Synthesis, Structure, and Biological Properties of a 1D Silver(I) Coordination Polymer Based on 10-(4-Etoxyphenyl)phenoxarsine

1D coordination silver(I) polymer [L2AgONO2]n has been obtained via the reaction of 10-(4-ethoxyphenyl)phenoxarsine with silver(I) nitrate (metal : ligand molar ratio 1 : 2) in ethanol. The complex has been identified and characterized by a set of physicochemical methods of analysis (mass spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis). The ligand and its Ag(I) complex have been evaluated for cytotoxicity against the cancer cell lines M-HeLa and HuTu 80 and the normal cell line Chang liver; antimicrobial activity of the complex against a series of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria has been investigated.
