Abstract
Three novel mixed ligand Zn(II) complexes {complex 1 = [Zn(L1)2(bpy)], complex 2 = [Zn(L2)2(bpy)], complex 3 = [Zn(L2)2(phen)], where bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline} of 4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (HL1) and 4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methyl-2-(p-tolyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (HL2) were synthesized and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, FTIR, TG-DTA, UV–Vis, elemental analysis, molar conductance and single crystal X-ray structure determination. Based on analytical and spectroscopic techniques, all the three Zn(II) complexes were found to have a distorted octahedral geometry. The ligands and the complexes were screened for antimalarial activity against plasmodium falciparum. The zinc(II) complexes showed greater antimalarial activity than their parent ligands.
