New tetradentate Schiff base transition metal complexes have been derived from salicylidene-4-imino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one and histidine were characterized by CHN analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductance, FAB-MS, IR,

H-NMR, UV, CV, EPR, Fluorescence emission, AFM and Powder XRD techniques. AFM images and Powder XRD data endure that the complexes are nano-size grains with polycrystalline structure. The spectral evidences showed that all the metal chelates are square planar geometry except [VOL] complex which exist square-pyramidal geometry. Electrochemical data (CV) for [CuL] and [VOL] complexes in acetonitrile solution indicates that the redox potential of metal ions is affected by the coordinated ligand. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectra of [CuL] and [VOL] complexes were well coinciding with proposed geometries and other reported complexes. CT-DNA interaction studies of [CuL] complex reveals that an intercalation binding mode occurs between complex and DNA base pairs. The
in vitro
antimicrobial activity of complexes has been tested against the growth of some fungal and bacterial species persist that chelates have better control than ligand.
New cationic 14-membered macrocyclic Schiff base metal complexes have been synthesized by condensation of benzalidene-curcuminyl-4-iminoantipyrine and 2,6-diaminopyridine. Structural characterization of the compounds was done using elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, Mass, SEM, XRD, 1 H NMR, UV-visible, IR and EPR spectra. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that the size of Schiff base is reduced due to chelation by the metal ion. Different morphologies of synthesized compounds were identified by SEM images. Magnetic moment values, UV-visible and IR spectral studies confirms the square planar geometry of chelates. However [VOL]Cl2 exists in octahedral geometry. Electron spin resonance spectra parameters of [CuL]Cl2 and [VOL]Cl2 complexes were well coinciding with proposed geometries. The in vitro biocidal activities of the compounds were done against some bacterial and fungal strains by disc diffusion method. Anticancer activity of Schiff base and copper complex were carried out by MTT method which reveals that the inhibition against the growth of breast cancer cell line culture for chelate is higher than Schiff base.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
