The complex [Zn(phthiocol)(2)(H2O)(2)]; 1, where phthiocol is 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, electrochemical and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The v(C=O) stretch shifts to lower frequencies upon complexation of phthiocol to Zn2+. H-1 NMR spectra show an upfield shift of the benzenoid ring protons in 1. There is a bathochromic shift of the LMCT band in the UV-vis spectra of 1. Single crystal X-ray structure of 1 show distorted octahedral geometry around Zn2+. Two phthiocol ligands are in plane with the metal, while water molecules are trans to this plane. Coordination of deprotonated phthiocol ligands is `trans, trans' to Zn2+. Intra as well as intermolecular interactions are observed in 1. Molecules of 1 show three dimensional network through C-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions. Additional anodic peaks are observed in cyclic voltammogram of phthiocol ligand due to oxidation of reduced species formed during reduction. One-electron reduction of 1 is shown to be reversible and DFT studies define this redox event as ligand-centered. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Derivatives of 2-chloro-3-(n-alkylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinone (1-alkyl: methyl; L-1, ethyl; L-2, propyl; L-3 and butyl; L-4) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR, UV-visible spectroscopy, LC-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Antifungal activity of L-1 to L-4 has been evaluated against Candida tropicalis, Candida albicans and Cladosporium herbarum. The intramolecular hydrogen bonding affects the N-H vibrational frequency in L-2 (3273 cm(-1)). The single crystal X-ray structure reveal that L-1 and L-3 crystallizes in triclinic P-1, whereas L-2 crystallizes in orthorhombic Pca2(1), space group. An extensive intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions were observed in L-1 to L-3 which leads to molecular association. Intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonding were observed in L-1 to L-3. Moreover pi-pi stacking interactions were observed between the quinonoid rings of L-1 and L-3, however no such interactions were observed in L-2. An electrochemical study showed molecular association of L-1 to L-4 in DMSO solution. Compounds L-1 to L-4 were found to be potent antifungal agents against all the three strains, especially against C. tropicalis. Amongst these promising antifungal candidates, L-1 showed better activity compared to the clinically administered antifungal drug Amphotericin B and Nitrofurantoin with MIC = 1.25 mu g ml(-1) and MIC = 0.025 mu g ml(-1) respectively against C. albicans. Structure and activity relationship (SAR) study suggest a LogP value of similar to 2.0 and the cyclic voltammetry studies reveals additional chemical processes for L-1, which exhibits maximum activity against all fungal strains.

Four analogues of 2-bromo-3-(n-alkylamino)-1,4-napthoquinone (where n-alkyl is methyl in L-1Br, ethyl in L-2Br, propyl in L-3Br and butyl in L-4Br) are synthesized and characterized. A reaction mechanism is proposed for the formation of L-1 Br to L-4Br from the starting material 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone. The v(N-H) frequency in the FT-IR spectra is affected by the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in L-1Br to L-4Br and is observed similar to 3267 cm(-1) in L-2Br. A shift of similar to 25 cm(-1) is observed in the v(C-Br) frequency in all the compounds as compared to 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone (627 cm(-1)). A broad charge transfer band is observed between 400 and 600 nm in the UV-Vis spectra, which imparts red colour to all the compounds. Molecular structures of L-2Br and L-3Br were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Molecules of L-2Br crystallize in Pca2(1), whereas the molecule L-3Br crystallizes in the P-1 space group. Molecules of L-2Br forms a polymeric chain through N-H...O interaction and forms beautiful butterfly like arrangement of molecules when viewed down the `a' axis. Ladder like polymeric chain of molecules is observed in L-3Br via C-H...O and N-H...O interactions. Every alternating neighbouring chains of L-3Br, show pi-pi stacking interactions between the quinonoid rings of the molecules, however this interaction is not observed in L-2Br.

Green synthesis of nanoparticles is regarded as a safe and non-toxic process whereas conventional synthesis using chemical methods produces toxic substance. This study provides a novel insight for enzymatic synthesis method of silver nanoparticles using purple acid phosphatase, isolated from Limonia acidissima (wood apple) as a new source and used in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Stable silver nanoparticles were produced by sonochemical method using apoenzyme as a stabilising and capping agent and were characterised by various physicochemical techniques like UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. X-ray study shows that nanoparticles are composed of silver and silver oxide. The synthesised nanoparticles exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.
