| Abstract: | We have reported herein the synthesis of three new Cu(II) complexes of tri- and tetradentate Schiff base ligands containing
N3 or N4 donor set along with terminal NNN− or SCN− ligands: L1Cu(NCS)]ClO4 (1), L2Cu(NCS)2] (2) and L3Cu(NNN)]ClO4 (3) L1 = NC5H4C(CH3)=N(CH2)3N=C(CH3)C5H4N, L2= Me2N–(CH2)3–N=C(CH3)C5H4N and L3 = NC5H4CH=N–(CH2)4–N=CHC5H4N]. The complexes have been systematically characterised by elemental, spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. Antimicrobial
activities of the Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes have been studied using the disc diffusion method on the strains
of Candida tropicalis and Bacillus megaterium. Structures of all the complexes have been unequivocally established from single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses that
show the monomeric units containing a five-coordinated copper center in highly distorted square pyramidal geometry with thiocyanate
or azide anion coordinated as terminal ligand. The complexes 1 and 3 crystallise in monoclinic (P21/c) and 2 in triclinic (P-1) space group, respectively. |
