The aim of this study was the evaluation of(Ca10-xAgx)(PO4)6(OH)2nanoparticles (Ag:HAp-NPs) for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. Resistance to antimicrobial agents by pathogenic bacteria has emerged in the recent years as a major public health problem worldwide. In this paper, we report a comparison of the antimicrobial activity of low concentrations silver-doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. The silver-doped nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite powder was synthesized at 100°C in deionised water. The as-prepared Ag:Hap nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), FT-IR, and FT-Raman spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies demonstrate that powders obtained by coprecipitation at 100°C exhibit the apatite characteristics with good crystal structure, without any new phase or impurities found. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopy revealed the presence of the various vibrational modes corresponding to phosphates and hydroxyl groups and the absence of any band characteristic to silver. The specific microbiological assays demonstrated that Ag:HAp-NPs exhibited antimicrobial features, but interacted differently with the Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacterial and fungal tested strains.

Alternative and, in some cases, improved syntheses of the salts MX3(As/Sb)F6 (M = S, Se) and SCl3(SbCl6/AlCl4) are described. In addition, the synthesis of SeCl3SbF6 is reported. The compounds were characterized by FT–Raman spectroscopy and the X-ray crystal structures of SeCl3AsF6 (also 77Se NMR) and a new phase of SBr3SbF6 were determined. Crystals of SeCl3AsF6 and SBr3SbF6 are monoclinic, space group P21/c with [values for SBr3SbF6 in brackets] a = 7.678(1) [8.137(1)] Å, b = 9.380(3) [9.583(2)] Å, c = 11.920(3) [12.447(2)] Å, β = 98.19(2)° [97.36(1)]°, V = 849.72(3) [962.6(3)] Å3,z = 4, Dx = 2.925 [3.502] Mg m−3, R = 0.0525 [0.055], and Rw = 0.0554 [0.060] for 1151 [1472] observed reflections. Key words: MX3+ salts, FT–Raman spectroscopy, X-ray crystal structures of SeCl3AsF6, SBr3SbF6, and preparation of SeCl3SbF6.
