The present paper is focused on simultaneous sorption concentration of gold (III) and silver (I) from thiocyanate solutions using high-selective anion exchanger AN-25 and subsequent separation of these ions at various concentrations of thiocarbamide (eluent). As a result, silver (I) ions are completely eluted from AN-25 and gold (III) ions remain in the resin phase and can be determined directly in the solid phase by diffuse reflection spectroscopy. It is proposed to use the sorption-spectroscopic method for Au(III) determination in aqueous solutions. The calibration curve is linear in the concentration range of 1-19 mg/L (sample volume is 10.0 mL) and the detection limit is 0.05 ${\mu}g/mL$. The presence of Cu(II), Co(II), Fe(II) do not hinder this determination. Au(III) was determined in industrial solutions.

The crystal structure of $Ag^+$-exchanged zeolite A vacuum-dehydrated at $370^{\circ}C$ and then treated with carbon monoxide at $$23^{\circ}C$ has been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction methods in the cubic space group Pm3m at $23^(1){\circ}C$ ; a = 12.116 (2)${\AA}$. The structure was refined to the final error indices $R_1\;=\;0.061\;and\;R_2$(weighted) = 0.068 using 349 independent reflections for which I > 3${\sigma}(I).\;3.6\;Ag_+-CO$ complexes, where -CO may represent -CHO or -$CH_2OH$, were found in each large cavity. By coordination to silver atoms followed by reaction with $Ag^{\circ}and\;H^+$ within the zeolite, carbon monoxide has been partially reduced. In about 28% of the sodalite units, a $Ag_6(Ag^+)_2$ cluster may be present. In about 37% of the sodalite units, three $Ag^+$ ions are found on threefold axes where they may be bridged by three water molecules. The remaining 35% of the sodalite units are empty of silver species. Two $Ag^+$ ions per unit cell are associated with 8-ring oxygens. The remaining ca $$3Ag^+$ ions per unit cell have been reduced during the synthesis and have migrated to form small silver crystallities on the surface of the zeolite single crystal.

The silver selenide electrode has been prepared and its properties as an indicating electrode for silver ion have been investigated. Epoxy resin was used as a filler of silver selenide electrode. Silver metal plate was directly connected with the membrane of the electrode and the silver paste was used as its binder. The sintered electrode was more sensitive and stable than the pressed electrode, and the silver selenide electrode more sensitive than the silver sulfide electrode to silver ion. The linear relationship between the electrode potential and logarithmic concentration of silver ion has been observed down to 10-6 M for the electrode. Several heavy metal ions except mercuric ion did not interfere this linearity, but halide, cyanide, and thiocyanate ions did intensively interfere owing to the formation of silver compounds and complexes. This electrode has been applied to the potentiometric titration for determining halide ion. It is concluded that interferences from ,$CN^-, SCN^-, S^-, I^-, Br^-, Cl^- and Hg^{2+}$ ions are detrimental to the practical use of the electrodes for measuring pAg.

In this work, silver nitrate complexes of sulfanilamide-5-methyl-2-thiophene carboxaldehyde (SMTCA) ligand intercalated Zn/Al-layered double hydroxide [Ag-SMTCA-LDH] were synthesized for the potential application as an antimicrobial system. The SMTCA ligand was synthesized by reacting sulfanilamide and 5-methyl-2-thiophene carboxaldehyde in methanol and further complexation with silver nitrate metal ions [Ag-SMTCA]. The structural analyses of synthesized compounds confirmed an intercalation of Ag-SMTCA into Zn/Al-NO₃-LDH by flake/restacking method. SMTCA, Ag-SMTCA and Ag-SMTCA-LDH were characterized by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was found that Ag-SMTCA-LDH exhibited good antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, [B. subtilis], Staphylococcus aures, [S. aureus]) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli, [E. coli], Pseudomonas aeruginosa [P. aeroginosa]) bacteria as well as excellent antioxidant activity.

Metallacyclodimers, [Ag(OTf)($L1)]_2$ and [Ag($L2)]_2(OTf)_2$ (L1 = 1,3-dibromo-2,2-bis[(isonicotinoyloxy)methyl] propane; L2 = 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(isonicotinoyloxy)hexane) were constructed and characterized. The crystal structure of [Ag(OTf)($L1)]_2$ reveals a 32-membered cyclodimer, whereas that of [Ag($L2)]_2(OTf)_2$ shows a linked 34-membered cyclodimer chain via intercyclic argentophilic (Ag…Ag) interactions. [Ag(OTf)($(L1)]_2$ affords “intramolecular $\pi-\pi$ interaction cyclodimer” whereas [Ag($L2)]_2(OTf)_2$ produces a racemic mixture of “twisted cyclodimer”. Ring-conformation of the cyclodimers was affected via the competition of electrostatic interaction and argentophilic interaction.

Trifluoroacetate anion as a connector has been studied on $AgCF_3CO_2$ with 3,3'-$Py_2X$(X=O vs S) produces 1 : 1 adducts of [Ag($CF_3CO_2$)(3,3'-$Py_2X<$)]. Crystallographic characterization of [Ag($CF_3CO_2$)(3,3'-$Py_2X$)](monoclinic $P2_1$a=7.383(1)$\AA$b=19.801(3)$\AA$c=9.297(3)$\AA$,$\beta$=$100.26(2)^{\circ}$,V=1337.4(5) $\AA^3$, Z=2, R=0.0386) reveals that the 3,3'-$Py_2O$ spacer connects two silver ions to give a single strand and that the single strands are linked via the trifluoroacetate anions in an "up and down even-bridge" to give an elegant molecular grid. The framework of [$Ag(CF_3CO_2)(3,3'-Py_2X)$](monoclinic $P2_1/c$a=8.331(2)$\AA$b=14.010(2)$\AA$,c=11.926(3 $\AA$$\beta$=$93.70(2)^{\circ}$=1385.1(6)$\AA^3$, Z=4, R=0.0589) is a single-strand. The single strands are connected via the trifluoroacetate anions in a double-bridge, resulting in a typical molecular chicken-wire. The trifluoroacetate anion as a connector appears to be primarily associated with its moderately coordinating ability. Their structural features have been discussed based on the anion exchangeability. Thermal analyses indicate that the compounds are stable up to approximately $200^{\circ}C$.

The neutral monomeric compounds $[Mo(NO)_2Cl_2(phen)]$ and $[W(NO)_2Cl_2(phen)]$ (phen= 1,10-phenanthroline) have been prepared by reactions of polymeric compounds $[{Mo(NO)_2Cl_2}n],\;[{W(NO)_2Cl_2}n]$ with chelate ligands. Additions of one equivalent of silver(I) perchlorate to these cis-dinitrosyl compounds in acetone solution produce $[Mo(NO)_2(phen)(S)Cl][ClO_4]\;and\;[W(NO)_2(phen)(S)Cl][ClO_4]$ (S = acetone). The homo- and hetero-dinuclear complexes, $[Cl(phen)(NO)_2M(pyz)M'(NO)_2(phen)Cl][ClO_4]_2$ (M = Mo, W) and $[Cl(phen)(NO)_2M(pyz)M'(NO)_2(phen)Cl][C1O_4]_2$ (M = Mo, M' = W) have been prepared by these monocationic complexes with pyrazine ligand respectively. These complexes characterized by elemental analysis, $1^H-\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$, infrared, and UV-visible spectroscopy are reported. The spectral data indicate that homo- and hetero-dinuclear complexes were symmetrical structures of $C_{2v}$.

Five Cu(II) compounds were obtained from different copper salts with btp ligands, and their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure of coordination polymer 2 contains btp-bridged tetranuclear Cu(II) units weakly connected by nitrate ions, and the structure of a discrete Cu(II) molecule 1 contains acetates and btp ligands. With perchlorate anions, two btp ligands bridge Cu(II) ions to form a double zigzag chain 3, while a single zigzag chain 4 is created with sulfate anions. The reaction of $Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$ containing $NH_{4}PF_{6}$ with btp ligands also produced a polymeric compound 5 containing $Cu(H_{2}O)_{2}^{2+}$ and $Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$ units alternatively bridged by btp ligands with H-bonds between copper bonded water and nitrate oxygen atoms. Five Zn(II) compounds were obtained from different zinc salts with btp ligands, and the structures of polymeric compounds (6, 7 and 8) and monomeric compounds (9 and 10) were determined by X-ray crystallography. With nitrate, chloride and bromide anions, btp ligands bridge Zn(II) ions to form polymeric compounds (6, 7 and 8), but btp ligands coordinate to a Zn(II) ion to form monomeric complexes (9 and 10) with $PF_{6}^{-}$ and perchlorate anions. Four silver salts and btp ligands produced two kinds of structures, dinuclear 20-membered rings and one-dimensional zigzag chain depending on different anions. For $ClO_{4}^{-}$ and OTf anions, weak interactions between Ag(I) and anions make dinuclear 20-membered rings construct polymeric compounds (11 and 13). For $PF_{6}^{-}$ anion, there are also weak interactions between Ag(I) and $F(PF_{6}^{-})(12)$, but they do not construct a polymeric compound. For $O_{2}CCF_{3}^{-}$ anion, btp ligands bridge Ag(I) atoms to make one-dimensional zigzag chain (14), and there are also interactions between Ag(I) and anions.

The polypeptide patterns of cellular and follicular components were analysed by SDS-PAGE and two dimensional(2-D)electrophoresis combined with isoelectric focusing (IEF) to establish protein profiles in each of the components in porcine follicles. Oocyte-cumulus complexes were cultured in M16+FCS+Gn at 39 in an atmosphere of 5% CO$_2$, in air for 35 h. At the end of the culture, the zona-free oocyte, ZP alone and cumulus cells were prepared and analysed either on 10% SDS-PAGE for the protein profile at the first dimensional gel or 2-D protein pattern. The amounts of each samples were determined for the visualization with Coomasie brilliant blue (CBB) or silver staining, thus giving useful information for the identification of specific proteins in the components or appropriate amount of samples for proper visualization. Oocyte showed 25 and 114 kd major protein band. Other minor components were additionally visualized with CBB on the same gel after silver staining procedure. Cumulus cells also showed specific proteins which is not present in the oocytes. The number of cumulus cell was proper to give major bands with CBB and additional minor bands with silver staining. To establish the degree of contamination from the remnant of the corona radiata to the ZP, zonae were differently prepared or analysed by SDS-PAGE.The preparation of the ZP in this study did not showed any contamination judged by the protein profile of the components. Also follicular fluid showed its specific protein profile without any significant differences among the different sizes of follicles. The established protein profile of each follicular component should be helpful for the identification and elimination of contaminated components, i. e., antigen preparation or immunological studies. The results also suggest that the preparation of each components in the study was appropriate and can be used for a further sensitive biochemical analysis in mammalian oocytes and early embryos.
