Three new manganese coordination polymers, {[Mn2(1,4-NDC)2(phen)2](H2O)}n (1), [Mn2(1,4-NDC)2(phen)(H2O)]n (2) and {[Mn4(1,4-NDC)4(phen)4](DMF)2}n (3) (1,4-H2NDC = 1,4-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), have been synthesized solvo/hydrothermally. 1,4-NDC(2-) ligands adopt different coordination modes under different solvents and concentrations which promotes different crystal structure formation. X-ray crystal structural data reveal that compounds 1, 2 and 3 crystallize in monoclinic space groups C2/c, P21/c and C2/c, respectively. Compound 1 has Mn2 dimers connected by 1,4-NDC(2-) linkers, packing into a 2D structure in a grid pattern. Compound 2 has a three-dimensional (3D) structure which is constructed by Mn2 dimers and 1,4-NDC(2-) linkers. Each MnO4N2 node of compound 3 is linked to another by 1,4-NDC(2-) ligands to form a two-dimensional (2D) structure. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities of compounds 1-3 exhibit overall weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the adjacent Mn(II) ions.
Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) has been widely
used as a scaffold material for tissue engineering owing to its biocompatibility,
biodegradability, and biosafety. However, lactic acid (LA) produced
during PLGA degradation is prone to inflammation, which is a shortcoming
that must be avoided. To this end, crystalline PLGA-PEG was synthesized
here for the first time. To make the crystalline PLGA-PEG more suitable
for tissue engineering, porous crystalline PLGA-PEG was prepared via
the swelling behavior during recrystallization annealing. The structure
and properties of the porous crystalline PLGA-PEG were confirmed by
SEM, POM, and XRD. Furthermore, the swelling behavior of different
PEG molecular weights was studied, and the cell viability test and
alkaline phosphatase activity test showed that PLGA-PEG has good biocompatibility.
Such a porous crystalline PLGA-PEG will make PLGA have a broader application
prospect in bone repair.
Five new lanthanide coordination polymers, [Ln 2 (1,4-NDC) 2 (1,4-HNDC) 2 (phen) 2 ] n (Ln = Er (1), Yb (2)), and (5)) (1,4-H 2 NDC = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been successfully prepared via the reaction of corresponding trivalent lanthanide salt, 1,4-H 2 NDC and phen in the presence of NaOH and pyridine under hydrothermal condition. Pyridine plays a key role in the synthesis of these lanthanide coordination polymers. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that compounds 1-5 all form a 2-D network while different salt anions result in the diversity of crystal structures. These lanthanide coordination polymers showed a considerable thermal stability in TGA analyses.
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.
