Four new azo-dyes, 3-phenyl azopentane-2,4-dion (LA), 3-(4-nitro phenyl azo)-pentane-2,4-dion (LP), 3-(2-nitro phenyl azo)-pentane-2,4-dion (LO) and 4-(1-acetyle-2-oxo-propyl azo)-benzene sulfonate sodium (LS), were synthesized from, aniline, 4-nitroaniline, 2-nitroaniline and sulfanilic acid with acetylacetone, respectively. Reaction of these new dyes with acetate salts of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) in molar ratios of 1:2 were carried out to produce azo metal (II) complexes with the general stoichiometry; CuL2, CoL2 and NiL3 in complexes. Structure of azo dyes was characterized using FT-IR,1H NMR,13C NMR, UV-Visible and also the corresponding metal (II) complex were characterized by FT IR, UV-Visible and CHN and XRD analysis techniques. Elemental analysis and spectral data indicated that the dye as a ligand with two teeth, N and O, acts as a bidentate ligand. Differences in absorption maxima of azo ligands compared to those corresponding complexes were also studied. Also, in this work, singular value decomposition (SVD) as a chemometric method was used to determine the Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes with the mentioned ligands in methanol by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. SVD method confirmed the formation of CuL2, CoL2 and NiL3 complexes.

In this study, hierarchical H-ZSM-5 zeolite is prepared via post-synthetic modification of parent H-ZSM-5 zeolite (Si/Al=35) synthesized from bagasse (BGA) as silica source using desilication with alkaline treatment (AT). For optimizing the effective parameters on desilication, Taguchi method was utilized. Cultivated BGA in the south of the Caspian Sea (Mazandaran province, Iran) is applied for extracting silica powder and used in the synthesis of zeolite. In this work, two responses have been considered. The First and the second responses are the maximum amounts of extracted silicone and the removal of Pb2+ % from aqueous solutions, respectively. For this purpose, the effect of four important factors with three selected levels including; concentration of NaOH solution (0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 M), temperature (25, 55 and 85 Cº), time of reflux (30, 60 and 120 min) and molar ratio of TMAOH/ NaOH (0.5, 1 and 1.5) are studied on both of the responses. TMAOH was defined as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide. According to Taguchi method, the optimum conditions for both responses are concluding as Concentration of NaOH solution=0.2 M, temperature =55 Cº, time of reflux=120 min and molar ratio of TMAOH/ NaOH=0.5. The results display that Concentration of NaOH solution in comparison to other factors is the most effective one in both responses. Also, AT-05-ZSM-5 is selected as the optimum zeolite with volumes 278.13 ppm and 90.2 % with S/N ratios 48.878 and 39.097 for the first and the second responses, respectively. Parent H-ZSM-5 and AT-05-ZSM-5 are characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infra-red (IR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometery (ICP-OES). AT-05- ZSM-5 demonstrates a limit and uniform meso-pore average size distribution at 7.65 nm using alkaline treatment.

The redox properties of sulfite ion has been examind using cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile solvent at the surface of gold, pelatin and glassy carbon electrodes. It has bben found tha, sulfite ion exhibits two electron oxidation peak with EC’ mechanism. A novel chemically modified electrode containing Prussian blue complex and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNs) was achieved on the surface of glassy carbon electrode by sol-gel technique. The electrochemical behavior of modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in detail. The film electrode obtained was very stable and exhibited electrocatalytic response for oxidation of sulfite. Results showed at bare GC electrode, a small oxidation peak current was observed at about 0.663mV and a well-formed sharp catalytic oxidation peak was observed at Prussian blue complex modified electrode. The transfer coefficient (α) for electrocatalytic oxidation of sulfite and the diffusion coefficient of this substance under the experimental conditions were also investigated.

In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) was prepared and meso-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (TNPP) was immobilized on it. The product was identified by techniques of UV-Vis, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy (DRS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of an amount of a loaded porphyrin compound containing the nitro group on CNC was investigated against a typical Gram negative bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a typical Gram positive bacterium, Bacillus subtilis, under visible light irradiation. The results indicated that CNC incorporated with 14.9% TNPP has a good effect on the photo-inactivation of P. aeruginosa and can be used in the textile, biomedicine, biomaterials engineering, membranes and polymer nanocomposites.

(St-co-BA) polymer through montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite emulsion is prepared by in situ intercalative emulsion polymerization of styrene (St), butyl acrylate (BA) in the presence of organic modified montmorillonite (OMMT) with different OMMT contents (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt%). The synthetic compounds are characterized by FTIR, XRD. The nanocomposite emulsions are characterized by applying FTIR, SEM, TEM, TGA and DSC techniques in order to investigate the structure and the thermal properties of the coplymer. The properties of the nanocomposite emulsions containing OMMT are better than styrene-acrylate emulsion. The study of monomer conversion versus time and different OMMT contents indicates that the polymerization rate is decreased by increasing the concentration of styrene and OMMT. Consequently the properties of the nanocomposite emulsion containing 1 wt % OMMT are better than other contents.

In this study a new method by Application of graphene oxide Nano sheets– Melamine –TioOxalic acid composite was exhibited as adsorbent for the elimination of toxic mercury (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The combine has the authority to adsorb the organic and inorganic combines. Through the immobilization of Melamine-TioOxalic acid (MTO) onto graphene oxide nanosheets, the desired composite was synthesized and introduced by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), UV-Vis and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic techniques. The different experimental parameters such as pH and concentration of the aqueous solution of Mercury (II), amounts of the MTO and the graphene oxide (GO), temperature, contact time, have been optimized. It was presented that they carry out the efficiency of Mercury (II) ion importantly, increased after immobilization of MTO on the graphene oxide Nano sheets. GO-MTO is a very suitable adsorbent for removing of heavy metal ions especially Mercury (II) ions. Mercury and Gold have very interesting for binding with sulfur.

A comparative workflow, including linear and non-linear QSAR models, was carried out to evaluate the predictive accuracy of models and predict the inhibition activity of a series of aryl-substituted isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones. The data set consisted of 34 compounds was classified into the training and test sets, randomly. Molecular descriptors were selected using the genetic algorithm (GA) as a feature selection tool. Various linear models based on multiple linear regression (MLR), principle component regression (PCR) and partial least square (PLS) and non-linear models based on artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and support vector machine (SVM) methods were developed and compared. The accuracy of the models was studied by leave-one-out cross-validation (Q_LOO^2), Y-randomization test and group of compounds as external test set. Six descriptors were selected by GA to develop predictive models. With respect to the linear models, GA-PCR method was more accurate than the reset with statistical results of 〖 R〗_train^2=0.883, R_test^2=0.897,〖 R〗_(adj,train)^2=0.829,〖 R〗_(adj,test)^2=0.849,〖 F〗_train=24.07 and F_test=34.17. In case of non-linear models, GA-SVM (R_train^2=0.992 and R_test^2=0.997) showed high predictive accuracy for the inhibitory activity. It was found that the selected descriptors have the major roles in interpretation of biological activities of the compounds.

For spectrophotometric analysis of Hg (II) ions, we have used and compared two membranes preparation methods using different polymer; one is poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the other is triacetylcellulose (TAC). In the case of TAC membrane, it was treated with a ligand solution (1.166 × 10-3 mole L-1) in ethylenediamine at the ambient temperature for almost 2-5 min. However, in the case of PVC membrane, the ligand of triazen was incorporated into a plasticized membrane of PVC. The significant factors affecting the determination of analytical performance from aqueous solutions, limit of detections (LODs) by TAC membrane (64 µg L-1) and by PVC membrane (0.069 ng L-1), linear dynamic range (DLR) by TAC membrane (7-90 mg L-1) and by PVC membrane (0.125-10 µg L-1). In this work LODs and linear dynamic range of PVC membrane is lower than of TAC membrane by a factor of 10000. However, TAC membrane was easier to operate and no more special device required, but PVC membrane required much shorter time reaching to steady state. Two membranes were successfully applied to the determination of Hg (II) in water samples.

In this study, mononuclear octahedral cobalt(III) Schiff base complex [CoL3], L = (5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl-2-furylmethyl)imine, was synthesized from the reaction of Co(NO3)2•6H2O and the Schiff base ligand L in methanol as solvent. It used as a new precursor to prepare spinel type cobalt oxide nanoparticles by a facile solid-state thermal decomposition. Controlling the temperature and time, Co3O4 nanoparticles were obtained in air at 550ºC within 3.5 h. The Co3O4 nanoparticles was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These results confirm that the resulting cobalt oxide products were pure single-phases. Using the present method, Co3O4 nanoparticles can be produced without using any expensive organic solvent and complicated equipment. TEM result showed the products are almost flat with the size of about 10-50 nm. It has potential to be applied as a general method for preparation of other transition metal oxide nanoparticles.
