Abstract

Two benzanthrone derivatives with an amide group (B1 and B2) attached to the C-3 atom have been synthesized and characterized by different spectral methods. The basic photophysical characteristics were investigated in organic solvents of different polarity. A batochromic shift was observed in the transition from non-polar to polar media. The influence of copper ions on the intensity of fluorescence emission was investigated and a stable copper complex with compound B2 was isolated. Its chemical structure was characterized by electronic spectroscopy, IR and EPR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of the isolated complex was found to be at a 1: 1 ligand-copper ratio. The microbiological activity of the newly synthesized compounds against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and yeast was examined. The copper complex enhanced the antibacterial activity compared to that of the ligand.
