Comparative study on inhibitory effects of ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid on Salmonella Enteritidis biofilm formation.

Biofilm cells exhibit higher resistance than their planktonic counterparts to commonly used disinfectants in food industry. Phenolic acids are promising substitute offering less selective pressure than traditional antibiotics. This study aims to evaluate the inhibitory effects of ferulic acid (FA) and p-coumaric acid (p-CA) on Salmonella Enteritidis biofilm formation and explore the underlying inhibitory mechanisms.

Bis{2-[bis-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-κN(2))meth-yl]pyridine-κN}cobalt(II) dinitrate.

The central Co(II) ion in the title complex, [Co(C(16)H(19)N(5))(2)](NO(3))(2), is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere. It is bonded to six N atoms from two 2-[bis-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)meth-yl]pyridine ligands. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions.

Bis{2-[bis-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-κN)meth-yl]pyridine-κN}copper(II) dinitrate.

In the mononuclear title complex, [Cu(C(16)H(19)N(5))(2)](NO(3))(2), the Cu(II) ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated by six N atoms from two 2-[bis-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)meth-yl]pyridine ligands, forming a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions.

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of a novel family of penta-manganese complexes derived from an assembly system containing polydentate hydroxy-rich Schiff-base ligands.

The syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetochemical characterization are reported of a novel family of four pentanuclear manganese complexes, namely, [Mn(III)(5)(mu(3)-O)(2)(L(1))(4)(O(2)CMe)(3)(CH(3)OH)].1.5CH(3)OH.
