Solvent Extraction Studies on Zn(II) AND Cd(II) Complexes OF 1,5-Dimethyl-2-Phenyl-4[(E)-(2,3,4- Trihydroxyphenyl)]DIAZENYL-1,2-Dihydroxyl-3hpyrazol-3-ONE.
ABSTRACT The azo-ligand, 1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-[(E)-(2,3,4-trihydroxylphenyl) diazenyl]- 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (H3L) and its Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized based on stoichiometric, molar conductance, electronic and infra-red spectral studies. The results showed that H3L reacted with the metals in 2:1 ratio. H3L coordination was through the hydroxyl, azo and carbonyl groups to form [Zn(H2L)2] 2+ and [Cd(H2L)2] 2+ respectively. Solvent extra...

ABSTRACT Physicochemical and bacteriological analyses of borehole water samples were randomly collected from ten boreholes that supply drinking water to various communities of Aninri, Awgu and Oji River Local Government Areas of Enugu, Nigeria. The boreholes were sampled in both dry and rainy seasons. The following physicochemical parameters: pH, temperature, colour, electrical conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, hardness, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, alkalinity,...
Comparative Analysis of Acid Activated Nteje Clay And Two Commercially Available Adsorbents(Fullers Earth And Activated Carbon)
ABSTRACT The composition and bleaching properties of Nteje clay in comparison with two commercially available adsorbents (activated carbon and fuller’s earth) were investigated to study its competence for use as an alternative to high cost imported adsorbents. The modification of the raw clay sample was carried out by acid activation to enhance the surface area of the clay by exchange of octahedral cations e.g Al3+, Fe3+ and Mg2+ with H+ ions which led to the modification of the clay ...
Palladium–Catalyzed Sonogashira Synthesis of Mono And Bisalkynylated Derivatives of Quinoline-5,8-Dione And Their Antimicrobial Activity
ABSTRACT The synthesis of five mono- and five bis-alkynylated derivatives of quinoline-5,8-diones is reported. The intermediate 6,7-dibromoquinoline-5,8-dione was obtained by nitrosation of 8- hydroxyquinoline, followed by reduction and subsequent bromination and oxidation. The coupling reaction of 6,7-dibromoquinoline-5,8-dione via palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling gave the alkynylated products. The chemical structures of the products were confirmed using spectroscopic met...

The Effect Of Temperature, Catalysis, And Dielectric Constant In The Kinetics Of The Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Of [N-(2-Hydroxy-Ethyl)Ethylenediamine-N’,N’,N’,-Triacetato Cobalt (11)] B
ABSTRACT The effects of temperature, dielectric constant and catalysis in the kinetics of the oxidation –reduction reactions (involving electron transfer) of N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl) ethylenediammine- N’,N’,N’-Triacetatocobalt (II) by Cu2+ cation were determined. The dielectric constant was decreased from 63.05 to 43.18 and it was found that the rates of the reaction did not show any appreciable change. This seems to mean that the change in the dielectric constant of the medium...
