Green Hydrogen Generation Utilizing Efficient Phthalocyanine-Based Electrocatalyst Mahesh Itagi, Mohammed Yaseen, Mohammed Imadadulla, T. Manjuraj, Young‐Ho Ahn Chemsuschem, 2026 Energy production and use must be in balance with the ecosystem since it is a necessary part of life. Among the many renewable and non‐renewable energy sources, hydrogen is considered a sustainable and green energy source. Sustainable hydrogen production will be required for the hydrogen economy, and this can be accomplished by electrochemically splitting water with efficient electrocatalysts. Because of their significant catalytic activity, low overpotential, and low energy consumption, platinum (Pt) and Pt‐based catalysts are utilized. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which uses pricey Pt catalysts to electrocatalytically reduce water to molecular hydrogen, has the potential to be a sustainable energy source; however, its limited availability and high cost limit its practical applicability. As a result, a simple, low‐cost, stable, and environmentally friendly thiol‐substituted cobalt phthalocyanine (MTCoPc) was utilized as an electrocatalyst for HER activity. MTCoPc/SP (SP: super‐p) hybrid composite electrocatalyst demonstrated good HER catalytic performance in 1 M KOH, with overpotentials of 110 and 169 mV at current densities of 10 and 50 mA cm −2 , respectively. The MTCoPc/SP hybrid composite's remarkable activity toward HER and long‐term stability make it a potential electrocatalyst for real‐time application.
Synthesis and Structure of Novel Ruthenium(II) Mixed Ligands Complexes: Density Functional Theory, DNA Binding and Antimicrobial Studies via PACT Therapy T. Manjuraj, P.N. Prashanth Kumar, B.C. Vasantha Kumar, Mohammed Imadadulla, H.P. Shivarudrappa, Saleem M. Desai, M.R. Lokesh Asian Journal of Chemistry, 2025 Ruthenium(II)-based complexes exhibited efficient light-harvesting capabilities that facilitate the enhanced generation of hydroxyl radicals, thereby significantly promoting antibacterial activity. The novel Ru(II) complexes can be represented as [Ru(II)(bfq)(bipy)]Cl2 (Ru-L1), [Ru(II)(bpdc)(bipy)2]Cl2 (Ru-L2) and [Ru(II)(bfq)(NCS)2]Cl2 (Ru-L3), where bfq = benzofuranquinoline carboxylic acid and bipy = bipyridine. The synthesized Ru(II) complexes were characterized with 1H NMR, IR and UV-visible techniques. The physical measurements such as viscosity measurements and denaturation thermal studies explore the behaviour of DNA binding of the synthesized Ru(II) complexes. In this context, the studies on DFT, molecular electrostatic potential and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy against Escherichia coli cells were also conducted. The obtained results show significant inhibition growth of bacterial cells was determined via PACT therapy.
