In this research, we rationally designed and synthesized quantum dots self-decorated SnIn 4 S 8 /g-C 3 N 4 (QDs-SISCN) nanocomposites by in situ anchoring quantum dot (QDs) self-decorated SnIn 4 S 8 (SIS) nanosheets onto the surface of mesoporous graphite carbon nitride (CN) nanosheets in a mixed solvothermal environment. The photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) was used to assess their photocatalytic activity. In this framework, the construction of CN nanosheets-supported QDs-decorated SIS homojunctions can integrate the advantages of both homojunctions and heterojunctions . Benefiting from those favourable properties, the QDs-SISCN nanocomposites exhibit superior photocatalytic activity towards 4-NA reduction under visible-light irradiation (λ > 400) as a result of the optimizied amount of CN nanosheets added. The recycling experiments also reveal high stability of the QDs-SISCN nanocomposites during photocatalytic reactions for 4-NA reduction. Moreover, the investigation of the photocatalytic mechanism from systematic characterizations, including measurements of the photocurrent response, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photoluminescence (PL) indicate that the improved separation efficiency of charge carriers is a critical parameter for the enhanced photocatalytic activity for 4-NA reduction. We expect this research to provide a promising path to the design and synthesis of highly efficient hybrid photocatalysts for functional-group transformations.

A novel molecularly imprinted fluorescent sensor for the determination of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) was synthesized via free radical polymerization with 3-[(7-methoxy-2-oxo-2 H -chromen-4-yl)methyl]-1-vinyl-1 H -imidazol-3-ium bromide as the fluorescence functional monomer, 4-NA as the template molecule, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker, and 2,2′-azo(bisisobutyronitrile) as the initiator. The obtained fluorescent poly(ionic liquid) was characterized through Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, and fluorescence spectrophotometry. The fluorescent sensor had high fluorescence intensity, short detection time (0.5 min), good selectivity, and excellent sensitivity (limit of detection = 0.8 nM) for 4-NA, with good linear relationships of 2.67–10,000 nM. The practical applicability of the fluorescence sensor in detecting 4-NA in industrial wastewater and spiked environmental water was demonstrated, and a satisfactory result was obtained.

The development of green procedure for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has gained great interest in the field of nanotechnology. Biological synthetic routes are considered to be environmentally benign and cost-effective. In the present study, the feasibility of AuNPs’ synthesis via intracellular protein extract (IPE) of Pycnoporus sanguineus was explored. The characteristics of generated particles of formation, crystalline nature, and morphology and dimension were analyzed by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. UV-vis spectra exhibited strong absorption peaks in 520 to 560 nm, indicating the formation of AuNPs. XRD analysis revealed that the formed AuNPs were purely crystalline in nature. TEM observation showed that AuNPs with various shapes including spherical, pseudo-spherical, triangular, truncated triangular, pentagonal, and hexagonal, ranging from several to several hundred nanometers, were synthesized under different conditions. The average size of AuNPs decreased from 61.47 to 29.30 nm as the IPE addition increased from 10 to 80 mL. When the initial gold ion concentration changed from 0.5 to 2.0 mM, the average size rose from 25.88 to 51.99 nm. As in the case of solution pH, the average size was 84.29 nm with solution pH of 2.0, which diminished to 6.07 nm with solution pH of 12.0. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis implied that the functional groups including hydroxyl, amine, and carboxyl were involved in the reduction of gold ions and stabilization of AuNPs. The catalysis results showed that 0.019 mg of AuNPs with average size of 6.07 nm could catalyze the complete degradation of 12.5 μmol of 4-nitroaniline within 6 min and the degradation rate increased drastically with the addition of AuNPs. All the results suggested that the IPE of P. sanguineus could be potentially applied for the eco-friendly synthesis of AuNPs.

Facing the requirement of modern industrial development, selective reduction of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) into p-phenylenediamine (PPD) via a facile, economic and eco-friendly photocatalysis technique has attracted more and more attention in recent years. In this study, ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS) nanosheets grew in-situ on the surface of TiO 2 hollowspheres through a hydrothermal method and formed a direct Z-scheme heterojunction composite, which exhibited exceedingly better photocatalytic 4-NA reduction performance than bare ZIS and TiO 2 . Such enhancement was mainly attributed to the dissimilar dimensionalities, intimate contact, and matchable band edge positions between ZIS and TiO 2 semiconductors. Moreover, the substantial mechanism for the photocatalytic reaction in the ZIS/TiO 2 system was reasonably proposed. Inspired by recent applications of the Z-scheme heterostructured materials in solar energy conversion and artificial photosynthesis, this work would arouse an increasing interest in designing more Z-scheme photocatalyst systems with high efficiency and extensive applications.

A strategy of dissolving chlorine gas in 1,2-dichloroethane as the chlorine source for a liquid–liquid two-phase chlorination reaction was proposed in this study to resolve the problems of low efficiency, strong corrosivity, and poor controllability of traditional gas–liquid chlorination. Taking the chlorination reaction of 4-nitroaniline to synthesize 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline as an example, the feasibility of the liquid–liquid chlorination method was verified in a microflow system. It can achieve 98.3% conversion and 90.6% selectivity within 1.6 s under the optimized reaction conditions. The recycling of HCl and 1,2-dichloroethane solvents was facile, and after three runs of recycling the chlorination reaction can still maintain good conversion and selectivity. The influence of feed mixing and the reaction networks on chlorination of 4-nitroaniline were also explored as a guide for process design. Compared with the traditional gas–liquid chlorination, the reaction efficiency of liquid–liquid two-phase chlorination is greatly improved, and it has a prospect for industrial application in terms of safety and controllability.

Photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline to p -phenylenediamine over TiO 2 , ZnO, PbBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 and CdS photocatalysts in the presence of CH 3 OH was investigated under light irradiation ( hv ≥ band gap) upon purging with N 2 . Compared with PbBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 and CdS, TiO 2 and ZnO showed photocatalytic activities for the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline. Electron spin resonance analysis results revealed that a methanol radical could be detected in the present of TiO 2 and ZnO. Its formation was attributed to the reaction between the hydroxyl radical and CH 3 OH molecule. The species had strong reductive ability, and therefore could reduce 4-nitroaniline to p -phenylenediamine. Other alcohols (C 2 H 5 OH and i -C 3 H 7 OH) were also found to be efficient additives for the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline. The results of the 2 H-labeled experiments indicated that the p -phenylenediamine formation was formed by the hydrogen transfer reaction between the 4-nitroaniline and H 2 O molecules. A mechanism was proposed to explain the photoreduction of 4-nitroaniline to p -phenylenediamine in the present alcohols.

CdS photocatalysts with tunable band gaps (2.17–2.32 eV) were successfully prepared by a solvothermal method. Photocatalytic hydrogenation of 4-nitroaniline over the obtained samples was evaluated in the presence of HCO2NH4 as a hole scavenger upon purging with N2 under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). The CdS sample prepared by CdCl2 and sulfur powder in ethylenediamine showed excellent catalytic activity, giving 100% of 4-nitroaniline conversion and 95% of p-phenylenediamine selectivity after 35 min of visible light irradiation. The results of electron spin resonance revealed that its photoexcited holes could efficiently react with HCO2− ions within HCO2NH4 molecules to produce ˙CO2− radicals with strong reductive abilities. Furthermore, photoexcited electrons of the obtained sample exhibited relatively strong reductive abilities as compared to other CdS samples. Therefore, this sample showed the highest catalytic activity among the CdS samples for the photocatalytic hydrogenation of 4-nitroaniline.

4-nitroaniline has been widely used in the production of antioxidants, dyes and pharmaceuticals. A continuous-flow strategy was exploited for the efficient synthesis of 4-nitroaniline through the noncatalytic amination of 4-chloronitrobenzene with aqueous ammonia in a highly controlled and safe manner, in which N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone was selected as the appropriate solvent. Various conditions (reaction temperature, residence time, 4-chloronitrobenzene concentration, molar ratio of ammonia to 4-chloronitrobenzene, presence of base catalyst) were investigated to improve the synthesis of 4-nitroaniline. The Box-Behnken design in response surface methodology was employed for the optimization of reaction conditions, and over 91% yield of 4-nitroaniline could be achieved. Furthermore, a kinetic model was proposed to guide the design and optimization of the synthesis of 4-nitroaniline.

A new spiro compound, C 14 H 13 N 3 O 6 (NHD) was prepared through the reaction of 6,10-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9‑dione with diazotized solution of 4-nitroaniline in ethanol. The structural characteristics of NHD were investigated using spectroscopy (FT-IR, UV-is and 1 H and 13 C NMR) and computational analysis utilizing B3LYP/6–311G(d,p) level. Theoretical and experimental results for optimizing molecular geometry, infrared vibrational frequencies, and UV–Vis spectra were found to be consistent. Hirshfeld surface analysis had been used to explain intermolecular interaction and π···π stacking interactions. 2D fingerprint studies confirmed that O···H/H···O contributions make up the greatest contributors (43.6 %) in NHD. Additionally, (HOMO-LUMO) energies, global reactivity properties, MEP and NBO were investigated at the same level. Finally, NHD is thermally stable up to 195 ℃ according to TG/DTA analysis.

Highly efficient photocatalytic reduction of 4-nitroaniline to p-phenylenediamine over a commercial CdS photocatalyst was observed under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) in water. The conversion of 4-nitroaniline and the selectivity of p-phenylenediamine were ∼100% and ∼98% after 9 min of visible light irradiation, respectively. The photoreduction efficiency of 4-nitroaniline over the CdS photocatalyst remained above 95% in the 5th cycle of testing. Its photocatalytic activity was much higher than those of nitrogen-doped TiO2 and commercial TiO2 photocatalysts. Further experimental results revealed that the ammonium formate and N2 atmosphere were indispensable for the photocatalytic reduction of 4-nitroaniline over the CdS photocatalyst. On the basis of the results of electron spin resonance, photoexcited electrons and ·CO2− radicals were detected in the present system. These species had strong reductive powers, and were therefore able to efficiently reduce 4-nitroaniline to p-phenylenediamine.

Visible-light-initiated organic transformations have received much attention because of low cost, relative safety, and environmental friendliness. In this work, a series of CdS-decorated MIL-68(Fe) nanocomposites (CdS-M68 NCs) have been prepared via a facile room-temperature photodeposition technique in a controlled manner. Importantly, the CdS-M68 NCs exhibit remarkably enhanced photoactivity toward selective reduction of 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) to p -phenylenediamine (PPD) in water under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) as compared to bare CdS and MIL-68(Fe), giving a 4-NA conversion of ∼100% after irradiation for 8 min. The significantly enhanced photoactivity is attributed to the integrated factors of the effective transportation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs and the enhanced visible light absorption intensity. Combining with trapping experiments and ESR analysis, it could be revealed that the photoexcited electrons and CO 2− radicals should be the main active species in the present system. In addition, a possible photocatalytic reduction mechanism has been investigated.

2,6-Dichloro-4-nitroaniline, alias dicloran (DCN), is a broad-spectrum pesticide that can cause irreversible damage to the human body. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a technology for the rapid and convenient detection of DCN. Luminescent metal organic frameworks have attracted extensive attention in the field of sensing and detection due to their excellent optical properties. In this study, two kinds of 2D Cd-MOFs (CdMOF-1 and CdMOF-2) were developed for the detection of residual DCN in the environment. Both CdMOFs exhibit excellent solvent and acid–base stability and can respond to DCN quickly and sensitively in a short time (30 s). CdMOFs not only have good selectivity and anti-interference toward DCN but also have good reusability. Under the conditions of DCN concentrations of 1–15 and 0.3–30 μM, the change in fluorescence intensity of CdMOF-1 and CdMOF-2 showed a good linear relationship with DCN concentration (R2 = 0.999/0.991), and the detection limits were 0.36 and 0.12 μM, respectively. Through ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy (UV–Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime, and density functional theory calculations, it is revealed that the fluorescence quenching mechanisms of DCN for two kinds of Cd-MOFs are competitive absorption and photoinduced electron transfer, and there may be a weak π–π interaction. Finally, it is demonstrated that by using two types of fluorescent CdMOFs to make the fluorescent test paper and detect actual soil, these can be applied to the actual scene and achieve onsite real-time detection.
