The biological activity of the Co (III), Ni (II), and Cu (II) complexes of bidentate azo-Schiff bases derived from the 2-amino-6-methoxy Benzothiazole has been investigated. The azo-Schiff bases and their metal complexes were described using element analyses, magnetic moment measurements, spectroscopic (IR, electronic, 1H NMR, XRD), and thermogravimetric examinations. An octahedral geometry has been postulated for Co (III), Ni (II), and Cu (II) complexes. Coordinated water was established by thermal and infrared data from the metal complexes. The anti-cancer and anti-oxidant capabilities of Schiff bases and their metal complexes have been investigated.
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.
