Abstract

AbstractThe titled compound 1,4-diazacycloheptane have vibrational freedom which allows it to coordinate to metal through 1st and 4th positions. Copper (II) and Nickel (II) complexes of DACH were prepared and characterized through UV-Visible, FT-IR, elemental analyses, conductance, and magnetic susceptibilities and compared to the results published in Inorg. Chem., 8(3), 528 (1969). The prepared complexes bearing different coordinating or non-coordinating anions were screened against four different pathogenic bacterial strains to study anionic effect on antibacterial activity. The MIC values of all the compounds suggest that [Cu(DACH)2Br2] is almost inactive against the tested microbes except Staph aureus. Rest of the metal complexes are active at their respective MIC values.

Highlights

  • Acyclic molecules containing the linkage -N(CH2)N- have been exploited as multidentate ligands for transition metal ions where it coordinates as multidentate ligand

  • The metal complexation of ligands containing oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur have been coordinated with metals like copper, zinc, cobalt and iron, showing enhanced antihypertensive, antimalarial, antimicrobial properties

  • The complexes of the transition metal ions have been found as efficient electron transfer agents in many biological processes [14,15,16,17,18]

Summary

Introduction

Acyclic molecules containing the linkage -N(CH2)N- have been exploited as multidentate ligands for transition metal ions where it coordinates as multidentate ligand. The complexes of the transition metal ions have been found as efficient electron transfer agents in many biological processes [14,15,16,17,18]. They are acting as promoters for oxygen transport reaction [19,20,21,22,23]. Antibacterial Activities of Transition Metal complexes of Mesocyclic Amidine 1,4-diazacycloheptane (DACH) 937
