Integrated analysis of nano Schiff base complex for bioelectronic applications.

ABSTRACT: Schiff base complexes possess biological activity and electronic features, making them suitable for integration into both core and auxiliary components of bioelectronic technologies. However, integrated studies addressing their electrical, biological, and mechanical properties remain limited. This work investigates a Cu(II) complex based on a Schiff base ligand derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 1,8-diaminonaphthalene. Comprehensive textural analyses using XRD, HRTEM, FESEM, AFM, and N₂ adsorption revealed high surface area, nanoscale morphology, and porosity, which are advantageous for antimicrobial and therapeutic bioelectronic platforms. Mechanical characterization via ultrasonic pulse-echo indicated auxetic behavior, a rare and valuable trait for flexible substrates. The compl
