Abstract
Two bases-decavanadates coordination compounds [(C6H13N4)2][Mg(H2O)6]2[O28V10].6H2O (1) and [(C7H11N2)4][Mg(H2O)6][O28V10].4H2O (2) have been synthesized and well characterized using vibrational spectroscopy (infrared), UV-Visible analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The formula unit, for both compounds, is composed by the decavanadate [V10O28]6-, hydrated magnesium ion, a counter anion and free water molecules. The transition metal adopts octahedral geometries in both compound (1) and (2). The existence of a multitude of hydrogen bonding interactions for both compounds provides a stable three-dimensional supramolecular structure. Optical absorption reveals a band gap energy indicating the semi-conductive nature of the compound. In this study, the cytotoxic and the anti-proliferative activities of compounds (1) and (2) on human cancer cells (U87 and MDA-MB-231) were investigated. Both compounds demonstrated dose-dependent anti-proliferative activity on U87 and MDA-MB-231 with respective IC50 values of 0.82 and 0.31 μM and 1.4 and 1.75 μM. These data provide evidence on the potential anticancer activity of [(C6H13N4)2][Mg(H2O)6]2[O28V10].6H2O and [(C7H11N2)4][Mg(H2O)2][O28V10].4H2O. Molecular docking of the compounds was also examined. Molecular docking studies were performed for both compounds against four target receptors and revealed better binding affinity with these targets in comparison to Cisplatin. Moreover, molecular docking investigations suggest that these compounds may function as potential inhibitors of proteins in brain and breast cells, exhibiting greater efficiency compared to Cisplatin.

Abstract
The effect of the applied potential on the crystallography, morphology, optical, and electrical properties of copper-cobalt oxide (Cu2CoO3) co-electrodeposited on ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) substrate has been studied. The electrochemical behavior of Cu2CoO3 using cyclic voltammetry showed that the co-electrodeposition of Cu2CoO3 occurred at a negative potential of - 0.70 V versus SCE, following a quasi-reversible reaction controlled by the diffusion process. Chronoamperometry (CA) revealed that the nucleation and growth mechanism of Cu2CoO3 follows the instantaneous three-dimensional process according to Scharifker and Hill model. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the resulting layers at different applied potentials exhibited an orthorhombic structure with a preferred orientation of the crystallites (011) plan. The morphology of the surface changes with potential applied. Furthermore, the optical properties of the copper and cobalt oxide films were investigated using UV-visible spectroscopy; showing that the band gap energy for all the materials increases when the applied potential decreases. The Cu2CoO3 layers obtained are p-type semiconductors. The acceptor density (NA) increases with decreasing applied potential.

Abstract
In order to develop materials able to guarantee optimal characteristics in terms of environmental compatibility, abundance, and photoactivity, zinc telluride (ZnTe) has become a great candidate for optoelectronic and photovoltaic device applications. In this work, on the basis of electrochemical techniques including cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry, it was found that the electrodeposition of zinc telluride (ZnTe) on indium tin oxide substrate (ITO) is a quasi-reversible reaction controlled by the diffusion process. The nucleation and growth mechanism follows the instantaneous three-dimensional process according to Scharifker and Hill model. The crystallographic structure and film morphology were studied by XRD and SEM analyses, respectively. ZnTe films have a cubic crystal structure, and they are characterized by good homogeneity. The optical measurements of the deposited films were performed, and a direct energy gap of 2.39 eV was determined by UV-visible spectroscopy.

Abstract
Chitosan and chitin are mainly extracted from shells of fish such as lobsters, crabs or shrimps. Originally, the raw material and the two compounds are identical. This study aims to show the acid concentration effect on chitosan extraction from shrimp shells between concentrated and diluted acid; on surface morphology, thermal resistance, structural, elemental composition, optical and opto-electronic properties. It also aims to reduce the production time and increase the quantity. We focused mainly on comparing between Physico-chemical properties of chitosans extracted by diluted (1M) and concentrated (20%) Chloric acids, and sometimes we compare by other concentrated acids like nitric acid (70%) and sulphuric acid (98%). We performed the product's characterization by various tools such as: X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transformed Infra-Red (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, Thermogravimetry and Derivative Thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The elemental analysis (XRF and EDX). The results showed that all chitosan samples we gained are good about 80% degree of deacetylation, and pure mostly composed by carbon between (15,02% - 45.55%), nitrogen (4,17% - 12.28%) and oxygen (42.16% and 81.25%), with appearance of essential peaks for chitosan in Raman analysis: 470 cm−1 → ν(C-C(=O)-C), 1000 cm−1 → ν(C-H), 1800 cm−1 → δ(C=CCOOR), δ(C=O), 2630 cm−1 → δ(CH) rings, 3250 cm−1 → ν(NH2). All our chitosan particles are ultrafine nanoscale between 8 and 34 nm.

Abstract
Understanding the interactions of the calix[n]arene molecules with a variety of invited chemicals entities is getting very important. In this context, we have studied a new host-guest such as the interaction of the calix[4]arenes with the bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide TFSI- ion. The energy gap has decreased from 3.53 eV to 2.11 eV indicating the reliability of the electrochemical evaluation of HOMO and LUMO energy levels. In a predominant number of cases, we obtain the spatial accumulation of HOMO and LUMO at the interface of phenol groups. Then, according to the QNBO charge distribution of these host-guests interactions, we have demonstrated the direction of charge transfer between the CX[4] molecule and the TFSI- ion. More importantly, the non covalent interactions (NCI) have been investigated that the endo-cavity position of the TFSI-4 is the most stable position between all these host-guests. By using DFT quantum methods, we have identified as a suitable host for TFSI- which can be used in the electronic technology.
