morphism (Rosbottom et al., 2018) and numerous biological
activities (Prior et al., 2014; Igberase et al., 2019). In a previous
work, we reported the syntheses of 4-(2-nitrobenzene-
sulfonamido)benzoic acid and its tri-n-butyltin(IV) complex
eter (L1006m016, Agilent Technologies) also using a 1.0 cm
quartz cell.

.1.1. Synthesis of 2-(4-nitrobenzenesulfonamido)benzoic
acid (HL). The synthesis followed a procedure described in the
literature (Deng & Mani, 2006). Stoichiometric amounts of
-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride and 2-aminobenzoic acid
may provide important information about the binding
mechanism, binding constants and interaction sites. Human
serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in human
blood plasma (ca 60%), being involved in the distribution,
metabolism and elimination of drugs (Ascenzi et al., 2014). It
has been shown that silver(I) complexes with a variety of
organic ligands bind to HSA (Yilmaz et al., 2017) and to
bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Tamayo et al., 2017), suggesting
that the complexes could be transported by albumins.

were suspended in distilled water (100 ml). Under vigorous
stirring, an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate was added
to adjust the pH to between 8.0 and 9.0. After the consump-
tion of the reagents and stabilization of the pH, concentrated
HCl solution was added to attain a pH of 2.0, which allowed
precipitation of HL. The solid was filtered off, washed with
water to remove excess HCl and dried in vacuo. Single crystals
suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation
from an ethanol solution.

2.1.2. Synthesis of AgL. To an ethanol solution (40 ml)
containing HL (1.0 mmol) was added dropwise an aqueous
solution of NaOH to adjust the pH of the solution to 7.0. After
an hour of stirring, an aqueous solution of AgNO (1.0 mmol)

was added. The reaction mixture was stirred in the dark at
room temperature for a further 24 h. The resulting solid was
filtered off and washed with water, ethanol and diethyl ether,
and dried in vacuo. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis
were obtained by slow evaporation from the mother solution
stored in the dark at 298 K.
In the present work, we used 2-(4-nitrobenzenesulfon-
amido)benzoic acid (HL) (Fig. 1) to obtain a new silver(I)
complex (AgL) (see Scheme 1). The crystal structures of both
were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The
Hirshfeld surfaces were used to describe the intermolecular
interactions. In addition, the interaction of the compounds
with HSA was investigated by steady-state fluorescence
spectroscopy.
