Abstract
2-amino-6-nitro-benzothiazole and thiosemicarbazide with formaldehyde (BTF) terpolymer ligand and its metal complexes have been synthesized. The plausible structure of the synthesized BTF terpolymer ligand was elucidated on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral studies such as FTIR, UV-Vis, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used to determine the molecular weight of the terpolymer. The terpolymer metal complexes were analyzed by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurements, and magnetic susceptibilities. The structure and geometry of the metal complexes were confirmed by various spectral techniques viz. electronic, ESR, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. The morphology of the BTF terpolymer ligand and its metal complexes was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the terpolymer ligand and its complexes was determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Freeman–Carroll (FC), Sharp–Wentworth (SW) and Phadnis–Deshpande (PD) methods were used to calculate the thermal activation energy (Ea), order of reaction (n), entropy change (ΔS), free energy change (ΔF), apparent entropy (S*) and frequency factor (Z) from the TGA data. Phadnis–Deshpande method was also used to propose the thermal degradation model for the decomposition pattern of the terpolymer ligand. The terpolymer ligand and its metal complexes were screened for its antimicrobial activity against chosen microbes.
