This paper describes the simple and environmentally friendly production of AgNPs using Dimrit raisin, grown in Burdur, extract. To optimize the synthesis of AgNPs, a number of variables, including extract concentration, silver solution concentration, synthesis time, and synthesis temperature, were investigated. AgNPs were obtained after 173 h at 1% extract concentration and 10-1 M silver concentration. The structure of the synthesised AgNPs was investigated by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). TEM analysis showed that the majority of the AgNPs had a spherical shape, and the average particle size was 30 nm. Antimicrobial activity was seen against Staphylococcus aureus ATTC43300, Enterococcus faecalis ATTC29212, Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Gram-negative Salmonella enterocolitis, E. coli 0157:H7 ATTC 43895, and Escherichia coli ATTC 35150.

In this study, new luminescent coordination polymers containing cadmium ions, 1,10-phenanthroline and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid ligands were synthesised under hydrothermal conditions. The structure of the synthesised Cd(II) CPs was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the adsorption and sensing applications of Cd(II) CPs were investigated. The removal of diclofenac, an organic micropollutant, from aqueous systems was investigated for the adsorption application of Cd(II) CPs. The adsorption isotherms fitted the Langmuir model better than the Freundlich model. Adsorption equilibrium was reached after 240 min at pH 6.5 and 298 K, resulting in a maximum adsorption capacity of 1822 mg/g. In the other analytical application of Cd(II) CPs, the detection of Cu2+ and Ni2+ cations in aqueous medium was investigated based on their fluorescence properties. According to the results Cd(II) CPs have better sensitivity and selectivity. The fluorescence intensity of Cd(II) CPs decreased linearly due to the quenching mechanism. The K SV values were calculated to be 1.82 × 108 M−1 for Cu2+ and 8.2 × 108 M−1 for Ni2+. The limits of detection Cu2+ and Ni2+ cations for Cd(II) CPs were calculated to be 2.78 × 10−8 and 6.15 × 10−9 M, respectively. The detection of Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions was performed with a fast response, a wide linear range and a very low detection limit and could be used on real water samples without any matrix interference.
