Two new polynuclear zinc complexes [Zn2Br2(L1)2] (1) and [Zn(μ1,5-dca)L2]n (2), and two new mononuclear cobalt(III) complexes [CoL1N3(Brsal)] (3) and [CoL2(HL2)] (4), where L1 = 5-bromo-2-(((2-dimethylamino)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenolate, L2 = 5-bromo-2-(((2-hydroxyethyl)imino)methyl)phenolate, dca = dicyanoamide, Brsal = 5-bromo-2-formylphenolate, have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UVVis spectra, molar conductivity, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray analysis indicates that the Zn atoms in complex 1 are in distorted square pyramidal coordination, the Zn atoms in complex 2 are in distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination, and the Co atoms in complexes 3 and 4 are in octahedral coordination. The molecules of the complexes are stacked through π···π interactions and hydrogen bonds. The complexes were assayed for antibacterial activities against three Gram-positive bacterial strains (B. subtilis, S. aureus, and St. faecalis) and three Gram-negative bacterial strains (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and E. cloacae) by MTT method.

In this study, spinel NiCexFe2–XO4 (x = 0.0 - 0.5) nanoparticles (NPs) was synthesized by microwave combustion technique (MCT) utilizing the fuel of Aloe vera plant extract. The establishment of spinel cubic crystal structure was ensured by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. The particles like nanostructured morphology were confirmed by high-resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM). Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) studies confirmed the formation of spinel ferrite structure and ensured that no other elements were present. Magnetic parameters such as remanant magnetisation (Mr), coercivity (He) and saturation magnetization (Ms) were calculated from the magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loops, which exhibited ferromagnetic behaviour. The photocatalytic behavior was investigated by visible light treatment for the photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of rhodamine B (Rh-B) dye and the sample NiCe0.3Fe1.7O4 exhibits higher PCD efficiency (93.88%) than other compositions. The antibacterial activities of gram-positive S. aureus, B. subtilis, gramnegative K. pneumonia and E. coli have been investigated using undoped and Ce3+ substituted NiFe2O4 NPs and observed higher activity, which indicated that, they can be used in the bio-medical applications.

A hetero-hexanuclear Zn(II)-La(III) coordination compound, [{(ZnL)2La}2(bdc)2](NO3)2 (H2bdc = terephthalic acid) has been synthesized with a symmetric Salamo-like bisoxime, and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescent spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All of the Zn(II) ions are pentacoordinated by N2O2 donator atoms from the (L)2− unit and one oxygen atom from one terephthalate anion. The Zn(II) ions adopt trigonal bipyramidal geometries (τZn1 = 0.61, τZn2 = 0.56). The La(III) ions are decacoordinated in the Zn(II)-La(III) coordination compound and has a distorted bicapped square antiprism geometry.

Tetraphenylantimony 2,3-difluorobenzoate (1) and tetraphenylantimony 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoate (2) was obtained by the interaction of pentaphenylantimony with 2,3-difluorobenzoic and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoic acids in benzene with a yield of up to 98 %. The compounds were also synthesized by the ligand redistribution reaction between pentaphenylantimony and triphenylantimony dicarboxylates. The compounds have been identified by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the antimony atoms in compounds 1 and 2 have a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination with the oxygen atom in axial positions. X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on a D8 QUEST diffractometer (Bruker). The crystallographic parameters of the unit cell of the compounds: 1 space group Р1 ̅, а = 9.857(5), b = 10.154(7), c = 14.362(11) Å, α = 83.74(4)°, β = 82.59(3), γ = 68.34(2)°, V = 1321.9(16) Å3, ρcalc = 1.475 g/cm3, Z = 2; 2 space group Р21/с, а = 16.186(9), b = 8.771(6), c = 20.413(13) Å, α = 90.00°, β = 113.073(17), γ = 90.00°, V = 2666(3) Å3, ρcalc = 1.597 g/cm3, Z = 4. The OSbO axial angles are slightly different and amount to 177.90(5)º in 1 and 179.00(5)º in 2. The sums of the CSbC equatorial angles are 356.89(9)º (1), 355.85(7)º (2). The Sb–Ceq distances in compounds 1 and 2 are 2.116(2), 2.119(2), 2.118(2) and 2.1073(17), 2.1158(18), 2.1152(19) Å respectively, which are significantly shorter than the Sb–Сax bond lengths (2.169(2) and 2.1617(19) Å). The organization of molecules in the crystals of compounds is due to hydrogen bonds and CHπ-interactions of the aryl and carboxyl ligands. The main difference between structures 1 and 2 is the different Sb–O bond lengths (2.2864(18) and 2.3168(18) Å), which is due to an increase in the electronegativity of the carboxyl ligand in 2, caused by the presence of five electronegative fluorine atoms in the benzoate substituent. Complete tables of atom coordinates, bond lengths and valence angles are deposited at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center (No. 1980908 (1); 1977189 (2); [email protected]; http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif).

In this study cefixime and azithromycin nanoparticles were prepared by antisolvent precipitation with syringe pump (APSP) and evaporator precipitation nanosuspension (EPN) methods. The nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, and TGA. X-ray diffraction pattern of cefixime samples showed the amorphous form, while azithromycin samples showed crystalline form. The FTIR spectra of parental drugs and synthesized nanoparticles have no major structural changes detected. The SEM images showed that nanoparticles of both drugs have submicron sized and nanosized particles. TGA analyses showed that above 30°C the decomposition of cefixime samples starts and their weight gradually decreases up to 600°C, while, in case of azithromycin, 30°C to 250°C, very small changes occur in weight; from above 250°C decomposition of the sample took place to a greater extent. The antibacterial activities of raw drugs and prepared samples of nanoparticles were determined againstStaphylococcus aureus,Shigella,E. coli, andSalmonella typhiby agar well diffusion method. Every time the nanoparticles samples showed better results than parental drugs. The dissolution rates of raw drugs and prepared nanoparticles were also determined. The results were always better for the synthesized nanoparticles than parental drug.

The present work reports a simple coprecipitation adapted method for the synthesis of stable Ce substituted to Ca hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles. The structural and morphological properties of Ce doped hydroxyapatite (Ce:HAp) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The optical properties of Ce doped hydroxyapatite were also investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, FT Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence analysis. The results of the XRD studies revealed the progressive increase in the a- and c-axes with increasing of Ce concentrations. In the FTIR studies of Ce:HAp powders a similar structure to hydroxyapatite was observed. IR and Raman wavenumbers and the peak strength of the bands associated to the P-O and O-H bonds decreases progressively with the increase of Ce concentration. All the emission maxima could be attributed to the 5d-4f transitions of Ce ions. The displacement of maximum emission bands with the increase of Cerium in the samples is in agreement with the results obtained by XRD studies. The Ce:HAp samples with xCe =0.03 and 0.05 exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and E. coli 714 bacterial strains compared to Ce:HAp samples with xCe =0 (pure HAp) and 0.01.
