Abstract
To analyze ligand characteristics and use, a benzamide-derived ligand(benzoyl glycine) was synthesized and characterized before complexing it with zinc(II) ions. The ligand was formed from benzamide and glycine, obtained upon purification and precipitation. FTIR and 1H NMR were used to characterize the ligand. Furthermore, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to study the thermal behavior of the ligand and its Zn(II) complex, revealing important thermodynamic characteristics. The zinc complex was subjected to X-ray powder diffraction experiments, which yielded structural insights. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were used in molecular modeling to clarify structure and characteristics of the molecules. Moreover, anti-microbial tests were used to assess biological activity against E. Coli and A. Niger. This thorough investigation lays the foundation for future research in this area by offering insightful information about the synthesis, characterization, and possible uses of the ligand and its Zn(II) metal complexes.
