Oxovanadium(IV) complexes have been synthesized and characterized the general composition [VOL(A)], where H2L = salicylidene-o-aminothiophenol A1 = bis(benzylidene)ethylenediamine, A2 = bis(acetophenone)ethylenediamine, A3 = 2,2'-bipyridylamine, A4 = bis(benzylidene) - 1,8-diaminonaphthalene, A5 = thiophene-o-carboxaldeneaniline and A6 = thiophene-o-carboxaldene-p-anisidine. Spectral studies indicate that the oxovanadium(IV) complexes assume a six-coordinate octahedral geometry. The antibacterial activities of the complexes against Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli and Serratia mercescens are higher as compared to the free ligands, vanadyl sulphate, and the control (DMSO) but of moderate activity as compared to the standard drug (tetracycline).
Complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with the Schiff bases salicylidene-o-aminothiophenol (H2L) and thiophene-o-carboxaldeneaniline (SB) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, thermogravimetric analyses as well as infrared spectra and reflectance spectra. The nature of the bonding has been discussed on the basis of IR spectral data. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectral data suggest a six-coordinated octahedral structure for these complexes. The complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) are paramagnetic, while Zn(II) and Cd(II) are diamagnetic in nature. The complexes were tested for their antimicrobial activities against Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens using the "Disc Diffusion Method". The results are compared with the standard drug (tetracycline) and show moderate activity.
A series of preparations are reported representing complexes between a range of ligands [KHL = potassium salt of salicylidene-b-alanine, A 1 = 2,2¢-bipyridylamine, A 2 = bis(benzylidene)ethylenediamine, A 3 = thiophene-o-carboxaldene-aniline, A 4 = thiophene-o-carboxaldene-p-toluidine, A 5 = bis(benzylidene)-1,8-diaminonaphthalene, A 6 = bis(acetophenone)ethylenediamine] and oxovanadium(IV) ion. Relevant electronic (UV), infrared (IR) spectra, thermogravimetric analyses, elemental analyses, and magnetic measurements are reported and interpreted in terms of the metal ion coordination geometry and, where appropriate, the likely octahedral structures of the compounds. The complexes are paramagnetic in nature. The antifungal activity of the complexes against A. niger, F. oxysporum, and A. flavus species is reported. All the tested complexes show higher antifungal activity as compared to free ligands, vanadyl sulfate, and the control (DMSO), but moderate activity as compared to the reference fungicides bavistin and emcarb.
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.
