Abstract
Five new mixed ligand coper(II) complexes, viz. [Cu(SAA)(H 2O)] ( 1), [Cu(SAA)(MeImH)] ( 2), [Cu(SAA)(EtImH)] ( 3), [Cu(SAA)(BenzImH)] ( 4) and [Cu(SAA)(MebenzImH)] ( 5), where SAA = salicylideneanthranilic acid, MeImH = 2-methylimidazole, EtImH = 2-ethylimidazole, BenzImH = benzimidazole, MebenzImH = 2-methylbenzimidazole, have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, FAB mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility, X-band EPR, electronic spectroscopy, IR and cyclic voltammetry. The frozen solution EPR spectra of the complexes have shown axial features. Single crystal X-ray analysis of 2 and 3 has revealed the presence of a distorted square planar geometry (N 2O 2) in the complexes. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of the present complexes has also been measured and discussed.
