The catalyst was characterized well by elemental analysis, FT-IR, AAS, DRS UV-Vis, XRD, BET, SEM and TGA techniques. The catalytic activity of the supported metal complex was studied in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols using t-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. The effects of reaction temperature, solvent and the amount of catalyst as well as the recyclability of the catalyst were investigated.

The bentonite used to prepare the nanocomposites was a good adsorbent for various molecules in aqueous media in stirred tank reactor. But the challenge was the obtention of porous bentonite composite columns for industrial applications. The primary composite, silica-resin, was prepared by the sol-gel precursor mixture of the tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and a phenolic resin, made up the gel which is then dried and cured at 180 °C. Bentonite was added to the precursor mixture obtaining the, silica-resin-bentonite composite, and also other potencial adsorbent, carbon, was added obtaining the silica-resin-bentonite-carbon composite. The different composites were mineralogical and structurally evaluated by X-ray diffraction, Infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform, Differential thermal analyses and thermogravimetric analyses. The textural characterization was performed by Adsorption of nitrogen (Sg-BET), Mercury intrusion porosimetry and Scanning electron microscopy. The comparison of the characteristics and properties between the composites evidenced that the addition of bentonite modify the solgel process and interferes in the composite cured process, so that, modify the mesoporosity and macroporosity of the composite. But, there is a maximum clay limit to obtain an homogeneous monolith. The addition of carbon decreases the porosity of the composite to a greater extent when the granulometry is greater.

The charge transfer coefficient, a, and the charge transfer rate constant, k s , of RB adsorbed on MWCNT-GCE were calculated and found to be 0.44 ± 0.01 Hz and 1.9 ± 0.05 Hz, respectively. The catalysis of the electroreduction of H 2 O 2 by RB-MWCNT-GCE is described. The RB-MWCNT-GCE shows a dramatic increase in the peak current and a decrease in the overvoltage of H 2 O 2 electroreduction in comparison with that seen at an RB modified GCE, MWCNT modified GCE, and activated GCE. The kinetic parameters such as a and the heterogeneous rate constant, k', for the reduction of H 2 O 2 at RB-MWCNT-GCE surface were determined using cyclic voltammetry. The detection limit of 0.27mM and three linear calibration ranges were obtained for H 2 O 2 determination at the RB-MWCNT-GCE surface using an amperometry method. In addition, using the newly developed sensor, H 2 O 2 was determined in real samples with satisfactory results.

The sulfonamides have the general formula R-SO2NHR', in which the functional group is bound to an aromatic, heterocycle, aliphatic, and so on. The nature of the R and R' moiety is variable, starting with hydrogen and ranging to a variety of moieties incorporating organic compounds such as coumarin, isoxazole, tetrazole, pyrazole, pyrrole, and so many other pharmaceutical active scaffolds that lead to a considerable range of hybrids named as sulfonamide hybrids. Part A of this review presents the most recent advances in designing and developing two-component sulfonamide hybrids containing coumarin, indole, quinoline, isoquinoline, chalcone, pyrazole/pyrazoline, quinazoline, pyrimidine, thiazole, benzothiazole, and pyridine between 2015 and 2020. Specifically, the authors review the scientific reports on the synthesis and biological activity of this kind of hybrid agent.
