Abstract: |
Spectrophotometry was used to determine trace amounts of Zirconium(IV), Mercury(II) and Uranium(VI)
in environmental, biological, pharmaceutical and industrial samples. The determination depend on the
complexation reactions between albendazole reagent and metal ions [Zr(IV), Hg(II) and U(VI)] at
555 nm, 485 nm and 510 nm, respectively. The experimental conditions were explored to reach the opti-mum conditions for albendazole-metal ions interaction, including detection of a suitable wavelength,
medium (pH), reagent concentration, surfactants effect, reaction time and temperature. Under optimum
conditions, the complexes displayed apparent molar absorptivities of 0.835010

for the developed methods, respectively.
Furthermore, Elemental analysis, thermal analysis (TGA, DTG), IR,
1
HNMR, spectroscopies, electrical
molar conductivity and magnetic moment measurements were used to determine the structures and
characteristics of the complexes. A careful examination of the IR spectra revealed that the ligand inter-acted with all of the metal ions described as a bidentate via the oxygen of the carbonyl of the ester moiety
and the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclicAC@NAgroup. An octahedral geometry for Zr(IV), Hg(II) and U
(VI) complexes has been postulated based on magnetic and electronic spectrum data. The band gap val-ues indicated that these complexes were semi-conductors and belong to the same class of extremely
effective solar materials. The albendazole ligand and its complexes have been biologically tested against
a variety of bacterial and fungal strains, and molecular docking studies have been conducted to evaluate
the optimal binding site and its inhibitory action
