A new inorganic-organic hybrid compound, [{Cu(phen)2}2(H4W12O40)], was synthesized, and its crystal structure was determined. The Keggin anion H4W12O40
4− was grafted with two coordination units {Cu(phen)2}, forming an electrically neutral molecule. The antibacterial activity of several polyoxometalate compounds with different anionic structures including the new compound was studied. The results show that the compound 1 can inhibit the growth of Enterococcus faecalis FA2 strains and that antibacterial activity of the polyoxometalate compounds is dependent with component elements of POM but is less relative with the anion structures.
Different parameters are used to characterize the conductivity of copper powder with silver plating. Ethanediamine(C2H8N2) is employed to adjust the pH value of plating solution (solution A), and chelate Cu2+ generated by side reaction, forming sound five-membered ring structure with Cu2+, thus preventing the formation of Cu(NH3)42+ which can avoid adsorption of Cu(NH3)42+ on the surface of copper powder. In this way silver-plated copper powder with conductivity equal to fine silver powder can be obtained, the effects of dosage of C2H8N2 and Tollens' reagent concentration on performance of silver-plated copper powder have also been investigated. The result shows that dosage of C2H8N2 has significant effects on electrical conductivity of silver-plated copper powder. The dosage of C2H8N2 should ensure that pH value of control solution A maintains 9.0~10.0. The concentration of Tollens' reagent should make sure that the generated silver-plated copper powder is most even and continuous and tightness when silver particles in form of heterogeneous nucleation is surrounded on the surface of copper powder, , and the optimum concentration is 0.09mol/L. The conductivity of silver-plated copper powder made by Tollens' reagent with 0.09mol/L concentration is optimal, which is 3.9×10-4Ω•cm,when adjusting the pH value of solution A to 9.5 by C2H8N2 control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
