Well-dispersed graphene oxide sheets were successfully incorporated into a superabsorbent resin through in situ graft polymerization of acrylic acid on carboxymethyl cellulose backbone in the presence of graphene oxide as filler. The structure and properties of the resultant superabsorbent resin were studied in detail by means of a variety of characterization methods. The influence of the feed ratio of starting materials (such as GO, initiator, cross-linker, the ratio of CMC to AA and the neutralized degree of AA) and pH values on water absorbency and retention ability was extensively determined and discussed.

In the title compound, {[Ag(C(14)H(10)N(4)O)(2)]AsF(6)}(n), the Ag(I) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two different pyridyl rings and one N atom from one carbonitrile group of three different N'-(4-cyano-benzyl-idene)nicotinohydrazide ligands in a distorted T-shaped geometry. The Ag-N(carbonitrile) bond distance is significant longer than those of Ag-N(pyrid-yl). The bond angles around the Ag(I) atom are also not in line with those in an ideal T-shaped geometry.

In the title polymer, {[Cu(SO(4))(C(12)H(9)N(3)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·4H(2)O}(n), both the metal center and the sulfate anion are located on a twofold axis. The Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two pyridyl N atoms from two symmetry-related organic ligands, two O atoms from two symmetry-related water mol-ecules, and two O atoms from two symmetry-related sulfate anions, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The sulfate anions act as μ(2)-bridges and connect metal ions, forming a one-dimensional chain along the b axis.
