Sonochemical syntheses of one-dimensional silver(I) supramolecular polymer: A precursor for preparation of silver nanostructure

The effect of thermolysis temperatures of two silver(I) supramolecular polymers on the formation of silver nanostructures

“…Review of the related literature demonstrates that supramolecular polymers may be suitable precursors for preparation of desirable nanoscale materials with interesting advantages [24][25][26][27][28]. Continuing our previous works on using supramolecular polymers as new precursors for preparation of silver nanostructures [29][30][31][32][33][34][35], in this work we used [Ag(8-HqH)(8-Hq)] n (1) [36] and {[Ag(8-HqH) 2 ]NO 3 } n (2), (8-HqH = 8-hydroxyquinoline) [37] as new precursors for the preparation of silver nanoparticles. In addition, the effect of thermolysis temperature on the formation of silver nanoparticles from them was investigated.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Monometallic (Ag, Cu) and Bimetallic Ag-Cu Particles for Antibacterial and Antifungal Applications

“…Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are nontoxic and have a high electrical and thermal conductivity and strong oxidation properties but the hindrance to its use in commercial products is of high cost. Monodisperse colloidal solution of silver nanoparticles is generally synthesized by chemical reduction [8][9][10], electrochemical [11][12][13], photochemical [14][15][16], and sonochemical methods [17][18][19], and also using a pulsed laser [20][21][22]. As an alternative, researchers examined copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs), which are less expensive and present similar properties [23][24][25][26].…”

Post-synthetic ion-exchange process in nanoporous metal–organic frameworks; an effective way for modulating their structures and properties

“…Over the last two decades, supramolecular compounds have monopolized the attention of researchers and the number of their compounds being synthesized is still growing. [1][2][3] A wide branch of supramolecular compounds is "coordination polymers". CPs are obtained from the coordination bonds formed between metal centers and appropriate ligands.…”
