the selective organic transformation, such as C-S bond formation via radical-radical coupling under solar light. Here, we report a two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs), poly (perylene-imide-benzoquinone) nanorod through in situ condensation on flexible activated carbon cloth (PPIBNR-FACC) to function as a light harvester material for highly selective radical-radical coupling to vinyl sulfides (i.e. C-S bond activation). Such a structure supports charge transfer from PPIBNR to FACC, which is essential for the selective radical-radical coupling. Hence, organic transformation is attaining high yields and selectivity (˜99%) under solar light using in situ prepared PPIBNR-FACC photocatalyst. The structural virtues of PPIBNR-FACC will trigger the utmost investigations into designable and versatile 2D-COFs for fine chemical synthesis.

Model for prediction of death rate due to COVID-19 transmission and required precautions.

Study has been carried out to monitor the progression of COVID-19 and prediction of deceased in a period of time. To get this parameter, three parameters related COVID-19 infected persons such as total infected, recovered and deceased persons have been covered. A Multivariate Regression Model was developed to predict the Number of Deceased Persons based on the data available for Number of Infected and Recovered Persons. On the basis of graph plots, it observed that numbers of factors are important to the transmission of corona virus and among all if temperature is an important parameter then it will be hard time for humid states especially South Asian countries.

Extremely selective "turn-on" fluorescence detection of hypochlorite confirmed by proof-of-principle neurological studies via esterase action in living cells.

Highly specific and sensitive fluorescence detection of hypochlorite in nonbiotic pure water (rapid "turn-on", ~400 fold, λ(em) ~ 560 nm) as well as in living neuronal cell cultures (neutral pH) involves oxidation of a 2-sulfide-2-benzoic acid pendent group in a new meso-thienyl-BODIPY donor-acceptor probe.

A novel, selective, and extremely responsive thienyl-based dual fluorogenic probe for tandem superoxide and Hg2+ chemosensing.

Novel, high "turn-on" Hg(2+) and O(2)(-) fluorescence behaviour (∼25-fold) with probes bearing [S(thi)N(py)] and [S(thi)N(py)N(py)] binding receptors, joined by oxidizable sulphides, may involve S-bound transient ROS species; such optical O(2)(-) behaviour operates moderately in neuroblastoma.

Novel sulphur-rich BODIPY systems that enable stepwise fluorescent O-atom turn-on and H2O2 neuronal system probing.

Bis-arylsulfide BODIPY systems were prepared and studied for multiple O-atom sensing (at 522 nm); 2- and 3-atom loading was optimal (50-fold, "turn on"). Neuronal studies showed greater H(2)O(2) sensitivity than 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate. The novel 1,3,6-trimethyl BODIPY formed as a biproduct under Lindsey conditions.

Bis-(methane-sulfonato-κO)(5,10,15,20-tetra-phenyl-porphyrinato-κ(4)N,N',N'',N''')tin(IV) chloro-form tris-olvate.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C(44)H(28)N(4))(CH(3)O(3)S)(2)]·3CHCl(3), the Sn(IV) ion is located on an inversion center and is octa-hedrally coordinated. The porphyrin N atoms occupy the equatorial positions while the axial positions are occupied by the O atoms of the methane-sulfonate anions. The phenyl rings make dihedral angles of 77.02 (13) and 87.89 (14)° with the porphyrin ring. Of the three solvent chloro-form mol-ecules, one is disordered over a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal a three-dimensional assembly is accomplished via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the H atoms of the phenyl groups in the porphyrin ring and the O atoms of the methane-sulfonate ligands.

The tert-butyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.661 (13):0.339 (13) ratio.
