Abstract
In this study, the aqueous leaf extract of Hyoscyamus muticus L Plant leaf was prepared using three methods: maceration (MAC), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE). Then, the extracts were used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in an environmentally friendly approach. The characterization of the synthesized Ag NPs was carried out by various techniques. The XRD results confirmed the successful synthesis of nano-sized Ag crystals with spherical structure. The SEM images showed the formation of Ag NPs, which were smaller than 75 nm. The UV–Vis studies showed an obvious absorption peak for Ag NPs between 400 and 500 nm, with a clear peak around 450 nm for all samples. The elemental analysis using the EDS technique confirmed the presence of silver in the synthesized Ag NPs. Furthermore, the effect of different concentrations of Ag NPs was investigated on hatching and second-stage juvenile (J2s) mortality of Meloidogyne javanica, under controlled conditions. The results showed that increasing concentrations of Ag NPs led to higher percentages of inhibition of egg hatching and J2s mortality. Additionally, the Ag NPs synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted extraction with lower lethal concentration were found to be more toxic to M. javanica than the extract prepared by soaking. According to the results, Ag NPs showed a stronger inhibitory effect on M. javanica egg hatching and J2s mortality compared to the total extracts and chemically synthesized Ag NPs. Also, the lowest LC50 was observed for the Ag NPs synthesized using the plant extract as: UAE > MAE (180 w) > MAE (90 w) > MAC methods. The highest inhibition of egg hatch occurred at 0.5% v/v of Ag NPs after 72 h and remained consistent after 120 h.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
