Several lanthanide (III) complexes {Ln: La, 1; Sm, 2; Eu, 3; Gd, 4; Tb, 5; Dy, 6} with the Schiff base ligand, N'-?(2-?methoxybenzylidene)?-?2-pyridinecarbohydrazide, L, have been synthesized. These complexes having general formula LaL(NO3)3.xH2O and LnL2(NO3)3.xH2O, and the ligand L have been characterized by elemental analysis, spectral analysis (IR, 1H and 13C NMR), molar conductivity and thermogravimetric analysis. In the proposed structure of complex 1, La(III) ion is ten coordinate. Six coordination sites are satisfied by three bi-dentate nitrate ions, one site is occupied by H2O and the remaining three positions are occupied by ONO belonging to one neutral L. In contrast the lanthanide ion in the proposed structures of complexes 2 - 6, is twelve coordinated by two three bi-dentate ONO L and three bi-dentate nitrate anions. The photophysical properties of L and 1 – 6 in DMF solution have been investigated and reported. Complexes 1 - 6 catalyze the oxidation of aniline 1a and its derivatives 1b - 1 g using H2O2 as an oxygen source at an ambient conditions. Aniline is selectively converted to nitroso-benzene in the presence of complexes 2 and 3. Complexes 4 – 6 gave mixtures of nitrozo- and azoxybenzenes. With complex 1 a mixture of nitroso-, azoxy- and azobenzenes were obtained. Among the substrates tested, the best result was obtained in the case of 1e with 78.6% conversion and 100% selectivity for the nitroso-benzene in the presence of 4 as a catalyst.

Valuable aromatic nitrogen compounds can be synthesized by reduction of nitroarenes. Herein, we report electrochemical reduction of nitroarenes by a protocol that uses inert graphite felt as electrodes and ammonia as a reductant. Depending on the cell voltage and the solvent, the protocol can be used to obtain aromatic azoxy, azo, and hydrazo compounds, as well as aniline derivatives with high chemoselectivities. The protocol can be readily scaled up to >10 g with no decrease in yield, demonstrating its potential synthetic utility. A stepwise cathodic reduction pathway was proposed to account for the generations of products in turn.

Photocatalytic organic conversions involving a hydrogen transfer (HT) step have attracted much attention, but the efficiency and selectivity under visible light irradiation still needs to be significantly enhanced. Here we have developed a noble metal-free, basic-site engineered bismuth oxybromide [Bi24O31Br10(OH)] that can accelerate the photocatalytic HT step in both reduction and oxidation reactions, i.e., nitrobenzene to azo/azoxybenzene, quinones to quinols, thiones to thiols, and alcohols to ketones under visible light irradiation and ambient conditions. Remarkably, quantum efficiencies of 42% and 32% for the nitrobenzene reduction can be reached under 410 and 450 nm irradiation, respectively. The Bi24O31Br10(OH) photocatalyst also exhibits excellent performance in up-scaling and stability under visible light and even solar irradiation, revealing economic potential for industrial applications.
