12 membered Schiff base macrocyclic ligands, 6,7,14,15-tetra phenyl-1,2,3,4, 4a,8a, 9,10, 11,12, 12a,16a-dodecahydro dibenzo [b,h] [1,4,7,10] tetraazacyclododecine L1, and 14 membered Schiff base macrocyclic ligands, 6,8,15,17-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4, 4a,7,9a, 10,11,12,13,13a,16,18a-tetra decahydro dibenzo[b,i] [1, 4,8,11] cyclotetradecine tetraaza L2, 7,16-bis(2,4- dichloro benz ylidene)-6,8,15,17-tetra methyl-1,2,3,4, 4a,7,9a, 10, 11,12, 13, 13a,16,18a-tetra deca hydro dibenzo [b,i] [1,4,8,11] tetra azacyclo tetra decine L3 and 6,8,15, 17-tetramethyl-1,2,3, 4,4a,9a,10, 11,12,13,13a,18a-dodecahydro dibenzo [b,i] [1,4,8, 11] tetraazacyclo tetradecine (7,16-diylidene) bis(methanylyli dene) bis (N,N-dimethylaniline) L4 were synthesized by condensation reaction between diketone and aliphatic diamines. The metal complexes of the types, [ML1Cl2], [ML2Cl2], [ML3Cl2] and [ML4Cl2] [M= Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Hg(II), and Fe(II)] were prepared by interaction of ligands, L1, L2, L3 and L4 with metal(II) ions. The ligands and their complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements and IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV–Vis spectral studies. The thermal stability of the complexes was also studied by TGA analyses. These studies show that all the complexes have octahedral arrangement around the metal ions. We used CB-Dock, a novel blind docking technique that aims to improve docking precision. With the aid of the cutting-edge docking program Autodock Vina, software online, molecular docking studies were used to evaluate the biological significance of the synthesized ligands and identify the probable and efficient binding mechanisms between the various ligands and the active site of the receptor protein. Affinity binding of both Ligand L3 and L4 to Penicillin binding protein 2x (chain B) with PDB 1PYY were much better than to Penicillin binding protein 2B (chain A) with PDB 1WAE due to the presence of hydrogen and halogen bonds. Therefore, they can be more recommended for drug design study to inhibit bacterial growth due their bioavailability. The biological activities of all compounds were evaluated like in-vitro antioxidant activity or percentage free radical scavenging effect via DPPH method against standard ascorbic acid and in vitro anticancer activity via MTT assay against colon cancer cell lines. Results of the biological activities showed that complex CuL3Cl2 exhibited the highest anti-cancer activity against colon cancer cell line i.e. 70.72±6.3 μg/ml among other copper complexes whereas compound CuL3Cl2 showed best antioxidant activity against ascorbic acid i.e. 75.07±1.96 μg/ml. While the biological activities showed that complex CuL4Cl2 exhibited the highest anti-cancer activity against colon cancer cell line i.e. 42.05±7.4 μg/ml among other copper complexes whereas compound CuL4Cl2 showed best antioxidant activity against ascorbic acid i.e. 65.47±1.37 μg/ml.
The present work aimed to study the efficiency of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane for heavy metal removal from wastewater and study the factors affecting the performance of these two membranes: feed concentrations for heavy metal ions, pressure, and flow rate. The experimental results showed, heavy metals concentration in permeate increase with raise in feed concentrations, decline with increase in flow rate. The raise of pressure, heavy metals concentration decreases for RO membrane, but for NF membrane the concentration decrease and then at high pressure increase. The rejection percentage for chromium in NF and RO is 99.7% and 99.9%, for copper is 98.4% and 99.3%, for zinc is 97.9% and 99.5%, for nickel is 97.2% and

A new class of biologically active nanocomposites and modified polymers based on poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with some organic compounds [II, IV, V and VI] were synthesized using silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). All compounds were synthesized using nucleophilic substitution interactions and characterized by FTIR, DSC and TGA. The biological activity of the modified polymers was evaluated against: gram (+) (staphylococcus aureus) and gram (-): (Es cherichia coli bacteria). Antimicrobial films are developed based on modified poly (vinyl alcohol) MPVA and Ag-NPs nanoparticles. The nanocomposites and modified polymers showed better antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli (Gram negative) than against Staphyloc

Tin Selenide (SnSe) Nano crystalline thin films of thickness 400±20 nm were deposited on glass substrate by thermal evaporation technique at R.T under a vacuum of ∼ 2 × 10− 5 mbar to study the effect of annealing temperatures (as-deposited, 100, 150 and 200) °C on its structural, surface morphology and optical properties. The films structure was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) which showed that all the films have polycrystalline in nature and orthorhombic structure, with the preferred orientation along the (111) plane. These films was synthesized of very fine crystallites size of (14.8-24.5) nm, the effect of annealing temperatures on the cell parameters, crystallite size and dislocation density were observed.

Thin film solar cells are preferable to the researchers and in applications due to the minimum material usage and to the rising of their efficiencies. In particular, thin film solar cells, which are designed based one transition metal chalcogenide materials, paly an essential role in solar energy conversion market. In this paper, transition metals with chalcogenide Nickel selenide termed as (NiSe2/Si) are synthesized. To this end, polycrystalline NiSe2 thin films are deposited through the use of vacuum evaporation technique under vacuum of 2.1x10-5 mbar, which are supplied to different annealing temperatures. The results show that under an annealed temperature of 525 K,
