A new pyrazolotriazole derivative, namely, 1-acetyl-6-methyl-1H-pyrazolo 3,2-c1,2,4triazole (APT) was synthesized. The corrosion inhibition performance of APT on carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid ...solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The results showed that the inhibition efficiency of APT increases with concentration and attains its maximum of 93% at 10−3 M. The potentiodynamic polarization study suggests that APT acts as mixed type inhibitor. The EIS studies show that APT produces a covering layer at the metal/electrolyte interface. The adsorption of this compound on steel surfaces followed a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. DFT calculations at the B3LYP level of theory and the analyses of frontier orbitals allow the determination of the active adsorbed sites of APT on the metal surface, and molecular dynamics simulations further illustrate the most reasonable adsorption configuration.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the photocatalytic properties and chemical durability of the CaO-B2O3-V2O5 glasses system. The latter were synthesized by the melt-quenching technique. The ...amorphous nature of the prepared borovanadate glasses has been confirmed with X-ray diffraction. The chemical durability measured from their weights before and after immersion in deionized water and hydrochloric acid indicated that replacing V2O5 with B2O3 improved the chemical durability. The observed increases in chemical durability might be explained by the increase in the glass transition temperature, due to stronger bonding in the structural network. The photocatalytic performance was assessed by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under irradiation, and the evolution of dye degradation was analyzed by UV-visible spectrometry. The vanadium content in the glass, the amount of catalyst, and the initial dye concentration showed a variable effect on the degradation of the MB dye. The photodegradation of methylene blue by the photocatalysts was found to follow pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. The photocatalytic activity for all the prepared photocatalysts showed a higher degradation performance, and the results indicated that 40 CaO-30 B2O3-30 V2O5 has the highest removal efficiency of about 99% in 180 min.

, the mean planes of the phenyl and triazole rings are nearly perpendicular to one another as a result of the intramolecular C—H...O and C—H...π(ring) ...interactions. In the crystal, layers parallel to (101) are generated by O—H...N, N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds. The layers are connected by inversion-related pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The experimental molecular structure is close to the gas-phase geometry-optimized structure calculated by DFT methods. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important interaction involving hydrogen in the title compound is the H...H contact. The contribution of the H...O, H...N, and H...H contacts are 13.6, 16.1, and 54.6%, respectively.
New calcium borovanadate glass containing manganese ions within the system x Mn2O3-(30-x) V2O5-50 B2O3-20 CaO has been elaborated* in this work using melt quench process. The primary objective of ...this research is to examine the influence of introducing Mn2O3 upon the various properties of the elaborated glass specimens including physical, thermal, structural, optical and magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction indicated that the samples prepared were amorphous. The variation in density and molar volume revealed that the structure of the glass matrix cross-links and becomes more compact with increasing Mn2O3 content, which is confirmed when the glass transition temperature is increased. Furthermore, in order to check the group constitution of our glasses, a structural study was carried out using infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The optical characteristics of our vitreous materials were analyzed by UV solid, and the results of the band gap energy and refractive index values revealed an enhancement of non-bridging oxygen atoms (NBOs) with rising Mn2O3 concentration, also suggests that manganese acts as a structure modifier. The low Urbach energy values are an indication that the structure of our glasses is stable and uniform. The magnetic investigation highlighted the presence of the predominant antiferromagnetic order in the glass samples studied, which becomes stronger with the incorporation of more manganese ions into the structure.
