The surface topography of dental implants plays an important role in cell-surface interaction promoting cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation influencing osseointegration. A hydrophilic implant leads to the absorption of water molecules and subsequently promotes the adhesion of cells to the implant binding protein. Dried salts on the implant surfaces allow one to store the implant surfaces in a dry environment while preserving their hydrophilic characteristics. This process has been identified as “dry technology”. The aim of the present study is to describe from a micrometric and nanometric point of view the characteristics of this new bioactivated surface obtained using salts dried on the surface. Topographic analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and contact angle characterization were performed on the samples of a sandblasted and dual acid-etched surface (ABT), a nanosurface (Nano) deriving from the former but with the adding of salts air dried and a nanosurface with salts dissolved with distilled water (Nano H2O). The analysis revealed promising results for nanostructured surfaces with increased wettability and a more articulated surface nanotopography than the traditional ABT surface. In conclusion, this study validates a new promising ultra-hydrophilic nano surface obtained by sandblasting, double acid etching and surface salt deposition using dry technology.

The synthesis and characterization of two new 1,3,5-triazines containing 2-(aminomethyl)-1H-benzimidazole hydrochloride as a substituent are reported, namely, 2-{[(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino]methyl}-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium chloride, C11H9Cl2N6 +·Cl− (1), and bis(2,2′-{[(6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(azanediyl)]bis(methylene)}bis(1H-benzimidazol-3-ium)) tetrachloride heptahydrate, 2C19H18ClN9 2+·4Cl−·7H2O (2). Both salts were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy. Moreover, the NMR (1H and 13C) spectra of 1 were obtained. Salts 1 and 2 have triclinic symmetry (space group P-1) and their supramolecular structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonding and offset π–π interactions. In hydrated salt 2, the noncovalent interactions yield pseudo-nanotubes filled with chloride anions and water molecules, which were modelled in the refinement with substitutional and positional disorder.

Abstract A new mixed-ligand complex of copper(II) with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2-methyllactate was prepared. [Cu(HmL)2(phen)] ·2H2O (where HmL = monodeprotonated 2-methyllactic acid) was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic and EPR spectroscopy, magnetic measurements at room temperature, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffractometry. The copper atom is in a tetragonally distorted octahedral environment and the 2-methyllactato ligand is bidentately chelating. The presence of lattice water molecules mediates the formation of a three-dimensional network.

The titanium dioxide target (99.7%) of 1 cm in dia was ablated in vacuum by laser pulses (6 ns) at 266 nm and at repetition rate of 10 Hz. During deposition the laser fluence between 1 and 3.5 J/cm2 and the O2 pressure from the range of 10-2 – 1 Pa were applied. The thin TiO2 films were deposited on glass substrate (1 × 1 cm2) heated up to 500 °C. The chemical composition of the film and samples produced by annealing were investigated by spectroscopic techniques (μ-Raman, EDX) and the structure, porosity and surface morphology were analysed by means of SEM and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM inspection of the TiO2 thin film samples indicates that the obtained material is mostly crystalline. After annealing in O2 at 500 °C the structure characterized by the presence of both anatase and rutile phases is observed in the Raman spectra and confirmed by the XRD data. The phase content ratio depends on the O2 pressure applied. Results confirm that nanostructures produced in this way represent densely packed columns and promote deep penetration of guest particles such as CO2.The resulting large active surface is advantageous from the point of view of photocatalytic applications.

The synthesis and characterization of a tris-pyridyl/bis-β-diketone molecule (H2L) is reported. This compound acts as a hexadentate ligand towards CoII to facilitate the assembly of a tetranuclear molecular chain of closely spaced metals with formula [Co4L2(MeOH)8](NO3)4 (1), which exhibits a very flat [Co4L2]4+ platform, as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction crystallography. Complex 1 readily exchanges axial methanol ligands with water molecules. The bulk magnetization of the resulting hydrate, 1a, shows that the metals in the [Co4L2]4+ moiety exhibit spin-orbit coupling and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions.

A novel zinc organophosphonate was synthesized under solvothermal conditions by using [piperazine-1,4-diyldi (methylene)] bis (phosphonic acid) as a organic ligand. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1 (No. 2). Compound 1 formulated as Zn (O3PCH2NHC4H8NHCH2PO3)·H2O. Compound 1 featured a 3D open-framework. Notably, the structure of compound 1 featured one-dimensional channel in the [00 direction. Water molecules were located in these channels. Further characterizations of compound 1 have been performed, including X-ray powder diffraction, IR, ICP and CHN analyses.

Characterization of merbau wood ash (Intsia, spp.) due to the influence of temperature and time of calcination has been studied. The variations in calcination temperature were 500 ᴼC (as M500) and 600 ᴼC (as M600), while the variations in the duration of calcination were 1, 2, and 3 hours, noted as M1, M2, and M3, respectively. Characterization was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spectroscopic analysis using FT-IR. XRD results identified the presence of CaCO3 species (rhombohedral structure) and K2Si4O9 species with a hexagonal structure on M500. The M600 species identified Si (cubic structure), SiO2 (cubic structure), K2Si4O9 (hexagonal structure), and CaCO3 (rhombohedral structure). In general, the calcination temperature increases the crystallinity of several compounds contained in merbau wood ash. The length of time calcination reduces the absorption peak due to the decomposition and adsorption reactions of the presence of water molecules bound to the ash material of merbau wood (Intsia, spp).

A cobalt(III) complex with pyruvylglycine oxime (H3G) of composition Na3[CoG2] · 9 H2O is synthesized and investigated by means of X-ray analysis, infrared, electronic and NMR spectroscopy. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 15.477(5), b = 9.931(4), c = 7.773(4)Å; α = 75.60(3); β = 82.86(4); γ = 93.54(3)°; Ζ = 2. The structure was refined to final R = 0.036 for 3347 independent observed reflections. The structure consists of the complex anions, Na+ cations and water molecules. The ligands are coordinated via the deprotonated oxime and amide nitrogen and the carboxyl oxygen atoms in a meridional fashion (Co—O(carboxyl) = 1.971 and 1.947 Å; Co— N(oxime) = 1.891 and 1.909; Co— N(amide) = 1.876 and 1.866Å). The Co(III) coordination octahedron is slightly distorted; the Co—O and Co—N distances are in agreement with the data for oxime and peptide complexes of Co(III). The unit cell contains 2 enantiomeric complex anions related by a center of symmetry. The electronic, IR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectra of the complex are compared to those of the free ligand and of dipeptidato complexes of Co(III).

X-ray powder diffraction data for two ionic salts containing imidazole (Him) complexes of the magnesium(II) ion, [Mg(Him)4(H2O)2]Cl2 and [Mg(Him)6](NO3)2, are reported. Their crystal and molecular structures were determined by simulated annealing and full-profile Rietveld refinement methods. [Mg(Him)4(H2O)2]Cl2 was found to crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c, a=12.3980(3) Å, b=11.0234(2) Å, c=14.4691(3) Å, and β=107.024(1)°. [Mg(Him)6](NO3)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group with a=b=12.4631(4) Å and c=14.9449(6) Å. Both species contain centrosymmetric complexes, and Mg is octahedrally coordinated by six imidazoles, as in [Mg(Him)6](NO3)2, or by four imidazoles and two water molecules, as in [Mg(Him)4(H2O)2]Cl2. Additional analytic, thermogravimetric, calorimetric, and spectroscopic characterizations were also performed.

Single-crystal room-temperature X-ray studies on hydrated specimens (deposited from aqueous solutions) of the sequence of trivalent lanthanoid picrates La → Tb have shown, with certain qualifications/reservations discussed herein and in Parts III and IV following, their existence as dodecahydrates in two closely related but subtly different monoclinic P21/c structural types. Nd → Tb generally conform to a 'low-β' type: a 7.767(1) → 7.603(3), b 27.525(9) → 27.440(10), c 18.198(11) → 18.182(8) Ǻ, β 105.11(3) → 105.18(4)°, V 3712(3) → 3674(3) Ǻ3, Z = 4 formula units, while La → Pr are a 'higher-β' type: a 7.933(1) → 7.9435(9), b 26.856(6) → 26.74(1), c 18.244(6) → 18.215(2) Ǻ, β 107.96(2) → 108.238(8)°, V 3697(2) → 3675(2) Ǻ3, Z = 4 formula units; the latter form is frequently found partially desolvated toward the undecahydrate without loss of crystal integrity, as water is lost from tunnels in the lattice, with the actual hydrate stoichiometry dependent on the history of the specimen. In both sets of compounds, similar complex species [ Ln ( pic )2(OH2)6]+ are observed, with one picrate uncoordinated as counter ion, and six lattice water molecules. The lanthanoid ion is >8-coordinate, one of the coordinated picrate moieties being quasi-bidentate , with an ortho-nitro group oxygen atom having a long contact to the metal atom in both series.

The activated photocatalysts are urgently needed for the application of photocatalytic techniques in environmental pollutant removal. A POM - based photocatalyst with the chemical formula of (4, 4’-H2bpy)( 4, 4’-Hbpy)2[SiW12O40]·4H2O (1) has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by the elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 consists of 4, 4’-bipyridine unit and keggin type polyoxometalates [SiW12O40]4-. There are hydrogen-bonding interactions between polyoxometalates, 4, 4’-bipyridine and water molecules in 1, forming a new 3-D networks. The degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under UV-vis irradiation with 1 as the heterogeneous photocatalyst has been investigated, showing a good photocatalytic property of 1 for RhB degradation.
