Differential study of substituted and unsubstituted cobalt phthalocyanines for gas sensor applications
2011
Abstract The conductivity of CoPc (cobalt phthalocyanine) and Co[(SO3Na)2,3Pc] was measured under a flow of two different gases (NH3 and O3), during exposure/recovery cycles. It appears that the relative responses are linearly related to the concentration, in the 20–200 ppb range for O3 and in the 20–200 ppm range for NH3. Observed during time, the sensing parameters allow a qualitative understanding of the kinetics. The comparative study of those products under both different gases gave interesting results for sensor applications. Whereas CoPc is sensitive to both gases, its sulfonated counterpart is only sensitive to NH3.
Evidence for H2S gas as an intermediate species in the reaction mechanism of trapping hydrogen by cobalt disulfide
2011
Cobalt sulfide prepared by aqueous precipitation using Na2S and a Co(II) salt is known to trap hydrogen at room temperature and low pressure. The importance of oxidation of the primary CoS precipitate with atmospheric oxygen with respect to its efficiency as a hydrogen absorber is demonstrated. This stage of oxidation produces a mixture of two solid phases: a partially crystallized cobalt hydroxide Co(OH)2 and an amorphous cobalt sulfide CoS2 with a Co(OH)2/CoS2 molar ratio of 1 as predicted by thermodynamics. This biphasic product is probably the basic cobalt sulfide CoSOH considered in older and even more recent work. This product traps molecular hydrogen with a H2/Co molar ratio of 0.5 w…
Über eine neue Methode zum Nachweis des als Primärprodukt der Autoxydation der Metalle Eisen, Nickel und Kobalt in Säure- und Salzlösungen gebildeten…
1971
H2O2 als Zwischenprodukt der Autoxydation (bzw. · OOH oder · OH) kann mit Hilfe der Phosphin-, Phosphinoxid- Methode bei Fe, Ni und Co wirksamer als mit Hilfe der Jodometrie erfast werden. In saurem Medium sind Tris-(m-aminophenyl)-phosphin (1), im alkalischen Bereich Tris-(p-carboxyphenyl)- phosphin (2) wirksame auch fur quantitative Bestimmungen geeignete Reagentien auf H2O2 · 1 und 2 reagieren bei hoheren Konzentrationen bis zu 20 ma1 schneller mit H2O2 als dieses mit der Eisengrenzflache. Ni und Co erzeugen mehr H2O2 als Fe. Bei Eisen entsteht im neutralen Medium mehr H2O2 als im sauren Bereich. Die unterschiedlichen Anfangsgeschwindigkeiten des Sauerstoffverbrauchs in sauerstoffhaltige…
Inhibition of VEGF expression through blockade of Hif1a and STAT3 signalling mediates the anti-angiogenic effect of melatonin in HepG2 liver cancer c…
2013
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth relies on angiogenesis via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) release. Hypoxia within tumour environment leads to intracellular stabilisation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (Hif1α) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3). Melatonin induces apoptosis in HCC, and shows anti-angiogenic features in several tumours. In this study, we used human HepG2 liver cancer cells as an in vitro model to investigate the anti-angiogenic effects of melatonin. Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with melatonin under normoxic or CoCl2-induced hypoxia. Gene expression was analysed by RT–qPCR and western blot. Melatonin-induced anti-…
miR-20b modulates VEGF expression by targeting HIF-1 alpha and STAT3 in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
2010
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of different genes, including genes involved in cancer progression. A functional link between hypoxia, a key feature of the tumor microenvironment, and miRNA expression has been documented. We investigated whether and how miR-20b can regulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in MCF-7 breast cancer cells under normoxic and hypoxia-mimicking conditions (CoCl(2) exposure). Using immunoblotting, ELISA, and quantitative real-time PCR, we demonstrated that miR-20b decreased VEGF protein levels at 4 and 24 h following CoCl(2) treatment, and VEGF mRNA at 4 h of treatment. In addition, miR-20b reduce…
Synthesis and characterization of a novel dicyanamide-bridged Co(II) 1-D coordination polymer with a N 4 -donor Schiff base ligand
2017
The synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a novel Co(II) 1D coordination polymer, [Co(L)(µ1,5-dca)(ClO4)2·MeOH]n (1) are described. Compound 1 contains two independent cationic Co(II) chains (CoA and CoB) which are parallel to the c direction and present short π-π and C-H⋯π interactions with two neighbouring chains along the b direction, giving rise to alternating layers of chains A and B in the bc plane. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements shows a weak antiferromagnetic coupling among the adjacent cobalt(II) centres mediated through μ1,5-dca− bridge.
X-ray crystal structures of copper(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with Schiff base ligands. Reactivity towards dioxygen
2003
Copper(II) and cobalt(II) Schiff base complexes with derivatives of the pentadentate ligand bis(salicylideneimino-3-propyl)amine [H2salDPT] have been prepared. The X-ray crystal structures of the copper(II) complexes Cu[salDPT] and Cu[sal(n-propyltrimethylsilyl)DPT] were determined and revealed five-coordination at the metal centre in both cases. The 1 ∶ 1 dioxygen adduct of Co[sal(n-propyltrimethylsilyl)DPT] was also isolated and its X-ray molecular structure determined.
2-Amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (ampdH2) as ligand backbone for the synthesis of cobalt complexes: Mononuclear Co(II), binuclear Co(II,III) and hexa…
2013
Abstract Three cobalt complexes have been synthesized using 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (ampdH2) and its Schiff base derivative ligands and structurally characterized. The three complexes 1, 2 and 3 are very different and consist of mononuclear Co(II), mixed-valence binuclear Co(II,III) and mixed-valence hexanuclear Co(II,III) complexes respectively. The properties of the coordinated donor atoms of the ligand play the predominant role in stabilizing the oxidation states of the cobalt centers. The presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in 1 via non-coordinating perchlorate ions lead to the formation of a 1D-Chain network while a sheet-like 2D network was observed in 3.
Observation of novel oxygen⋯oxygen interaction in supramolecular assembly of cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes: a combined experimental and computati…
2015
Two mononuclear cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes with azide [Co(L)(N3)(L0 )] (1) and [Co(L)(N3)(L00)] (2) {where HL ¼ 1-((2-(diethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)naphthalene-2-ol, HL0 ¼ 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and HL00 ¼ acetylacetone} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Both complexes show mononuclear structures with azide as terminal coligand. Structural features have been examined in detail that reveal the formation of interesting supramolecular networks generated through non-covalent forces including hydrogen bonding, C–H/H–C and C–H/p interactions. These interactions have been studied ener…
