Abstract:
The nature of the diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) species present in aqueous alkaline medium has been investigated
by a kinetic and mechanistic study on the oxidation of iodide by DPC. The reaction kinetics were studied over the
1.0 ´ 10)3±0.1 mol dm)3 alkali range. The reaction order with respect to DPC, as well as iodide, was found to be
unity when [DPC] [I)]. In the 1.0 ´ 10)3±1.0 ´ 10)2 mol dm)3 alkali region, the rate decreased with increase in
the alkali concentration and a plot of the pseudo-®rst order rate constant, k versus 1/[OH)] was linear. Above
5.0 ´ 10)2 mol dm)3, a plot of k versus [OH)] was also linear with a non-zero intercept. An increase in ionic
strength of the reaction mixtures showed no e ect on k at low alkali concentrations, whereas at high concentrations
an increase in ionic strength leads to an increase in k. A plot of 1/k versus [periodate] was linear with an intercept in
both alkali ranges. Iodine was found to accelerate the reaction at the three di erent alkali concentrations employed.
The observed results indicated the following equilibria for DPC.

Abstract:
In the title molecule, C16H11N5, the mean planes of the
quinoxaline and indazole fragments form a dihedral angle of

hydrogen bonds link the molecules into zigzag chains
extending in the [001] direction. The crystal packing also

Abstract:
Two new complexes, [MII(L)(Cl)(H2O)2]·H2O (where M=Ni or Ru and L = heterocyclic Schiff base, 3-
hydroxyquinoxaline-2-carboxalidene-4-aminoantipyrine), have been synthesized and characterized by
elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, FAB-MASS, TG–DTA, AAS, cyclic
voltammetry, conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes have a distorted
octahedral structure andwere found to be effective catalysts for the hydrogenation of benzene. The influence
of several reaction parameters such as reaction time, temperature, hydrogen pressure, concentration
of the catalyst and concentration of benzenewas tested. A turnover frequency of 5372 h−1 has been found
in the case of ruthenium complex for the reduction of benzene at 80 ◦C with 3.64×10−6 mol catalyst,
0.34 mol benzene and at a hydrogen pressure of 50 bar. In the case of the nickel complex, a turnover
frequency of 1718 h−1 has been found for the same reaction with 3.95×10−6 mol catalyst under similar
experimental conditions. The nickel complex shows more selectivity for the formation of cyclohexene
while the ruthenium complex is more selective for the formation of cyclohexane

Abstract:
In the molecule of the title compound, C20H16N6, the central
C—C bond lies on a crystallographic inversion centre. The
quinoxalidine ring is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation
of 0.021 (2) A ˚ from the mean plane. The crystal structure is

Abstract:
A novel bisazomethine Schiff base was synthesised by the condensation of 3-hydroxyquinoxaline-2-
carboxaldehyde and 2,3-diaminomaleonitrile. 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HPLC and FT-IR studies revealed that
the compound exists in two major tautomeric forms. The Schiff base exhibits positive absorption and
fluorescent solvatochromism and displays dual fluorescence with large stoke shifts. Cyclic voltammetric
analysis of the compound in 1:1 methanol–THF was influenced by scan rate. Thermal analysis of the
compound was undertaken using TG–DTA and DSC

Abstract:
The metal complex, [Ni(en)2(H2O)2](NO3)2
(en = ethylenediamine), was decomposed in a static furnace
at 200 C by autogenous decomposition to obtain
phase pure metallic nickel nanocrystallites. The nickel
metal thus obtained was studied by XRD, IR spectra, SEM
and CHN analysis. The nickel crystallites are in the
nanometer range as indicated by XRD studies. The IR
spectral studies and CHN analyses show that the surface is
covered with a nitrogen containing species. Thermogravimetric
mass gain shows that the product purity is high
(93%). The formed nickel is stable and resistant to oxidation
up to 350 C probably due to the coverage of nitrogen
containing species. Activation energy for the oxidation of
the prepared nickel nanocrystallites was determined by
non-isothermal methods and was found to depend on the
conversion ratio. The oxidation kinetics of the nickel
crystallites obeyed a Johnson–Mehl–Avrami mechanism
probably due to the special morphology and crystallite
strain present on the metal.

Abstract:
Highly crystalline, ultra fine TiO (anatase) having high surface area has been prepared by thermal hydrolysis of titanyl sulphate 2
solution and characterized using B.E.T surface area measurements, XRD and chemical analysis. The dependence of surface area on
concentration of staffing solution, temperature of hydrolysis, duration of boiling and calcination temperature were also studied. As the
boiling temperature, duration of boiling and calcination temperature increased, the surface area of TiO formed decreased significantly. 2
On increasing calcination temperature, the crystallite size of TiO also increased and gradually the phase transformation to rutile took 2
place. The onset and completion temperatures of rutilation were 700 and 10008C, respectively

Abstract:
Zeolite Y-encapsulated ruthenium(III) complexes of Schiff bases derived from 3-hydroxyquinoxaline-2-carboxaldehyde and 1,2-
phenylenediamine, 2-aminophenol, or 2-aminobenzimidazole (RuYqpd, RuYqap and RuYqab, respectively) and the Schiff bases derived from
salicylaldehyde and 1,2-phenylenediamine, 2-aminophenol, or 2-aminobenzimidazole (RuYsalpd, RuYsalap and RuYsalab, respectively) have
been prepared and characterized. These complexes, except RuYqpd, catalyze catechol oxidation by H2O2 selectively to 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene.
RuYqpd is inactive. A comparative study of the initial rates and percentage conversion of the reaction was done in all cases. Turn over frequency
of the catalysts was also calculated. The catalytic activity of the complexes is in the order RuYqap > RuYqab for quinoxaline-based complexes and
RuYsalap > RuYsalpd > RuYsalab for salicylidene-based complexes. The reaction is believed to proceed through the formation of a Ru(V) species.

Abstract:
Two series of transition metal complexes of Schiff bases derived from
quinoxaline-2-carboxaldehyde with semicarbazide (QSC) and furfurylamine
(QFA) were synthesised and characterised by elemental analyses,
molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, electronic
and EPR spectral studies. The QSC complexes have the general
formula [M(QSC)Cl2]. A tetrahedral structure has been assigned for the
Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes and a square-planar structure for the
Cu(II) complex. The QFA complexes have the formula [M(QFA)2Cl2].
An octahedral structure has been assigned for these complexes. All of
the complexes exhibit catalytic activity towards the oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (DTBC) to 3,5-di-tert-butylquinone (DTBQ) using
atmospheric oxygen. The cobalt(II) complex of the ligand QFA was
found to be the most active catalyst.

Abstract:
CoMo/gama-Al2O3 catalysts for hydrodesulphurisation activity were prepared by making use of the molecular designed dispersion (MDD)
method. Molybdenum and cobalt pyrrolidine-N-carbodithioate (Pydtc) complexes were used for the incorporation of metals on the support.
The catalysts were characterized by elemental analysis, low temperature oxygen chemisorption, temperature programmed reduction (TPR)
and laser Raman spectroscopy. The hydrodesulphurisation activity of all the catalysts were carried out and results were compared with those
of the catalysts prepared through the conventional method. Higher molybdenum dispersion, smaller molybdenum clusters, lower reduction
temperature of catalyst and better hydrodesulphurisation activity were observed for the catalysts prepared through the MDD method
The title reaction was undertaken to establish the interaction between amantadine and molybdate at physiological pH. Identical FTIR spectra, TG-DTA curves and CHN data of the complexes formed from three solutions at pH 1.5, 7.4 and 8.0 indicate that the same complex was formed at all the three pHs. The FTIR spectrum shows shift in peaks corresponding to primary amino group of the drug due to coordination to molybdate. An octahedral geometry is assigned to the complex. The kinetics of the complexation has been studied at low concentrations of the reactants using UV-visible spectrophotometry. At pH 7.4, the initial rate varies linearly with [molybdate]. A plot of initial rate versus [drug] is linear passing through origin. These results indicate that the drug and molybdate react at pH 7.4 even at low concentrations. At pH 1.5, the rate increases linearly with increase in [drug] but decreases with [molybdate]. The effect of pH and ionic strength on the rate of the reaction has also been studied. A suitable mechanism has been proposed for the reaction. Reaction between the drug and molybdate even at low concentrations and the fact that the amino group of amantadine required to be free for its function as antiviral, is bound to molybdate in the complex suggests that simultaneous administration of the drug and molybdate supplements should be avoided.

Abstract:
The Schiff base, 3-hydroxyquinoxaline-2-carboxalidine-4-aminoantipyrine, was synthesized by the
condensation of 3-hydroxyquinoxaline-2-carboxaldehyde with 4-aminoantipyrine. HPLC, FT-IR and NMR
spectral data revealed that the compound exists predominantly in the amide tautomeric form and
exhibits both absorption and fluorescence solvatochromism, large stokes shift, two electron quasireversible
redox behaviour and good thermal stability, with a glass transition temperature of 104 oC. The
third-order non-linear optical character was studied using open aperture Z-scan methodology employing
7 ns pulses at 532 nm. The third-order non-linear absorption coefficient, b, was 1.48 x 10-6 cm W-1 and
the imaginary part of the third-order non-linear optical susceptibility, Im c(3), was 3.36x10-10 esu. The
optical limiting threshold for the compound was found to be 340 MW cm-2.

Abstract:
Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of dimethylglyoxime and N,N-ethylenebis(7-methylsalicylideneamine) have been synthesized in situ
in Y zeolite by the reaction of ion-exchanged metal ions with the flexible ligand molecules that had diffused into the cavities. The hybrid
materials obtained have been characterized by elemental analysis, SEM, XRD, surface area, pore volume, magnetic moment, FTIR, UV-Vis
and EPR techniques. Analysis of data indicates the formation of complexes in the pores without affecting the zeolite framework structure, the
absence of any extraneous species and the geometry of encapsulated complexes. The catalytic activities for hydrogen peroxide decomposition
and oxidation of benzyl alcohol and ethylbenzene of zeolite complexes are reported. Zeolite Cu(II) complexes were found to be more active
than the corresponding Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes for oxidation reactions. The catalytic properties of the complexes are influenced by their
geometry and by the steric environment of the active sites. Zeolite complexes are stable enough to be reused and are suitable to be utilized as
partial oxidation catalysts.
