In this work, we developed a technology that enables rapid deposition of biomimetic composite films onto natural enamel slices (known as biotemplates). These films are composed of polydopamine (PDA) and nanocrystalline carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (nano-cHAp) that have been functionalized with amino acid l-Arginine. We utilized atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) combined with infrared (IR) synchrotron to achieve nanoscale spatial resolution for both IR absorption and topography analyses.

- Two heterometallic Cu(II)/Ni(II) coordination polymers were created in water using specific chemical reactions, resulting in distinct metal-organic architectures.
- The structures of these polymers were analyzed using various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements, revealing strong antiferromagnetic interactions between the copper ions.
- The study showcases a simple self-assembly method for synthesizing these materials, potentially expanding the range of functional heterometallic coordination polymers.
The development of sustainable biomaterials and surfaces to prevent the accumulation and proliferation of viruses and bacteria is highly demanded in healthcare areas. This study describes the assembly and full characterization of two new bioactive silver(I) coordination polymers (CPs) formulated as [Ag(aca)(μ-PTA)]·5HO () and [Ag(μ-ada)(μ-PTA)]·4HO (). These products were generated by exploiting a heteroleptic approach based on the use of two different adamantoid building blocks, namely 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) and 1-adamantanecarboxylic (Haca) or 1,3-adamantanedicarboxylic (Hada) acids, resulting in the assembly of 1D () and 3D ().

A significant signal was observed for the first time at LHC energies down to zero transverse momentum, at forward rapidity (2.

These trials largely proved unsuccessful. However, bevacizumab turned out to be efficient when administered in combination with other anticancer drugs.
