Abstract

New pentadentate binucleating ligands containing phenoxide as an endogenous bridging group, 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol bis(carbohydrazone) (L1H), and 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol bis(semicarbazone) (L2H), and their binuclear Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of general formula [M2LCl3] · nH2O with chloride as an exogenous bridge have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, thermal analysis, IR, Far-IR, NMR, UV–Vis, EPR, FAB-mass and magnetic data. The coordination mode (N4O, N2O3), as well as endogenous phenoxide bridge and an exogenous chloride bridge have been established on the basis of IR, Far-IR and 1H-NMR spectral data. Electronic spectral data of the complexes indicate square-pyramidal geometry. EPR spectra show line broadening, which is further supported by weak antiferromagnetic interaction from the room temperature magnetic moment data. All compounds show appreciable antimicrobial activity.
