Crystal Growth, Spectral, Magnetic, Antibacterial and Antifungal Studies of Co(II) and Ni(II) Complexes of 4-Nitrobenzoic Acid

Biological Activity of Complexes Involving Nitro-Containing Ligands and Crystallographic-Theoretical Description of 3,5-DNB Complexes

“…In this case, the complexes presented higher activity than the free ligand but lesser activity than gentamycin against all bacteria, except Staphylococcus aureus, at a concentration of 100 μg/mL. Additionally, the ligand and the complexes were more active than clotrimazole for Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger [ 39 ].…”

Growth and Characterization Studies on Nicotinic Acid Doped Kdp Crystals

“…On the other hand, the 4% NKDP crystal shows good inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli and proteus organisms rather than 3% NKDP. The nature of coordination and nuclearity of the compounds in the crystal causes the antibacterial potent of the material [18][19][20]. The doped KDP crystal has higher antibacterial efficiency due to chelation formation, which reduces the polarity of the metal ion (k + ) to a greater extent.…”

Influence of the Lewis basicity hardness of crystallization solvents on the coordination sphere of the complex [Co(3,5-dinitrobenzoate-O,O′)2]: crystallographic and theoretical analysis

“…13 These results are important considering the potentiality to design complexes with properties derived from inner-sphere electron transfer between metals. 21–25 To the best of our knowledge, studies involving the effect of the crystallization solvent on the crystal structure of complexes containing DNB ligands are scarce. 16,18 As is known, coordination compounds are obtained due to the reaction between Lewis acids (metals) and bases (ligands).…”
