Abstract
This article reports the synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial screening of a tridentate 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)imino methyl]-1-naphthol ligand (H2AP) and its organotellurium(IV) complexes. Structural characterization of the synthesized ligand and complexes was confirmed by using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-vis, mass spectrometry, molar conductance and elemental analysis. Geometry of all the synthesized compounds has been optimized and their DFT based chemical reactivity descriptors were calculated. DFT and spectral data studies revealed distorted square pyramidal geometry for the tellurium(IV) complexes. In vitro antimicrobial activities of the synthesized ligand and its tellurium(IV)complexes were evaluated against two Gram-positive, two Gram-negative bacterial strains and three fungal strains. The tellurium(IV) complexes exhibited promising activity as compared to the Schiff base ligand.
