research papersCrystal structure characterization and electronic structure of a rare-earth-containing Zintl phase in the Yb–Al–Sb family: Yb3AlSb3
A rare-earth containing compound, Yb3AlSb3 (Ca3AlAs3-type structure), has been successfully synthesized within the Yb–Al–Sb system through flux methods. The crystal structure features infinite corner-sharing AlSb4 tetrahedra, [AlSb2Sb2/2]6−, with Yb2+ cations residing between the tetrahedra to provide charge balance.
research papersNovel Ba2+ and Pb2+ metal–organic frameworks based on a semi-rigid tetracarboxylic acid: syntheses, structures, topologies and luminescence properties
Two new main-group metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on the semi-rigid tetracarboxylic acid 5,5′-methylenebis(2,4,6-trimethylisophthalic acid) were prepared under hydrothermal conditions and characterized. The Ba complex reveals a three-dimensional flu network formed via bridging tetranuclear SBUs, while the Pb complex displays a three-dimensional framework with an sqp topology based on one-dimensional metal chains. The luminescence properties of both complexes have also been investigated in the solid state.
research papersBis(2-nitrophenyl) selenide, bis(2-aminophenyl) selenide and bis(2-aminophenyl) telluride: structural and theoretical analysis
Theoretical and structural studies have been carried out on bis(2-nitrophenyl) selenide, bis(2-aminophenyl) selenide, and bis(2-aminophenyl) telluride.
research papersSynthesis, spectroscopic investigation, crystal structure analysis, quantum chemical study, biological activity and molecular docking of three isatin derivatives
Three isatin derivatives were synthesized, crystallized by the slow-evaporation technique, characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and analysed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Quantum chemical parameters were calculated and the druglikeness and bioactivity scores of the compounds were predicted. The activities of these isatin derivatives against bacterial and fungal strains were determined using the well-diffusion assay method. Molecular docking studies were carried out to predict the binding mode of the isatin compounds with the penicillin binding protein enzyme.
