The last few decades have seen a flurry of activity in the synthesis and development of 8-hydroxy-quinoline (8HQ) derivative. Various strategies can be envisaged to synthesize or modify 8HQ structures by exploiting the reactivity of this heterocycle with their derivatives by various researchers. 8-hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives were also reported to have promising bioactivities, including anticancer, antibacterial, antidyslipidemic and antioxidative properties, vasorelaxing properties, antivirus and antiplatelet activities. The aim of this book is to provide a brief knowledge about...

The development of polymers is one of the biggest achievements made in chemistry which has a significant effect on every day life. Remarkable improvement in humanity's progress has been observed from the "Stone era" to the "Iron era" to the "Bronze era" to the "Polymer era." "Polymer" is now a household word. Polymeric metal complexes known as coordination polymers are defined as polymeric substances which are composed of metal ions or clusters connected by poly topic organic linkers via strong coordination bonds. In recent years, the design and construction of coordination polymers have...

In recent years, the design and construction of polymeric metal complexes have attracted increasing attention. Hence, we have carried out the synthesis and characterization of various ligands and its coordination polymers derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline and 2,2'-(phenyl azanediyl) diethanol derivatives, we have carried out biological activity of all synthesized compounds. The aim of this book is to provide a brief knowledge about the microbial activity of ligands and their coordination polymers. This study was carried out Dr. Khyati D. Patel at Chemistry Department, Sardar Patel University,...
