The derivatives 5,7-dimethyl[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidin-4-ium-2-thiolate () and 7-methyl-5-phenyl[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidin-4-ium-2-thiolate () were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their supramolecular structure is built through both π-π stacking and C=S-π interactions for both compounds. The embedment of the tested compounds into FeO@C core-shell nanocoatings increased the protection degree against biofilms on the catheter surface, suggesting that these bioactive nanocoatings could be further developed as non-cytotoxic strategies for fighting biofilm-associated fungal infections.
