The geometry of the title compound was optimized by B3LYP method with 6-311+G(d) basis set. The theoretical 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift (GIAO method) values of the title compound are calculated and compared with the experimental results. The computed data of the chemical shift are in good agreement with the experimental data. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) such as HOMO orbital, LUMO orbital and energy gap between HOMO and LUMO, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), electronic properties such as ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A), global hardness, global hardness (η), electronegativity (χ), electronic chemical potential (μ), electrophilicity (ω) and chemical softness (S) of the title compounds were investigated discussed by theoretical calculations. The FMO analysis suggests that charge transfer is taking place within the molecule. Also the electronic structure of the title compound was studied by using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis in order to understand hyper conjugative interactions and charge delocalization.

The influence of four variables, including the amount of catalyst, solvent, reaction time and ultrasonic power, on the reaction yield was investigated. The results showed that the optimum parameters for synthesis of HBIW were 5% mol with respect to glyoxal for catalyst, acetonitrile-water as solvent, 5 minutes as reaction time and 150 W for ultrasonic power. In general, improvement in rates and yields were observed when the reactions were carried out under sonication in comparison with classic conditions. Manuscript profile -

The green synthesized CuFe2O4 MNPs are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-raypowderdiffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the formation of Cubic phase ferrite MNPs with average crystallite size of 14 nm. This study has demonstrated that CuFe2O4nanoparticles can act as an efficient catalyst for selective oxidations of alcohols applying oxone (potassium hydrogen monopersulfate) as oxidant in the presence of acetonitrile as solvent at 40 ºC. Primary and secondary alcohols gave the corresponding products in good yields. Furthermore, the catalyst can be simply recovered and reused several times with almost no loss in activity.

The prepared nanomagnetic catalyst was characterized by IR, XRD, SEM and ICP. The diameter of the ZnFe2O4 MNPs (63.7 nm) was determined by Debye-Scherre equation via their XRD pattern. Nanomagnetic ZnFe2O4 efficiently catalyzes oxidation of alcohols and gave the corresponding carbonyl-containing products in good yields. The reactions were carried out in an aqueous medium at r.t in the presence of oxone (potassium hydrogen monopersulfate) as an oxidant. In addition, the catalysts could be reused up to 5 runs without significant loss of activities. Manuscript profile -

Nanoscale magnetic ferrites are considerable materials for removing the majority of organic dyes due to their unique properties and high potential photocatalytic activity. Their photocatalytic performance in semiconductor nanocrystals has also received many enthusiasts over the last couple of years. Changing nanoferrites’ architectural building blocks and increasing their bandgap energy may improve their photocatalytic peculiarities. In the present investigation, we have studied nanoscale magnetic ferrites with Co0.4Mg0.4Cu0.2Fe1.9Cr0.1O4, (CMCFO-Crx, x= 0.1) formula. CMCFO-Crx has synthesized via sol- gel approach. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, SEM, UV-vis analysis, and magnetic measurement, revealing the cubic spinel structure with space group Fd-3m (N° 277), average size between 20 and 60 nm, higher bandgap energy and saturation magnetization (446 emu/g) in the presence of transition metals. The results demonstrated in CMCFO-Crx (x=0.1) compound, the Curie temperature decreases to 446 K by the substitution of Fe3+ by Cr3+ ions. The synthesized powder nanoferrites efficiently degraded the Congo Red (CR) dye (84 %) under UV irradiation, for which the most probable degradation pathway is proposed. The recyclability test exhibited the nanoscale magnetic ferrites catalysts are sensibly efficient, stable, and facile recoverable by an external magnet. Thus, the CMCFO-Crx compounds can be an applicable catalyst in wastewater treatment. Manuscript profile -
