This research used different types of ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy analysis technologies, including differential log-transformed spectra coupled with spectral slope calculation, and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) analysis to investigate the binding characteristics between Pb and DOM in the presence of Zn and Cu, respectively. The results indicate that the addition both of Zn 2+or Cu 2+can reduce the binding of DOM to Pb 2+, with the effect of Cu 2+being the most obvious. Specifically, significant changes were evident in the differential log-transformed absorbance at higher Zn2+/Cu2+ concentrations, including modified spectral shapes, absorption wavelength fluctuation, and differential absorption intensity changes. The differential log-transformed absorbance spectral slopes (∆S350-400) exhibited a positive correlation with the predicted NICA-Donnan model value in a wavelength range of 350–400 nm. This suggested that ∆S350-400 served as an indicator for assessing the complexation characteristics of Pb and DOM binding in the presence of Zn2+ and Cu2+, respectively. The 2D-COS spectral results showed that the presence of Zn2+/Cu2+ changed the binding order of the DOM functional groups in response to Pb2+. This study revealed that Zn2+ and Cu2+ competed with Pb2+ for complex sites on the DOM surface in different ways, altering the ability of Pb2+ to bind with DOM. The results suggest that using differential log-transformed spectroscopy combined with ∆S350-400 and 2D-COS analyses is a promising approach to understanding the mechanisms of Zn2+/Cu2+ effects on Pb-DOM interactions, which may provide new insights into the prevention, control, and remediation of environmental Pb pollution.","PeriodicalId":16974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Saudi Chemical Society","volume":"29 1-2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s44442-025-00001-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147332242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of different ITO NC concentrations on physical properties was examined through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical absorption, transmission, reflection, fluorescence, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Integrating ITO NCs into the PMMA matrix showed enhanced thermal insulation capabilities of PMMA films while maintaining their transparency to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Maintaining this balance is crucial because it enables the films to selectively filter and reflect infrared radiation leading to lower greenhouse temperatures while still allowing the essential light needed for plant growth to pass through.

The proposed catalyst was characterized to confirm its structure and composite using characteristics tests. 2,3-disubstituted quinazoline-4(3H)-one framework has been successfully prepared through two paths: reflux and probe ultrasound irradiation (US-probe, 40 W). The efficiency of the two various techniques was comparatively studied on the fundamental properties of the proposed catalyst. According to the obtained results, the US-probe method (due to the cavitation effect) provides favorable reaction conditions (saving energy and time). In this comparative study, SiO₂-decorated nano-scale TiO₂ composites were selected and used as a heterogeneous catalyst in a US-probe-assisted multicomponent reaction of isatoic anhydride, various aryl aldehydes, and amine components (aryl amines, aliphatic amines, and ammonium acetate). In the following, a variety of pharmaceutical 2,3-disubstituted quinazoline-4(3H)-one derivative were prepared under US-probe conditions and obtained excellent yield (90–97 %) within short reaction time (up to 10 min) due to substantial synergic effect between US-probe and SiO₂-decorated nano-scale TiO₂ composites. Besides, chemical/thermal stability, eco-friendliness, and recoverability of the catalyst (7 runs) are other outstanding advantages of this research. Using the drug design approach and computational chemistry, the antibacterial attributes of prepared products were finally perused and checked. All synthesized products have a molecular mass of less than 500 g/mol. Computational chemistry data revealed that prepared products bind well to the agonist at the active site of the P37432 protein (docking score between −5.044 and −3.625), which shows within the inactivation of this protein throughout ailment therapy.

The synthesized catalysts were designated as Cr-T/η-Al₂O₃, where T represents Ca, Mg, Sr, and Ba.
