Dual-ligand approach for the solvent-free synthesis of indium-based coordination polymers

A new thermostable Cu(II) coordination polymer: photocatalytic activity and application values on diabetes

A Cu(II) coordination polymer with the composition of [Cu₂(L)₂(4,4'-bipy)₂]_n·2 n(ClO₄) (1, HL = 4-methyl-L-phenylalanine and 4,4'-bipy is 4,4'-bipyridine), was successfully obtained by the reaction of the mixed ligand of HL and 4,4'-bipy with Cu(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O under solvothermal condition. The as-synthesized compound not only has high thermal stability until 275°C but also excellent photocatalytic activity for the methyl blue solution degradation under the irradiation of ultraviolet light. Furthermore, the compound's treatment activity on the diabetes was determined and its relevant mechanism was also studied. The cytotoxicity or hemolysis toxicity (HC50) of the synthesized compound was also evaluated in this research.

Crystal Structure and Biological Evaluation of Two Novel Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials as Antitumor Agents in the Treatment of Liver Cancer

Two novel organic-inorganic hybrid materials {(Hbiz)6[AsIII2AsVMoVI18O62]}·H2O (1, biz = benzimidazole) and (dim)[AsIII2AsVMoVI18O62] [2, dim = 1,6-bis(imidazol)hexane] have been successfully obtained by using the molybdenum arsenate and different N donor organic compounds and determined through X-ray single-crystal diffraction technique. The in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1 and 2 was then investigated against three human liver tumor cell lines (SMMC7721, Bel-7402, and MHCC97) by MTT assay. It was found that the two compounds showed potent use as antitumor agents against the aforementioned cell lines.
