Template Synthesis of Tetrakis-triazolylthiacalix[4]arene in the Cone Conformation and Supramolecular Structure of Its Hexanuclear Complex with Ag(I)

The Role of Calix[n]arenes and Pillar[n]arenes in the Design of Silver Nanoparticles: Self-Assembly and Application

“…The geometry of the final self-assembly was determined by both structural and coordination features of the organic tecton. The authors suggested that the obtained perspective molecular architectures can be used in catalysis, optics, electronics and magnetism [73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82].…”

Silver Nano/Microparticles

“…The relation between the size of the Ag NPs and the antibacterial effect has also been elucidated, indicating that a smaller diameter results in a higher bactericidal activity [78]. This is likely due to the structure and size of the "pits" on the cell wall, which varies depending on the types of bacteria; smaller Ag NPs can access the "pits" more efficiently than larger Ag NPs [79]. According to Gurunathan et al, in experiments using Ag NPs of 5 nm on average, nanoparticles were more effective than ampicillin or vancomycin against some bacteria [80].…”

Thiacalix[4]arene-protected alkynyl Agn (n = 9, 18) nanoclusters: syntheses, structural characterizations, photocurrent responses and fluorescence properties

“…33–36 Although thiacalix[4]arene is conducive to the formation of high nuclear metal nanoclusters, 37–41 there are relatively few thiacalix[4]arene modified silver nanoclusters. 42–50…”

“…[33][34][35][36] Although thiacalix [4]arene is conducive to the formation of high nuclear metal nanoclusters, [37][38][39][40][41] there are relatively few thiacalix [4]arene modified silver nanoclusters. [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] Recently, alkynyl, thiol, or phosphine ligand and thiacalix [4]arene as co-protective agents have been springed up in gold/ silver/copper nanoclusters. [51][52][53] Among them, thiacalix [4]arene (e.g.…”
