Nanostructured AgBr loaded TiO2: An efficient sunlight active photocatalyst for degradation of Reactive Red 120

The AgBr loaded TiO2 catalyst was prepared by a feasible approach with AgBr and tetraisopropyl orthotitanate and characterized by BET surface area measurement, diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectra (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis. The results of characterization reveal that AgBr loaded TiO2 has a nanostructure. Formation of the nanostructure in AgBr loaded TiO2 results in substantial shifting of the absorption edge of TiO2 to red and enhancement of visible light absorption. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements reveal that AgBr loaded TiO2 has a higher photoconductivity than prepared TiO2 due to higher separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs. Cyclic voltammetric studies reveal enhanced conductivity in AgBr loaded TiO2, which causes an increase in its photocatalytic activity. AgBr loaded TiO2 exhibited a higher photocatalytic activity than TiO2-P25 and prepared TiO2 in the photodegradation of Reactive Red 120 (RR 120)

2-Amino-4-methylpyridinium 2-nitrobenzoate

In the title molecular salt, C6H9N2+·C7H4NO4−, the original pyridine N atom of 2-amino-4-methylpyridine is protonated and the carboxylic acid group of nitrobenzoic acid is deprotonated. In the crystal, the ions are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [001]. The chains are linked via C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to the bc plane

Morpholine–4-nitrophenol (1/2)

In the title adduct, 2C6H5NO3·C4H9NO, the morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the two nitrophenol rings is 69.47 (9)°. The nitro groups attached to the benzene rings make dihedral angles of 3.37 (16) and 3.14 (13)° in the two molecules of nitrophenol. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H...O, O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and further consolidated by C—H...O interactions, resulting in a three-dimensional network
