Application

3-Cyanobenzoic acid was used in the preparation of new Co(II)-doped Zn(II)-tetrazole-benzoate coordination polymers via in situ [2+3] cycloaddition reactions with NaN3 in the presence of Zn(II) and/or Co(II) salts under hydrothermal conditions. It was also used in the synthesis of three-dimensional coordination polymer, [Mn3(OH)2Na2(3-cnba)6]n (3-Hcnba = 3-cyanobenzoic acid).

A three-dimensional coordination polymer, [Mn3(OH)2Na2(3-cnba)6]n (1) (3-Hcnba = 3-cyanobenzoic acid), has been synthesized by the reaction of MnCl2, NaN3, and 3-Hcnba in water. Its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Magnetic studies show that the complex behaves as

The adenylation domain of nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) is responsible for the selective substrate recognition and its activation (as an acyl-O-AMP intermediate) during ATP consumption. DhbE, a stand-alone adenylation domain, acts on an aromatic acid, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB). This activation

Recently, preparation and screening of compound libraries remain one of the most challenging tasks in drug discovery, biomarker detection, and biomolecular profiling processes. So far, several distinct encoding/decoding methods such as chemical encoding, graphical encoding, and optical encoding have been
