Supramolecular Association between γ-Cyclodextrin and Preyssler-Type Polyoxotungstate

The development of hybrid materials based on polyoxometalates constitutes a strategy for the design of multifunctional materials. The slow evaporation of an aqueous solution of [NaP5W30O110]14− in the presence of γ-Cyclodextrin (γ-CD) led to the crystallization of a K6Na8{[NaP5W30O110]•(C48H80O40)}•23H2O (NaP5W30•1CD) supramolecular compound, which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR-spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses. Structural analysis revealed the formation of 1:1 {[NaP5W30O110]•[γ-CD]}14− adduct in the solid state. Studies in solution by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and 31P DOSY, have demonstrated weak interactions between the inorganic anion and the macrocyclic organic molecule.

A new organic–inorganic compound, ethylenediammonium hexachloridostannate(IV) p-anisaldehyde disolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title organic–inorganic hybrid complex [systematic name: ethane-1,2-diaminium hexachloridostannate(IV)–4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1/2)], (C2H10N2)[SnCl6]·2C8H8O2, contains one half of an ethylenediammonium cation, one half of an [SnCl6]2− anion and one p-anisaldehyde molecule. Both the organic cation and the quasi-regular octahedral inorganic anion are located about inversion centres. The organic cations and [SnCl6]2− anions lie in layers parallel to the ac plane with p-anisaldehyde molecules occupying the space between the layers. A network of classical N—H...Cl and N—H...O hydrogen bonds exists between the ethylenediammonium cations and the [SnCl6]2− anions and p-anisaldehyde molecules. These interactions, together with non-classical C—H...O interactions between the ethylenediammonium cations and the p-anisaldehyde molecules, serve to hold the structure together. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component twin.

New Radical Cation Salts Based on BDH-TTP Donor: Two Stable Molecular Metals with a Magnetic [ReF6]2− Anion and a Semiconductor with a [ReO4]− Anion

Three radical cation salts of BDH-TTP with the paramagnetic [ReF6]2− and diamagnetic [ReO4]− anions have been synthesized: κ-(BDH-TTP)4ReF6 (1), κ-(BDH-TTP)4ReF6·4.8H2O (2) and pseudo-κ″-(BDH-TTP)3(ReO4)2 (3). The crystal and band structures, as well as the conducting properties of the salts, have been studied. The structures of the three salts are layered and characterized by alternating κ-(1, 2) and κ″-(3) type organic radical cation layers with inorganic anion sheets. Similar to other κ-salts, the conducting layers in the crystals of 1 and 2 are formed by BDH-TTP dimers. The partial population of positions of Re atoms and disorder in the anionic layers of 1–3 are their distinctive features. Compounds 1 and 2 show the metallic character of conductivity down to low temperatures, while 3 is a semiconductor. The ac susceptibility of crystals 1 was investigated in order to test the possible slow relaxation of magnetization associated with the [ReF6]2− anion.

COMPLEXES OF METALS WITH HYDRAZONE HYDRAZIDE SALICYLIC ACID

Complexes of Cu (II), Ni (II), and Co (II) with hydrazone derivatives of salicylic acid hydrazide and 3,5-di-tert-butyl salicylic aldehyde (LH) were synthesized and the structure of these compounds studied by means of elemental analysis methods, IR and electronic spectroscopy, magnetochemistry and thermal analysis. It revealed that the complexes are monomeric and have a composition [MLXSoI] where M is a metal ion, L is a ligand, X is an inorganic anion, and Sol is a solvent molecule. LH- in the complexes behaves like a monoanionic tridentate ligand. It found that the resulting complexes exhibit noticeable inhibitory and urease activity.

Comparison of the Microbiota and Inorganic Anion Content in the Saliva of Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Free Individuals

The oral cavity is one of the most complex microbial environments; however, the complex nature of the salivary microbiota and the level of inorganic anions in the saliva of subjects with and without gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are poorly understood. The primary goals of this pilot research were to assess differences in salivary bacterial community composition and inorganic anion concentrations between patients with GERD and GERD-free people. Thus, the salivary microbiota within both groups was dominated by these genera: Streptococcus, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Veillonella, Neisseria, Haemophilus, Fusobacterium, Rothia, and Leptotrichia. However, the relative abundances of the genera Actinomyces, Atopobium, Stomatobaculum, Ruminococcaceae_[G-2], Veillonella, and Leptotrichia were significantly higher in the saliva samples of patients with GERD, while the genera Porphyromonas, Gemella, Peptostreptococcus, and Neisseria were less abundant in this group. The concentrations of chloride, phosphate, and sulphate ions in the human saliva varied among all subjects and sampling time. These results broaden our knowledge of the salivary microbial community composition and chemistry of saliva of patients with GERD and GERD-free individuals.
