Fabrication of Solar Cells Using Novel Micro- and Nano-Complexes of Triazole Schiff Base Derivatives

Abstract

A new asymmetrical Schiff base triazole ligand, (4-(((3-mercapto-5-(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)imino)methyl)phenol) (L1), was synthesized and characterized using CHNS elemental analysis and FTIR, UV/Vis, mass, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The Schiff base metal complexes of NiL1, PdL1, and AgL1 were synthesized and identified using FTIR, UV/Vis and flame atomic absorption spectroscopies and elemental analysis, as well as magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. NanoL1 and its complexes, nanoNiL1, nanoPdL1, and nanoAgL1, were prepared as compounds using ultrasound. The new nano-complexes were characterized using FTIR, UV/Vis, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscope, and XRD measurements. The structural, optical and morphological properties were studied in a solution of DMSO and then precipitated on silicon slides using the drop-casting method to fabricate the solar cells.

Nanoscale Synthesis of Metal(II) Theophylline Complexes and Assessment of Their Biological Activity

“…TMCs drugs (TMCD) have become increasingly important in inorganic and medicinal chemistry and have attracted a great deal of attention over the past decade in drug development strategies [4,5]. The studies have also shown that the nanomaterials and nanocomplexes have distinctive physical, chemical and biological applications [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Theophylline, 1,3-dimethylxanthine, with significant biological characteristics, is a purine alkaloid.…”

Synthesis, Characterization, Spectroscopic and Biological Studies of Zn(II), Mn(II) and Fe(II) Theophylline Complexes in Nanoscale

“…Transition metal complexes drug (TMCD) have become increasingly important in inorganic and medicinal chemistry and have attracted a great deal of attention over the past decade in drug development strategies [6]. Nanotechnology plays an important role in inorganic chemistry through the formation of nano complexes and nano oxides, which are included in many biological and industrial applications [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Theophylline (Scheme 1) transition metal complexes can be used to analyze the relationship as template compounds between metal ions and nucleic acid oxo purine bases [19].…”
