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...

New crystalline cobalt, nickel, zinc, and mercury halide adducts with polyethers as ligands have been isolated, characterized, and identified as [Co(μ-Cl)₂CoCl₂(glyme)₂] (glyme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane), cis-[CoI₂(H₂O)₂(glyme)₂]²⁺[CoI₄]²⁻, [NiI₂(glyme)₂], [ZnI₂(glyme)], [HgCl₂(glyme)], [CoI₂(diglyme)] (diglyme = bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether), [ZnI₂(diglyme)],...

Heterometallic oxides are used as materials in many applications, e.g. from ferroelectrics to superconductors. Making these compounds usually requires high temperatures and long reaction times. Molecular precursors may contribute to render their processing shorter and accessible at lower temperatures, thus cheaper in energy and time. In this review article, different approaches toward oxide...

Varying the polyethyleneglycol spacer between two (iso)-nicotinic groups of the ligand systems, a large structural variety of silver coordination compounds was obtained, starting with zero-dimensional ring systems, via one-dimensional chains, helices and double-helices to two-dimensional polycatenanes. Theoretical calculations help to understand their formation and allow predictions in some...

This chapter of "Polymer Networks: Synthesis, Properties, Theory and Applications" provides a brief overview on metal ion containing coordination polymer networks, how and why they are made, as an alternative to classical polymers. Our focus will be polymorphism, supramolecular isomerism and pseudo-polymorphism. Examples from our group of metal ion containing coordination polymer networks with...

A new sensing molecule containing aza-15-crown-5 as a receptor and 4- (phenyldiazenyl)naphthalen-1-ol as a signal converter has been synthesized. In the free ligand, the hydrogen bonding between the tautomeric OH group and the nitrogen atom from the macrocycle fully shifts the tautomeric equilibrium towards the enol form. The complexation reverses the equilibrium as a result of the strong...
