Abstract:
A simple and green synthesis of some fluorinated chalcone-triazole hybrids from propargylated chalcones and organic azides catalyzed by cellulose supported copper nanoparticles click reaction is reported. All the synthesized compounds were well characterized by various analytical and spectroscopic methods. The X-rays crystallographic study of compounds 6k revealed the self assembling properties. The antimicrobial screening results of all the synthesized compounds revealed that most of the triazole hybrids exhibited significant efficacy against tested bacterial and fungal strains. The activity results showed the synergistic effect of biological activity when two pharmacophoric units, i.e. chalcone and 1,2,3-triazole are conjugated. Further, docking simulation of the most active compounds 6p into Escherichia coli topoisomerase II DNA Gyrase B was also carried out.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
