Potentiometric and UV-spectrophotometric methods have been used to study the coordination properties of crown ethers and their derivatives containing 9,10-dioxo-l-anthryl, 8-hydroxy-9,10-dioxo-l-anthryl and 8-tosyloxy-9,10dioxo-1-anthryl substituents with respect to the silver(i) ion in propylene carbonate. It was found that unsubstituted crown ligands were capable of forming two types of complex ion. The silver(i) ion can enter the macrocycle cavity forming 1:1 complexes or can coordinate externally to the nitrogen atom of a ligand as occurs for typical complexes of silver(i) with nitrogen ligands. This results in Ag(crown)2+ complexes. Introduction of chromophore groups allows investigation of the mechanism of AgL+ and AgL2+ complex formation by spectrophotometric methods. Attaching a bulky chromophore to the nitrogen atom of the aza-crown makes the formation of the AgL2+ complexes formonoaza-crown-15 strongly restricted or impossible. For 13-(9,10-dioxo-l-anthryl)-l,4,7,10-tetraoxa-13azacyclopentadecane (AjlSCSAQN) the presence of only one substituent leads to an increase in the stability of the external complex (AgL2) and the formation of other complex structures Ag2L32+ and Ag3L23+.

The synthesis of a variety of 1,8-substituted anthraquinones, anthrones and bianthrones and their potential as antifungal agents is evaluated. Preliminary screening against Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe), a fission yeast, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), a budding yeast, is reported. Both these yeast species demonstrate close homologue to a number of pathogenic fungi.
