Let R be a commutative ring with unity. The extension of annihilating-ideal graph of R, $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R), is the graph whose vertices are nonzero annihilating ideals of R and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if there exist n, m ∈ ℕ such that IⁿJ^m = (0) with Iⁿ, J^m ≠ (0). First, we differentiate when 𝔸𝔾(R) and $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) coincide. Then, we have characterized the diameter and the girth of $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) when R is a finite direct products of rings. Moreover, we show that $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) contains a cycle, if $^{\bar{\mathbb{AG}}}$(R) ≠ 𝔸𝔾(R).

Let R be a commutative ring with unity. If f(x) is a zero-divisor polynomial such that $f(x)=c_f f_1(x)$ with $c_f{\in}R$ and $f_1(x)$ is not zero-divisor, then $c_f$ is called an annihilating content for f(x). In this case $Ann(f)=Ann(c_f )$. We defined EM-rings to be rings with every zero-divisor polynomial having annihilating content. We showed that the class of EM-rings includes integral domains, principal ideal rings, and PP-rings, while it is included in Armendariz rings, and rings having a.c. condition. Some properties of EM-rings are studied and the zero-divisor graphs ${\Gamma}(R)$ and ${\Gamma}(R[x])$ are related if R was an EM-ring. Some properties of annihilating contents for polynomials are extended to formal power series rings.
