Spectral, magnetic, thermal and biological studies on Ca(II) and Cu(II) complexes with a novel crowned Schiff base

Effect of properties of the N,N-dimethylformamide + methanol and N,N-dimethylformamide + water mixtures on the solution enthalpy of cyclic ethers in these mixtures at 298.15 K

“…We calculated the deviations from additivity of the solution enthalpy of cyclic ethers using Eq. (5).…”

“…Crown ethers are very well-known and interesting compounds widely used in biology, medicine and chemistry. Because of their structure, they can form complexes with cations [1,2] and small organic molecules [3][4][5][6]. Crown ethers are among the most popular catalysts used in the organic synthesis technique called phase-transfer catalysis [7][8][9][10] and in the nucleophilic substitution [11].…”

Metal Complexes—A Promising Approach to Target Biofilm Associated Infections

“…The scientific literature reports a large diversity of species concerning both metal ions and ligands available for designing such effective anti-biofilm species ranging from simple to bulky ligands and acting as unidentate to multidentate species. A variety of complexes with anti-biofilm activity, ranging from species with known antibiotics or natural products to new synthetic ligands, mainly with low toxicity and chelating ability have been developed [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , <...>…”
