Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Antimicrobial Properties of [Diaquabis(hexamethylenetetramine)diisothiocyanato-κN]nickel(II)  Complex

Abstract

A nickel(II) complex with hexamethylenetetramine and thiocyanate ion as coligands has been synthesized and characterised by infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of the complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the ligands were found to coordinate terminally through N-atoms. The ligand and the complex were screened for their activity against resistant strains of bacteria (Salmonella enteric, Shigella flexneri, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi (Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida neoformans).

“…Secondly, the ligand also destroys part of the bacterial membrane, and the bacteria cannot further divide and multiply and thus die. These observations are similar to the biological activities of previously successfully reported complexes [76][77][78][79].…”

Synthesis, Crystal Structures, Thermal and Antimicrobial Properties of Mn(II) Complexes of 1,10-Phenanthroline With Some Co-Ligands

“…One of our research interests is the systematic study of transition metal complexes containing heterocyclic N-donor ligands and other co-ligands (Agwara, Ndifon et al 2010, Amah, Ondoh et al 2015, Gaë lle, Yufanyi et al 2016, Tabong, Yufanyi et al 2016). The emergence of drug-resistant bacterial and fungal strains has become a public health concern (WHO 2014).…”
