Abstract:
It is a privilege to act as the conference editor for this issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC) dedicated to the 12th Eurasia Conference on Chemical Sciences (EuAsC2S-12). The Eurasia Conferences on Chemical Sciences started in Bangkok in 1988 under the leadership of the founders, Bernd M. Rode (Austria), Hitoshi Ohtaki (Japan), and Ivano Bertini (Italy), together with Salag Dhabandana (Bangkok).During the preparation of the present issue of PAC, on 7 July 2012, Ivano Bertini, leading scientist in chemistry and biology, passed away. We will always remember him for his unselfish leadership and enormous contribution in paramagnetic NMR.The aim of the conferences is to foster friendship and exchange of knowledge between chemists in the Eurasian supercontinent as well as those in the Americas and Australia. While all previous conferences have been held in Asia or the Middle East, EuAsC2S-12 took place at the Hotel Corfu Chandris, on the island of Corfu, Greece, on 16-21 April 2012 with the aim of encouraging and enhancing the participation of European scientists and thus help to make them better known. EuAsC2S-12 was organized by the University of Ioannina on the Greek mainland with Emeritus Prof. Nick Hadjiliadis as Chair of the local organizing committee.The total number of participants was 450, with ca. 400 active delegates from 60 countries. The scientific program comprised 14 sessions, each of which was represented by invited speakers and further oral presentations on the following topics:- bioinorganic chemistry- pharmaceutical chemistry and drug design- organic synthesis and natural products- environmental and green chemistry- physical chemistry and spectroscopy- theoretical and computational chemistry- organometallic chemistry and catalysis- clinical biochemistry and molecular diagnostics- coordination chemistry and inorganic polymers- analytical and solution chemistry- supramolecular chemistry and nanomaterials- food chemistry- chemical education- polymer scienceThe scientific program, which was accompanied by a rich social activities program, included 9 plenary lectures, 214 oral presentations, and 190 poster presentations.The collection of 13 papers in this issue of PAC is a representation of the topics related to inorganic chemistry, covered in the lectures held during EuAsC2S-12. The papers represent a good cross-section of major themes ranging from traditional coordination chemistry, bio inorganic chemistry, supramolecular coordination chemistry, catalysis, and inorganic materials.The 13th Eurasia conference will be held in India in December 2014 with Prof. N. Jayaraman, Bangalore as head of the organizing committee.John C. PlakatourasConference Editor

Abstract:
Some well known inorganic compounds have been subject to treatment for a century and to recent improvements and innovations. The occurrence, the environmental behaviour and the removal techniques of inorganic substances depend primarily on their aquatic chemistry, involving various reactions. The knowledge on speciation and its alteration is essential for process selection. Out of the more recent problems of some inorganic substances, natural, geogenic arsenic plays obviously a major role in a large number of countries. The relatively high chronic toxicity induced lower drinking water standards and activities on improved arsenic removal. Arsenic is a good example to demonstrate the chemistry principles and to derive new treatment techniques at affordable costs. A full-scale process comparison in Germany is presented, indicating the superior efficiency of a newly developed fixed-bed adsorption with a commercial granular ferric hydroxide, developed in the early 1990s. It is especially suitable for small-scale water supplies, for well-head treatment and even for decentralised removal of arsenic with low maintenance requirements.

Abstract:
Jack Lewis was born and educated in Lancashire. He rose rapidly to become a highly renowned chemist who helped to pioneer the development of modern inorganic chemistry. He was one of the small group of scientists who led the expansion of inorganic chemistry from its renaissance, inspired by Professor Ron Nyholm in the mid 1950s, through the syntheses and study of new transition-metal and organometallic complexes. Their characterization was accomplished through the perceptive application of the newly available physical techniques of spectroscopy (electronic, vibrational and nuclear magnetic resonance), magnetism, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. Jack completed his PhD at the University of Nottingham in 1952, and then held academic appointments in close succession at the University of Sheffield, Imperial College, London, and University College London (UCL) before being appointed Professor of Chemistry at the University of Manchester in early 1962. He returned to UCL as Professor of Chemistry for the period 1967–70 before being appointed the 1970 Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, a position that he held until 1995, when he was granted emeritus status. His dedication to the study and furtherance of inorganic chemistry was profound and his research achievements were made all the more remarkable when one considers his substantial additional high-profile responsibilities. In 1975 Jack became the first Warden of the newly established Robinson College in Cambridge, where he shaped and guided a progressive academic community until his retirement in 2001. Furthermore, his skill as a highly effective debater also took him, in 1989, to the House of Lords, where as a Life Peer he represented science with great enthusiasm and distinction until a few months before his death. He was a most effective chairman of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution from 1985 to 1992.

Abstract:
The incessant generation of toxic waste and the growing concern over the environment have led the scientific community to delve into the search for more sustainable systems. In this regard, the application of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has become one of the main strategies in green chemistry. These solvents have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional toxic solvents and even to the well-known ionic liquids. Their unique properties, components availability, and easy preparation, among others, have led to a new trend within the scientific community and industry, based on the use of these up-and-coming solvents not only in science but also in quotidian life. Among the areas that have benefited from the advantages of DESs is analytical chemistry, in which they have been largely used for sample preparation, including the extraction and determination of organic and inorganic compounds from environmental samples. The considerable number of applications developed in the last year in this field and the increasing generation of new data necessitate the continuous updating of the literature. This review pretends to compile the most relevant applications of DESs in environmental analysis and critically discuss them to provide a global vision about the advantages and drawbacks/limitations of these neoteric solvents in the area of environmental analysis.

Chemistry
Ph.D.
Transition metals play an important role in many biological processes. Iron is essential for almost every organism, but its bioavailability is limited due to the low solubility of Fe(III) in aqueous environments. Microbial siderophores help solubilize and sequester iron(III). In solution, siderophores like desferrioxamine B (DFOB) are also avid binders of Ti(IV). Ti(IV) is chemically similar to Fe(III), and the use of usually-inert TiO2 is increasing in products such as sunscreens and paint. The surface of titanium metal in joint replacements and implants is oxidized to form TiO2. Microbial siderophores bind to normally inert TiO2 and this binding can affect the solubility of Ti(IV). Dissolution might render Ti(IV) biologically available, and might interfere with Fe(III) biogeochemical cycling, as well as impact biofouling in marine, medicinal, and industrial applications. This research explores how siderophores interact with Ti(IV) in aqueous solutions and can solubilize Ti(IV) from the surface of solid TiO2. Spectrophotometric techniques and isothermal titration calorimetry were used to determine the speciation of Ti(IV)-DFOB and revealed a stability constant of log ~ 40 for Ti(IV)-DFOB when in competition with EDTA. Complementary computational methods were employed to predict the structure of Ti(IV)-DFOB, because no crystal structure has been determined thus far. Dissolution studies of TiO2 in the presence of DFOB were monitored by UV/Vis and ICP-OES to determine the kinetics of Ti(IV)-DFOB formation, using many different crystalline forms of TiO2 at several pH values. Kinetic data confirmed that dissolution of Ti(IV) with DFOB is a two-step process, with one faster, less extensive step and a slower step involving additional Ti(IV). Introduction of small organic acid-derived ligands such as oxalate, citrate, ascorbate and succinate changed the dissolution kinetics, suggesting a synergistic cooperation between oxalate-DFOB dissolution, while the others revealed inhibitory behavior. Exposure of sunscreen products that contained TiO2 to DFOB was also investigated to determine biological effects on siderophore binding. Further investigative studies were conducted using SEM and TEM to address the surface interactions of TiO2 with DFOB. Understanding these interactions is necessary to determine the effects of binding, the interactions of these complexes in aqueous environments and how they behave chemically in biological systems. Varying concentrations of Fe(III) and Ti(IV) were introduced together with DFOB to determine by using UV/Vis spectroscopy what metal will bind preferentially. ESI-mass spectra were obtained of these solutions to further confirm metal binding. DFOB-mediated mineral dissolution studies were explored by spectrophotometry and ICP-OES to determine the amount of soluble metal released into solution from -hematite Fe2O3, anatase TiO2 and pseudobrookite (Fe2TiO5) and the kinetics of dissolution. Finally, surface analysis was conducted using SEM and TEM to observe the effects of DFOB on the mineral phase. The demonstration that DFOB can bind Ti(IV) and solubilize TiO2 raised the question of whether other siderophores could potentially cause the same effects. Another biologically relevant siderophore is pyoverdine (PVD), found in Pseudomonas bacteria. It has been a strong focus since it was found to have many important roles ranging from virulence, cell to cell signaling, and quorum sensing for biofilm formation. Adhesion of these bacteria is often found on titanium surfaces. Biofilms form on biomedical titanium implants and biologically induced corrosion often occurs on TiO2 coated surfaces, such as on the sides of ships and the interior of pipes. PVD was isolated from bacterial culture and characterized. PVD was then exposed to Ti(IV) solutions and monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence to characterize Ti-PVD formation and speciation, by using the same techniques as Ti-DFOB. Binding of Ti(IV) to PVD was determined using ITC to have a log ~51. Treatment of TiO2 with PVD yielded different results from those observed with DFOB. In particular, putative adsorption of PVD to the surface was seen rather than dissolution of Ti(IV). Growth of Pseudomonas in the presence of TiO2 showed enhanced growth rates and using Ti(IV) complexes, the effects on biofilm growth were determined. Understanding these interactions is necessary to determine the effects of binding, the interaction of these complexes in aqueous environments and how they behave chemically in biological systems.

Full text
Abstract:

Vanadium oxide-fluorides can exhibit properties of piezoelectricity, second harmonic generation (SHG) activity, electrochemical activity, and other phenomena. The first two properties derive from the second-order and Jahn-Teller distortions, respectively, of d0 and d1 vanadium; the electrochemistry derives from the reduction of VV to V IV,III,II.

An examination of the immediate environment of a vanadium cation facilitates an understanding of how a cation influences the structure of a compound and its resulting properties. In the inorganic hydrate CuVOF4(H 2O)7, the CuVOF4(H2O)6 basic-building unit (BBU) has a Λ-shape that compels polar packing in a structure that has SHG properties. The compound is a very rare example of a carbonless, SHG-active molecular crystal. Influences for its packing are reasoned with principles previously used within organic molecular crystallography.

The early transition metals (ETMs) of vanadium, niobium, and molybdenum within compounds of formulae K10(M2OnF 11-n)X (M = VV, NbV, n = 2, M = Mo VI, n = 4; X = halide) show a related packing motif of Λ-shaped BBUs in different structures. Owing to the absence or presence of Λ-shaped BBUs, these heterotypical structures crystallize decidedly into SHG-inactive or SHG-active forms when M = VV or M = NbV, MoVI, respectively. The future use and development of Λ-shaped BBUs within solid-state systems can result in SHG-active materials.

The material CuVOF4(H2O)7 presents an interesting coordination: the late transition metal (LTM, CuII) coordinates solely to the oxide anion of the vanadyl cation owing to hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) properties. The materials Na2[M(H2O) 2][V2O4F6] (MII = Co, Ni, Cu) show the LTM coordinates solely to the oxide anions of the V V cation while the alkali cation (NaI) coordinates solely to the fluoride anions. These HSAB properties were used to generate layers of hard or soft cation/anion rich regions in the electrochemically-active double wolframite AgNa(VO2F2)2.

These structure-property examinations of solid state vanadium oxide-fluorides are presented as principles for (i) fundamental understanding of ETM and BBU crystallographic environments, (ii) materials discovery for fundamental investigations, (iii) materials design, and (iv) materials for use in SHG, piezoelectric, and electrochemical processes.

Abstract:
This thesis reports the investigation of Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) semiconductor material as an efficient photocatalyst for the sunlight harvesting as well as environmental cleanup. I have utilised different synthetic methodologies to obtain BiOBr and its derivatives, such as co-precipitation, ultrasonification, and photo-deposition; and have studied their structural and optical properties by X-ray diffraction and surface analysis techniques. I report the synthesis and characterisation of two new p-n heterojunction systems, AgBr-BiOBr and BiOBr-ZnFe2O4, and have performed initial studies on photocatalytic reaction and their catalytic decomposition mechanisms. I have also reported the surface modification method including the deposition of noble metal on BiOBr to investigate the role played by the noble metal and the interactions between semiconductor and metal using various characterisation measurements. Furthermore, a continuous series of BiOBr-BiOI solid solutions were synthesised, characterised and the photocatalytic degradation was performed on the as-obtained semiconductors, to study the band structure properties of the solid solutions.

Abstract:
Due to their high surface areas and structural tunability, porous metal-organic materials, MOMs, have attracted wide research interest in areas such as carbon capture, as the judicious choice of molecular building block (MBB) and linker facilitates the design of MOMs with myriad topologies and allows for a systematic variation of the pore environment. Families of MOMs with modular components, i.e. MOM platforms, are eminently suitable for targeting the selective adsorption of guest molecules such as CO2 because their pore size and pore functionality can each be tailored independently. MOMs with saturated metal centers (SMCs) that promote strong yet reversible CO2 binding in conjunction with favorable adsorption kinetics are an attractive alternative to MOMs containing unstaurated metal centers (UMCs) or amines. Whereas MOMs with SMCs and exclusively organic linkers typically have poor CO2 selectivity, it has been shown that a versatile, long known platform with SMCs, pillared square grids with inorganic anion pillars and pcu topology, exhibits high and selective CO2 uptake, a moderate CO2 binding affinity, and good stability under practical conditions. As detailed herein, the tuning of pore size and pore functionality in this platform has modulated the CO2 adsorption properties and revealed variants with unprecedented selectivity towards CO2 under industrially relevant conditions, even in the presence of moisture. With the aim of tuning pore chemistry while preserving pore size, we initially explored the effect of pillar substitution upon the carbon capture properties of a pillared square grid, [Cu(bipy)2(SiF6)] (SIFSIX-1-Cu). Room temperature CO2, CH4, and N2 adsorption isotherms revealed that substitution of the SiF62- (“SIFSIX”) inorganic pillar with TiF62- (“TIFSIX”) or SnF62- (“SNIFSIX”) modulated CO2 uptake, CO2 affinity (heat of adsorption, Qst), and selectivity vs. CH4 and N2. TIFSIX-1-Cu and SNIFSIX-1-Cu were calculated to exhibit the highest CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 adsorption selectivites of the series, respectively. Modeling studies of TIFSIX-1-Cu and SIFSIX-1-Cu suggested that the enhancements in low pressure CO2 uptake and CO2 selectivity in the former arose from the stronger polarization of CO2 molecules by TIFSIX-1-Cu. The stronger framework-CO2 interaction at the primary binding site in TIFSIX-1-Cu correlates with the greater electronegativity of the pillar fluorine atoms relative to those in SIFSIX-1-Cu, and in turn to the higher polarizability of Ti4+ vs. Si4+. The effect of tuning pore size upon the carbon capture performance of pillared square grid nets was next investigated. Linker substitution afforded three variants, SIFSIX-2-Cu, SIFSIX-2-Cu-i, and SIFSIX-3-Zn, with pore sizes ranging from nanoporous (13.05 Å in SIFSIX-2-Cu) to ultramicroporous (3.84 Å in SIFSIX-3-Zn). Single-gas adsorption isotherms showed that SIFSIX-2-Cu-i, a doubly interpenetrated polymorph of SIFSIX-2-Cu with contracted pores (5.15 Å), exhibited far higher CO2 uptake, Qst towards CO2, and selectivity towards CO2 vs. CH4 and N2 than its non-interpenetrated counterpart. Further contraction of the pores afforded SIFSIX-3-Zn, a MOM with enhanced CO2 binding affinity and selectivity vs. SIFSIX-2-Cu-i. Remarkably, the selectivity of SIFSIX-3-Zn towards CO2 was found to be unprecedented among porous materials. Equilibrium and column breakthrough adsorption tests involving gas mixtures meant to mimic post-combustion carbon capture (CO2/N2), natural gas/biogas purification (CO2/CH4), and syngas purification (CO2/H2) confirmed the high selectivities of SIFSIX-2-Cu-i and SIFSIX-3-Zn. Gas mixture experiments also revealed that SIFSIX-3-Zn exhibited optimal CO2 adsorption kinetics. Most importantly, the CO2 selectivity of SIFSIX-2-Cu-i and SIFSIX-3-Zn was minimally affected in the presence of moisture. Modeling studies of CO2 adsorption in SIFSIX-3-Zn (experimental Qst ~ 45 kJ/mol at all loadings) revealed strong yet reversible electrostatic interactions between CO2 molecules and the SIFSIX pillars lining the confined channels of the material. Porous materials based upon the non-covalent assembly of discrete MBBs can also exhibit high surface areas and systematically tunable pore environments. Molecular porous material (MPM) platforms have begun to emerge despite the greater challenge of designing such materials in comparison to MOMs. Herein we report the tuning of pore functionality in an MPM platform based upon an extensive hydrogen-bonded network of paddlewheel-shaped [Cu(ade)4L2] complexes (ade = adenine; L = axial ligand). The substitution of Cl axial ligands with inorganic TIFSIX moieties has produced [Cu2(ade)4(TiF6)2], MPM-1-TIFSIX, a variant with enhanced CO2 separation performance and stability. Single-gas adsorption isotherms reveal that MPM-1-TIFSIX exhibits the highest CO2 uptake and CO2 Qst yet reported for an MPM as well as high selectivity towards CO2 vs. CH4 and N2. Modeling studies indicated strong electrostatic interactions between CO2 and the TIFSIX ligands lining the pores of MPM-1-TIFSIX. In addition to dramatically surpassing MPM-1-Cl with regard to CO2 separation performance, MPM-1-TIFSIX exhibits thermal stability up to 568 K and retains its performance even after immersion in water for 24 hrs. Comprehensively, the results presented herein affirm that porous materials featuring inorganic anions and SMCs can exhibit high and selective CO2 uptake, sufficient stability, and facile activation conditions without the drawbacks associated with UMCs and amines, i.e. competitive water adsorption and high regeneration energy, respectively.

Solar energy driven catalytic systems have gained popularity in environmental remediation recently. Various photocatalytic systems have been reported in this regard and most of the photocatalysts are based on well-known semiconducting material, Titanium Dioxide, while some are based on other materials such as Silicon Dioxide and various Zeolites. However, in titania based photocatalysts, titania is actively involved in the catalytic mechanism by absorbing light and generating exitons. Because of this vast popularity of titania in the field of photocatalysis it is believed that photocatalysis mainly occurs via non-localized mechanisms and semiconductors are extremely important. Even though it is still rare, photocatalysis could be localized and possible without use of a semiconductor as well. Thus, to support localized photocatalytic systems, and to compare the activity to titania based systems, degradation of organic air pollutants by nanostructured silica, titania and mixed silica titania systems were studied. New materials were prepared using two different approaches, precipitation technique (xerogel) and aerogel preparation technique. The prepared xerogel samples were doped with both metal (silver) and non-metals (carbon and sulfur) and aerogel samples were loaded with Chromium, Cobalt and Vanadium separately, in order to achieve visible light photocatalytic activity. Characterization studies of the materials were carried out using Nova BET analysis, DR UV-vis spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, etc. Kinetics of the catalytic activities was studied using a Shimadzu GCMS-QP 5000 instrument using a closed glass reactor. All the experiments were carried out in gaseous phase using acetaldehyde as the model pollutant. Kinetic results suggest that chromium doped silica systems are good UV and visible light active photocatalysts. This is a good example for a localized photocatalytic activity. In contrast, our xerogel system shows comparatively high visible light photocatalytic activity for the titania based system, showing the importance of non-localized nature of photocatalysis. The Cobalt doped silica system shows interesting dark catalytic activity towards acetaldehyde and several other pollutants. Thus, in summary, based on the different activities we observed during our studies these materials could be successfully used to improve the quality of both indoor and outdoor air.

Abstract:
Advances in environmental materials are described especially concerning about utilization of natural source and their waste, for example biomass and their re-uses. They strongly support development to sustainable society. So, these classify and demonstrate environmental technologies, which strongly contribute to overcome pollution environment for the purpose of sustainable society. In view point of green chemistry and the related technologies to representative biomasses and inorganic wastes are applying for advanced functional materials. Since biomass and inorganic wastes are very interesting candidates for regenerated materials, it is very meaningful to understand and attention to environmentally and friendly materials and technologies. This is because that an increasing environmental concerns to sustainability.

Abstract:
Liquid low level radioactive effluents, when solidified in e. g. cement matrix, contribute to a significant extent to the waste amount to be disposed of in final repositories. Accordingly, since many years scientists and engineers investigate processes to remove the radioactive nuclides selectively from the effluents, to split the raw solution into two separate fractions: a large fraction with activity concentrations below the limits for free release; and a small fraction, containing the activity in concentrated form on e. g. ion exchanger materials (ion exchange has proven to be the most promising method for such “nuclide separation”). The challenge to be taken up is: When (and this is most often the case) the effluent contains organic materials and complexing agents, the formation of e. g. the 60-Co-EDTA complex prohibits its fixation to the ion exchangers. Accordingly the complexing agent needs to be removed or destroyed. The Institute for Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences has applied the method of hydrothermal treatment (at elevated temperature and pressure, 200 °C, 200 bar), supported by Hydrogen Peroxide oxidation, to allow virtually complete removal of radioactive nuclides on inorganic ion exchangers. Pilot plants have been operated successfully in Russian power stations, and an operational plant has been designed. The method is being extended for an interesting and promising application: spent organic ion exchange resins, loaded up to the medium activity level, represent a serious disposal problem. With the hydrothermal process, in a process cycle, the activity can be stripped from the resins, the organic content is destroyed, and the activity is fixed on an inorganic absorber, well suited for final disposal.

Abstract:
Abstract Melting gels are a class of hybrid organic-inorganic, silica-based sol-gels which are solid below their glass transition temperatures, near room temperature, but show thermoplastic behavior when heated. While this phase change can be repeated multiple times, heating the gel past its consolidation temperature, typically above 130 °C, initiates an irreversible reaction that produces highly crosslinked glassy organic/inorganic materials via hydrolysis and polycondensation. This ability makes melting gels uniquely compatible with processing techniques inaccessible to other sol-gels. By properly tuning their properties, it should be possible to create protective coatings for electronics and anti-corrosive coatings for metals that are highly hydrophobic and insulating. However, melting gel consolidation reactions are highly dependent on charge interactions, raising the question of how these materials will respond to a processing technique, like electrospray deposition (ESD), which is dependent on charge delivery. In this study, we focus on the role that substrate temperature and charge polarity play on film morphology, consolidation chemistry, and surface properties when processing via ESD. Optical images, film thickness measurements, and FTIR were used to characterize the sprayed melting gel with the goal of developing a robust processing space for producing highly cross linked, hydrophobic, dielectric coatings.

Abstract:
This report presents a statistical analysis of the Regulated Substances Library (RSL) developed by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The RSL is comprised of surficial soil chemistry data obtained from rights-of-way subsurface soil sampling conducted for routine preliminary site investigations. The 3.7-million-record RSL database is compared with four independent studies of inorganic soil constituents of naturally occurring soils in Illinois. A selection of 22 inorganic soil analytes are examined in this study: Al, Sb, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Ca, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mg, Mn, Hg, Ni, K, Se, Na, Tl, V, and Zn. RSL database summary statistics, mean, median, minimum, maximum, 5th percentile, and 95th percentile, are determined for Illinois counties and for recognized environmental concern, non-recognized environmental concern, and de minimis site contamination classifications. The RSL database at a 95% confidence level is compared with current and proposed thresholds for defining naturally occurring soil concentrations for the selected analytes. The revised thresholds proposed by Cahill in 2017 are predominantly larger than the current standards found in the Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives rules and are in better agreement with observed distributions of soil concentrations for both naturally occurring and RSL soils. A notable exception is antimony (Sb), for which Cahill proposed a reduced threshold similar in magnitude to the median for many Illinois Department of Transportation districts.
