  2. Preparation of iron (II) gluconate complex for use in agriculture
    Parisa Rahimi 2026
       The synthesis, characterization and evaluation of iron(II) gluconate complex as a biodegradable chelating agent were systematically investigated for potential agricultural applications. Iron(II) gluconate was synthesized via the controlled reaction of ferrous sulfate with sodium gluconate under optimal pH and temperature conditions to ensure high purity and stability of the resulting complex. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed the coordination of the gluconate ligand to the iron ions through the oxygen donor atoms of the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. In addition, spectrophotometric analysis was used to detect the complex formation and confirmed the interaction between iron ions and gluconate ligands. Atomic absorption spectroscopy provided quantitative confirmation of the iron incorporation in the complex matrix. Experimental results showed that iron(II) gluconate exhibits a stable coordination structure with remarkable solubility and chelation efficiency, comparable to synthetic agents such as EDTA, but with the significant advantage of biodegradability and environmental safety. Consequently, the synthesized iron(II) gluconate complex can be considered as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional synthetic chelates and provide an effective tool for enhancing iron uptake in plants and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in line with environmental protection.

  4. Preparation and characterization of Ca-CeO nanocatalyst by micro emulsion method for biodiesel production
    Galavizh Abdi 2025
       this study, the preparation of heterogeneous Ca-CeO nanocatalyst by microemulsion method and its use as a catalyst in the transesterification reaction for biodiesel production from sunflower oil are investigated. Different variables, including Ca to Ce molar ratios, calcination conditions, reaction temperature and time, alcohol to oil molar ratio, and catalyst to oil weight percentage, affect the transesterification reaction and the performance of Ca-CeO nanocatalyst. One of the goals of this project is to optimize these variables in order to achieve maximum biodiesel yield. According to the results of optimizing the operating conditions for biodiesel production in the presence of Ca-CeO nanocatalyst during the esterification process with sunflower oil, at a calcination temperature of 800 and a calcination time of 5 hours, a molar ratio of (2:1) Ca to Ce, a reaction temperature of 65, a reaction time of 3 hours, a molar ratio of methanol to oil of 15:1 and a weight percentage of catalyst to oil of 5%, a yield of 95.99% has been reported. The prepared Ca-CeO nanocatalyst has also been investigated by instrumental methods such as SEM, EDAX, XRD, BET and FT_IR.
  5. Determination of properties of deltamethrin, chlorpyrifos and diazinon pesticides using computational methods: molecular dynamics simulation and ab initio methods
    Shabnam Moradi Beleshti 2025
    In this study, quantum chemical calculations combined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to investigate the electrostatic and structural properties of the pesticides chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and deltamethrin—three of the most widely used agrochemical and domestic insecticides—both in the isolated phase and in aqueous solution.Initially, the molecular geometries of chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and deltamethrin were optimized using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method with the 6-31++G(d,p) basis set implemented in the Gaussian software package. From the optimized structures, key electronic descriptors including the total potential energy, chemical hardness, EHOMO, ELUMO, and the energy gap (Egap) were obtained.Subsequently, the molecular interactions between each pesticide and a water molecule were analyzed in the gas phase. The results revealed that in chlorpyrifos and diazinon, the sulfur atom (S), and in deltamethrin, the oxygen atom (O), exhibited the most significant interactions with the hydrogen atom (H) of the water molecule. The deltamethrin–water interaction was characterized as a hydrogen-bonding interaction, indicating strong directional electrostatic attraction.In the aqueous phase, molecular dynamics simulations were performed employing the Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations (OPLS) force field. Radial distribution functions (RDFs), mean square displacement (MSD) analyses, and diffusion coefficients were computed to elucidate both the static and dynamic structural characteristics of the pesticide–water systems.Moreover, the adsorption behavior of the pesticides on graphene and graphene oxide (GO) membranes was explored using MD simulations. The results demonstrated that hydrogen bonding plays a crucial role in defining the structural and dynamical features of these systems. In all three pesticides, the oxygen atom (OS) showed the strongest hydrogen-bond interactions with the hydrogen atoms of surrounding water molecules.For adsorption on the graphene membrane, the sulfur atom (S) of chlorpyrifos, the nitrogen atom (NC) of diazinon, and the brom atom (Br) of deltamethrin exhibited the most pronounced interactions with the graphene surface. In contrast, on the graphene oxide membrane, stronger interactions were observed between the chlorine atom (Cl) of chlorpyrifos and the hydroxyl hydrogen (HG) of the GO surface, the carbon atom (CA3) of diazinon and the hydroxyl group, and the nitrogen atom (NZ) of deltamethrin and the hydroxyl hydrogen (HG) of graphene oxide.Overall, the simulations confirm that hydrogen bonding and specific atom–surface interactions critically influence the structural stability, adsorption dynamics, and electrostatic behavior of these pesticide molecules in aqueous and interfacial environments.
  6. Preparation and characterization of improved cerium catalyst based on La?O? for biodiesel production, molecular dynamics simulation and quantum calculations of biodiesel.
    Maryam Morovati mokhtari 2025
       In this study, the synthesis of a Ce–La/Ca nanocatalyst via the co-precipitation method and its application in biodiesel production through the transesterification of rapeseed oil were investigated. To optimize the process, key parameters affecting the structure and performance of the nanocatalyst—including the molar ratio of precursor materials, precipitation temperature and time, stirring speed during precipitation, pH of the precipitating solution, calcination temperature and time, reaction temperature and time, methanol-to-oil molar ratio, and catalyst loading (wt%)—were considered as independent variables. The optimized catalyst was characterized using various analytical techniques, including XRD, BET, SEM, FT-IR, and EDX. XRD results confirmed the formation of a cubic fluorite crystalline phase. Both XRD patterns and SEM images revealed that the catalyst consists of nanoparticles with an average size of 10–15 nm. The specific surface area was measured to be 6.87 m²/g, indicating a suitable porous structure for efficient transesterification. Under optimal conditions—calcination at 650?°C for 3 h, reaction temperature of 60?°C, reaction time of 4 h, methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 15:1, and 5 wt% catalyst loading—a biodiesel yield of 98.6% was achieved. Additionally, the kinetics and thermodynamics of the transesterification reaction using rapeseed oil and the Ce–La/Ca catalyst were studied. Kinetic and thermodynamic analyses demonstrated that the catalyst exhibits high activity in facilitating the ester exchange reaction, delivering a significant conversion under the aforementioned optimal conditions. Furthermore, the catalyst could be successfully recovered and reused for four consecutive reaction cycles without a significant loss in catalytic activity—a notable advantage with considerable economic and environmental benefits. Subsequently, quantum chemical calculations were performed using Gaussian software, and molecular simulations of biodiesel were carried out using LAMMPS. The optimized molecular geometry of biodiesel was obtained via quantum calculations, and structural parameters such as bond lengths, bond angles, and dihedral angles were determined. The electronic structure of the biodiesel molecule was also analyzed. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were then employed to investigate structural properties—including density, radial distribution function (RDF), and spatial distribution function (SDF)—as well as dynamic properties such as mean squared displacement (MSD) and diffusion coefficient. The simulated density showed excellent agreement with experimental data, differing by only ~0.03 g/cm³, which validates the reliability of the simulation model. RDF analysis further revealed that the strongest intermolecular interactions in the system occur between the carbonyl (C=O) groups and oxygen atoms.
  7. Molecular dynamics simulation and quantum calculations of the interactions of antidepressants drugs fluoxetine and citalopram with gold nanoparticles
    ATEFEH MONVARI 2025
       In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to analyze the interactions between gold nanoparticles and antidepressant drugs in an aqueous environment. The objective was to investigate the adsorption behavior and dynamic properties of the drug molecules and their interactions within a biological medium. The molecular structures of citalopram and fluoxetine were first optimized using DFT with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set via Gaussian software. Electronic parameters such as hardness, potential energy, chemical hardness, and frontier orbital energies (EHOMO, ELUMO, Egap) were determined. In the gas phase, the interaction between these drugs and water molecules showed that nitrogen atoms in both fluoxetine and citalopram had stronger hydrogen bonding interactions with the hydrogen atoms of water compared to other atoms. Subsequently, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out under NVT and NPT ensembles using the OPLS force field to evaluate static and dynamic structural parameters such as radial distribution functions, diffusion coefficients, temperature, van der Waals energy, and total energy. Finally, the adsorption of these drug molecules onto gold nanoparticles was simulated. The results demonstrated that hydrogen bonds play a critical role in the structural and dynamic properties of the molecules, with atom HA of fluoxetine and atom HC of citalopram showing the strongest interactions with the gold nanoparticles.

    Erfan Ghanbari 2023
      Abstract  The purpose of this study was to remove methylene blue dye from aqueoussolution using modified zeolite ZSM-5 and to investigate the effect ofdifferent parameters on the efficiency of dye absorption by this nano adsorbent.   In this project, atfirst, to increase the porosity, the zeolite wasmodified using sodium hydroxide base, and after calcination using the dopingprocess, nickel metal was placed in the zeolite structure, in such a way that asolution of nickel nitrate with the modified zeolite from the first step It wasinoculated for 5 hours at 70°C and then precipitated with sodium carbonateprecipitating agent.

  12. Fabrication and evaluation of sericin nanocarrier containing Cisplatin for the treatment of breast cancer
    Kiana Bahremand 2023
      Abstract  Breast cancer is one of the most serious threats to women's health. Currently, conventional treatment methods for cancer, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, often prove to be less suitable due to the side effects they induce in tissues and other organs, making them less effective. In recent years, the utilization of nanotechnology has paved the way for the design and synthesis of various nanocarriers that can specifically deliver therapeutic agents to tumor cells. Biopolymer-based nanocarriers, including protein-based nanocarriers, have gained significant attention in research due to their low toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to modify their structures. Sericin, one of the major proteins in silk, consisting of 18 amino acids, possesses high biodegradability, non-toxicity to normal cells, and also exhibits a pH-charge reversal characteristic, resulting in the increased release of the therapeutic agent in the tumor microenvironment. The anti-solvent precipitation (Asp) method will be employed to prepare the sericin-based protein nanocarrier. In this method, sericin protein is initially dissolved in an organic solvent, and by slowly adding it to a non-solvent, sericin molecules undergo self-assembly to form nanocarriers. This study aims to utilize sericin silk protein-based nanocarriers for encapsulating the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is well-established that cisplatin exerts its cytotoxic properties by binding to nuclear DNA and interfering with DNA replication and transcription mechanisms. In a slightly acidic tumor condition, the surface charge of sericin undergoes a pH-driven conversion from negative to positive, demonstrating that pH can regulate surface charge. The positively charged nanocarriers in the acidic tumor environment, facilitate enhanced interaction with tumor cells due to the charge attraction between the positively charged nanocarrier and the negatively charged surface of the cancer cells.

  16. Molecular dynamics simulation of dicationic ionic liquid electrolytes for lithium ion batteries and capacitors
    Akram Shamshiri babakhani 2022
       In this study, molecular dynamics simulations for interactions between anion and cation of two cationic ionic liquid ions (1 and 6 bis (3-methylimidazolium-1-yl) hexane) with ionic liquid anions (bisfluoromethyl sulfonylimide) in the pure state, in the presence of Graphene capacitor plates have been investigated in the presence of oxide graphene plates in different states and in the presence of graphene plates containing lithium atoms in different states. To perform the simulation, the molecules were first plotted by Gaussian software and then optimized by Gaussian software using the B3LYP method and the 6-31G base set (d, p). The results of quantum calculations showed that there is a strong interaction between cation and anion. Using the OPLS force field, simulations were performed in two sets of NVT-NPT to determine the structural and dynamic properties of dual-ion ion fluid with nanosheets (as a capacitor). Using simulation, density, temperature, total energy, van der Waals, Colombic and radial distribution function diagrams, MSD and the diffusion of ionic liquid molecules on the surface of graphene oxide valithium capacitor plates have also been calculated. The results of the radial distribution function (RDF) show that the adsorption between ionic liquid molecules on the surface of graphene oxide and lithium capacitors is affected by oxygen and lithium atoms. Also, the results of MSD and RDF indicate that the added atoms (oxygen) And lithium) play an essential role in the structural and dynamic properties of these molecules. MSD results showed that the penetration of ionic liquid molecules with lithium graphene capacitor plates was greater than the penetration of molecules with oxidized graphene capacitor plates

  29. Study Of The First External Spherical Photoelectron Transfer Between Fullerene C60 And Neuroleptic Medicines To Produce The Electron Transfer Complexes By The Use Of Marcus Theory And Quantum Mechanical Calculations
    Samira Hatami 2017
         In this study, outer spherical electron transfer between fullerene C60 and selective neuroleptic drugs (clozapine, droperidol, haloperidol, and meperidine) have been investigated. These drugs are called antipsychotics, anti-fluids and they are used in the treatment of illnesses that are accompanied by hallucinations or delusions. In fact, this study is focused on target drug delivery to the target tissue, a method that is probably more effective than traditional drug delivery methods. In this study, C60 was used as a drug nanocarier due to the lack of body resistance to carbon and the small amount of fullerenes that can pass through and excrete all parts of the body. First, optimize the molecular structure of selective neuroleptic drugs and their nano-complexes with fullerene C60 by using the convenient computational method of quantum mechanics under vacuum conditions and in the 6-31G* base series and the density function theory (DFT) method, with helping Spartan 10 software was designed and optimized. After optimization of the above structures, the dipole moment, structural energies and energy of boundary orbitals (HOMO and LUMO), the distance between HOMO and LUMO levels (?EHOMO-LUMO), charts and UV-Vis data were investiged by DFT-B3LYP / 6-31G * method. Subsequently, the complex of Meperidine and Fullerene C60 were evaluated by DFT and TD-DFT methods using Gaussian software. The main purpose of these calculation was evaluating some of the electro-optical properties of this complex, including the determination of bipolar momentum, relative stability and electron transfers, in excited state. In base state calculations, including structural optimization and NBO analysis were used the B3LYP method and for calculations in excited state   were used CAM-B3LYP method. According to the studied complex was used 6-31G++**.   The formation energy of this complex was calculated about 4.21 Kcal.mol-1, indicating that it is London force, the dipole moment is about 2.33 D, which is partially capable of dissolving in polar solvents such as water, so this drug system can be used for Meperidine drug and its family medicine. In this process, physicochemical parameters, such as free electron transfer energeis (?Get ), free activation energies (?G#et) and electron transfer rate constants (ket) and measurement of electromagnetism wavelengths (?max) in outer spherical photoelectron transfer process for the super-molecular nanocomplexes in this study was calculated by Rem-Wheeler equation and the equations for Marcos theory and Plancks equation. Also it be noted that the design of nanocomplexes, which are synthesized and proposed in chemistry texts for the first time, are one of the most promising innovations in the use of target drug delivery.The results were indicated that with binding of neuroleptic drugs to fullerenes, the energy of gap decreased and the bipolar moment increased. As a result, electron transfer was easier, so it can be concluded that the reactivity in the nano-carrier drug is increased than drug only. In addition, solubility in polar solvents (for example, water) has been increased. This result can consider in the pharmacy for these drugs and similar systems

  32. CFD modling of using a micro - reactor for methanol production process
    Samira Moridi 2017
      In this study methanol production mechanism is unchanged and methanol production in micro channel has been investigated and modeled just with change in some operation conditions (temperature, pressure and …). A main difference of micro channel than other instruments is that in micro channel can be achieved industrial scale with coupling several micro channels without change in scale of channels. In other word, with adding multiple micro channels together or put them on each other can increase instrument capacity and produce product in industrial scale without change in yield. While in other common industrial instruments maybe the project fail and change yield with increasing scale from pilot to plant. In addition, small scale of reactor has advantage that energy can be delivered better and more effective. In this work, CFD modeling of micro channel for methanol production has been carried out with Gambit and Fluent in heterogeneous conditions. Methanol is produced by syngas feed and Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 coated on wall of micro channel as catalyst. In order to design experiments, has been used design expert software and CCD method. Factor considered in the design of experiments were temperature, pressure, length and radius of reactor and entrance syngas ratio. Except syngas ratio, other parameters have been investigated, quantitatively. Optimum operation conditions were pressure of 80 bar and temperature of 523 K. In these conditions has been obtained maximum methanol production
  33. Synthesis and characterization of carbon dots using orange and onion and application in determination of Fe(III) based on their reducing ability
    Fatemeh Parno 2017
    In this thesis, we demonstrate the use of a simple, economical and green approach for direct preparation of CDs with Orange and Onions as a natural carbon source without any further functionalization or modification of the CDs. We will determined the levels of iron present in the sample of real water whit using of a coloured complex between iron and 1,10 Phenanthroline in the presence of carbondots . Phenolic acids as common food ingredients mainly exist in grains such as sorghum, wheat, rice, corn, and fruit such as grape and apples. One of analytical option to assess the phenolic content uses the Prussian Blue assay (PB), also known as Berlin Blue or the ferricyanide method, in which Fe3+ is educed to Fe2+ by the development of the iron (III) hexacyanoferrate (II) chelate, Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, in acidic medium to keep the iron complex solubilized (color stability in the test tube). In this assay, the reducing substances are oxidized by the hexacyanoferrate (III) ion and form hexacyanoferrate (II) ion, [Fe(CN)6]4. Then, [Fe(CN)6]4 reacts with Fe3+ (ferric ion) to yield the ferric ferrocyanide, the so-called Prussian Blue complex. Also, we used synthesized carbondots as reducing agents.
