Background: Recently, serum sialic acid (SA) has emerged as a distinct prognostic marker for prostate cancer (PCa) and bone metastases, warranting differential treatment and prognosis for low-volume (LVD) and high-volume disease (HVD). In clinical settings, evaluating bone metastases can prove advantageous.
Objectives: We aimed to establish the correlation between SA and both bone metastasis and HVD in newly diagnosed PCa patients.
Four coordination polymers, [Co2(Hnbpdc)2(nbpdc)(bipy)2]n (1), [Co3(nbpdc)3(bipy)3(H2O)2]n·2nH2O (2), [Co4(nbpdc)4(bipy)(H2O)4]n (3), and [Co2(nbpdc)2(bpee)(3/2)]n·0.25nH2O (4) [H2nbpdc = 2-nitrobiphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid, bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine and bpee = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethane] have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods and studied by means of X-ray crystallography, topological analyses and magnetic analyses. Compounds 1–3 were synthesized from the same reactants under controlled conditions (pH and ligand ratio).

In the title complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(10)H(9)NO(4))(2)], the Zn(II) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is four-coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two 3-(2-carboxy-ethen-yl)pyridinium-1-acetate ligands in a monodentate mode and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a double-chain structure extending parallel to [101].
