Abstract: |
A series of new mixed ligand metal complexes of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II),
Cu(II), and Zn(II) have been synthesized by the reaction of norfloxacin (NOR)
with 3-(bromoacetyl)coumarin (BAC) in 1:1:1 (Mn+:NOR:BAC) molar ratio,
which characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic measurements
(FT-IR, UV–Vis) molar conductance, effective magnetic moments, and
thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and (DTG). All the complexes soluble in
DMSO and the conductivity measurement indicate that the complexes are
electrolyte with ratio 1:1 for Mn(II), Fe(II), and Zn(II) and 1:2 for Co(II),
Ni(II), and Cu(II). Electronic and magnetic data elucidated the octahedral
structure for all complexes. Assorted thermodynamic factors are calculated,
and the results are explicated. Molecular modeling calculations (bond angles,
dihedral angles, total energy, heat of formation, and dipole moment) confirm
the structural geometry of the complexes and indicate the very good agreement
between the computed and experimental geometrical parameters. The
calculated data for the hardness (η) and absolute softness (σ) showed that all
complexes are soft with respect to ligands. The two ligands and their metal
complexes have also been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal
activity against some selected species; the data showed that the complexes
have remarkable potency as compared with the parent ligands.
