Abstract

The authors describe synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of Cu(II) complexes. Characterization of ligands has been carried out by elemental analysis, melting point, mass spectra, (1H & 13C) NMR, and FT-IR, while structure of metal complexes was confirmed by electronic spectra and FAB-mass spectral studies. Spectral studies confirm ligands is mono functional bidentate and octahedral environment around metal ions. Thermal behavior of Cu(II) complexes were investigated by means of TGA and magnetic measurements. The kinetic parameters are reported using the Freeman-Carroll method. Complexes were found significant potent antimicrobial and antioxidant activities compared to parent ligands employed for complexation. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
