Synthesis, structure and anti-fungal activity of dimeric Ag(I) complexes containing bis-imidazole ligands
Abuskhuna, A. and Briody, J.M. and McCann, M. and Devereux, M. and Kavanagh, K.A. and Fontecha, J.B. and McKee, V. (2004) Synthesis, structure and anti-fungal activity of dimeric Ag(I) complexes containing bis-imidazole ligands. Polyhedron, 23 . pp. 1249-1255. AbstractFive Ag(I) complexes containing the ligands bis(imidazol-2-yl)methane (2-BIM) and its derivatives were prepared and [Ag2(2-BIM)2](ClO4)2 and [Ag2(2-BIM(Bz)OH)2](ClO4)2 EtOH were characterised using X-ray crystallography. In each dimer the two Ag(I) ions are two-coordinate and there are small but definite argentophilic Ag-Ag (d10-d10) interactions. All of the complexes display anti-fungal activity when tested in vitro against the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. | Keywords: | Bis-imidazole; Bis(imidazol-2-yl)methane; X-ray structures; Silver(I); Argentophilicity; Anti-fungal; Candida albicans |
