Co(III) based surfactant complexes and their Dye, BSA and free radical activities

Abstract

Study reports the preparation of metal/surfactant complexes or Metal Organic Ionic Framework (MOIF) based on ionic interaction of [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ and Dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT)/Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). MOIF is result of strong ionic interaction between cationic and anionic moieties without disturbing their own structures. MOIF of [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ and SDS was found in solid powdery form while [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ + AOT produced sticky material. UV/Vis, FTIR, Raman and XRD measurements were used to characterize the MOIFs. The ionic interaction between cationic complex [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ and anionic sulphur of AOT/SDS was confirmed by comparing spectra with their parental moieties. MOIF containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups showed their dye interaction activity studied with methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) depicting impact of linear and iso-alkyl chain ánd hydrophilic amine groups. MOIF showed their protein binding nature, studied with bovine serum albumin (BSA), analyzed with spectrophotometric titrations revealing that hydrophobicity affects the interaction. In Dye and protein interactions, MOIF of [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ + AOT showed strong activities than MOIF of [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ + SDS due to more hydrophobicity associated with MOIF of [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ + AOT. MOIFs have also shown good scavenging effect tested in vitro against free radical, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and the same, strong interaction for MOIF of [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ + AOT noticed.

[Fe(CN)5NO]2–-Based MOIFs for Adsorption of Organic Pollutants and as a Self-Rotatory Motor

“…It not only harms the environment but also pollutes drinking water at the ground level and causes drinking water problem. Such dyes are not limited to use as coloring agents for textile, paper, pharmaceutical, food, leather, and cosmetic industries but also used as disinfectants in aquaculture as preservative for animals feed . Thus, the removal of organic dyes from wastewater prior to discharge is necessary for the protection of ecological environments and human health.…”

“…Such dyes are not limited to use as coloring agents for textile, paper, pharmaceutical, food, leather, and cosmetic industries but also used as disinfectants in aquaculture as preservative for animals feed. 2 Thus, the removal of organic dyes from wastewater prior to discharge is necessary for the protection of ecological environments and human health. In this context, many porous materials like metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) play an important role in the removal of pollutants via adsorption or degradation.…”
