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.

Abstract Single crystals of rubidium hexathiodiphosphate(V), Rb2P2S6, have been obtained and investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and IR/FIR and Raman spectroscopy. The title compound crystallizes isotypically to the potassium, caesium and thallium analogues in the orthorhombic space group Immm (no. 71) with a = 8.485(3), b= 6.953(3), c =9.259(3 Å , and Z = 2, final R1= 0.0579 and wR2 = 0.0987. The crystal structure is characterized by discrete [P2S6]2− anions (edge-sharing double-tetrahedra) with D2h symmetry. Rubidium is coordinated by ten sulfur atoms forming a slightly distorted two-capped tetragonal prism with a coordination number CNRb 10. The FT-Raman and FT-IR/FIR spectra have been recorded and a factor group analysis was carried out.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles with uniform morphologies and controllable size have been synthesized by template directed method. The environment and eco-friendly polysaccharide soluble starch is used as a template to regulate size and shape of the nanoparticles synthesized. Structural and morphological properties of as-synthesized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been examined through the techniques like Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), respectively. The results indicate that the obtained particles are uniform discrete spherical nanoparticles. The average size of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were ranged from 45 to 60 nm.

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.
