The Inclusion of Organometallic Derivatives of Cyclotriphosphazenes Inside SiO2 Matrix and Their Conversion to Nanostructured Metal-Oxides and Phosphates

Abstract  
Organometallic derivatives of the cyclotriphosphazene N3P3[OC6H4CH2CN·TiClCp2]6 (1), N3P3(O6H5)5[OC6H4N·W(CO)5] (2), N3P3[OC6H4CH2CN·Mo(CO)5]6 (3), [N3P3(O6H5)5(OC5H4N·CpRu(PPh3)2)][PF6] (4), [N3P3(O2C12H8)2OC5H4N·Ag(PPh3)][OSO2CF3] (5), N3P3[OC6H5]5 [OC5H4N·Cu][PF6] (6) and N3P3[OC6H4CH2CN·CuCl]6[PF6]6 (7),were incorporated inside SiO2 through the sol–gel method. The metal–organic nanocomposites of the general formula N3P3[OC6H4CH2CN·TiClCp2]6·nSiO2 (G 1 ), N3P3[OC6H4N·W(CO)5nSiO2 (G 2 ), N3P3[OC6H4CH2CN·Mo(CO)5]6·nSiO2 (G 3 ), N3P3(O6H5)5OC5H4N·CpRu(PPh3)2][PF6nSiO2 (G 4 ), [N3P3(O2C12H8)2OC5H4N·Ag(PPh3)][OSO2CF3nSiO2 (G 5 ), N3P3[OC6H5]5[OC5H4N·Cu][PF6]·(SiO2) n (G 6 ), and N3P3[OC6H4CH2CN·CuCl]6[PF6]6·(SiO2) n (G 7 ), were characterized by IR spectroscopy; 12C, 31 P and 29Si MAS NMR measurements as well as UV–Visible diffuse reflectance spectra, indicating the presence of the respective organometallic derivatives of the cyclotriphosphazene incorporated into SiO2. Pyrolysis of these nanocomposites under air at 800 °C gives rise to nanostructured metal-oxides and metal phosphates incorporated into amorphous SiO2, with the presence in some cases of complexes phase mixtures. From some precursors, we obtained metal-oxides/phosphates nanoparticles separated from the SiO2 nanoparticles instead the oxides/phosphates nanoparticles inside the SiO2 matrix. Additionally and for comparison purposes, we used the compound N3P3[NH(CH2)3Si(OEt)3]6 as gelator. Nanocomposites (G? 1 ), (G? 2 ) and (G? 3 ) exhibited mainly morphological differences while in some cases composition differences when using TEOS as gelator. Some simple metal-containing compounds as (O3SCF3)Ag(PPh3)(HOC5H4N), [CuCl2·NC5H4OH] and [CuCl2·NCCH2C6H4OH]—which are useful models of the most complexes (G 5 ), (G 6 ) and (G 7 ) were also prepared and incorporated in amorphous silica. Their pyrolytic products were compared with those of more complex cyclotriphosphazene analogous. Interestingly, the pyrolysis of the nanocomposite [(O3SCF3)Ag(PPh3)(HOC5H4N)][SiO2] n affords the firstly-reported materials containing Ag2O along with SiO2 nanoparticles.

Improving the Degree of Functionalization and Solubility of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes via Covalent Multiple Functionalization

Abstract  
The synthesis of covalent multi-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) via the combination of two diazonium salt addition reactions with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide to form carbon nanotube salts was carried out. The formation of carbon nanotube salts allows SWNT to be easily dissolved in common solvents, which increases the processing capability of the SWNT. The dissolutions of some of the obtained products can be increased three-fold through multi-functionalization. Thus tetrabutylammonium cation plays an extraordinarily important role; i.e., balancing the charges on the functionalized SWNT surface and de-bundling of the functionalized SWNT. This approach provides a useful way of preparing some SWNT-containing biomaterials. The multi-functionalized SWNT were confirmed by standard techniques used for carbon nanotube characterization.

Microwave Synthesis and Characterization of Spinel-type Zinc Aluminate Nanoparticles

Abstract  
In the present work, ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles have been synthesized with the aid of Zn(OAc)2·2H2O and Al(NO3)3·9H2O as starting reagents in the presence of microwave irradiation. Besides, the effect of preparation parameters such as microwave power and irradiation time on the morphology and particle size of products was studied by SEM images. The as-prepared ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles were characterized extensively by techniques like XRD, TEM, SEM, FT-IR, PL, and EDS. Photoluminescence studies of the ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles displayed quantum confinement behavior with band gap of 3.2 eV. The XRD studies showed that pure orthorhombic ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles have been produced after calcination.

A New 3D Silver(I) Coordination Polymer with Octadentate Diglycolate Ligand Having Silver–Silver Bond

Abstract  
Reaction of diglycolic acid (dgaH2) and silver nitrate under ultrasonic condition forms a 3D supramolecular complex of composition [Ag4(dga)2] n (1) (dgaH2 = diglycolic acid). The structure of the complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural study reveals that two types of Ag(I) centers are present. Short silver–silver bond is present in the compound. It is observed that the 2D layers formed by silver(I) and dga2? ions interact further to form an overall 3D network. A new octadentate coordination mode of diglycolate ligand is identified. Photoluminescent and thermogravimetric characterization of the complex have been done.
Graphical Abstract

Two Lanthanide-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks with Flexible Alicyclic Carboxylate Ligands: Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Near-Infrared Luminescence Property

Abstract  
Two lanthanide-based metal–organic frameworks with flexible alicyclic carboxylate ligands, generally formulated as [Sm(TMG)(HTMG)(H2O)] (1) and [Nd2(CHDC)3(H2O)] (2), have been successfully synthesized and characterized. They represent the first example of lanthanide-TMG and lanthanide-CHDC systems. Their structures range from 1D infinite chains to 2D extended layer structure. Complexes 2 exhibit strong fluorescent emissions in the near-infrared region at room temperature. Interestingly, the structural difference between compounds 1 and 2 indicates the pH values have subtle influence on the coordination modes of ligands and dimension of LMOFs.

Supramolecular Structures Constructed by Connection of One-Dimensional Polymer Chains Through the Dimeric Water Clusters in Coordination Polymers of Pyromellitate Ligand

Abstract  
Three mixed-ligand coordination polymers [Cu(H2pm)(na)2(H2O)2] n ·4nH2O (1), [Ni(H2pm)(pa)2] n ·4nH2O (2), [Co(H2pm)(pa)2] n ·4nH2O (3) (H2pm = dianion of pyromellitic acid, na = nicotinamide, pa = picolinamide) were investigated mainly from the point of supramolecular architecture in their respective crystal packings. The structural properties of 13 were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. In all complexes, the metal centers are bridged by pyromellitate ligands to form 1D polymer chains of 2,2-TT type. However, these chains propagate in a different way as linear or zig-zag fashions. The polymer chains are connected by N–H···O hydrogen bonds to form sheet structures which include dimeric water clusters. The complexes have different supramolecular networks with respect to the behavior of dimeric water clusters between the sheet structures. The FT-IR investigation of the complexes was performed within the mid-IR region, mainly focusing on the characteristic vibrations of pyromellitic acid, nicotinamide and picolinamide moieties by considering their free states and ligand behaviours in the case of complex formation. The magnetic properties of 13 were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. EPR studies of 1 and 2 show that the paramagnetic centers have axially symmetric g values and unpaired electrons are dominantly in
dx2 - y2
ground state. The magnetic susceptibility results indicate possible antiferromagnetic (1 and 2) and ferromagnetic (3) couplings mediated by the carboxylate bridges between the metal centers.
Graphical Abstract  
The adjacent supramolecular sheets are linked by dimeric water clusters.

Growth of the Dysprosium–Barium–Copper Oxide Superconductor Nanoclusters in Biopolymer Gels

Abstract  
Clusters of DyBa2Cu3O7?y high TC type II nanosuperconductor were prepared by sol–gel method in the presence of biopolymer chitosan. At the first step, the precursor and biopolymer were aggregated into amorphous matrix and then hydrogels were formed by thermogelling. Nucleation and growth of discrete nanoparticles is controlled by the biopolymer gel owing to retention of the fibrous nature of the chitosan at high temperatures up to 500 °C. After heating to 900 °C and complete decomposition of BaCO3, nanoparticles of DyBa2Cu3O7?y superconductor with diameter of 10–20 nm in the form of nanoclusters are prepared. Critical temperature (Tc) of the nanoparticles was found to be above 83 K. Characterizations of specimens were performed using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, supported by other techniques including XRD diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray, FT-IR spectrum and magnetic susceptibility measurements.

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Fluorescent Properties of Two New d10 Metal Coordination Polymers with Two Mixed Flexible Ligands

Abstract  
Two complexes, [Zn(qda)(bpp)] n (1) and {[Cd(qda)(bpp)2]·2H2O} n (2), (H2qda = hydroquinone-O,O?-diacetic acid, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane), were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, FTIR and elemental analysis. Both compounds exhibit two-dimensional structures. The qda anions in compound 1 adopt two different trans conformations, coordinating to Zn2+ ions in a monodentate fashion, while in compound 2 they adopt only one trans conformation yet keeping the same coordination fashion as in compound 1. The bpp molecules show same anti-gauche coordination conformation in both 1 and 2. In addition, photoluminescence for 1 and 2 has been investigated in the solid state at room temperature.

Electron Beam Synthesis and Characterization of Poly Vinyl Alcohol/Poly Acrylic Acid Embedded Ni and Ag Nanoparticles

Abstract  
Electron beam irradiation was applied to prepare poly (vinyl alcohol) and poly (acrylic acid) P (PVA/AAc) containing nickel and silver nanoparticles. The prepared P (PVA/AAc)–Ni and P (PVA/AAc)–Ag nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared, UV–Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The electrical conductivity and thermal gravimetrical analysis (TGA) have been investigated. Bacterial sensitivity toward nickel and silver nanoparticles was studied. The XRD and TEM confirmed that by increasing the Ni or Ag contents from 10 to 150 mmol in the copolymers, the metal particle size increases from 27.6 to 45.6 nm for Ni and from 14.8 to 37.4 nm for Ag. Meanwhile, the mean size particle increases from 33.02 to 45.05 nm for Ni and from 15.5 to 44.03 nm for Ag. The electrical conductivity of the polymer containing Ag is higher than that of Ni and it increased by increasing the metal content. The TGA studies confirmed that, the thermal stability increase by the introduction of metal into polymeric complex. Bacterial sensitivity to metal nanoparticles was found to vary depending on the microbial species. Disc diffusion studies with P. aeruginosa, E. coli and K. pneumoniae revealed greater effectiveness of the silver nanoparticles compared to the nickel nanoparticles, S. aureus depicted the highest sensitivity to nanoparticles compared to the other strains and was more adversely affected by the nickel nanoparticles.

On the Role of Tin Catalysts in Step-Growth Polymerization Reactions

Abstract  
Organotin compounds have been used to catalyze the condensation of various ?,?-dihydroxyl terminated organosiloxane diols. This tin catalyzed reaction extends the length of siloxane chains and it also produces narrow molar mass distribution polyorganodisilanols (Mw/Mn = 1.4). The reaction occurs between a variety of siloxanes that are terminated with hydroxyl groups and it does not depend on the organic side groups connected to silicon for the systems studied here. These systems include silicon atoms bearing dimethyl, methylphenyl or methyl 1,1,1 trifluoropropyl substituents. The organotin catalyst in the reaction facilitates the organosilanol condensation releasing water as a byproduct. However it does not appear to facilitate the opening of siloxane bonds nor the redistribution of siloxane bonds under the conditions employed here. Copolymerization of linear oligomeric dimethylsiloxane diol and linear oligomeric methylphenylsiloxanediol was found to give a relatively equal reactivity of homo polymerization and hetro polymerization in the condensation and randomly alternating segmented block copolymers that were formed. The reaction kinetics of the polymerization was used to experimentally verify the fact that there is a chain length dependence of the reacting silanol end-groups. The molar mass values during the polymerizations were determined using gel permeation chromatography. The chromatography, viscosity and FTIR results demonstrate that the reactivity of the hydroxyl end-groups in the polycondensation reaction decreases upon increasing the chain length of the siloxane. It therefore appears that these tin catalyzed siloxane systems deviate from the widely demonstrated hypothesis of Paul Flory on the “equal reactivity of functional groups” for step-growth polymerizations.

The preparation of micro hexagonal-rods of a new 1D polymeric lead(II) complex containing the Pb2-(?-N3)2 motif, [Pb(dmp)(N3)2] n (dmp is the abbreviation of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) by the sonochemical method is described. The new microcrystal is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analyses and infrared spectroscopy. A single crystalline material is obtained by applying a heat gradient applied to a solution of the reagents. The single-crystal XRD analyses show that the coordination number for the Pb(II) ions is six, PbN6, with “stereo-chemically active” electron lone pairs and the coordination sphere being hemidirected. The single-crystal X-ray data show the chains of [Pb(dmp)(N3)2] n interact with each other through the ?–? stacking interactions, which create a 3D framework.

Direct Synthesis of CdO Nanoparticles from a Novel Nano-Rods Cadmium(II) 4,4-Difluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionate Nano Coordination Compound

Abstract  
A novel nano-rods cadmium(II) fluorine-substituted ?-diketonate, [Cd(2,2?-bpy)(dfpb)2] (1), (2,2?-bpy = 2,2?-bipyridine; dfpb = 4,4-difluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butandion) has been synthesized by a sonochemical method that produces the coordination compound with nano dimensions. The new nanostructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Compound 1 was structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The single-crystal structure of this complex shows that the coordination number of the CdII ions is six with two N-donor atoms from the 2,2?-bpy ligand and four O-donors from two dfpb. Self-assembly of the complex occurs through CH···F–C and ?–? stacking interactions. The supramolecular features of 1 are controlled by weak directional intermolecular interactions. CdO nanoparticles were obtained by thermolysis of 1 at 180 °C with oleic acid as a surfactant. The average diameter of the nanoparticles was estimated by the Scherrer equation to be 20 nm. The morphology and size of the CdO samples were further observed using SEM.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Pb(phen)(?-N3)(?-NO3)]n and Its Thermal Decomposition to PbO Nanoparticles

Abstract  
Nano rods of a new 1D polymeric lead(II) complex containing the Pb2-(?-N3)2 motif, [Pb(phen)(?-N3)(?-NO3)]n (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), has been synthesized by a sonochemical method. The new nano-structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy. A single crystalline material was obtained by applying a heat gradient to a solution of reagents. The single crystal X-ray data showed the coordination number of the Pb2+ ions to be eight (PbN4O4), with the Pb2+ ions having “stereo-chemically active” electron lone pairs; the coordination sphere was hemidirected. The chains of [Pb(phen)(?-N3)(?-NO3)]n interact with each other via ?–? interactions to create a 3D framework. PbO nanoparticles were obtained by thermolysis of 1 at 180 °C with oleic acid as a surfactant. The average diameter of the nanoparticles was estimated to be 33 nm by the Scherrer equation. The morphology and size of the prepared PbO samples were further observed using SEM.

Sonochemical Synthesis and Characterization of A Nano-Rod Lead(II) Supramolecular, Three Dimensional Coordination Compound: New Precursor to Produce Pure Phase Nano-Sized Lead(II) Oxide

Abstract  
Nanorods of a lead(II) supramolecular three-dimensional (3D) coordination compound, [Pb(tfpb)2]n (1) (Htfpb = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione), was prepared by the sonochemical method. The new nano-structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy. A single-crystal structure of the compound showed that the coordination number of Pb(II) is eight with six O-donor atoms from the tfpb ligand and two F-donors from anionic ligands. The 3D supramolecular structure of 1 is realized by weak directional C–F···F–C and ?–? stacking interactions. After calcination of nano-sized 1 at 500 °C, pure phase nano-sized lead(II) oxide is produced.

Metal Complexes of a Novel Terpolymer Ligand: Synthesis, Spectral, Morphology, Thermal Degradation Kinetics and Antimicrobial Screening

Abstract  
2-amino-6-nitro-benzothiazole and thiosemicarbazide with formaldehyde (BTF) terpolymer ligand and its metal complexes have been synthesized. The plausible structure of the synthesized BTF terpolymer ligand was elucidated on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral studies such as FTIR, UV-Vis, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used to determine the molecular weight of the terpolymer. The terpolymer metal complexes were analyzed by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurements, and magnetic susceptibilities. The structure and geometry of the metal complexes were confirmed by various spectral techniques viz. electronic, ESR, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. The morphology of the BTF terpolymer ligand and its metal complexes was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the terpolymer ligand and its complexes was determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Freeman–Carroll (FC), Sharp–Wentworth (SW) and Phadnis–Deshpande (PD) methods were used to calculate the thermal activation energy (Ea), order of reaction (n), entropy change (?S), free energy change (?F), apparent entropy (S*) and frequency factor (Z) from the TGA data. Phadnis–Deshpande method was also used to propose the thermal degradation model for the decomposition pattern of the terpolymer ligand. The terpolymer ligand and its metal complexes were screened for its antimicrobial activity against chosen microbes.

Synthesis, Structure, Cytotoxic Activities and DNA-Binding Properties of a 1D Copper(II) Complex Bridged both by Oxamidate and Terephthalato Groups

Abstract  
A new one-dimensional copper(II) polymer with formula of [Cu2(heae)(tpa)]n·nH2O, where heae2? and tpa2? stand for the dianions of N,N?-bis(N-hydroxyethylaminoethyl)oxamide and terephthalic acid, respectively, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurement, IR and electronic spectral studies, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure consists of a one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymeric chain constructed by the [Cu2(heae)]2+ cations as the inorganic second building units (SBUs) and the tpa2? anions as linkers. The Cu···Cu separations through the bridges of heae2? and tpa2? are 5.2472(6) and 10.9677(8) Å, respectively. Both the copper(II) ions have square pyramidal coordination geometries. A three-dimensional hydrogen bonding network is observed in the crystal. The measured molar conductivity suggests that the polymer may stay intact in solution as the 1D polymer in the crystal. The cytotoxicities of the polymeric copper(II) complex were tested by Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell SMMC-7721 and human lung adenocarcinoma cell A549. The polymer exhibits potent cytotoxic effects against the two cell lines. The binding properties of the copper(II) polymer with herring sperm DNA (HS-DNA) have been investigated by using UV absorption and fluorescence spectra and electrochemical techniques and viscosity. The results show that the copper(II) polymer interacts with HS-DNA in the mode of intercalation with the intrinsic binding constant of 1.07 × 104 M?1.

Surface Treated Montmorillonite: Structural and Thermal Properties of Chiral Poly(Amide-Imide)/Organoclay Bionanocomposites Containing Natural Amino Acids

Abstract  
This work concerns the preparation of novel optically active nanocomposite materials derived from Cloisite Na+ clay, which has been functionalized by protonated l-methionine amino acid as a swelling agent for sufficient compatibilization with the poly(amide-imide) (PAI) matrix. The polymer chains were formed from the polycondensation reaction of N,N?-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-phenylalanine diacid chloride with 4,4?-diaminodiphenylether. Interaction between the two phases was established by modifying the PAI chains with amine end groups and free acid groups of the organoclay (OC). The effect of OC dispersion and the interaction between OC and PAI chains on the properties of resulting bionanocomposite material was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. The XRD pattern and morphological investigation revealed the formation of intercalated and exfoliated OC platelets in the matrix. Because of the existence of naturally occurring amino acids as biological chiral resources, it is predictable that these materials may be potentially biodegradable and biocompatible.

Polymeric Co-Conjugates of Curcumin

Abstract  
The current cancer chemotherapy often results in high toxicity, drug resistance and some other side effects. Multidrug chemotherapy has been found to reduce the side effects associated with the currently used chemotherapy. In this research, we have demonstrated the polymer-drug co-conjugation by incorporating two bioactive agents that is, curcumin and an analogue of ferrocene (both are anticancer agents) to a polymer by a hydrazone linker. The conjugates prepared were characterized by NMR spectroscopy.

Ion Exchange Kinetics of Heavy Metal Ions on Organic–Inorganic Composite Cation Exchanger Poly-o-toluidine Zr(IV) Tungstate

Abstract  
To study the ion exchange kinetics of heavy metal ions on the organic–inorganic composite cation exchanger poly-o-toluidine Zr(IV) tungstate, Nernst–Planck was computer simulated. Simulated numerical results for counter ions (Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) of equal valence and four different ionic mobilities are presented to understand the ionic diffusion process. These results are based on the fractional attainment of equilibrium U(?), of the counter ions under study. The forward (M2+–H+) and reverse (H+–M2+) ion exchange processes are justified as the particle diffusion phenomenon. The self-diffusion coefficient (D o ), energy of activation (E a ), and entropy of activation (∆S*) have also been estimated to understand the ion exchange process occurring over the surface of this cation exchanger and indicated that the ion exchange process is feasible and spontaneous. It is concluded that the difference in activation energies and entropy of activation may facilitate the separation of metal ions. The regeneration capability of this cation exchanger was also explained.

Synthesized of Sporopollenin-Immobilized Schiff Bases and Their Vanadium(IV) Sorption Studies

Abstract  
This study investigated the potential use of a biologic polymer Lycopodium clavatum spores (Sporopollenin) for removal of vanadium ions (V(IV)) from aqueous solution. Three Schiff base derivative compounds immobilized sporopollenin were prepared and characterized. Immobilized sporopollenin was characterized via a scanning electron microscope, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis techniques. The sorption capacities of the immobilized surfaces toward V(IV) ions were investigated by batch sorption experiments. V(IV) concentration, initial pH and the temperature effects were studied. The isotherm data of V(IV) ions were correlated reasonably well both Langmuir, Freundlich sorption isotherm. The thermodynamic studies showed that the V(IV) sorption onto immobilized sporopollenin derivatives is a spontaneous, endothermic and a chemical reaction.

Efficient Allylic Oxidation of Olefins Catalyzed by Polymer Supported Metal Schiff Base Complexes with Peroxides

Abstract  
Three homogeneous Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes of a Schiff base ligand and their heterogeneous complexes supported on poly(4-aminostyrene) were prepared and characterized by using elemental analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytic performance of both homogeneous and heterogeneous complexes was evaluated in the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexene, styrene and trans-stilbene in acetonitrile with tert-butylhydroperoxide or hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. All types of catalyst were active in oxidation; and, the complexes produce allylic oxidation products in all cases. Immobilized complexes are slightly more active than their homogeneous complexes. The polymer-supported Cu(II) complex shows a higher catalytic activity than the other metal species. The activities of the immobilized catalysts remained nearly the same after five cycles, suggesting the true heterogeneous nature of the catalyst.

This paper is a review the polyoxometalate-based composite materials, including polyoxometalate incorporated Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett, layer-by-layer multilayers and novel honeycomb films, self-assembly structures of modified polyoxometalate complexes (e.g., onion-like structures, new inorganic–organic–inorganic vesicles, thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystalline structures, gels), and amino acid- and protein-polyoxometalate nanorods and nanoparticles. Polyoxometalate-embedded layer-by-layer multilayer films show electrocatalytic or photochemical activity; and, novel photoluminescent honeycomb films templated by microwater droplets are reviewed. Inorganic–organic–inorganic hybrid vesicles display the potential as nano-switches. In addition, amino acid- and protein-polyoxometalate composite nanostructures indicate potential antimicrobial applications. Therefore, the polyoxometalate-based composite materials have promising applications in electrochemistry, photochemistry and biomedicine.

Complexes Containing N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine with Tetracyanometallate (II): Synthesis, IR Spectra, Thermal Behavior, Crystal Structure, Magnetic Properties and Catalysis

Abstract  
Two novel cyano-bridged Ni2+ and Cu2+ compounds, {[M2+(hydeten)2(?-CN)2Ni(CN)2] n , M2+ = Ni2+ (c1) and Cu2+ (c2), N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine (hydeten), were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermoanalytical measurements. The one-dimensional polymeric structure of c2, which was determined by X-ray diffraction techniques, was formed with a 2,2-TT-type chain, –Cu(hydeten)2-NC-Ni(CN)2-CN-Cu(hydeten)2-, linkages. Also, while the EPR spectra and magnetic properties of complexes c1 and c2 with [Ni(hydeten)2Pd(CN)4] (c3) and [Cu(hydeten)2Pd(CN)4] (c4) [Karada?, Z Kristallogr 222:39, 2007] were investigated, the catalytic activity of c3 and c4 was studied. The EPR spectra of c2 and c4 showed that Cu2+ was located in tetragonal distorted octahedral sites (D 4h ) and the ground state of the paramagnetic electron was
d x2 - y2
. The magnetic behavior exhibited weak antiferromagnetic interactions in all the complexes. Also, the catalytic properties of c3 and c4, which were assigned with Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions, showed that they did not have catalytic effects.

Development of Nanostructured Poly (o-toluidine) Reinforced Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Composites

Abstract  
The present work reports the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured poly (o-toluidine) (POT) reinforced epoxy-siloxane (ES) composite resins. The structural elucidation was carried out using FT-IR and UV–visible spectrometry. The FT-IR analysis confirmed the interaction between NH group of the POT and the OH group of ES via strong hydrogen bonding. The UV–visible spectra of POT/ES composites revealed a blue shift of 100 nm in the polaronic transition peak observed at 600 nm in pristine POT, which was attributed to the restriction in the delocalization of polarons in the POT chains due to electrostatic interaction via hydrogen bonding. The nanosize of POT and its dispersion in the ES matrix was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy studies. The particle size was found from 15–35 nm. The morphological studies confirmed the formation of a nanocomposite where POT appeared to act as reinforcing agent in the ES matrix. XRD showed the semi-crystalline nature of POT/ES nanocomposites. The conductivities of POT and its nanocomposites were 10?3–10?4 S/cm at 30 °C. The thermal stability increased with an increase in the loading of POT in ES. The nanocomposites revealed good physico-chemical and physico-mechanical characteristics, which suggests their potential application as corrosion protective coatings.

Influence of Copper Nanoparticles Concentration on the Properties of Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Cu Nanoparticles Nanocomposite Films

Abstract  
In this study, the nanocomposite films of polyvinylidene fluoride/copper nanoparticles were prepared by mixing of copper nanoparticles in a solution of dimethylformamide and polyvinylidene fluoride. The prepared nanocomposites were investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques, showed an obvious ?- to ?-phase transformation compared to pure PVDF. Scanning electron microscope micrographs showed spherulitic crystal structure of PVDF. The spherulitic morphology of the pure PVDF is maintained for the PVDF nanocomposites; the size of the spherulites decreased by increasing weight fraction of copper nanoparticles. The optical band gap values deduced from the UV–Visible absorption spectra were found to reduce from 4.77 eV in pure PVDF to 3.2 eV after embedding 1 wt% of copper nanoparticles. The surface resistivity values were decreased with increasing copper nanoparticles content. Thermal stability of the nanocomposites was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). TGA curves showed that nanocomposite films have higher resistance to thermal degradation compared to pure PVDF.

Abstract  
Core–shell structured Fe3O4/SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) sized 40–50 nm with a narrow size distribution have been synthesized by a mechanical stirring and ultrasonication assisted Stöber method at the room temperature. It is shown that the combination of the ultrasonication and mechanical stirring during the preparation process benefits the formation of the well-dispersed NPs. The Fe3O4/SiO2 core–shell microstructure is identified with X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy measurements and such NPs exhibit superparamagnetism.

Study of Crystallization and Spectral Properties of Zinc Sulfide Nanoparticles in Mesoporous Matrix

Abstract  
The aim of this work is to report the optical and structural properties of ZnS nanoparticles in mesoporous matrix. The samples were obtained by sulfidation of the Zn2+ ion-exchange mesopore in a Na2S solution at room temperature. The final product (ZnS/MCM-41) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectrometry and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Its crystalline structure and morphology was studied by XRD and SEM. Exciton absorption peaks at higher energy than the fundamental absorption edge of bulk ZnS indicates quantum confinement effects in nanoparticles as a consequence of their small size.

An Investigation of Environment Barrier Coating on 2D C/SiC Composites Prepared by Liquid Phase Process

Abstract  
Sc2Si2O7-based environmental barrier coating (EBC) was prepared on 2D C/SiC composites by different liquid phase processes. Single Sc2Si2O7 coating was brushed with sol and slurry. The multi-layer coating, which consisted of BSAS (Ba0.25Sr0.75Al2Si2O8, B) as bond coat, BSAS + Sc2Si2O7 (BS) as interlayer and Sc2Si2O7 (S) as top coat, was painted with slurry and modified slurry. The slurry process was modified using amorphous instead of crystallized powders as raw materials derived from the sol–gel method. Modification mechanisms were proposed and characterized by weight losses of BSAS and Sc2Si2O7 dry gel from thermogravimetric analysis and their sintering shrinkage ratios from coefficient of thermal expansion tests. The microstructure of the prepared coating was observed using scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition was detected by X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the S/BS/B coating with 30 ?m thickness, which was prepared by the modified slurry, possessed excellent adhesion to the substrate and the best compactness among the above coatings. Higher activity, lower sintering energy barrier and tiny sintering shrinkage of S and B amorphous powders are mainly responsible for the performance enhancement.

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Characterization of a Novel 2D ? 2D Parallel Interpenetrated Coordination Polymer [Zn2(pdoa)2(bpp)2(H2O)]·4H2O

Abstract  
A novel 2D ? 2D parallel interpenetrated coordination polymer [Zn2(pdoa)2(bpp)2(H2O)]·4H2O (1) [H2pdoa = 2,2?-(1,3-phenylenedioxy)bis(acetate), bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane], has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of Zn(Ac)2·2H2O, bpp and H2pdoa, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, PXRD, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure determination reveals that 1 features a 2D parallel interpenetrated 44-sql net generated by 2-crossing [2]-catenane motif, and pairs of interpenetrating 2D sheets show the same handedness. The overall structure, however, is achiral—in each layer of doubly interpenetrating nets, the two individual nets have the opposite handedness to the corresponding nets in the adjoining layers. Moreover, the thermal stabilities and photoluminescence properties of 1 were also discussed.

Synthesis of New Polyfunctional Cage Oligosilsesquioxanes and Cyclic Siloxanes by Thiol-ene Addition

Abstract  
A novel octakis-2{[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]thio}ethyl-octasilsesqioxane (POSS-M24) was synthesized by radical thiol-ene addition of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, (MPTMS) to octavinyloctasilsesquioxane, (POSS-V8) in the presence of 2,2?azobisisobutyronitryl under mild conditions (60 °C, toluene solution). Nano-building POSS units bearing both types of groups, 2-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylthio]-ethyl and vinyl, pendant to the POSS-cage were obtained by partial addition of MPTMS to the vinyl functions. Finally the thiol-ene addition of MPTMS to 2,4,6-trivinyl-2,4,6-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane (V3) and 2,4,6,8-tetravinyl-2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (V4) were explored. The structures of the thiol-ene addition products were confirmed by 29Si NMR and mass Spectroscopy.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of New Lead(II) Discrete and Infinite Cage-Like Framework: A Precursor to Produce Pure Phase Nano-Sized Lead(II) Oxide

Abstract  
A novel Pb(II) complex, {[Pb2(tpmba)2(NO3)4]·MeOH} n (1), was obtained by the reaction of a tripodal ligand, N,N?,N?-tris(pyrid-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide (tpmba), with Pb(NO3)2. The structure of complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. The results of structural analysis of the complex reveal that 1 is a M2L2 cage-like with a methanol molecule beside the cage. An entirely different structure and topology between 1 and similar complexes indicate that the nature of organic ligands affects the structure of assemblies. The results indicate that the framework of this complex is predominated by the nature of the organic ligand, anions, solvent and geometric need of the metal ions. It was found that the coordination number of PbII ions is eight, (PbN3O5) has a stereo-chemically active electron lone pair and the coordination sphere is hemi-directed. PbO nanoparticles are obtained by thermolysis of 1 at 180 °C with oleic acid as a surfactant. Scanning electron microscopy shows that the size of the PbO particles is ~30 nm.

Sonochemical Synthesis and Characterization of the First Flower-Like Cadmium(II) Coordination Compound: New Precursor to Produce Pure Phase Nano-Sized Cadmium(II) Oxide

Abstract  
For the first time the flower-like cadmium(II) coordination compound, [Cd(2,2’-bpy)(ftfa)2]n (1), (2,2’-bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine; ftfa = furoyltrifluoroacetonate) is synthesized sonochemically. The new nano-structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy. Single crystalline material is obtained using a heat gradient applied to a solution of the reagents. The thermal stability of compound is studied by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses. After calcinations of nano-sized 1 at 400 °C, pure phase nano-sized Cd(II) oxide was produced. The average size of the nanoparticles is estimated by the Scherrer equation (diameter ? 25 nm). The morphology and size of the prepared Cd(II)O samples are examined by SEM.

Synthesis of Silver Particles with Various Morphologies

Abstract  
Silver particles with various morphologies were prepared by a facile synthesis via the reduction of silver ions in an ethylene glycol solution with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and trace amounts of sodium chloride. Preparative conditions such as reaction temperature (from 120 to 160 °C), time, and the concentration of starting materials were optimized for the purpose of controlling the morphology of Ag particles. Scanning electron microscopy indicated Ag particles with various morphologies such as rod, cubic, and spherical. The creation of various morphologies was ascribed to the select adsorption ability of PVP and the erosion behavior of the chloride ion. Because of the morphology dependence of the Ag particles on the preparative conditions, this strategy provided a platform for controlling the morphologies of metallic particles.

Synthesis and Structure of Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Clay/Organosilane Nanocomposite Coatings

Abstract  
Environmentally friendly polysiloxane and clay/polysiloxane composite coatings were synthesized on aerospace-grade aluminum alloy AA2024-T3 substrates from mildly acidified aqueous solution. The polysiloxane coatings were synthesized by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation of organosilane coupling agents such as glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) followed by solution drop-casting onto the substrate to form self assembled nanoparticles, coating. The epoxy polysiloxane coating formed by condensation reaction of hydrolyzed TMOS and GPTMS was subsequently cured with aminosilane coupling agent to form cross-linked polysiloxane coating. Clay/polysiloxane coating was formed by dispersing about 0.1–0.3wt% of clay in the hydrolyzed TMOS/GPTMS solution followed by solution casting and the resulting clay/polysiloxane composite coating was subsequently cured with aminosilane coupling agent. The structure and composition of organosilane coupling agents and hybrid polysiloxane coatings were determined by reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIR) and X-ray diffraction spectrometry (XRD). The hydrolysis, condensation and curing reactions of TMOS and the organosilane coupling agents were studied by analyzing thin films cast on aluminum alloy substrate after a predetermined reaction time by using RAIR. The XRD results show that the resulting polysiloxanes are semi-crystalline polymers. Wide angle XRD analysis indicated that clay dispersed in clay/polysiloxane composite coating is either highly intercalated or partially exfoliated. This inference was drawn from the disappearance of d001 diffraction peak for clay from the XRD spectrum of clay/polysiloxane coatings cured at 100 °C for 2.5 h.

Synthesis, Structure and Luminescent Properties of a Two-dimensional Network Asymmetric Biscarboxylate Silver(I) Coordination Polymer

Abstract  
A new silver(I) coordination polymer, [Ag(Hcpa)] n (1), was synthesized using a flexible asymmetric biscarboxylate ligand, (4-carboxymethoxy-phenyl)-acetic acid (H2cpa), and Ag(NO3). The acetate group is monodentate and links a Ag(I)-atom. The oxyacatate group is tetradentate and connects three Ag(I)-atoms. Each Hcpa ligand exhibits a novel pentadentate coordination mode bridging four Ag(I) ions and is 4-connected. Each Ag(I) is coordinated by four Hcpa and extend to a novel (4,4)-connected two-dimensional network that contains one-dimensional channels. 1 reveals the blue emission maximum at 446 nm in the solid state at room temperature. The X-ray power diffractions and TGA of 1 are presented.

Preparation of Cadmium(II) Oxide Nanoparticles from a New One-Dimensional Cadmium(II) Coordination Polymer Precursor; Spectroscopic and Thermal Analysis Studies

Abstract  
A one-dimensional Cd(II) coordination polymer containing 2-pyridinecarboxylate (2-pyc?) and iodide anions [Cd(?-2-pyc)(?-I)] n (1), is synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and X-ray crystallography. The single-crystal X-ray data show that the coordination number for the Cd2+ ion is five. The thermal stability of 1 was studied by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analyzes. Cd(II)O nanoparticles were prepared by direct calcination of 1 at different temperatures. The Cd(II)O nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the morphology of the Cd(II)O nanoparticles is dependent upon the thermolysis temperature.

Targeted Highly-Thermostable Metal–Organic Frameworks Directed by Imidazole: Syntheses, Structures, Thermal Behaviors and Luminescent Properties

Abstract  
Three new isostructural 3D lanthanide MOFs (Ln(HBPTC)(H2O)) (Ln = Tb (1), Pr (2), Nd (3); H4BPTC = 3,3?,4,4?-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using imidazole as a structure-directing agent, and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses. Topologically, compounds 13 demonstrate an intriguing 3D (6, 6)-connected network with the Schläfli symbol of (410·65)(49·66); and if the dinuclear (Ln2) clusters are considered as the single 8-connected nodes, they can be described as a scarcely reported (4, 8)-connected alb net constructed from two intertwining sqp-4 nets. TGA and PXRD analyses reveal that compounds 13 exhibit high thermal stability, at least being stable up to 410 °C. Furthermore, the luminescence studies were performed on compound 1 and its dehydrated phase in the solid state at room temperature. The results demonstrate that compound 1 displays intense green emission, implying its potential application as fluorescence material. And the luminescence of 1 is quenched when removing the coordinated water molecules.
