Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ mixed oxides were synthesized with solid-state dispersion (SSD) and coprecipitation methods. In addition, transition metal oxides such as CuO, NiO, and Co$_{3}$O$_{4}$ were successfully loaded on the synthesized catalyst (Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$) using the SSD method. The composite catalysts were inspected for their photocatalytic activities in degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol under UV light enforcement. The produced samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and the Brunauer-Emmett- Teller method. The addition of transition metal oxides improved the photocatalytic activity of Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$5 (SSD). 1CuO wt% Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$-V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ exhibited the highest percentage of 2,4-dichlorophenol …

Accelerated Fe$^{Iii}$/Fe$^{Ii}$ Redox Cycle Of Fenton Reaction System Using Pd/Nh$_{2}$-Mil-101(Cr)And Hydrogen, Zhong-Xing Liu, Xin Liu, Yong Li, Shi-Qian Gao

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this paper, a novel improvement in the catalytic Fenton reaction system named MHACF-NH$_{2}$-MIL-101(Cr) was constructed based on H$_{2}$ and Pd/NH$_{2}$-MIL-101(Cr). The improved system would result in an accelerated reduction in Fe$^{III}$, and provide a continuous and fast degradation efficiency of the 10 mg L$^{-1}$ 4-chlorophenol which was the model contaminant by using only trace level Fe$^{II}$. The activity of Pd/NH$_{2}$-MIL-101(Cr) decreased from 100% to about 35% gradually during the six consecutive reaction cycles of 18 h. That could be attributed to the irreversible structural damage of NH$_{2}$-MIL-101(Cr). Key words:

Regarding the abundant use of metals for different purposes, it becomes more critical from various scientific and technologi¬cal perspectives to discover novel agents as selective probes for the detection of specific metals. In our previous studies, we have shown that aqueous solutions of natural urolithins (i.e., hydroxyl-substituted benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivatives) are selective Iron (III) sen¬sors in fluorescence assays. In this study, we have extrapolated these findings to another coumarine compound (i.e., 3-Hydroxy-7,8,9,10- tetrahydro-6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one) and compared the selective metal binding properties with Urolithin B (i.e., 3-Hydroxy-6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one). Following the synthesis and structure identification studies, the fluorometric studies pointed out that the lactam group …

Tuning the selective sorption features of microporous organic networks is of great importance for subsequent applications in gas uptake and hiding, while it is more attractive in terms of being both time and cost effective to realize these optimizations without using functional groups in the core and linker. "Knitting" is one of the easiest and most used method to obtain a broad scope of hyper-crosslinked polymers on a large scale from aromatic structures that do not contain functional groups for polymerization. By the use of Knitting method, a hypercrosslinked covalent ultramicroporous organic polymer was obtained via stepwise process from using …
