Novel cobalt complexes with glyoximes : synthesis, physicochemical analysis and biological study

Azomethine derivatives have several applications, especially as reagents for the determination of transition metal ions. Furthermore these ligands and their cobalt complexes were also reported to possess biological activities, such as antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative activities as well as antifungal inhibition potential [1]. Another reason for using metal-containing compounds as structural scaffolds is related to the kinetic stability of their coordination spheres in the biological environment. Metallic ions have been shown to play important role in the biological activity of different compounds in such away that, in some cases, activity is enhanced or only takes place in the presence of these ions [2]. In our research new cobalt(III) complexes were synthesized with -glyoximes, azides, amines, thiocyanate and halogens, such as [Co(Me-propyl-GlyoxH)2(N3)(amine)], [Co(Mepentyl-GlyoxH)2(N3)(amine)], [Co(Et-propyl-GlyoxH)2(N3)(amine)], [Co(Et-propylGlyoxH)2(Br)(amine)], [Co(Et-propyl-GlyoxH)2(SCN)(amine)], H[Co(Et-propylGlyoxH)2(SCN)2], [Co(phenyl-Me-GlyoxH)2(amine)2]I, [Co(Et-propyl-GlyoxH)2(amine)2]I, [Co(Et-Bu-GlyoxH)2(amine)2]I, where GlyoxH = mono deprotonated glyoxime, and the used amines: imidazole, 3-hydroxy-aniline, lepidine, 3,5-dimethyl-pyridine, di(n-butyl)-amine, diisopropyl-amine, 2-amino-pyrimidine, diphenyl-amine, 2-picoline, 3-picoline. The Co(II)- acetate salt dissolved in water and mixed with the glyoxime alcoholic solution was oxidized by air bubbling, then the corresponding diamines and the other complexing agents were added. The molecular structure of our products was investigated by IR, UV–VIS spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), thermoanalytical measurements (TG-DTG-DTA), and powder XRD. The biological activity, like antimicrobial effect, was studied for a few bacteria

Novel iron complexes with glyoximes, schiff bases and boric acid derivatives : synthesis, physico-chemical analysis and biological study

Iron(II) clathrochelate complexes obtained with glyoximes are macrobicyclic ligand systems, which completely encapsulate the metal ion, and are formed under mild conditions with high yields [1].

Synthesis of novel Pt complexes with α-glyoximes, schiff bases and their physical-chemical and biological study

Platinum-complexes permanently play an important role in the medical treatment of tumor cells. Since Pt has a soft-type Lewis acidic character, it forms the most stable complexes with S, P, N and I donor atoms, resulting planar (cisplatine) or octahedral (satraplatine) arrangement of ligands. In our research, new platinum complexes were synthesized with α-glyoximes, such as [Pt(diethyl-glyoxH)2(amine)2], where glyoxH = mono deprotonated glyoxime, amine = imidazole, 2-amino-pyrimidine or 3-hydroxy-aniline, and with Schiff bases, such as [Pt(3-heptanone)2(en)], [Pt(3-heptanone)2(1,2-pn)], [Pt(3-heptanone)2(1,3-pn)] (en = ethylenediamine, pn = propylenediamine). The Schiff bases were obtained with the condensation reaction between 3-heptanone and the corresponding diamines. The molecular structure of our products has been investigated by IR, UV–VIS and NMR spectroscopy, MS, thermoanalytical measurements (TG-DTG-DTA), and powder XRD. The biological activity study of compounds revealed their possible application in medical point of view since some of them proved to act as antibacterial agents and potential anticancer drugs. On the other hand, some members of the family of complexes can play catalytic role in organic chemistry transformations

Fault Type Diagnosis of the WWTP Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Based on Fisher Discriminant Analysis and Assessment of Associated Environmental and Economic Impact

Sensor failures are common events in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations, resulting in ineffective monitoring and inappropriate plant management. Efficient aeration control is typically achieved by the dissolved oxygen (DO) control, and its associated sensor becomes critical to the whole WWTP’s reliable and economical operation. This study presents the Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) used for fault diagnosis of the DO sensor of a currently operating municipal WWTP. Identification of the bias, drift, wrong gain, loss of accuracy, fixed value, complete failure minimum and maximum types of DO sensor fault was investigated. The FDA-proposed methodology proved efficiency and promptitude in obtaining the diagnosis decision. The consolidated fault identification showed an accuracy of 87.5% correct identification of the seven faulty and normal considered classes. Depending on the fault type, the results of the diagnosing time varied from 2.5 h to 16.5 h during the very first day of the fault appearance and were only based on observation data not included in the training data set. The latter aspect reveals the potential of the methodology to learn from incomplete data describing the faults. The rank of the fault type detection promptitude was: bias, fixed value, complete failure minimum, complete failure maximum, drift, wrong gain and loss of accuracy. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted during wastewater treatment, electrical energy quantity in association with costs spent in the WWTP water line and clean water effluent quality were ranked and assessed for the normal operation and for each of the DO sensor faulty regimes. Both for CO2 and N2O, the on-site emissions showed the most significant GHG contribution, accounting for about three-quarters of the total emissions. The complete failure maximum, fixed value and loss of accuracy were the DO sensor faults with the highest detrimental impact on GHG-released emissions. The environmental and economic study reveals the incentives of the proposed DO sensor faults identification for the WWTP efficient and environmentally friendly operation
