A novel mixed-ligand copper(II) complex [Cu(pht)2(phen)H2O] (Hpht = 5,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) was has been synthesized solvent-thermally and characterized by elemental analysis, IRand single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal of the copper complex belongs to Triclinic system with space group P1, a = 11.747(14), b = 12.639(15), c = 14.021(17)Å, α= 97.986(18)º, β= 104.958(18) º, γ= 108.485(19) º, V = 1851(4) Å3, Dc = 1.371 g/cm3, Z = 2, F(000) = 790, µ = 0.644mm-1, R1 = 0.0835, wR2= 0.1436 [I>2σ(I)] and GOF=0.867. The X-ray data showed that the Cu(II) atom adopted a distorted CuN2O3 square pyramidal configuration when coordinated with two phen ligands and one water ligand. The antimicrobial activity of the title complex was evaluated against a series of fungi or bacteria in vitro by agar method and the filter paper method, respectively.The results showed that the title complex was more active against the Fusarim gramine arum, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus Aureus than its precursor Hpht and Cu(Ac)2×H2O.
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.
