A series of novel Cu(II) complexes with four bis-N,O-bidentate Schiffbase ligands were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of some complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis, confirming the coordination mode. Theoretical calculations and biological activity evaluation showed promising results for potential antimicrobial agents.
A novel series of Cu(II) complexes, including: [Cu(L-1)(2)]: C1, [Cu(L-2)(2)]: C2, [Cu(L-3)(2)]: C3, [Cu(L-4)(2)]: C4, with four bis-N,O-bidentate Schiffbase ligands(HL1: (E)-4-[(2-hydroxy-3methoxybenzylidene)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one; HL2 : (E)-4-[(2-hydroxy4-methoxybenzylidene)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one; HL3 : (E)-4-[(2hydroxy-5-methoxybenzylidene)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one; HL4: (E)4-[(2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzylidene) amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, 1 H NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, the crystal structures of HL4 and C2 were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Single crystal X-ray analyses, the structure of C2 confirmed the bidentate coordination mode. The metal center possesses a distorted tetrahedral geometry with bis-N,O donor atoms coordinating from Schiffbase ligand. Theoretical calculation of the synthesized compounds were carried out by DFT using B3LYP method with employing the Def2-SVPD (for ligands) and Def2-SV(P) (for complexes) basis sets. Calculated data are in good accordance with the experimental investigations. The in vitro biological activities of the synthesized ligands and their copper(II) complexes were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The activity data showed that the metal complexes have a promising biological potential comparable with the parent Schiffbase ligands against bacterial species. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
