“…[19][20][21] The efficiency of heterostructure photocatalysts depends upon bandgap position, bandgap energy, composition, morphology, surface area, and photostability. 22,23 To construct an efficient photocatalyst that is effective under visible light is very critical and challenging. 24,25 Photo-corrosion and electron-hole pair recombination are the main factors that lower the efficiency of the photocatalyst.…”

Perylene diimide (PDI) and naphthalene diimides (NDIs) are compounds widely used in supramolecular structures due to their versatile and functional properties. They have high absorptions and photoluminescence capabilities, which make them ideal for electronic transition studies. Reflux method, a widely employed synthetic technique, was utilized to synthesize NDI and PDI derivatives. In this method, the respective amino acids and NTDA (naphthalene‐1,4,5,8‐tetracarboxylic dianhydride) were combined in acetic acid and the resulting mixture was subjected to reflux. This study centered on a diverse set of NDI and PDI ligands, comprising L‐ala‐NDI, B‐ala‐NDI, Gly‐NDI, Imi‐NDI, Pyr‐NDI, L‐ala‐PDI, B‐ala‐PDI, Gly‐PDI, Imi‐PDI, and Pyr‐PDI ligands. Crystal structures were obtained for three NDI ligands, while the characterization of all ligands involved several analytical techniques such as NMR, IR, UV, DFT, TD‐DFT calculations, and single‐crystal x‐ray crystallography specifically for the NDI ligands. The investigation focused on studying the electron acceptor/donor behavior of the NDI and PDI ligands, identifying their potential for charge transfer applications. Furthermore, the NLO (nonlinear optical) response of all 10 NDI and PDI ligands was assessed through an analysis involving HOMO‐LUMO, TDM, EDDM, NCI, Iso‐surface, MEP, natural population, and DOS analysis. This evaluation encompassed the examination of linear polarizability, as well as first and second hyperpolarizability in the context of NLO. The findings of the study revealed that Gly‐PDI, Imi‐PDI, L‐ala‐PDI, and B‐ala‐PDI ligands displayed a higher NLO response compared with the other ligands. These results highlight the potential of these ligands for nonlinear optical applications. The comprehensive characterization and assessment of the NDI and PDI ligands contribute to a deeper understanding of their electron properties, positioning them as promising candidates for charge transfer and nonlinear optical materials.

“…Many organic and inorganic contaminants, as well as microbial species, have been found in water [7]. Mineral extraction from water is having huge social, biological, economic, political, and environmental consequences [8][9][10]. In addition, owing to misuse in irrigation, the available groundwater level is rapidly diminishing [11].…”

In the present work, sulfur-doped manganese ferrites S@Mn(Fe2O4) nanoparticles were prepared by using the sol-gel and citrate method. The concentration of sulfur varied from 1 to 7% by adding Na2S. The samples were characterized by performing Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Ultraviolet–Visible spectroscopy (UV–Visible). The synthesized sulfur-doped manganese ferrites were applied to evaluate the photocatalytic degradation of the dyes. Further, the degradation studies revealed that the nanoparticles successfully degraded the methylene blue dye by adding a 0.006 g dose under the sunlight. The sulfur-doped manganese ferrite nanoparticles containing 3% sulfur completely degraded the dye in 2 h and 15 min in aqueous medium. Thus, the ferrite nanoparticles were found to be promising photocatalyst materials and could be employed for the degradation of other dyes in the future.
