RESUMEN
Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of 2-butyl-4-chloro-5-formylimidazole thiosemicarbazone (L) are synthesized and characterized by using spectroscopic techniques like elemental analysis, FT-IR, mass spectrometry, electronic and EPR spectra. The complexes are found to have characteristic electronic spectra and the geometry of the complexes are identified as octahedron. Both the complexes are found to exhibit similar anti-microbial activity against the gram –ve and gram +ve bacteria. Anti-cancer activity against the cancer cell lines (MDA-MB 231 cell lines) among the compounds studied for % of viability, the inhibition concentration 50 values were shown by Cu(II)-L complex at 80 mg/ml and by Ni(II)-L complex at 100 mg/ml.
RESUMEN
The ligation behavior of 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehydethiosemicarbazone (L) and its Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes has been synthesized and characterized by Elemental analysis, Electronic, FT-IR, Raman, EPR spectral techniques and Cyclic voltammetric study. The ligand (L) belongs to triclinic system with P1 space group. The IR spectral data of ligand indicate the taking part of sulphur and azomethine nitrogen in coordination to the central metal ion. The electronic, FT-IR and EPR spectral studies reveals all the complexes are distorted octahedral geometry. The synthesized ligand and its metal(II) complexes were tested for their antioxidant activity by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and antibacterial activity against E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhi and Klebsiella pneumonia. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the ligand and its metal complexes had shown moderate to good activity, among all the compounds Ni(II) complex had shown more activity.
