Transparent, ion-conducting, luminescent, and flexible ionogels based on the room temperature ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide [Bmim][N(Tf)₂], a PtEu₂ chromophore, and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) have been prepared. The thermal stability of the PMMA significantly increases with IL incorporation. In particular, the onset weight loss observed...

A series of azo dyes, possessing amide fragments with restricted flexibility tethered to 4-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalen-1-ol, was obtained from 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid by subsequent conversion to amides and diazo coupling. It was shown that the position of the tautomeric equilibrium in solution strongly depends on the solvent in both UV and NMR concentration scale. The compounds exist as...

New crystalline mercury halide adducts with polyetheras ligands were isolated, characterized, and identified as trans-[HgIICl₂(diox)₂]n (1) and trans-[HgIII₂(diox)]n (2). The compounds were obtained from the metal halide salts in solution of 1,4-dioxane and can be considered as “cutting-out”...

Reaction of commercially available tetraethylene glycol with different alkaline earth metal halides affords tetraethylene glycol complexes with different coordination numbers at the metal ion and structural features; depending on the ionic radius of the metal ion, one or two ligand molecules will be coordinated to the metal ion. In this article we will first present complexes with...

Dibenzo-24-crown-8 is studied herein as a flexible ligand able to adopt different conformations, as well as for the complexation of mercury. The recrystallization of dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) from dry THF gives a new polymorphic structure of this ligand. This new structure is described and compared to the literature compound. Additionally, coordination of this ligand to mercury iodide HgI₂ is...

The title compound, C₂₁H₁₆N₂O, has an E-conformation about the diazene N=N bond. It is reasonably planar with the phenyl ring being inclined to the mean plane of the anthracene moiety [planar to within 0.077 (3) Å] by 6.43 (10)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H..π and weak π-π interactions [centroid-centroid distances of 3.7192 (16) and 3.8382 (15) Å],...

Biofilm formation on implant materials causes a common problem: resistance to aggressive pharmacological agents as well as host defenses. Therefore, to reduce bacterial adhesion to implant surfaces we propose to use silver(I) coordination networks as it is known that silver is the most powerful antimicrobial inorganic agent. As a model surface, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold Au(111) was...

Prosthetic joint replacements are used increasingly to alleviate pain and improve mobility of the progressively older and more obese population. Implant infection occurs in about 5% of patients and entails significant morbidity and high social costs. It is most often caused by staphylococci, which are introduced perioperatively. They are a source of prolonged seeding and difficult to treat...

A 3-D metal-organic coordination polymer based on pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (pzdcH₂) formulated as {[Mn(pzdc)(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O}n (1), was obtained by the treatment of MnCl₂ · 6H₂O with pzdcH₂, 8-hydroxy quinoline (8-HQ), and 2-amino-4-methyl pyridine (ampy). In this study, we describe the synthesis, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TG analysis, and...
