The in vitro antimycobacterial activity of cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes of some fluorinated isonicotinoylhydrazones was evaluated in a TB-infected macrophage model; all metalcomplexes exhibited excellent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis Erdman growing within macrophages, at concentrations much lower than in culture media. Moreover complexes 1b and 2a displayed EC(99) values lower than that of the parent-drug, isoniazid. In addition, all tested metalchelates significantly inhibited the growth of single-drug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains; complexes 1a and 2a also possessed moderate activity against Mycobacterium avium complex.

Hydrates of N-((10-Chloroanthracen-9-yl)methyl)-3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-1-ammonium Cobalt(II), Copper(II), and Zinc(II) 2,6-Pyridinedicarboxylate: Reversible Crystallization.

In a quest to explore interconvertible assemblies of hydrates of cobalt(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate (), complexes having cation of a chloro-substituted analogue N-{(10-chloroanthracen-9-yl)methyl}-3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propan-1-amine were investigated. In the case of cobalt and copper complexes, a crystallized stable hydrate and a less stable methanol hydrate were guided by concentration-dependent crystallizations. The unit-cells of the crystals of the methanol hydrates of the two cobalt and copper complexes each belong to the P1̅ space group but have different stoichiometries as well as large differences in packing.

Article Synopsis
- The reaction of four 1,2-dibromoxylenes with two tetra-3-pyridylporphyrins resulted in the creation of a metal-free organic nanocage (oNC) that was produced in a highly efficient 91.5% yield.
- The synthesized oNC was subsequently metalated with cobalt(II), copper(II), and nickel(II) ions to produce dinuclear complexes, which were characterized using various analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.
- The cofacial cobalt porphyrins showed significant potential as catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction, demonstrating high selectivity for producing hydroxyl during electrochemical processes, while the robust architecture of the oNC allows for potential applications with

Oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) stands as an attractive approach for the synthesis, engineering, and integration of conjugated polymers for advanced electronic and optoelectronic applications. In oCVD, the oxidant significantly influences the conformational and optoelectronic properties of the resulting conjugated polymer thin films. In this work, triflate salts of iron(III) and copper(II) (Fe(OTf) and Cu(OTf), respectively) are investigated for the first time as suitable alternative oxidants to the widely used iron(III) chloride (FeCl) for the oCVD of conjugated polymers.

This study introduces a novel ion-imprinted polymer for the ultrasensitive detection of mercury(II) in water. The ion-imprinted polymer was synthesized via a simple bulk polymerization process using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker, morpholine-4-carbodithioic acid phenyl ester as the chelating agent, and ammonium persulfate as the initiator. The electrochemical mercury(II) sensing capability of the ion-imprinted polymer was studied via the modification of a cost-effective carbon paste electrode.
