Abstract

A novel water-soluble carboxylate-bridged copper(II) coordination polymer, Cu-BIG was formed by the reaction of \(\hbox {Cu}(\hbox {ClO}_{4})_{2}\cdot \hbox {6H}_{2}\hbox {O}\) and tridentate benzimidazole-glycine conjugate ligand, 2-((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methylamino) acetic acid, BIGH and its structure has been determined by IR, UV, powder XRD, VSM, CV, TGA, DTA, EPR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic studies indicate it to be a coordination polymer with Pī Space group. The asymmetric unit of complex contains two Cu(II) ions with elongated square pyramid geometry. The axial positions of the Cu(II) atoms are occupied by the carbonyl oxygen of the carboxylate group with the bond distances \(\hbox {Cu}(1)\)–\(\hbox {O}(5)_{{axial}},\, 2.28\, {\AA }\), and \(\hbox {Cu}(2)\)–\(\hbox {O}(2)_{{axial}},\, 2.26\, {\AA }\). The two Cu(II) are connected through the carboxylic group present in BIGH, which provides electron mobilisation in the molecule and hence results in the soft ferromagnetic polymer. An in vitro antibacterial activity study of BIGH and Cu-BIG showed moderate activity against Bacillus subtilis. The DNA binding studies showed the interaction of Cu-BIG with CT-DNA.
