High-efficiency cathodic electrochemiluminescence of the tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(ii)/N-hydroxy compound system and its use for sensitive “turn-on” detection of mercury(ii) and methyl blue

N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (NHSS) were exploited as efficient coreactants for cathodic Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in neutral medium.

Catalytic wet air oxidation of Reactive Black 5 in the presence of LaNiO3 perovskite catalyst as a green process for azo dye removal

The removal of textile azo dye, Reactive Black from the aqueous solutions by catalytic wet air oxidation in the presence of LaNiO₃ perovskite catalyst has been investigated. The most suitable reaction conditions were determined by testing various the catalyst loadings, reaction temperature and pressure values, and the initial pH of the Reactive Black 5 solutions. The most suitable reaction conditions with 0.61 L/min of air flow rate were found to be 1 g/L of LaNiO₃ loading, 50 °C of reaction temperature, 1 atm of reaction pressure, and, pH = 3 for the oxidation of 100 mg/L Reactive Black solutions. Under these conditions the degradation and the decolorization efficiencies were evaluated as 65.4% and 89.6%, respectively. The phytotoxicity analyzes were carried out by using Lepidium sativum. According to the toxicity tests a remarkable decrease in the growth inhibition was achieved by the catalytic wet air oxidation in the presence of LaNiO₃ catalyst. The growth inhibition in the untreated and treated dye solutions were calculated as 49.3% and 23.7%, respectively.

Sandwich type polyoxometalates encapsulated into the mesoporous material: synthesis, characterization and catalytic application in the selective oxidation of sulfides

The A-type sandwich polyoxometalates of [(HOSn^IVOH)₃(PW₉O₃₄)₂]¹²⁻ (P₂W₁₈Sn₃) and [(OCe^IVO)₃(PW₉O₃₄)₂]¹²⁻ (P₂W₁₈Ce₃) were immobilized for the first time into the porous metal–organic framework MIL-101(Cr). FT-IR, powder X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDX, ICP analysis, N₂ adsorption and thermogravimetric analysis collectively confirmed immobilization and good distribution of polyoxometalates into cages of MIL-101(Cr). The catalytic activities of the homogeneous P₂W₁₈Sn₃ and P₂W₁₈Ce₃ and the corresponding heterogeneous catalysts were examined in the oxidation of sulfides to sulfones with H₂O₂ as the oxidant at room temperature. The effects of different dosages of polyoxometalates, type of solvent, reaction time, amount of catalyst and oxidant in this catalytic system were investigated. The new P₂W₁₈Sn₃@MIL-101 and P₂W₁₈Ce₃@MIL-101 nanocomposites exhibited good recyclability and reusability in at least five consecutive reaction cycles without significant loss of activity or selectivity.

The A-type sandwich POMs of [(HOSn^IVOH)₃(PW₉O₃₄)₂]^12– (P₂W₁₈Sn₃) and [(OCe^IVO)₃(PW₉O₃₄)₂]^12– (P₂W₁₈Ce₃) were immobilized for the first time into the porous MIL-101 MOF. Their catalytic activities were examined in the oxidation of sulfides to sulfones at room temperature.
