Synthese,Schwingungsspektren und Kristallstrukturen der Nitratoargentate (Ph4P)[Ag(NO3)2(CH3CN)]·CH3CN und (Ph4P)[Ag2(NO3)3]

Synthesis, Vibrational Spectra, and Crystal Structures of the Nitrato Argentates (Ph₄P)[Ag(NO₃)₂(CH₃CN)]·CH₃CN and (Ph₄P)[Ag₂(NO₃)₃] Tetraphenylphosphonium bromide reacts in acetonitril suspension with excess silver nitrate to give (Ph₄P)[Ag(NO₃)₂(CH₃CN)]·CH₃CN ( 1 ), whereas (Ph₄P)[Ag₂(NO₃)₃] ( 2 ) is obtained in a long‐time reaction from (Ph₄P)Br and excess AgNO₃ in dichloromethane suspension. Both complexes were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman) and by single crystal structure determinations. 1 : Space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1781.5(3), b = 724.8(1), c = 2224.2(3) pm, β = 96.83(1)°, R₁ = 0.0348. 1 contains isolated complex units [Ag(NO₃)₂(CH₃CN)]^?, in which the silver atom is coordinated by the chelating nitrate groups and by the nitrogen atom of the solvated CH₃CN molecule with a short Ag—N distance of 220.7(4) pm. 2 : Space group I2, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1753.4(4), b = 701.7(1), c = 2105.5(4) pm, R₁ = 0.072. In the polymeric anions [Ag₂(NO₃)₃]^? each silver atom is coordinated in a chelating manner by one nitrate group and by two oxygen atoms of two bridging nitrate ions. In addition, each silver atom forms a weak π‐bonding contact with a phenyl group of the (Ph₄P)⁺ ions with shortest Ag···C separations of 266 and 299 pm, respectively, indicating a (4+1) coordination of silver atoms.     

Different Silver Nanoparticles in One Crystal: Ag210(iPrPhS)71(Ph3P)5Cl and Ag211(iPrPhS)71(Ph3P)6Cl

Two pure silver nanoparticles (Ag₂₁₀(ⁱPrPhS)₇₁(Ph₃P)₅Cl and Ag₂₁₁(ⁱPrPhS)₇₁(Ph₃P)₆Cl labeled as SD/Ag210 and SD/Ag211 (SD=SunDi), were found to co‐crystallize in forming compound 1 . Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (SCXRD) revealed that they differ by only one Ag(PPh₃). Their four‐shell nanoparticles consist of three pure Ag metal shells (Ag₁₉@Ag₅₂@Ag₄₅) shielded by a silver‐organic Ag₈₉(ⁱPrPhS)₇₁Cl[Ag(Ph₃P)]_n outermost shell. The number (n) of Ag(Ph₃P) is five for SD/Ag210 and six for SD/Ag211. The pseudo‐fivefold symmetric Ag nanoparticles exhibit surface plasmon absorption similar to a true metallic state but at the nanoscale. This work exemplifies the important effects of phosphine in stabilizing large silver nanoparticles; and offers a platform to investigate the origin of differences in nanoscale metal materials, even differing by only one metal atom; it also sheds light on the regioselective binding of auxiliary Ph₃P on the surface of silver nanoparticles.

Hydrothermal single-crystal growth in the systems Ag/Hg/X/O (X = VV, AsV): crystal structures of (Ag3Hg)VO4, (Ag2Hg2)3(VO4)4, and (Ag2Hg2)2(HgO2)(AsO4)2 with the unusual tetrahedral cluster cations (Ag3Hg)3+ and (Ag2Hg2)4+ and crystal structure of AgHgVO4

Single crystals of (Ag3Hg)VO4 (I), (Ag2Hg2)3(VO4)4 (II), AgHgVO4 (III), and (Ag2Hg2)2(HgO2)(AsO4)2 (IV) were grown under hydrothermal conditions (250 degrees C, 5 d) from starting mixtures of elementary mercury, silver nitrate, ammonium vanadate, and disodium hydrogenarsenate, respectively. All crystal structures were determined from X-ray diffraction data, and their chemical compositions were confirmed by electron microprobe analysis. I crystallizes in the tillmannsite structure, whereas II-IV adopt new structure types: (I) I4, Z = 2, a = 7.7095(2) A, c = 4.6714(2) A, 730 structure factors, 24 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0365; (II) I42d, Z = 4, a = 12.6295(13) A, c = 12.566(3) A, 1524 structure factors, 55 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0508; (III) C2, Z = 4, a = 9.9407(18) A, b = 5.5730(8) A, c = 7.1210(19) A, beta = 94.561(10) degrees , 1129 structure factors, 48 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0358; (IV) P31c, Z = 2, a = 6.0261(9) A, c = 21.577(4) A, 1362 structure factors, 52 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0477. The most striking structural features of I, II, and IV are the formation of tetrahedral cluster cations (Ag3Hg)3+ and (Ag2Hg2)4+, respectively, built of statistically distributed Ag and Hg atoms with a metal-metal distance of about 2.72 A. The electronic structure of these clusters can formally be considered as two-electron-four-center bonding. The crystal structure of III differs from the protrusive structure types insofar as silver and mercury are located on distinct crystallographic sites without a notable metal-metal interaction >3.55 A. All crystal structures are completed by tetrahedral oxo anions XO4(3-) (X = VV, AsV) and for IV additionally by a mercurate group, HgO2(2-).     

配合物[Ag(chlsp)2](F3CCOO)的合成，谱学和晶体结构

A silver(Ⅰ) complex [Ag(chlsp)₂](CF₃CO₂)， (chlsp=(E)-4-(4-chlorostyryl) pyridine)， was synthesized by the reaction between AgCF₃CO₂ and chlsp in the anhydrous enthnol. The crystal structure of [Ag(chlsp)₂](CF₃CO₂) was characterized by elemental analysis， IR and determined by using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The result shows that the complex crystallize in triclinic system， with space group P1， a=0.109 7(2) nm， b=0.111 7(2) nm， c=0.117 2(2) nm， α=73.60(3)°， β=85.03(3)°， γ=81.82(3)°， V=0.136 2(4) nm³， Z=2. The moleculars are connected by Ag…Ag and Ag…Cl interactions， resulting in a three-dimensional network. CCDC: 631131.     

A variable Ag-Cr-Oxalate channel lattice: [M(x)Ag(0.5)(-)(x)(H(2)O)(3)]@[Ag(2.5)Cr(C(2)O(4))(3)], M = K, Cs, Ag

Reaction of aqueous AgNO(3) with aqueous M(3)[Cr(ox)(3)] in >or=3:1 molar ratio causes the rapid growth of large, cherry-black, light-stable crystals which are not Ag(3)[Cr(ox)(3)], but [M(0.5)(H(2)O)(3)]@[Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)] (ox(2)(-) = oxalate, C(2)O(4)(2)(-); M = Na, K, Cs, Ag, or mixtures of Ag and a group 1 element). The structure of these crystals contains an invariant channeled framework, with composition [[Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)](-)(0.5)]( infinity ), constructed with [Cr(ox)(3)] coordination units linked by Ag atoms through centrosymmetric [Cr-O(2)C(2)O(2)-Ag](2) double bridges. The framework composition [Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)](-)(0.5) occurs because one Ag is located on a 2-fold axis. Within the channels there is a well-defined and ordered set of six water molecules, strongly hydrogen bonded to each other and some of the oxalate O atoms. This invariant channel plus water structure accommodates group 1 cations, and/or Ag cations, in different locations and in variable proportions, but always coordinated by channel water and some oxalate O atoms. The general formulation of these crystals is therefore [M(x)Ag(0.5-x)(H(2)O)(3)]@[Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)]. Five different crystals with this structure are reported, with compositions 1 Ag(0.5)[Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)](H(2)O)(3), 2 Cs(0.19)Ag(0.31)[Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)](H(2)O)(3), 3 K(0.28)Ag(0.22)[Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)](H(2)O)(3), 4 Cs(0.41)Ag(0.09)[Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)](H(2)O)(3), and 5 Cs(0.43)Ag(0.07) [Ag(2.5)Cr(ox)(3)](H(2)O)(3). All crystallize in space group C2/c, with a approximately 18.4, b approximately 14.6, c approximately 12.3 A, beta approximately 113 degrees. Pure Ag(3)[Cr(ox)(3)](H(2)O)(3), which has the same crystal structure (1), was obtained from water by treating Li(3)[Cr(ox)(3)] with excess AgNO(3). Complete dehydration of all of these compounds occurs between 30 and 100 degrees C, with loss of diffraction, but rehydration by exposure to H(2)O(g) at ambient temperature leads to recovery of the original diffraction pattern. In single crystals, this reversible dehydration-hydration occurs without visually evident crystal change, but with loss of mechanical strength. We postulate a general mechanism for transport of water molecules along the channels, associated with local partial collapses of the channel framework, with concomitant bending but little breaking of the host Ag-O and Cr-O bonds, which is readily reversed.     

The Helical Coordination Polymer Ag(Nic)2(NO3)

Single crystals of Ag(Nic)₂(NO₃) were obtained from an aqueous solution of silver nitrate and nicotine as plate‐like colourless crystals. The crystal structure (monoclinic, P2₁, Z = 2, a = 933.3(2), b = 1136.8(2), c = 1024.3(2) pm, β = 94.49(2)°) consists of helical chains in which one nicotine molecule bridges with both the pyridine‐N and the pyrrol‐N coordinating and with a second nicotine molecule terminally coordinating with the pyridine‐N. A monodentate nitrate‐O is completing the coordination sphere of Ag⁺ to a distorted tetrahedron. Ag–N distances (229‐240 pm) attest for a rather strong attraction of the nicotine molecules to Ag(I) and thereby constitute essentially a one‐dimensional, helical coordination polymer according to the formulation Ag(Nic1)_2/2(Nic2)_1/1(NO₃)_1/1.     

A Novel 3‐D Heterobimetallic Cyano‐bridged Coordination Polymer Incorporating Ag···Ag Interaction: [Cu(dien)Ag(CN)2]2[Ag2(CN)3][Ag(CN)2]

A three‐dimensional cyano‐bridged copper(II) complex, [Cu(dien)Ag(CN)₂]₂[Ag₂(CN)₃][Ag(CN)₂] ( 1 ) (dien = diethylenetriamine), has been prepared and characterized by X‐ray crystallography. Complex 1 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 6.988(2), b = 17.615(6), c = 12.564(4) Å, β = 90.790(5)°. The crystal consists of cis‐[Cu(dien)]²⁺ units bridged by [Ag(CN)₂]^— to form a zig‐zag chain. The Ag atoms of the free and bridging [Ag(CN)₂]^— link together to form additional infinite zig‐zag chains with short Ag···Ag distances. The presence of Ag···Ag interactions effectively increases the dimensionality from a 1‐D chain to a 3‐D coordination polymer.     

Darstellung und Kristallstrukturen von Ag[N(CN)2](PPh3)2, Cu[N(CN)2](PPh3)2 und Ag[N(CN)2](PPh3)3

Preparation and Crystal Structures of Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂, Cu[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂, and Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₃ The coordination compounds Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂ ( 1 ), Cu[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂ ( 2 ), and Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₃ ( 3 ) are obtained by the reaction of AgN(CN)₂ or CuN(CN)₂ with triphenylphosphane in CH₂Cl₂. X‐ray structure determinations were performed on single crystals of 1 , 2 , and 3 · C₆H₅Cl. The three compounds crystallize monoclinic in the space group P2₁/n with the following unit cell parameters. 1 : a = 1216.07(9), b = 1299.5(2), c = 2148.4(3) pm, β = 99.689(13)°, Z = 4; 2 : a = 1369.22(10), b = 1257.29(5), c = 1888.04(15) pm, β = 94.395(7)°, Z = 4; 3 · C₆H₅Cl: a = 1276.6(4), b = 1971.7(3), c = 2141.3(5) pm, β = 98.50(3)°, Z = 4. In all structures the metal atoms have a distorted tetrahedral coordination. The crystal structure of 3 · C₆H₅Cl shows monomeric molecular units with terminal coordinated dicyanamide. The crystal structure of 1 is built up by dinuclear units, which are bridged by dicyanamide ligands. However, the crystal structure of 2 corresponds to a onedimensional coordination polymer, bridged by dicyanamide anions.     

Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3 p-n异质结复合光催化剂的制备及增强的可见光催化性能

半导体光催化氧化技术作为一种“绿色技术”,被广泛应用于环境污染物治理和太阳能转化领域.高效、稳定、可回收利用的催化剂的开发是光催化技术发展的一个重要方向. Ag系半导体光催化剂因在可见光分解水制氢及降解有机污染物等方面表现出优异的催化性能而广受关注.然而,该催化剂失活快制约了其应用.因此,提高Ag系半导体材料的光催化稳定性成为近年来研究的一个热点.研究发现,在半导体的表面或者界面形成p–n异质结是提高催化剂光催化性能和稳定性的有效途径.理论上讲,当p型半导体和n型半导体形成p–n结以后,在两种半导体接触边缘的附近处存在着正、负空间电荷分列两边的偶极层,产生了从n型半导体指向p型半导体的内建电场.内建电场的存在使得p型半导体与n型半导体之间产生了电位差,即内建电势差.这种电势差能够有效促进电子和空穴的分离,达到光生电子和空穴对分离、转移和传递的目的,从而抑制电子和空穴的复合,提高光催化效率. Ag2CO3是p型半导体,其导带为0.21 eV,价带为2.83 eV; Ag3PO4是n型半导体,其导带为0.43 eV,价带为2.86 eV.两者能带结构匹配,能形成p–n异质结.因此,本文采用简单的共沉淀法,制备了不同比例的Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合光催化剂,并通过X射线衍射、透射电镜、X射线光电子能谱、紫外-可见漫反射光谱以及瞬态光电压谱等对其进行了表征.透射电镜照片显示,粒径较小的Ag3PO4颗粒均匀的分布在粒径较大的Ag2CO3周围. P元素和C元素的摩尔比接近于投料比. Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合催化剂的吸收光谱体现出两种催化剂的混合特征,在可见光区的吸收强度增加.瞬态光电压表征不仅证实了Ag2CO3是p型半导体, Ag3PO4是n型半导体,更说明了40%-Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合光催化剂的载流子寿命较长.罗丹明B(RhB)的降解实验证实40%-Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3(Ag3PO4与Ag2CO3的摩尔比为40%：60%)复合催化剂的光催化效率最高,500 W氙灯(附加420 nm截止波长的滤光片)照射15 min后, RhB就能被完全降解,而纯的Ag3PO4和Ag2CO3对RhB的降解率只有40%和10%.循环实验发现,前两次循环中由于单质银的生成导致催化剂活性下降,但从第三次循环开始其催化活性趋于稳定.此外,还通过添加草酸钠(空穴的清除剂)、异丙醇(羟基自由基的清除剂)和对苯醌(超氧自由基的淬灭剂)等来判断光催化过程中起主要作用的活性自由基.实验证实空穴是Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3光催化剂在降解RhB过程中产生的主要活性自由基物种. Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3光催化剂相对于单纯的Ag3PO4和Ag2CO3有更高的空穴产生能力.当可见光照射到复合催化剂表面时, Ag2CO3导带上的激发电子能够快速转移到Ag3PO4的导带上,同时Ag3PO4价带上的光生空穴能够快速转移到Ag2CO3的价带上. p–n结的形成提高了光生电子和空穴的分离效率,抑制了电子和空穴的再结合,因此,复合光催化剂光催化降解效率提高.综上所述, Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3之间能形成有效p–n结,40%-Ag3PO4/Ag2CO3复合光催化剂表现出最佳的光催化性能.     

[N(PPh3)2]2[{Au3Ag2(C2Ph)6} {Au3Cu2(Cu2Ph)6}]: Co-crystallized pentanuclear bimetallic gold-silver and gold-copper clusters

The X-ray structural study of the reaction product of equimolar amounts of [Au₃Cu₂(C₂Ph)₆]. [{Au(C₂Ph)} _n ], and [Ag(C₂Ph)} _n ] revealed two bimetallic anionic [N(PPh₃)₂] + [Au₃Ag₂(C₂Ph)₆]^– and [N(PPh₃)₂]⁺[Au₃Cu₂ (C₂ Pg)₆] — clusters co-crystallized in one asymmetric unit. Each cluster has trigonal bipyramidal geometry with three gold atoms occupying equatorial planes and two silver or copper atoms in the apical positions. Our earlier conclusion based upon spectroscopic characterization describing the product of be above reaction as trimetallic cluster containing three coinage-metals with an overall composition [Au₃CuAg(C₂Ph)₆]^–, was erroneous.Presented at the 210th ACS Meeting, August 19–24, 1995, Chicago, Illinois.     

Synthesis and characterization of the silver maleonitrilediselenolates and silver maleonitriledithiolates [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)]4[Ag4(Se2C2(CN)2)4], [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)]4[Ag4(S2C2(CN)2)4].0.33MeCN, [NBu4]4[Ag4(S2C2(CN)2)4], [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)]3[Ag(Se2C2(CN)2)2].2MeCN, and [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)]3[Ag(S2C2(CN)2)2

Reaction of AgBF(4), KNH(2), K(2)Se, Se, and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](4)[Ag(4)(Se(2)C(2)(CN)(2))(4)] (1). In the unit cell of 1 there are four [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](+) units and a tetrahedral Ag(4) anionic core coordinated in mu(1)-Se, mu(2)-Se fashion by each of four mns ligands (mns = maleonitrilediselenolate, [Se(2)C(2)(CN)(2)](2)(-)). Reaction of AgNO(3), Na(2)(mnt) (mnt = maleonitriledithiolate, [S(2)C(2)(CN)(2)](2)(-)), and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)](4)[Ag(4)(mnt)(4)].0.33MeCN (2). The Ag(4) anion of 2 is analogous to that in 1. Reaction of AgNO(3), Na(2)(mnt), and [NBu(4)]Br in acetonitrile yields [NBu(4)](4)[Ag(4)(mnt)(4)] (3). The anion of 3 also comprises an Ag(4) core coordinated by four mnt ligands, but the Ag(4) core is diamond-shaped rather than tetrahedral. Reaction of [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mns)(Se(6))] with KNH(2) and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mns)(2)].2MeCN (4). The anion of 4 comprises an Ag center coordinated by two mns ligands in a tetrahedral arrangement. Reaction of AgNO(3), 2 equiv of Na(2)(mnt), and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mnt)(2)] (5). The anion of 5 is analogous to that of 4. Electronic absorption and infrared spectra of each complex show behavior characteristic of metal-maleonitriledichalcogenates. Crystal data (153 K): 1, P2/n, Z = 2, a = 18.362(2) A, b = 16.500(1) A, c = 19.673(2) A, beta = 94.67(1) degrees, V = 5941(1) A(3); 2, P4, Z = 4, a= 27.039(4) A, c = 15.358(3) A, V = 11229(3) A(3); 3, P2(1)/c, Z = 6, a = 15.689(3) A, b = 51.924(11) A, c = 17.393(4) A, beta = 93.51(1) degrees, V = 14142(5) A(3); 4, P2(1)/c, Z = 4, a = 13.997(1) A, b = 21.866(2) A, c = 28.281(2) A, beta = 97.72(1) degrees, V = 8578(1) A(3); 5, P2/n, Z = 2, a = 11.547(2) A, b = 11.766(2) A, c = 27.774(6) A, beta = 91.85(3) degrees, V = 3772(1) A(3).     

Ternary arsenides A2Zn2As3 (A = Sr, Eu) and their stuffed derivatives A2Ag2ZnAs3

The ternary arsenides A(2)Zn(2)As(3) and the quaternary derivatives A(2)Ag(2)ZnAs(3) (A = Sr, Eu) have been prepared by stoichiometric reaction of the elements at 800 °C. Compounds A(2)Zn(2)As(3) crystallize with the monoclinic Ba(2)Cd(2)Sb(3)-type structure (Pearson symbol mC28, space group C2/m, Z = 4; a = 16.212(5) ?, b = 4.275(1) ?, c = 11.955(3) ?, β = 126.271(3)° for Sr(2)Zn(2)As(3); a = 16.032(4) ?, b = 4.255(1) ?, c = 11.871(3) ?, β = 126.525(3)° for Eu(2)Zn(2)As(3)) in which CaAl(2)Si(2)-type fragments, built up of edge-sharing Zn-centered tetrahedra, are interconnected by homoatomic As-As bonds to form anionic slabs [Zn(2)As(3)](4-) separated by A(2+) cations. Compounds A(2)Ag(2)ZnAs(3) crystallize with the monoclinic Yb(2)Zn(3)Ge(3)-type structure (Pearson symbol mC32, space group C2/m; a = 16.759(2) ?, b = 4.4689(5) ?, c = 12.202(1) ?, β = 127.058(1)° for Sr(2)Ag(2)ZnAs(3); a = 16.427(1) ?, b = 4.4721(3) ?, c = 11.9613(7) ?, β = 126.205(1)° for Eu(2)Ag(2)ZnAs(3)), which can be regarded as a stuffed derivative of the Ba(2)Cd(2)Sb(3)-type structure with additional transition-metal atoms in tetrahedral coordination inserted to link the anionic slabs together. The Ag and Zn atoms undergo disorder but with preferential occupancy over four sites centered in either tetrahedral or trigonal planar geometry. The site distribution of these metal atoms depends on a complex interplay of size and electronic factors. All compounds are Zintl phases. Band structure calculations predict that Sr(2)Zn(2)As(3) is a narrow band gap semiconductor and Sr(2)Ag(2)ZnAs(3) is a semimetal. Electrical resistivity measurements revealed band gaps of 0.04 eV for Sr(2)Zn(2)As(3) and 0.02 eV for Eu(2)Zn(2)As(3), the latter undergoing an apparent metal-to-semiconductor transition at 25 K.     

Pd2Ag triangle supported by two micro3-amidopyridine ligands

[Pd(tmeda)(Hampy-N1)(H2O)]2+ (tmeda=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine; Hampy=2-aminopyridine) forms in the presence of Ag+ at pH 8-9 a triangular Pd2Ag complex containing two deprotonated ampy- ligands. It has been crystallized and structurally characterized with nitrate anions and a second co-crystallized AgNO3, [{Pd(ampy)(tmeda)}2Ag(micro-NO3)2Ag(NO3)2]. The two amidopyridine ligands are triply bridging, binding to Ag+ in a monodentate fashion viaN1, and to two PdII centres in a micro2-bridging fashion via the monodeprotonated N2 position. The resulting four-membered Pd(ampy)2Pd metallacycle is syn-planar with Pd[dot dot dot]Pd separations of 3.0878(13) A. The Pd...Ag distances are 3.0879(14) A in (isosceles triangle). In solution (D2O), the two ampy- ligand in are non-equivalent as concluded from a detailed 1H NMR spectroscopic study and confirmed by a 13C NMR spectrum. Removal of Ag+ from, as achieved by addition of Cl-, causes cluster degradation and linkage isomerization of PdII(tmeda) from the exocyclic N2 to the endocyclic N1 position.     

Al2O3负载Ag催化剂的杀菌作用

 考察了空气中Al2O3负载的Ag催化剂(Ag/Al2O3和AgCl/Al2O3)对大肠杆菌(E.coli)的杀灭作用. 结果表明,负载Ag的催化剂的杀菌效果明显好于Al2O3. 在空气中,催化剂上溶出的Ag+对细菌的重金属毒性可以忽略. Ag/Al2O3, AgCl/Al2O3和Al2O3在有氧和无氧条件下的杀菌效果表明, Ag促进了催化剂表面分子态氧向活性氧转化,活性氧通过氧化作用破坏E.coli 的细胞膜,从而提高了催化剂的杀菌能力. 扫描电镜结果证实在催化剂表面E.coli细胞的破坏是从细胞膜开始的.     

The electrochemical reduction of an unsaturated mixed-metal cluster anion: Synthesis and x-ray crystal structure of [(Ph3P)2N][{Os3H(CO)10}2Ag]

The unsaturated mixed-metal cluster anion [{Os₃H(CO)₁₀}₂Ag]^? has been prepared by the reaction of [(Ph₃P)₂N][Os₃H(CO)₁₁] with Ag[PF₆], and the anion has been shown by an X-ray analysis to consist of an Ag^I atom linking together two “Os₃H(CO)₁₀” fragments. The electrochemistry of this complex has been investigated and it has been shown to undergo two one-electron reductions.     

Vibrational analysis of Ag3(PO2NH)3, Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O, Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O,

FT IR and FT Raman spectra of Ag3(PO2NH), (Compound 1), Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound II), Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O (Compound III), [C(NH2)3]3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound IV) and (NH4)4(PO2NH)4 x 4H2O (Compound V) are recorded and analyzed on the basis of the anions, cations and water molecules present in each of them. The PO2NH- anion ring in compound I is distorted due to the influence of Ag+ cation. Wide variation in the hydrogen bond lengths in compound III is indicated by the splitting of the v2 and v3 modes of vibration of water molecules. The NH4 ion in compound V occupies lower site symmetry and exhibits hindered rotation in the lattice. The correlations between the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of P-N-P bridge and the P-N-P bond angle have also been discussed.     

Anion dependence of Ag(I) reactions with 3,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (bptz): isolation of the molecular propeller compound [Ag2(bptz)3][AsF6]2

The new compound [Ag(2)(bptz)(3)][AsF(6)](2), prepared from the reaction of bptz with Ag[AsF(6)] in CH(3)CN, is stable in solution as well as the solid-state and exhibits an unprecedented propeller arrangement of three bptz ligands spanning two Ag(i) ions with [AsF(6)](-) anions located in the folds of the cation.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, quantum chemical calculations, DNA interactions, and antimicrobial activity of [Ag(2-amino-3-methylpyridine)(2)]NO(3) and [Ag(pyridine-2-carboxaldoxime)NO(3)

[Ag(2-amino-3-methylpyridine)(2)]NO(3) (1) and [Ag(pyridine-2-carboxaldoxime)NO(3)] (2) were prepared from corresponding ligands and AgNO(3) in water/ethanol solutions, and the products were characterized by IR, elemental analysis, NMR, and TGA. The X-ray crystal structures of the two compounds show that the geometry around the silver(I) ion is bent for complex 1 with nitrate as an anion and trigonal planar for complex 2 with nitrate coordinated. ESI-MS results of solutions of 2 indicate the independent existence in solution of the [Ag(pyridine-2-carboxaldoxime)](+) ion. The geometries of the complexes are well described by DFT calculations using the ZORA relativistic approach. The compounds were tested against 14 different clinically isolated and four ATCC standard bacteria and yeasts and also compared with 17 commonly used antibiotics. Both 1 and 2 exhibited considerable activity against S. lutea , M. lutea , and S. aureus and against the yeast Candida albicans , while 2-amino-3-methylpyridine is slightly active and pyridine-2-carboxaldoxime shows no antimicrobial activity. In addition, the interaction of these metal complexes with DNA was investigated. Both 1 and 2 bind to DNA and reduce its electrophoretic mobility with different patterns of migration, while the ligands themselves induce no change.
