The complex formation between Cr(III) and morin was carried out in methanol and confirmed by analytical characterization using UV-Vis, IR, 1H NMR, and TG-DTA. UV-Vis shows significant bathochromic shift in benzoyl upon coordination as well as IR well illustrates the peak shift of C=O group and formation of a O–Cr(III) bond. Likewise, 1H NMR studies clarify that Cr(III) metal ion replaces the 5OH proton hence; 5-hydroxy-4-keto site is employed by morin in chelation to form six-membered stable ring system out of three available chelating sites. In addition, TG-DTA denotes the presence of coordinated and crystalline water molecules. The melting point of the complex was found to be 389°C by DSC. In addition, Cr(III)-morin complex was found to be a more potent antioxidant than morin as evaluated by DPPH• and FRAP methods.
This study examines the interaction of Mg(II) and Ca(II) with morin (2 0 ,3,4 0 ,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) in conjunction with the appraisal of antioxidant and biological properties of the complexes. The complexes were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, thermal, and elemental analyses. The complexes have also been studied to determine metal : ligand stoichiometry. For antioxidant studies, it may be induced that complex formation increases the scavenging ability because of the differential and selective role of metals in free radical scavenging. The bioactivity studies show that both complexes have remarkable antibacterial properties against Micrococcus flavus and Staphylococcus aureus.
The article describes the synthesis and characterisation of the Cr(III)-rutin complex along with an estimate of its antioxidant activity. The complex was characterised using elemental analysis, UV-VIS, IR, conductance data, thermal, and gravimetric analyses. In the UV-VIS study, a bathochromic shift of approximately 98 nm indicates the formation of a rutin complex by more than one chelating site. The FT-IR spectra clearly show the formation of the Cr—O bond between rutin and Cr(III) at 494 cm−1, while the thermal study shows the presence of eight coordinated water molecules in the complex. The gravimetric analysis quantitatively proves the presence of four chloride ions. From these data, the formula of the Cr(III)-rutin complex was deduced as [Cr2(C27H28O16)(H2O)8]Cl4. Moreover, the antioxidant study of the complex was evaluated by using 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical, ferric-reducing, and phosphomolybdenum assays, which show that the complex has a higher antioxidant activity than rutin.
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.
