New less toxic zeolite‐encapsulated Cu(II) complex nanomaterial for dual applications in biomedical field and wastewater remediation

Abstract

A new dual‐functional Cu(II) complex and its nanohybrid form encapsulated into NaY zeolite cavities were synthesized. The synthesized compounds were characterized using elemental analyses, X‐ray fluorescence, infrared, 1H NMR, electronic, electron spin resonance and mass spectra, powder X‐ray diffraction, surface area and transmission electron microscopy in addition to conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The encapsulated Cu(II) complex was catalytically tested for degradation of industrial wastewater. The decolorization and mineralization results indicate that the Cu(II) complex encapsulated into zeolite host is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for real industrial wastewater remediation. In addition, both free and encapsulated Cu(II) complexes were tested as anti‐microbial and anti‐tumour agents. The results show that the Cu(II) complex encapsulated into zeolite has a high activity (IC50 = 14.4 μg ml−1). The results of in vivo toxicity experiments indicate that the Cu(II) complex encapsulated into zeolite is a less toxic biocompatible material (LD50 = 1245 mg kg−1). The catalytic properties, cytotoxicity and toxicity of the new nanohybrid Cu(II) complex encapsulated into zeolite make it a promising eco‐friendly and biocompatible material for water remediation and biomedical applications.

Co(ii), Ni(ii), Cu(ii) and Cd(ii)-thiocarbonohydrazone complexes: spectroscopic, DFT, thermal, and electrical conductivity studies

“…This band is assigned to 2 E g / 2 T 2g transition in the distorted octahedral around Cu(II) complex. 82,83 The magnetic moment of the Cu(II) complex appeared at 1.8 B.M., which agrees with the value of the octahedral geometry. 84,85 The yellow Cd(II) complex displayed absorption bands at 288, 318, and 415 nm that could be due to p-p*, n-p*, and CT transitions, respectively.…”

Synthesis, structural characterization, DNA cleavage studies, antimicrobial activities, and time‐killing kinetics of tetranuclear Cu (II) with partial cubane Cu4O4 cores and mononuclear Co (II) and Ni (II) complexes of a new acylhydrazone ligand

“…Acylhydrazones and metal complexes have recently gained considerable interest due to easy synthesis and applications in many fields such as medicine, analytical chemistry, catalysis, electrochemistry, pharmacology, biomedical, non-linear optics, water treatment, and industry. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Acylhydrazones in the -CH=N-NH-C=Ogroup can coordinate to various metal ions through carbonyl oxygen and nitrogen atoms of azomethine using different oxidation steps. Also, hydrazone compounds that are in appropriate positions and carry additional donor atoms such as N, O, and S that can coordinate to metal can exhibit triple, quad, or multi-toothed ligand behavior, and, except for mononuclear complexes.…”
