Abstract:In this research Ce 3+ doped Captopril nanoparticles (Ce 3+ doped CAP-NP) were prepared by a cold welding process and have been studied. Captopril may be applied in the treatment of hypertension and some types of congestive heart failure and for preventing kidney failure due to high blood pressure and diabetes. CAP-NP was synthesized by a cold welding process. The cerium nitrate was added at a ratio of 10% and the optical properties have been studied by photoluminescence (PL). The synthesized compounds were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The size of CAP-NP was calculated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The size of CAP-NP was in the range of 50 nm. Morphology of surface of synthesized nanoparticles was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally the luminescence properties of undoped and doped CAP-NP were compared. PL spectra from undoped CAP-NP show a strong pack in the range of 546 nm after doped cerium ion into the captopril appeared two bands at 680 and 357 nm, which is ascribed to the well-known 5d-4f emission band of the cerium.

A series of mono‐ and bis‐terpyridine complexes of nickel (II) based on the 4′‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine (ftpy) have been synthesized and structurally characterized using elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The reaction of NiCl2•6H2O with ftpy has been resulted in the formation of new bis‐terpyridine complex [Ni (ftpy)2](PF6)•2H2O (1). The new complex [Ni (ftpy)2](PF6)2 (2), obtained during the crystallization of 1 in methanol, was characterized using X‐ray crystallography, which shows that six nitrogen atoms from terpyridine ligands occupy the coordination sites around the Ni (II) in a distorted octahedral geometry. On the other hand, the reaction of NiCl2•6H2O with ftpy in a 1:2 or 1:1 mole ratio in methanol in the presence of KSCN affords two new thiocyanato complexes [Ni (ftpy)2](SCN)2•2H2O (3) and [Ni (ftpy)(NCS)2(H2O)]•2H2O (4), respectively. The crystal structure of 3 reveals that nickel (II) is hexa‐coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry NiN6 involving six atoms of two ftpy ligand; the ftpy ligands are perpendicular to each other. The new complex [Ni (ftpy)(NCS)2(DMSO)]•DMSO (5) is obtained during the crystallization of 4 in DMSO. The crystal structure of 5 reveals that the nickel (II) is hexa‐coordinated by three nitrogen atoms of ftpy, two NCS−, a DMSO in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The X–H (XH, C, N, O) bond interactions control the arrangement of the supramolecular 3D framework. Hirshfeld surface analyses and two‐dimensional fingerprint plot reveal that the main interactions are H–H contacts for 2, 3, and 5, which comprise 34.1%, 37.2%, and 34.6%, respectively. Thermal decomposition of the coordination complexes led to the formation of Ni, NiO, and Ni2P2O7 nanoparticles (NPs). The resulting NPs were fully characterized by powder XRD, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). The formation of these NPs indicates the role of the precursor complexes and counterion. Our results indicate that the NPs with the smaller size could be obtained at calcination temperature of 600 °C. Thermal and luminescent properties of complexes have been discussed in detail.
