Abstract
Coordination compounds of MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII, ZnII, CdII and HgII ions with o-aminoacetophenone o-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone (AAOHBH) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, magnetic moments (at ca. 25 °C) and spectral (i.r., u.v., n.m.r. and m.s.) studies. The i.r. spectra show that the ligand acts in a monovalent bidentate, neutral bidentate and/or neutral tridentate fashion, depending on the metal salt used and the reaction medium. Tetrahedral structures are proposed for both CoII and NiII complexes and square planar for CuII complexes on the basis of magnetic and spectral evidence. The complex formation in solution was investigated potentiometrically and spectrophotometrically. Spectral studies in solution show that the ligand can be used for the microdetermination of CoII ion within a metal concentration up to 46.3 p.p.m. The electrical conductivity of AAOHBH and its metal complexes was determined. The tendency of AAOHBH to form complexes with CoII, NiII, CuII, CdII and HgII ions in 50% aqueous-dioxane was studied by pH measurements.
The antimicrobiol activity of AAOHBH and its complexes derived from CoII, NiII and CuII illustrates that the NiII complex seems to be inert towards Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The antimicrobial activity of the CuII complex was higher against E. coli and lower against B. subtilis than the corresponding organic ligand. The CoII complex has the same activity as the organic ligand against E. coli.
