The present investigation on zinc-penicillins hydrogel membrane system is largely based on the delivery of drugs through the functionalization of polymers for the purpose of sustained release of new development drugs. Zinc (11)-penicillin complex, [Zn(pin-O)(Cl)].6H(2)O, was synthesized through the chemical reaction between penicillin G potassium (pin-G) with zinc(II) chloride salt in the binary solvent mixture of the 50/50 (v/v) (CH3OH/H20). This complex was identified using microanalytical analyses, conductance, FT-IR/1H NMR spectra, thermo gravimetric analyses, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface morphological analyses (scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)). FT-IR analysis confirm that, the zinc(II) metal ion is coordinated through carbonyl groups of amide and beta-lactam groups as well as oxygen atom of carboxylate group. Thermal analysis gave an information about the presence of six uncoordinated water molecules outside sphere of chelation. Research paper is one of the attractive points that deal with the development of medical drugs and make them more efficient, and it was preparing the active materials in the nanometer image. The purpose of this research was to design and develop of nanomedicinal zinc-penicillins hydrogels by esterification of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with gelatin. Hydrogels are one of the most promising types of 3-dimensional cross-linked hydrophilic polymeric networks being used for various biomedical applications. This study was addressed the measurement of anti-microbial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and positive bacteria which recorded an efficient behavior. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

The complexes exhibited non-electrolytic behavior based on conductance measurements, and the polymer ligands acted as neutral bidentate NO ligands. The complexes showed octahedral geometry based on their electronic spectra and magnetic properties, and were more thermally stable than the ligands. SEM and TEM provided information on the surface structure and particle size of the complexes.

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Surface adsorption of adenine on pristine and B/N/O/P-doped coronene as a biosensing substrate for DNA detection- DFT study

R. Aneesh Kumar, S. Jamelah Al-Otaibi, Y. Sheena Mary, Y. Shyma Mary, Nivedita Acharjee, Renjith Thomas, Renjith Raveendran Pillai, T. L. Leena

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: In this study, the selective oxidation of aromatic aldehydes was investigated using Ru(VI) as a catalyst and hexacyanoferrate (III) as a cooxidant in an alkaline medium. The reaction mechanism involves complex reaction orders for the oxidant and the aromatic aldehyde, while the reaction order for Ru(VI) is one. The proposed mechanism includes two catalytic cycles and the formation and decomposition of complexes. Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis showed that deactivating groups in the para-position enhance the process.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

Summary: This study examines the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity of water-based alumina nanofluids to changes in concentration, sphericity, and temperature. The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.

Summary: This paper reports on the synthesis, structural characterization, spectral and nonlinear-optical properties of glass nanocomposites made of glass forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles. The study reveals that by exciting the nanocomposites within their absorption band, a control over effective optical nonlinearities can be achieved, allowing the modification of the magnitude and sign of the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient. The proposed strategy using metal-alkanoates based glass-forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of nanophotonics and plasmonics technologies.
