Composites based on nitroprusside cyano-bridged coordination polymer particles and chitosan for NO delivery Gorra, Melvyn Palacios López, María de los Ángeles We report the design of new composite films {Fe[Fe(CN)5(NO)]}0.55@C6H11NO4 and {Ag2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]}0.28@ C6H11NO4 based on cyano-bridged coordination polymers FeII[FeII(CN)5(NO)] or Ag2 I[FeII(CN)5(NO)] grown into a chitosan matrix that are able to provide a slow NO radical release under white light irradiation. The characterisation methods such as X-ray diffraction, TGA, SEM-EDX, IR and UV-vis spectroscopies show that these composites are made of ca. 50 wt% of the cyano-bridged coordination polymer as microcrystalline particles embedded into chitosan films. Irradiation for 7 days by using white light results in initiating a 6.5 and 10.6% NO radical delivery for {Fe[Fe(CN)5(NO)]}0.55@C6H11NO4 and {Ag2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]}0.28@C6H11NO4, respectively. The rearrangement of the cyano-bridged coordination compounds after the NO departure leads to the formation of Prussian blue or silver Prussian blue analogues, which limits the unwanted release of cyanide as a side effect. 2023-01-16T09:05:22Z 2023-01-16T09:05:22Z 2022-11-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article New J.
