Hybrid Materials Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide; Synthesis and Characterization of V and Ru Metal Complexes

The unique material graphene, which can find its place in many areas such as pharmaceutical industry, medical field, aviation and space industry, and elimination of environmental pollution; was obtained from graphite using strong oxidants within the scope of this study. rGO was obtained by thermal reduction of oxygen-containing groups in the GO material layer. Hybrid materials were synthesized by binding 4-aminobenzoic acid (C) and 3-aminobenzoic acid (D) to the rGO material. Ru metal complexes, which stand out with their superior photophysical properties, and V metal complexes, which are harmful to the environment and human health, were formed with the hybrid materials. The synthesized hybrid and complex materials were characterized by methods such as FTIR, UV-vis, XRD, SEM and EDX and TEM. In addition, the photoluminescence properties of the materials were analyzed. The potential of Ru and V complexes of the obtained hybrid materials for use in the environment and human health was evaluated.
